MT. VERNON — — A new distinction for the King City was celebrated Monday — the home of Tank of the Year.
Representatives of Tnemec, Tri-Kote, HMG and Coating Solutions were on hand to present the City Council with the award, which sports an etched picture of the Tank of the Year, located behind Times Square Mall.
More than 1,500 tanks were initially nominated for the award, according to Doug Hanson of Tnemec. About 200 tanks were in the final round of the contest, which allowed people to go online and vote for their favorite water tank. Tnemec is an industrial paint coatings supplier.
In addition to the honorary title, the Mt. Vernon Times Square water tank is featured on the cover of the 2014 promotional calendar for the company.
"We introduced the Tank of the Year about seven years ago," Hanson said. "The honor went to a tank in Florida last year. ... With the rebranding of Mt. Vernon, this tank really stood out. Before we came to give the award, we visited it in person, and it looks better in person than any picture can show."
The nomination for the award was made by HMG Engineers, which provided the tower engingeering design, TriKote Industrial Coatings, which painted the tank when it was complete and Coating Solutions which provided the paint. Representatives of all the companies were on hand for the presentation.
About 9,000 calendars are distributed by the company, as well as a newsletter featuring the tank, which has a 25,000 distribution.
"This has been fun for all of us," Mayor Mary Jane Chesley said. "We have enjoyed the national recognition."

We took a dinner run to Arkansas to have dinner at a drive in called Cruizzers. They have a gastronomic delicacy called a "Daddy Don Special", which is a footlong hot dog with chili, cheese, onions and jalapenos! Yum! We left on saturday April 19th and returned Sunday the 20th. About 850 miles each way, and a total of 25 hours on the bike(s). Our friends Hollywood and Kristina and my wife Miriam and I made this trip as a kick off for the CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association) annual Run for the Son. This event raises money for missions use in the US and abroad. Cruizzers is located in Mena, Arkansas. Mena is just up the road from Hatfield which is home to the CMA headquarters and Iron Mountain.

I would like to thank two writers whose letters were published in the Oct. 30 Herald. First, Marvin Dunn's beautifully written letter, Lemon City name change?, says exactly what I feel. If we keep changing street names and tearing down pieces of history to build more eyesores, we'll have no history left.
Dave Becker, in his letter Home advantage, also expressed how I feel about the building of a stadium for the University of Miami in Tropical Park. It is shameful when you think of the stadiums the Canes play in when on the road and where they play at home. The students would come if a stadium were closer.

Microsoft today touted the new self-help support baked into Windows 7, even as its engineers continue to wrestle with an "endless reboot" problem that has crippled some computers being upgraded from Vista.
The company's revamped technical support relies heavily on a new feature in Windows 7, dubbed "Action Center," said Lori Brownell, general manager of product quality and online support, in a long statement Microsoft issued Wednesday. Action Center is Windows 7's version of Vista's Security Center, but it also offers more than 20 automated troubleshooters that are accessed either at the user's request, or automatically by the OS.
[ Get InfoWorld's 21-page hands-on look at the new version of Windows. | The real-world state of Windows: Check out InfoWorld's live Windows Pulse monitors of users' app preferences and PC configurations. ]
"These troubleshooters can diagnose and solve the most common problems reported by Windows users, including set-up and compatibility issues, hardware defects and the like," said Brownell.
Two other Microsoft executives also called out the Action Center as a cornerstone for the support changes the company's instituted with Windows 7.
"One of the things we've put together is a[n] Action Center script that helps users migrate [data files] out of the Windows.old folder," Ben Bennett, the director of Microsoft's Windows consumer global support group, said in an interview earlier this week. Some users, he added, have been unable to access, or even find, critical documents after upgrading to Windows 7.
"Assuming you didn't completely reformat your drive -- and only a few customers do -- you still have the old folders on the machine," Bennet continued.
"The Action Center is based on PowerShell," added Paul Aaron, Microsoft's senior group manager for Windows supportability, talking about the command line- and scripting language-based tool integrated into Windows 7. "If customers call in, we can run that script by getting them to download it."
Microsoft is using feedback from more traditional support venues -- phone- and e-mail-based support -- to create new Action Center scripts, said Aaron. "Once we've proved them, and hit the quality bar that we want, we'll post them to the Download Center," he said, referring to Microsoft's centralized download site.
Other new support moves Microsoft's made for the launch of Windows 7 include a Twitter account -- MicrosoftHelps -- that it's using to take support queries.
"We're using it more as a routing function," said Aaron. "We have a team looking for those tweets, and they try to look for answers in the Microsoft support properties. If they can find an answer, they'll do a TinyURL for answers. If not, they'll post the question on behalf of the user on Microsoft Answers," he continued, referring to the new umbrella moniker for Microsoft's consumer support. "It's not intended to directly answer questions, but to get people the right answers."
Bennett seconded that. "Every day, we're coming up with new ways to get the word back up to users," he said. "This is the first time we've been able almost to get real-time help to users. I think we're moving faster than we've ever been able to move before."

Samsung Optical Smart Hub review
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
It's a DVD burner! It's a Wi-Fi hotspot! It's a media streamer! Wrapping your mind around the Samsung Optical Smart Hub - a unique storage and streaming product with a singularly unintuitive name, a perplexing appearance, and several very specific uses - is rather challenging. Ultimately the Optical Smart Hub presents an intriguing concept for making use of optical discs in a mobile world, but it stumbles in its design and presentation.

