T-Great smokey malt flavour with a generous hop kick to let you know that this is a Stone product! This is some very tasty stuff.
M-Medium heavy body with an amazing smoothness.
D-I really was impressed with how this beer held up after 5+ years. A great smoked porter that I wish I could get more of!

Didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. Tried this from a couple of different peoples bottles at winter storm on sunday. The beer was black and no light shone through. Not sure if the beer was just hazy or if it was supposed to be that dark, can't tell with aged beers. There was a tiny bit of foam but it was relaitvely uncarbonated. The foam that did appear was tan in color and thin.
The smell was very sweet for a porter. There was some nice dark fruits going on as well as plenty of roasted malts. For once the coffee smell didn't bother me as this one was balanced by the fruitiness as well as the sweetness. The flavor was real nice as well but it was a bit more aged (possibly past its peak) than the aroma. I found this kind of interesting. It was basically a milder version of the aroma. After each tasting the flavor grew on me more.
This is a very drinkable beer but I would recomend doing so over the next year or two as theres no telling what it's going to be like in a couple years.

Opened up a few of my treasures this week: this was high on the list. Gorgeous bottle, though I won't be grading that.
Pours a dark brown, with ruby highlights. Really attractive. The nose is exemplary. Roasted fruits, some coffee and chocolate, and a whiff of malts.
Still a fine tasting brew, it's clear that this may be a bit past its peak (the flavors, while still strong, have gone just a tad flat ... which makes me wonder how amazing this beer must have been a year or two ago). Roasted dark fruits, chocolate, and roasted coffee. One of the stronger flavored, and best tasting, porters I've ever had. Can't think of a better one off the top of my head, actually.
Could, and would, drink this every week. Sadly, it is now but a memory.

6th Anniversary Porter, Aug. 2002 - Sampled at just over 4 Years Old.
Served up in a 5 year chronological Vertical line-up of the 7th, 8th and 9th past Anniversary Stone brews throughout the next few days, before I sample the latest 10th Anniversary Stone offering.
Appearance: The silvery blue bottle design put me in mind of the Imperial Russian Stout, so what better glass to use than my IRS goblet. Black body on the desk but when held to a powerful desk lamp at night it revealed a rich deep mahogany body with deep chestnut with ruby hues and gemstone clarity. The head rises on the viscous pour. The carbonation is still here, producing a leathered tan head that tends to fade quickly but leaves a broken covering and a bubbled halo. Conditioning is very good and a gentle swirl soon reinstates a decent cap.
Nose: I recall past examples of the 6th always had an excellent nose, but after 4 years it is exemplary. Rich aromas, dark roasted coffee and darker chocolates mix with an aged Sherry and Port like alcoholic whiff that backs the complex nose. Some dark brandy soaked fruits add yet more depth. Crisp, peat laden smoked malts are still here and never seem to fade.
Taste: The bitterness has developed in the 6th, but it seamlessly merges with smoked malts, peat, dark fruits and a dry charcoal finish. Cinders punctuate the dark roasted coffee whilst a satisfying complex smokiness relaxes.
Mouthfeel: Thick feel with a rich consistency. Smooth conditioning. Like a black hole the depth in this is endless.
Drinkability: Effortless. A rich satisfying yet complex brew which is a classic late night sipper. Sadly it has a rather annoying quaffability, I know I should savor this one, but I just cant stop sinking this one.
Overall: Definitely my favorite of the Stone Anniversaries, even considering the much vaunted 5th IPA, sadly that one faded rather too quickly. The 6th Porter was, and still is, the one to beat for my money. And right now, it is still developing nicely though probably close to reaching a peak. Even so, with care, this could easily go another year with little effort I feel. A real Gem!!

Was very fortunate to try this last weekend at a homebrew party I attended. I've been dying to try it for quite some time but figured it a lost cause.
A: Pours almost jet black. A beautiful, creamy, long lasting head.
S: Big roasted/smoked smells. Charred oak and chocolate over load. Hints of coffee as well.
T: Wow. Possibly the best porter I've ever had, and that is saying a lot. I only wish I had more. Smoke, coffee, chocolate, maybe even roasted barley flavors, even though it doesn't fit the category. I would have killed to try this a couple years ago to see what 4 years of aging has done to it. Can't imagine it being better.
I could see why the Stone boys said this was one of, if not, their favorite beer they have brewed. They should definitely consider re-releasing this one. Much better than their standard smoked porter.