Funding opportunities
The consequences of chromosome imbalance: using a trisomic human embryonic stem cell line to determine the primary defects in individuals trisomic for chromosome 13 (Patau syndrome)
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$500 000
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Over 50% of all human conceptions have too much or little genetic material, often due to the gain or loss of entire chromosomes. The majority of these are spontaneously aborted, but a significant fraction develop to term. Perhaps the most well known is trisomy 21, Downs syndrome, in which the individual bears three rather than the normal two copies of chromosome 21. Aneuploidy results in severe developmental abnormalities including mental retardation and severe physiological abnormalities. In spite of its frequency and biomedical relevance, we known little about the primary causes of the developmental defects associated with aneuploidy. Unlike Mendelian inherited disease genes, aneuploidy is not due to disruptions in gene sequence rather it is due to changes in gene copy number. Until recently, we did not have the tools to determine the primary molecular defects in aneuplid individuals and studies necessary focused on secondary defects. However the development of human embryonic stem cells and more specifically the isolation of a human embryonic stem cell line containing three rather than the normal two copies of chromosome 13 now enables us to explore the primary defects associated with human aneuploidy. In this proposal we plan to use newly developed methods to explore global patterns of gene expression in normal and trisomic lines. In is our hope that these will provide a glimpse of the initial defects associated with human aneuploidy. If the primary defects are due to the misexpression of only one or two genes, this would offer the possibility of developing theurapetic drugs to compensate for the mis-expressed gene(s). In addition, we propose to explore strategies for rapidly establishing normal cell lines from the trisomic human embryonic stem cell line as a first step toward cell replacement therapy. .
Statement of Benefit to California:
This grant focuses on the primary molecular and cellular defects associated with trisomy 13, also known as Patau syndrome. Approximately 1 in 8,000 live births are trisomic for chromosome 13. Trisomy 13 together with trisomy 18 and 21 account for about 2 of every 1,000 live births and therefore classify as rare diseases. Approximately 25 million Americans (and between 2 and 3 million Californians) suffer from over 6,000 rare diseases for which there is no financial incentive for companies to develop drugs. In response, congress enacted the very successful Orphan drug act that has resulted in an over tenfold increase in the number of drugs targeting rare diseases. More recently, congress enacted The Rare Diseases Act of 2002 in order to produce NIH-sponsored centers of excellence for research on rare diseases. Three of these centers are in California(UCSF, UCLA, UCSD). Due to the severe restrictions on federally funded research with human embryonic stem cells, to my knowledge there is no institutional backing for the application of hESC technologies toward the study and treatment of rare diseases. Funding the project proposed in this grant would be the first step towards laying the groundwork for a general strategy for CIRM to apply their resources toward helping the millions of Californians afflicted by rare diseases.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: This application proposes to further our understanding of the effects of chromosome trisomy by studying the effect of trisomy 13 on mRNA and protein expression in human ES cells. In Aim 1 the applicant will use microarrays to determine the effect of trisomy 13 on the global pattern of gene expression in human ES cells and some of its differentiated descendants. In Aim 2 the applicant will use two dimensional gel electrophoresis to similarly examine patterns of protein expression. In Aim 3 the applicants propose to use markers of the diploid state, as determined in Aims 1 and 2, to devise sensitive methods for detecting rare diploid revertants of trisomic cells. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: Although aneuploidy is an important cause of human birth defects, the primary molecular consequences of trisomy in the early embryo are not understood. The experiments in this proposal are significant because they will offer the first look at the global effects of a specific form of aneuploidy, trisomy 13, on early embryonic cells. An intriguing, and innovative extension of this work is the proposal that it may be possible to identify molecular markers of the diploid state. These markers may be used to screen for rare diploid revertants among trisomic progenitor cells. It is suggested that diploid revertants, for example in hematopoeitic progenitors, may be useful therapeutically. Insight into the mechanism of initiation of aneuploidy would have profound effects on many fields of research, including cancer. STRENGTHS: This is an innovative proposal that has the potential to form the basis for an new, therapeutic use of human stem and progenitor cells. The applicant has identified collaborators to help with many of the technically challenging aspects of this work. WEAKNESSES: There are numerous weaknesses in this proposal: The applicant has no prior experience in essentially any aspect of the proposed work. He has no prior experience with stem cells, in analyzing gene expression by DNA microarrarys, or in studying global patterns of protein expression by two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Little thought has been given to what biological information might emerge from the proposed experiments, other than the trivial idea that the expression of some genes might be increased more than would be expected by the 1.5 fold increase in gene copy number. For example, what are the specific biological abnormalities in trisomy 13 individuals and how might these be expressed at the cellular level? Thus, what specific progenitor cell types might it be useful to examine, and what molecular pathways might be affected? There is considerable doubt that this approach will result in markers that will be sufficiently sensitive and specific to allow isolation of rare diploid revertants of triploid cells Also, not enough thought has been given to the potential therapeutic utility of diploid revertants derived from trisomic stem/progenitor cells. The applicant mentions only one possibility: the use of hematopoietic progenitors to treat leukemia associated with trisomy 21. However, the applicant does not consider the possibility that this is not completely a cell autonomous phenotype. For instance, could the stromal microenvironment be abnormal, and contribute to the increased incidence of leukemia? PI is only 11% committed to the project. It is stated that he will direct and assist in all aspects of the research. This allocation may not be sufficient. Letters of Support are missing. DISCUSSION: This proposal is innovative, but not thought to be feasible. The revertants will be rare and it is doubtful that the methods will allow detection and isolation of diploid revertants. How will diploid revertants be characterized? In addition, any of the three chromosomes could be lost - the trisomic one or one of the original ones, and not clear how this would be determined or what implications would be.

The McNay adds Remarkable Auguste Rodin Sculpture to Collection
Rodin's vanguard predilection for unconventional finish, expressive modeling, and movement secure him as one of the most influential and pivotal sculptors in the development of modern art. A special installation features Tête de Luxure in the entrance hall of the Main Collection Galleries.
Auguste Rodin's dynamic figures—epitomized by the McNay's Burghers of Calais (from the late 1890s)—contrast greatly with the static poses of Neoclassical sculpture that dominated 19th-century French salons. Rodin's Tête de Luxure (Head of Lust), a gift from Edward Molnar, joins the McNay collection as an exemplar of Rodin's expressive distortion, which led to further abstraction of the human form in 20th-century sculpture. Tête de Luxure was originally part of Rodin's monumental work The Gates of Hell. In 1880 the French Directorate of Fine Arts commissioned him to create a large portal for the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, decorated with sculpture inspired by Dante's Inferno from The Divine Comedy. Although Rodin never completed the doorway, he refined the sculptural program over a period of four decades and exhibited many of the figural components as distinct artworks. The McNay's bronze derives from The Crouching Woman (1880–82), a contorted figure who rests her head on her knee, and is one of several adaptations of the figure that Rodin created and had cast in editions. The head of the woman was detached and exhibited independently under its current title. As a result, the rounded surface of the front of her face provides a counterpoint to the angular faceting on the rear side where her head met her knee.

The McNay
Built by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay in the 1920s, the Spanish Colonial Revival-style residence opened as Texas's first museum of modern art in 1954. Today more than 100,000 visitors a year enjoy works by modern masters including Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In June 2008, the museum opened the 45,000-square-foot Jane and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibitions designed by internationally renowned French architect Jean-Paul Viguier. Nearly doubling the McNay's exhibition space, the Stieren Center includes three separate outdoor sculpture galleries.
Tuesday–Friday, 10 am–4 pm; Thursday, 10 am–9 pm;
Saturday, 10 am–5 pm; Sunday, noon–5 pm.
The McNay is closed on Mondays, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

A little off topic, but Roland here, disparages all critics of NYC's new sex-ed agenda as "crazies". That's mild compared to some of the ad-hominems he used in that opinion (hit) piece.
That's one way to lose an argument, Roland (and Martin Laugh-In -- Oops! I just dated myself!). Sure enough, it failed to convince me. Quite the opposite, actually. I've lost all measure of respect for him, if I had any to begin with.
I can't watch the video now, but I have every confidence that Mr. Bozell put Roland (and Martin Laugh-In) in his place.

Brent was on point and didn't waiver.
With the statement issued by one fo the woman's attorney, Joel P. Bennett, I am certain that this entire situation was a set up. What were the motives? For Obama supporters it was the political assasination of Herman Cain. For the attorney and his client it was MONEY.
Politico releases a story about allegations of sexual harassment from 12 years ago. Where did they get the information from since they say have have specifics? It was either from someone inside the National Restaurant Association (who generally lean GOP) or it was from one of the accusers.
The Politico article then become a media feeding frenzy forcing Cain to respond specifically and he does so without violating the terms of the confidentiality agreement (Lisa Weil of Fox is right and Mark Toobin of CNN is dead wrong). Cain never mentions who the woman is and no one would even have a hint who it might be.
Suddenly, and on cue, Politico parent company, Washington Post publishes a statement from one of the accuser's attorney, Joel P. Bennett, claiming that Cain breached that confidentiality agreement (which he did not) and demands that NRA release his client from the agreement so that she can air her side.
We now learn from her attorney that she is married and works for the Federal government. To date, this issue cannot have affected her since no one knows who she is.
So why risk the exposure? She was pursuaded by the political assassins and her ambulence-chasing attorney that she can make a lot of money by using this situation, or she had figured that out herself before Politico ever knew anything.

This attorney (and the Washington Post) is simply waiting for the NRA to answer. Whichever it is the response will be the same. This woman will go on the record with her name and these allegations. For $35,000 it will not be worth it for the NRA to go to court and claim the severance.
As I said this was a set-up from the outset by a fortune-seeking woman together with a political outfit (the Obama campaign) who have a long history of unearthing sealed legal cases to be used for political assasination (see Obama's U.S. Senate primary and general election campaigns).
The fact that this woman - who up to this point has all her privacy - has been persuaded to go for the MONEY reveals just how unethical and unstable she is.

Easier said than done, I know, but I'll bring it up: Brent did not come off as well on this segment IMO (vs. normal brilliant job). Angry looking (justified) and not at ease (ear thing causing problems). Liked the "what's the charge" points.
Also, very good point about the race aspect as to how liberals go after black conservatives. The other guys say what about the hate for Sharpton and Jackson (?), but no response was given back. Here is my hint, say MEDIA hate & attack on black conservatives! What MSM hate attacks are on Sharpton & Jackson? There are none! THEY promote Sharpton & Jackson & gave a pass on very bad stories they could still run now.
I would also fight back that UNJUST character assination CERTAINLY IS a form of lynching! When there is NO evidence, not even a specific charge, it is clearly meant to harm this black conservative (because being a black conservative is particularly treasonous in their MINDS.) So RACE IS indeed a factor & they ARE indeed trying to tighten a "noose" to ensare and hang him with. Is there really any question on this? NO!

Brent, you are absolutely correct on asking them to define the charge. But I think you dropped the ball when you replied that black conservatives are harassed more than white conservatives or black liberals.
It's absolutely true of course, and you have several examples on this site to back it up. Those specific examples should have been thrown into their faces, and let them try to explain why the black conservative was handled differently than the black liberals. simply saying it as fact wasn't enough. I know there's only so much time. It needs to be told when on CNN, not for the idiot talking head's sake but for the viewers who think Fox News is just a right wing crazy network and never expose themselves enough to other opinions.

John King: Corrupt tool of the Left
Submitted by Ted Clarke on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 12:41pm.
JOHN KING: This crisis could impact that [Cain's position as a leading Republican contender] in part because Cain's explanations have been inconsistent, in some cases, contradictory. At first, for example, he said he was not aware of any financial settlements with the two accusers....
A clip is shown of Mr. Cain clearly stating that he was not aware of any settlements.
JOHN KING: ....Within hours, though, he was discussing one of the cases, including the settlement, in great detail.
A second clip -- one that presumably provides an example of Cain contradicting himself -- makes no reference, at all, to anything in the first clip. King's "power of suggestion" simply creates the illusion that Cain had changed his story.
John King is like a transgendered person who FEELS like a man but is actually a woman. He FEELS like a journalist but he is actually a slimy, disgusting Leftist fraud.