Appears a dark brown in the glass with a small tan head that left a couple of rings of lace around the glass. Roasted malts, some smokiness and a bit of chocolate covered dark fruits make up most of the aroma. Some alcohol is noticeable as well. The flavor also has a big roasty/smoky component over a nice dark chocolate. This is quite bitter and the hops are still alive in the flavor. Fruit notes are in the background. Very tasty. Good solid mouthfeel with a creamy fairly thick body. Easy drinking stuff for me as well. I would love to have a few bottles of this too bad I missed getting any when it came out. This held up fantastically over the last few years. Highly recommended. Thanks Ben.

Thanks to Skyhand for this bottle
Poured dark, depp red and brown with a dull light tan head that leaves some spots of lace on the pint.
Aroma is vinous, smkoy malt, roasted and some alcoholic tannins.
Flavor is strong smoky chocolate malt and some raisins with a resiny and gritty bittering. Excellent representation of style and great transitions of flavors.
Mouthfeel is sweet on the front end with a heavy roasted note and semi-floral and resined bitter note at the finish. Medium-bodied.
Drinkability is very solid. Well-blanced between chocloate and roasted notes with just the right of finish bittering. Stoen continues to amaze with their ability to produce such a broad array of beers that are all great.

This bottle was split b/w me, tikigodxxx, trbeer, and crjmellor the morning after the West Mich BA Gathering.
Aged 2 1/2 years. Pours black with purple hues around the sides and crimson on the bottom. My glass was lacking much of a head but some of the other glasses had a medium tan head. What head there was on mine faded quickly and there was no lacing.
I simply could not get enough of this aroma. Very bold, very complex, very,very good! Intense notes of alcohol mix with dark fruits leaving a portlike impression. Roasted coffee is there as well. Creamer, smoke, and maybe even wood.
The flavor almost matched up to the amazing aroma. Once again I'm getting a dark fruit sweetness akin to port or some kind of dessert wine. But the complexity, man oh man, roasted bittersweet chocolate and espresso evolve. Hops are almost non apparent, i think the aging might have something to do with that. Smoked barley seems to be the base of this beer and it really comes out in the finish. Alcohol is prevalent and very nice. Just intensity like I wouldn't believe a 2.5 year old porter could be.
Creamy mouthfeel and the sweetness coats my mouth. Robust as well. Smoke and alcohol kick add complexity. If anything is wrong with this beer though I was hoping for maybe a bit more liveliness in the body.
I tried to drink this slowly, but it was too good! I need more. Much thanks to Craig for providing this great beer.

I had this beer on tap at Stone Brewing Days at the Stuffed Sandwich, 8-31-04. The beer is served with a thick and creamy head. It was so thick and creamy that it looked like tan wipping cream on top of the beer. It was beautiful. The beer is a super dark brown. Very little light actually shows through ther beer to distinguish a color. It has a sweet and grape aroma. The flavor is full of caramel, grape, and roasted sugars. It is an excellent porter once aged 2 years.

Beer review #400 for me.
Appearance: The 6th Anniversary Porter pours a near-black inky darkness with only a miniscule amount of ruby highlights at the edge of the glass. Thick, long-lasting tan-colored head boils up initally, settles quickly to a thin layer yet manages to coat the glass nearly 100% as the glass emptied.
Smell: Aromas are enchanting. Hefty dose of chocolate, smoke, and toffee assails the nostrils. Freshly-brewed strong coffee notes as well. Amazing.
Taste: If the smell was great, the taste in mind-blowing. A simply fantastic combination of dark, bitter chocolate, toffee, coffee, "smoky campfire", roasted malts....everything combines into a symphony of flavor that was a joy to behold. Finishes with a sweet sugary bitterness that lasts and lasts, reminding you of what just crossed your palate.
Mouthfeel and Drinkability: Amazing how smooth a beer can be from a bottle. This one is like a big velvet Elvis painting shoved in your mouth. So very smooth and large in the body department. Quite low carbonation which adds to the creamy factor. The ABV is very subdued, making for a very easy-to-drink beer.
Gang...this is one kick-ass beer. A joy to experience. Huge thanks to the classy BA RoyalT for this gem. I am deeply indebted to him for all of the freat beers he has sent me so far.