Roland Martin mentions attacks on Rev(s) Jackson and Sharpton
Submitted by Gary Hall on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 1:35pm.
At the very tail end of this video, Roland Martin mentions attacks on Rev(s) Jackson and Sharpton "by conservatives."
OK - that's fair.
However, the comparison here is in the context of how our national MSM handles such issues. Did the same apply to candidate and President Obama? When did the national MSM go after Jackson or Sharpton?
The national MSM is out to destroy Herman Cain. It was predicted as soon as his poll numbers began to rise - as the MSM ruses to the forefront to shift their attacks to whoever is at the head of the pack, or rising in the polls. Before that it was Rick Perry. Before that it was Michelle Bachmann. Before that it was the preemptive strikes against Romney and Gingrich. If Cain is damaged, and one of the others begins to rise again, this same MSM will instantly be prepared to shift the attacks there.
While the MSM may occasionally find itself being backed into a corner putting out news reports on scandals on the left (Weiner - Clinton), it is few and far between that they dig in with such veracity as we see here - and in past issues involving Republicans - be they black or white - be there an actual story, or not. Besides, today - Corzine is not a Democrat - just a 1%.
Here's another one out there the national MSM is skipping, and I intend not to attempt to equate it to Abu Ghriab. The court martial trial has begun in the case of the US soldier involved in the "kill squads," in Afghanistan. The details are horrid. This soldier has already been convicted and sentenced to 24 years. Here's one account of the current news: U.S. soldier fights Afghan 'kill squad' court martial
Sure, one can find evidence that the news has appeared, peppered here and there in the national media - but there's a big difference; it's not common knowledge - there will be no national media shrill challenging the President of the United States, or the Defense Secretary, etc.
Why? Well, the president is a Democrat, first. And to top it off, he's an untouchable black president.
Obama won't even have to write in his memoirs about how shocked he was to see the pictures of the body parts cut off for war trophies. I mean does he even know about it?
Besides, Obama already wrote his memoir.

Martin's body language
Submitted by Alpha Tango on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 3:15pm.
Roland Martin's uncomfortable laughing with very animated head movements make him appear to be lying. He hates black conservatives more than he hates white conservatives. He is a leftist racist propaganda writer and that is all. John King has the same mental affliction as Martin.
Lately, liberalism is about class warfare, punishing successful people by taxing them more, throwing more money at programs proven to be failures, and killing more, mostly black, babies.
As for Herman Cain:
There are only a few nationally known black conservatives in America. They are personally attacked daily by the main stream media and liberals of all races. They are called stupid or Uncle Toms or sell-outs to their race. It is good to see another black man who is smart enough to see through the fraud and brave enough to talk about it. Almost all liberals are racists. Not surprisingly, black liberals are racist against their own race when a black man does not pledge his undying loyalty to liberalism.

The conservative women of days gone by in America
Submitted by lrgon on Wed, 11/02/2011 - 9:03pm.
spoke of a"man's world" and a place where women should not try to enter into or expect to pay the price. Well that advice of traditionally conservative women was not heeded. The loud mouths like Emma Goldman, Susan B. Anthony and Planned Parenthood Founder and radical eugenics supporter Margret Sanger dominated the women's clubs with talk of "feminist" equality and "liberation." But what these feminists were really advocating was an anti-family agenda and they contributed greatly to the misery of women.
These radical feminists like sanger and Goldman birthed the "liberation" of abortion and "equality." It never entered the mind of the feminists of that era that they were already superior to men so why bring themselves down to their level!
The work place today in the blue collar and corporate world is a never ending spiral of leachery and infidelity by both sexes and "feminism" has it fingerprints all over that picture.
Feminists want to live in a man's world but don't know how to handle it when weak men make lewd or sexually suggestive comments. If you are going to "dress to kill" in the workplace expect that you will.
The genie is out of the bottle and it won't be put back in anytime soon when once again women and men respect each others' worlds. I expect it never will but remember that America was headed in the right direction until the devil's conspiracy against the family took hold and conned the ladies into taking a bite out of the "equality" apple.

I just questioned when Irgon was talking about "weak men" in the workplace. Men are not weak, and are quite capable of controlling themselves sexually. To think otherwise is to believe what the muslim's believe and condemn women to burkas because of "weak" men.

"Big mouth don't make a big man." ---Wil Andersen
The feminist notion that "well-behaved women rarely make history" is a full of baloney as history is full of examples of well- behaved women changing the course of history. The world has no better example of a humble,loving woman; suffering without complaint than the Mother of God. In her quiet obedience she not only made history but changed it.
Luke 1:26-38
New International Version (NIV)
God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
"Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her.

A: Dark as the night. Head is thick, brown and full, taking forever to recede.
S: Some dark chocolate, some hops, some bourbon.
T: At first, comes off as extremely sweet, a little too sweet, perhaps. Almost like a glass of whiskey with some beer added. The aftertaste however turns slightly bitter with a touch of unsweetened chocolate.
EDIT: This thing is way too sweet for me. I was expecting something that tasted like biting into a hop plant, but I was wrong. I couldn't even come close to finishing this as the sweetness was too strong.
M: A little too thin for a brew this extreme. I would have preferred it to have a little more coarseness.
D: Easy to drink, but way too easy to go overboard with its' 10.5% ABV. It would be best to split it with someone.

Reviewed from notes on 9-18-10. Thanks for enjoying it with my, TCGoalie.
A: Pours not quite pitch black - there is a bit of a dark brown tinge to it. A medium well pour results in a tiny head that recedes oh so fast. The film that is left on top of the beer is mocha colored. The carbonation bubbles mosey at a snail's pace.
S: There are big flavors of mocha, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, backed by a strong oak and bourbon aroma, especially when swirled vigorously in my oversized wine glass. A roasted malt aroma is also present, but way in the background of the other smells.
T: This is on the sweet side for an Imperial Stout, headlined by the large dark chocolate and vanilla presence. The bourbon-oak flavor plays in my mouth for the length of the sip on the back of my tongue and the sides of my mouth. The finish is nicely dry and clean from the oak taste and maybe a little hop presence.
M: The brew leaves a solid medium feel on my mouth, maybe not quite as big as I would like and Imperial Stout to be. It certainly isn't a thin feel, but it is not coating and explosive, either. The finish is dry and puckering.
D: Very drinkable for the style. I found the taste quite pleasing and while this brew is not elite, it is very good.

On-tap 2009 vintage.
Dark brown, almost black in color with a creamy light brown head.
The nose is really soft with maple,chocolate cookies, vanilla, caramel, and an unmistakeable bourbon aroma.
The whiskey flavor dominates all the way through to the burn with vanilla and a cookieish fade. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy.
I thought this one has some of the better tasting bourbon barrel character, but if you don't like the taste of bourbon I can't see you liking this.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue I:
2007 Vintage
Aged in freshly emptied Jim Beam barrels. Slow churning brown bubbles form a thick, tall-seated crown of a head; lacing is creamy with a healthy stickage on the glass. The color is a shade or two from pitch black. Wow, killer aromas of fusel alcohol both from the beer and the barrel, more aromatic than harsh. A bit of charred malt and dark berry fruitiness in the nose as well. Smooth and slick on the palate, dry puckering and slightly bitty wood mouthfeel middle to end. Vanilla bean and faint booze with a hard-lined wood character to start. Sweetness peaks in the middle with that vanilla flavor and some deep caramel and burnt sugar complexities. Ghost fusel alcohol is clean but warming, a little hot perhaps. Hops are minimal and not part of the picture here. Wood flavors and dryness engulf the finish.
The dryness actually makes it more drinkable seeing as we wanted to take another sip sooner rather than later. The alcohol is there but never reaches too high. We are sure age will do this beer good, but drinking it now was a treat for sure.

This one is at the top of my list. It's a fine celebration brew but not for a night out. It's heavy. You need to be prepared to sit and really focus on it after dinner. Heavy malt notes. Excellent aroma and oaky undertones. You can drink it alone but you better not be needing to drive. A Thick creamy head with a nice finish.

A few months on this 2007 bomber now. Impressive packaging and box. Pours a deep brown body, almost opaque. Small beige head falls into some attractive patchy lace. Nice aroma features vanilla, bourbon, and some roasty notes of char and chocolate. A bit thin in the mouth for an impy stout. Medium carbonation levels. Taste is much like the aroma. Vanilla dominates. Subtle milk chocolate notes lend a prevailing sweetness, mingling well with the bourbon essence. Mild notes of bitter dark roast throughout. In the now vast pantheon of bourbon barrel imperial stouts there is nothing about this that stands out. A minor disappointment here from a brewery that has wowed me for the most part over the past two years.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is alcohol and chocolate with some oak and a little bit of smoke. The flavor is heavy on the chocolate and vanilla. You get some alcohol warming and the mouthfeel is very creamy, even though it is a little thinner than expected. For some reason when I drank this beer it reminded me of Black Xantus, but since I have not tasted them side-by-side I am not sure how accurate that is.

2010 vintage. Dark black in color with next to zero head. Smells of malt and bourbon, maybe a little maple in there. First sip was all bourbon, but as I drank the glass down i was able to get malt and some smoke. The bourbon is almost too overwhelming to catch much else as far as flavors. Mouth feel is bourbon, heavy bourbon. It keeps me waiting to catch more tastes as if finishes, but once again, all I catch is bourbon, and a nice dryness through the finish. Not so much bad, just bourbon overload. I am going to buy another bottle to age for 2 to 5 years hoping that the bourbon mellows some and I will be able to taste more of what the maker intended me to taste.

2007 vintage 750ml bottle.
Very dark brown with very light brown lacing. Nose is awesome, light boozy a bit of diactyl on the nose but it's not overpowering.
Taste is huge on the oak and wood, very sharp. Mouthfeel is very smooth and crisp. The light booze from the bourbon is ok and really just lubricates it down your throat and keeps the drinkability pretty high.

Dark black colored with just a smidgeon of light getting through when held up to a light. Brussels lacing. Nearly a half inch of khaki colored head with a few large bubbles of carbonation mixed in with what is otherwise a tightly knit head. Aroma is a luscious blend of fig, plum, black licorice, bourbon and roasted barley. The taste is a very compelling blend of sweetness along the lines of fig, black licorice, bourbon and plum. You then get the roasted barley component on the back of the palate along with the warmth of the alcohol and then it's right back to the sweet notes of fig, black licorice, bourbon and plum on the fade. The mouth is silky as well as a bit warming on the back of the palate. In summary:It's complicated, but in a good way.

More thanks to MasterSki for this 2007 vintage. Once again, the GTOM tasting glass is in my right hand.
Pours a blackish night with a nice, tan head.
Lots of vanilla, oak and a hint of bourbon.
I get chocolate off the bat with its buddy vanilla. And there's that bourbon! Still prevalent in the 2007 bottle. Sort of surprising there's still an alcohol burn.
Mouthfeel is silky creamy fantastic! I loved this more than I thought I would and was my favorite out of five killer stouts sampled at the CE release.

This beer pours a jet black color, with a tar like consistancy. It boasts a thick, fluffy, brown head that fades slowly, leaving many thick laces.
This beer has A sweet malty aroma. I detect some coffee and chocolate. It ias a subtle bourbon aroma. Some vanilla aroma is also present. It has a slightly nutty aroma as well, which surprises me.
This beer tastes much like it smells. It has a much more subtle bourbon flavor than I would have expected. The most dominate flavor is vanilla. It also has some coffee. Some chocolate is also presnet. It is quite good.
This beer is carbonated to perfection. It goes down smooth, leaving a vanilla and bourbon aftertaste.
This beer would not be the best session beer. It is very full bodied, and it is high in alcohol.
Overall: Thanks to karst for the great beer. I am splitting this bottle with a good friend on New Years Eve. Good beer and good company make for a great day.