This is one hell of a beer...pours black with ruby highlights...nice 1/4 inch light brown head...very nice peaty maltiness on the nose...mouthfeel is full. and creamy....hops bite you harder on the taste than on the nose...a nice dark cocoa/java flavor complemented by a subtle pea smokiness....starts on the maltiner side in the mouth but finishes dry and bitter..
Top notch effort here....but a bit tto much of a hop bite for a porter in my opinion...
A big thanks to the Bum (Long Beach style) for sending this to Hugey for me to try.

3.35/5 rDev -23.5%
Appearance: Deep brown with red highlights a full light brown rocky head and some residual lacing.
Aroma: Hops, malt, roasted grains, coffee and some wood (smoked?) background. Taste: Creamy sweetness with an intense hop finish. Coffee and roasted flavors come forth somewhere in the middle and finish.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, smooth, and oily with a biting finish. Lingering hop bitterness prevails.
IMHO: A beer with great qualities, but, alas, another over-hopped American take on a great European style

In many respects this is the most quintessential porter you could imagine. A veritable archetype for the genre, capable of defining the standard. It is black with a slight suggestion of black cherry color. Has a gentle tan head that lasts and a graceful, relaxed mouthfeel. The fragrance is somewhere between molasses and a good campfire.
The taste itself is so elegant and profound, I'm not going to waste language on it. All the usual adjectives sound cliche here except for the "bread-like" descriptive which applies.
This beer doesn't leap out at you and get in your face. It just sits there and commands an audience. Like a king. My only complaint is that you'll need a time machine to return to 2002 and get some more.

Many thanks to Hiro for this offering.
This is a smoked porter.
In my AKSmoked review, I said "Smoke, to Alaskan Brewing Co. is less a flavoring and more a fining; it denatures any off flavors and bring to the forefront everything complex in a porter (subtleties often lost to the night)." The same can be said of Stone's 6th Anniversary Porter, but the smoke is used here to bring the hops, instead of the malt, to the forefront. The malt character is wholly profound -- deep with espresso and cocoa with a touch of cream -- but the remarkable burnt hop notes that are balanced by the smoke make this beer a classic. The smoke is much more subtle than AK. To take the most aggressive elements of beer (hops, dark malt, and fucking SMOKE) and make a beer this well-integrated makes no sense. Light fusel alcohol on the nose. This is less a beer and more an achievement.
I will age my other sample and see how it matures; smoke does quite a job in aging beer. Think classic roasted porter; think imperial stout (mid-palate); think flash-barbeque and put it all in a glass: Stone 6th Anniversary Porter.
Relax, relax.

Appearance: Dark almost black, deep ruby brown tone with a nice sized tan moccha head leaves copious amounts of lacing around my Stone Imperial Russian Stout glass. Aroma: Toasted malts are good haven't had a nice strong Baltic porter in awhile, floral notes sit on top from some gentle hop dosages and nice fruit layer is in their to alcohol is barely evident blends together with the rest of the beer very well. Taste: I don't think Stone knows how to brew a bad beer, this has survived since August of 2002 without a problem dark chocolate soft fruit esters and alcohol are infused into a beautiful combonation of pure tastiness. Excellent beer that I'm sure will be re-released in the future, it's too solid to keep in the vault. Mouthfeel: Full to mediumb bodied porter with a nice smooth carbonation. Drinkability: I can't believe this beer is this drinkable finishes a bit dry with a dark chocolate alcohol tone but it's so nice keeps you wanting another sip to re-wet the palate, nice.