Picked up a bottle at Hyvee in Columbia, MO.
Pours black with dark brown highlights and a one-finger brown head. The head recedes into a thin pancake on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of bourbon, roasted malts, vanilla, and dark chocolate with hints of molasses as the beer warms. The bourbon smells very nice.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Bourbon and roasted malt flavors up front are joined shortly by vanilla and light dark chocolate flavors that linger into a solidly bitter ending with a bit of alcohol burn.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is great. I could sip on two or three bottles of these for quite some time.
Overall this is just a tad better than the barleywine from the same series, but both are very well done beers. Worth a shot.

To the editor:
The elected officials packed Seabrook's Deliberative Session on Feb. 5 and zeroed out a popular measure to install dash cameras in all of Seabrook's police cruisers, which are quickly becoming standard nationwide for gathering evidence, catching criminals, deterring bad acts at pullovers and improving police accountability and public safety.
The same elected officials who are asking voters to approve over $57 million in expenditures on March 12, including the school warrant articles, have been telling voters that even $2,800 (about 18 cents per household) would be "too much for the taxpayers to bear."
Aspiring Selectman Paula Wood argued loudly that department heads should be allowed to run their department however they want, as though the taxpayers have no say in the matter. Selectman Aboul Kahn has repeated his mantra that no one else in town has told him about problems with any Seabrook officers. Many tell me that they've complained to him, to no avail. Only Selectman Kelly supported the idea in principle.
Career criminals avoid towns where homeowners are armed or police have cameras. Tempers flared that private citizens would bypass selectmen to ensure that police pullovers were recorded on audio and video, showing juries — and the public — how officers, citizens, criminals and even elected officials and their relatives are behaving during DUI stops.
To me, citizen's petitions are about values — who we are, what we're about as Americans. We the people recognized and attempted to address a problem that the elected officials will not. Does it raise a red flag when a police union and politicians prevent accountability, even taking away our right to vote on such a needed measure? What do they have to hide? Honest officers and citizens have nothing to fear from video.

Cardiff Council defends multi million pound investment
Cardiff Council's cabinet member for business has defended the city's multi million plans for the future of the capital. Russell Goodway said that the plans unveilled today would put Cardiff in a position that when the economy recovers would mean that the city can "take advantage of that growth."
The councillor said that "smart cities invest in infrastructure, invest in the training and skills of their populations so when businesses start to decide where they are going to locate they will go to those locations where there is an infrastructure that will support the development."

A 39 year old Albany man has been sentenced to serve 5 years in prison after being found guilty of false imprisonment and battery in trial Thursday.
Prosecutors say Olds attacked a woman in her home in February 2009, tying her to her bed with the intent of raping her.
Olds received a ten year total sentence, with the first five to be served completely in prison.
Prosecutors say Olds still faces pending charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated assault in the attack on another woman.

An exclusion is a set of two or more courses where both may not count towards the requirements of your degree. Students are not normally permitted to register in a course that excludes one that they currently hold, so this warning should not occur that often. However, under certain circumstances departments may authorize an over-ride of an exclusion and allow the student to register, on the understanding that both courses are not allowed to count. This can occur in cases where the student has changed Plans and needs the excluded course as a prerequisite.
If an exclusion warning appears, first check the course(s) that are excluded. Usually, the exclusion appears as "No more than 3.0 [or 6.0] units from [List of courses]". The extra courses are still being counted in the Program unit count extra electives must be taken to make up the deficiency. If both excluded courses also appear in the Plan requirements, you will have to use other courses to meet that requirement.
You may also wish to seek academic advice from your department or Student Services.

I was 19 years old and newly out of the closet — not entirely by choice — when I saw my first gay Pride parade. I had driven to D.C. for the weekend as I usually did to get away from my overly conservative southwestern Virginia college, and spent my Saturday night on the town enjoying the fact that I was grandfathered in under the city's new legal drinking age.
Ah, 1988.
Late the following morning I was sitting in the glass-enclosed patio area of Annie's for brunch with some older friends — at 19, pretty much all my friends were by definition older — when the Pride parade began its way down 17th Street. Since I was only recently out and, really, not that long off of the farm either, the parade seemed by turns both staid and exotic — political groups marching with placards alternating with drag queens riding atop limos.
Then the PFLAG contingent arrived, filled with the mothers and fathers who were proud enough of their gay and lesbian children that they would parade down the street in celebration. I felt an explosion of joy in my chest, mixed with a touch of sadness at my own distance from my parents. I caught a glimpse of a mother of a friend I had met recently. I jumped up from the table and ran out into the street, surprising her with a hug and a thank you.
It was a hug and a thank you I wanted to be able to give my own mother. I didn't know then that I would be able to do that in my family's own time, but I was on the way to making it happen.
Not a bad memory for a first-ever Pride. It came roaring back to mind once again while I was interviewing Chely Wright, when she talked about her first Pride parade in New York — still in the closet, she cried as she watched the PFLAG contingent march past. Judging from other interviews and conversations with both the famous and my friends, the reaction to one's first sighting of PFLAG in a parade is one of the more formative experiences for so many LGBT people.
It reminds me how much Pride is about telling ourselves what is possible.
I'll admit that the approach of Pride can be somewhat daunting — it is, after all, the busiest time of the year for those of us who work in and for the community. But each year, the same thing happens: I find myself at the parade and the festival, seeing my own community face-to-face, watching femme boys and butch girls, young twinks and grizzly daddies, assimilated gays and gender queers, all together and celebrating not only what we have achieved but what we know we will achieve.
Those are the moments when the weariness melts away.
I treasure the memory of my first Pride, although I don't long to experience it again through younger eyes — life at 42 offers just as many wonders to experience if you take the time to look for them. But I hold onto it because it told me what was possible. I hope in some small way I'm able to tell this year's first-time Pride celebrants the same.

NEW ALBANY, Ohio (AP) -- Shares of Abercrombie & Fitch are tumbling before the opening bell with the retailer saying that its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings and revenue will likely disappoint Wall Street.
The company, based in New Albany, Ohio, cited higher markdowns and increased cotton costs.
Abercrombie & Fitch said that was forced to slash prices to get consumers into its stores.
The company said Wednesday that it anticipates fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of about $1.10 to $1.15 per share. That's well below expectations of $1.55, according to a poll of analysts by FactSet.
Fourth-quarter revenue at stores open at least a year was flat, with weaker-than-expected U.S. sales.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. dropped 11 percent, or $5.26, to $41.57 in premarket trading. If shares open at that level, it would mark a 52-week low.

I've been using the technique of making a connection to a symbian application on the phone from a flash lite front end by using loadvariables() calls to 127.0.0.1. I embed the flash lite player in the application which is using an active object to run a small http server which receives these calls.
On the N81, the embedded flash application does not seem to be able to make these calls - there is no error I can see, but they are not received by the parent application. If I run swf files from the file manager, they are able to call the application, so it is running, and I have tested with a different timer active object that it is also running while in the foreground with the flash.
Has anyone else had experience with this or is anyone able to suggest a potential solution?

Presented at the 2006 Joining FORCEs Conference by Sue Friedman, DVM, Executive Director of FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered.
Advocacy by definition means, "To plead or argue in favor of a cause." To me, advocacy means making a difference. I outlined how people can get involved in advocacy: they can submit their personal stories to the media, help agencies decide which research projects to fund, volunteer for the FORCE Helpline, distribute educational brochures, and encourage elected officials to pass laws that benefit our community (for example, laws to prohibit genetic discrimination).
I emphasized that some advocacy groups believe our high-risk community is too small and insignificant to matter, and that too much money goes to hereditary cancer research. However, for so many reasons—because high-risk women tend to develop cancer at a younger age, because we are more likely to be diagnosed with multiple cancers, because our families carry more than an average risk for cancer and we can pass that risk onto our children—I expressed my belief that our community shoulders a disproportionate and unfair cancer burden. We are all stakeholders. It is up to us to advocate for more resources and research on hereditary cancer.

I found this .5 L brown bottle at the Binny's store in Plainfield, IL for just 99¢. No freshness date, but a good price for a half liter bottle.
The beer poured a cloudy straw yellow color with a minuscule white head, no retention, and no lacing. Not a good start.
The smell was interesting. Lemon, sour apples, and banana hit first followed by a whiff of wheat, some hay, and even some spices (mostly clove).
This is one of the worst tasting hefeweizens I have ever tasted. It's totally bland - not enough of anything. Very weak wheat malt base with a little (and I do mean little) citrus flavor, something sour, and that's about it.
Thin and watery mouthfeel with lots of carbonation.
I could barely finish this bottle much less have another. Avoid!

Bottling code of 24 , scored this at Davidson's
Pours a slightly hazed (clears nicely) & effervescent honey/golden with 2 fingers of eggshell colored head that holds a tight collar on the top my hefe glass. A bit of lacing & minimal head retention
S: Bubblegum, cloves & white pepper
T: Cloves, grainyness, juicyfruit & grassy up front. Crackery notes along with lemony hops as this warms. Finishes with cloves, a touch of dryness, apples, lemony hops & some tartness
MF: Medium bodied, juicy, with low carbonation
Drank very easy, a decent, not great hefe

2.48/5 rDev -16.5%
Cloudy yellow color with two fingers of head that quickly settled to a thick cap. A little bit of lacing is left on the glass.
Aroma of fruity esters. Not banana, not bubblegum, but strawberry and lemon.
This is one weird hefeweizen. Practically no qualities you expect in the style and this is from a German brewer. Fruity yeast esters mainly with a touch of lemon tartness. Tastes more like a pale ale than a hefeweizen.
Body lacks the chewy mouthfeel of a good hefeweizen. Another disappointment in this beer.
It drank quickly because of the thin body and light flavor. Will not waste by time or money on this beer again.

Served in a Hacker-Pshorr Weisse glass at Resi's Bierstube.
Dull gold, yellow orange in the light, muddied up with the yeast. Weak, flaccid head, never got more than 1/4" of foam. Sweet aroma, faint orange, lemon, dusty wheat, and a cidery characteristic.
Flavor was more citrusy, no clove, smooth wheaty body, lower carbonation with a bite on each quaff. A little bit dull, not much in the way of esters or clove. Needed a bit more finesse in the feel, not enough carbonation, and not smooth enough. One and done.

$2.69 for a 500 ml bottle at LaBodega in Riverside, CA; May 2008.
Pours a medium yellow-gold at the bottom of my Schneiderweisse hefe glass, trainsitioning to a darker muddy golden-brown at the upper end before being topped by a decent sized white head. The big bubbles quickly disappear, leaving a decent coating of tiny bubbles covering the beer. My sample has steady, solid, but not extreme, carbonation.
Aroma is as my wife says "it's a beer", but it's more than that. Clove and banana and bubblegum are all there as expected for the style, but generally light and faint, rather than strong and solid.
Flavor is yeasty pizza crust (with flour dust generously added), and a sharper ending that I wouldn't really call hoppy, but it gives it some balance. Lemony notes are there, but quite subdued.
Moderate bodied, and a relatively easy drinker on a warm summer afternoon, this one is decent, and I don't mind drinking it, but there are others I enjoy more.

Bottle from Gourmet Haus Staudt. Copper hued, turbid as per the style, with a small head that settles to a film. The aroma exhibits scents of apple and spice, citrus, banana, and, oddly, a bit of popcorn. Lightly sweet with a banana bread malt character. Taste is good if somewhat unexceptional for the style: citrusy with moderate banana sweetness, light spiciness, plenty of bready malt and a brief, semi-sweet finish. The body is a tad thin for the style, though not bad. A very enjoyable hefe, just not exceptional for the style.

Poured into a Franziskaner weisse beer glass. Not looking good.
Pours a chill hazy golden with a tiny spritzy head that disappears quicker than a homie on father's day.
Aroma of unfermented wort, grainy, no banana, no glove.
Flavor is of unfermented wort, sweet, grainy. I'm not event sure this is fermented. No pleasant.
Mouthfeel is medium spritzy.
Not drinkable at all. this one is a drain pour. How the hell can any brewer put this on the market? Do not bother trying.

Poured from a bottle into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a clear golden straw like color with just a little bit of white head that goes away completely.
Smell: There is a sweetness with some fruity/perfume like notes in there as well. None of the banana and spice you hope for.
Taste: This is a pretty boring beer. Some of the fruity notes from the smell, but quite watery. Nope.
Mouthfeel: Thin body with tingly carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: Not a drain poor, but nothing good about it either.

Pours with a straw golden color with no head or lace. Has moderate carbonation.
Smells more like cider than beer.
The taste of yeast and malt. Nothing much going on with the tatse. Overall, the taste is thin and boring.
Again, the mouthfeel is insipid. As for drinkability, I'm glad I bought one bottle.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a Weizen glass. Reviewed live.
A- Poured a two finger white head with very little retention. Some soapy lacing. Slightly cloudy orange color. Little watery looking for a Hefeweizen.
S- Grass, banana, wheat, cloves, brown sugar, soapy. Light and more muted smell than I am used to for a Hefe.
T- Woofah, this kicks strong with wheat and sugar and peters out way too early. Unbalanced beer, hits your tongue like a brick.
M- Water. Very wet feel because it feels so watered down.
O- Not a fan. Too bad because I love the style.

Had a 1pt. 0.9oz bottle
Appearance: A foggy pale yellow. High visual carbonation, but no head.
Smell: Like a juice. A sweet fruity scent, almost floral. Definitely a plus.
Taste: Like one of the best pies you have ever tasted. Sweet fruity tastes stay fresh on your lips.
Mouthfeel: Soda.
Overall: At first I was disappointed, visuals are unimpressive. But, after one smell i knew that this beer is rich in flavor. Flavor is sweet. I'm not a fan of sweet beers, but this beer I felt was beyond sweet beers. It feels more crafted like a wine. It feels like a sour wine mixed with malt to mask. Got me feeling good. Bring this shit to social gatherings, you'll be rolling Deutsch-Gangsta style but looking classy as royalty.

yeah, the head was a waste, just disappeared.
Looks like a pale hef, kinda sickly cloudy.

I'd like to see this next to the lambics

The aroma has some bananas (but not much), sour malt, coriander, yeast, and lemon. The appearance is hazy tan/gold with a two finger head. The flavor is rather average for the style. It has all the elements from the aroma but they are weak and the sour dominates. The beer turns herbal (with a hint of incense) in the finish. The palate is thin even for a wheat beer. Overall I was expecting more but it's certainly drinkable.

Banana, at the smell, even if the smell is quite light. Camomile flowers, yeast, breadcrust.
The taste is quite sweet, but not unpleasant, even if after a while it becomes a bit boring. No big defects in this beer, a standard weizen, quite drinkable.
Standard body, sweetish aftertaste.

(Calderas was open for a packed house on Valentine's Day. All four couples staying at the Bronze Antler Bed and Breakfast on February 14th enjoyed a romantic getaway Oregon style dinner at Calderas. Yum!)
Nancy Lincoln informed us that Calderas will be open:
- March 18th to May 18th, Thursday through Saturday, 10 am to 9 pm
- May 19th to September 13th, Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am to 10 pm
When you're wandering the Internet looking for a Wallowa Lake hotel or Joseph Oregon hotels (as some of our guests tell us they use these terms when they start their searches), hopefully you'll bump into other aspects of Joseph Oregon like Calderas and the Bronze Antler Bed and Breakfast!

The tallships are coming! The tallships are coming!
The Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain will sail back into Bodega Bay the afternoon of April 2 (winds allowing). The two tallships took the entire county by storm last year when they showed up for the 200th anniversary of Bodega Bay.
They will be back again and open to the public April 3-7. Rancho Bodega Historical Society is coordinating volunteers to "walk the plank", or escort groups down the docks at Spud Point to the ships, for public viewing. The public viewing times are Wednesday through Friday, 4 to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The public cab book a two-hour evening sail on April 3, 6 or 7, and there are three-hour "battle sails" on Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Last year crowds thronged the coast to watch the two vessels battle gracefully in full sail as they fired cannons at one another.
Tickets for the sails can be purchased online at historicalseaport.org.

Tomorrow night may be UFC 161, but boxing fans have another option for their combat sports fix. Saturday night, Bloody Elbow will present live fight coverage of Mikey Garcia vs. Juan Manuel Lopez, live on HBO. HBO Boxing After Dark: Garcia vs. Lopez airs this Saturday, June 15 live on HBO with a fight time of 10:45 p.m. ET. Bloody Elbow will have live fight coverage, including results and discussion.
It's tempting to look at this Garcia vs. Lopez fight as a classic clash of styles. You have the more aggressive, go for broke KO style of Juanma Lopez taking on the more conservative, measured attack of Garcia. And that's a fair assessment in many way. What it fails to take into account is the ability of Mikey Garcia to flip a switch, land a clean punch, and get the KO. While Lopez is more commonly thought of as a KO fighter, the two men actually have similarly high KO ratios (84%, 26 of 31 for Garcia; 91%, 30 of 33 for Lopez).