Appearance Nice, dark brown color with a big, tan, foaming head that went down slowly and laced the hell out of my Ruination glass.
Smell Big, giant, smokey roasted malt aroma with a huge hop balance. The dark cherry and tobacco come out as well, along with a bit of overripe apricot and a lot of brown sugar.
Taste The smoke flavor here is awesome. Its like eating a nicely-roasted steak. Behind that, the huge fruits and big malt flavors give this the classic Porter taste. I can also pick up some fine espresso beans and bitter coffee notes. This one has it all, and it all is done up just right.
Mouthfeel The smoothness of this ale is incredible. This is full-bodied for sure, but extremely creamy. Its amazing.
Drinkability I like the Stone Smoked Porter, but its kind of heavy on the smoke. When I drink this ale, which I rated a 4.5 overall, I find myself wishing for a little less smoke and more fruit. The 6th Anniversary is it big, giant fruit, smoked but not overly so, and creamy smooth to the point that its almost impossible to stop sucking down. This is unbelievable.
Comments I chose this as my 600th review because I knew that it would be special. This is easily one of the best bottles that I have opened to date. A huge, BA thanks to francisweizen for hooking me up with this exceptional ale. BA Buds are the best!

Served in the 22 oz. bomber. The color is dark brown, with a bubbly beige head. The smell is very chocolatey. The taste is a nice chocolate and anise, with a nice bitterness in the aftertaste, and the alcohol isn't noticable. Mouthfeel is nice and thick. Drinkability-wise, could have a few.
Thank you to HiroProtagonist for this trade...I never thought I was going to get my hands on a 6th Anniversary Porter. Fortunately, I was wrong! An enjoyable beer, and hopefully Greg will bring this one out again in the future.

Label says its from August 2002. My local beer supply still has a few dozen on a shelf, lucky for me!!!!. Poured into a Duvel tulip with virtually no head, just a little lacing. Color is nearly black, with ruby dark cherry coming through at the edges of the glass. Aromas are characteristic Stone smokeyness, maltiness, a tad of alchohol. Tastes like a classic Stone with smoke, chocolate, jerky-like meaty flavor, medium maltiness- lightly sweet, Alchohol is well hidden. Hoppyness pulls it all together tightly. Solid as a stone. Mouthfeel is full and velvety. This could very well be my favorite Stone and one of my favorite beers.

I'd been hoping to hang on to this bottle for a bit, but for some reason, it just felt right to crack this out tonight. Maybe I just needed an extra excuse for happiness...
Pours out a deep, dark black, utterly impenetrable, with only the slightest cracks seeping out slight ruby reddishness, with a big, blooming, luscious tan head.
Aroma: ah! there's that smokey factor, big, but not too, with cocoa and mocha character as well, very smooth, never a bit bitter at all.
Taste: repeats the aroma, smokey character is there, all the way, as well as porter-y qualities in abundant, but not overwhelming supply. Richly roasted, fully flavored, immense in body, very mellow and groovy, with the smoke sitting relaxedly, yet firmly in charge and on top of the palate. As we continue, it settles back, this smokiness, it hangs on the back porch, still wafting it's effect, but never harshly. After 16 months since the bottling this must be just the height of perfection. There can't be a thing wrong with this. Fullness, no harshness, yet with a unique flavor that never sticks you wrongly.
Have I said that yet?
Yum, and I'll say it again, yum-my.
I'm just gonna sit back and luxuriate in this one.
Oh, nice, nicety, niceness!
Large-sized thanks to Mr. LongBeachBum for delivering this magnificent ale into my possession!

I was lucky enough to find a bottle of this on ebay.com It was bottled in August of 2002 so it had already aged for a little over a year. This was extreamly tasty! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of having a Double Bastard right before I had this beer so I think my palate was somewhat shocked and numb.
This beer poured pitch black with a nice tan head that melted quickly into the liquid. Some small traces of lacing but a little too slippery....damn.
The aroma was intense. Huge chocolate hits the nose. Some smoke as well and a little bit of alcohol. Maybe some dark fruits in there as well. Nice...
This was one HUGE porter. The hops definately died down from the aging. This was the first tasting but it just seemed like the hops were not well pronounced but well hidden and balanced. Nice. Huge coffee flavor with some suddle chocolate and dark fruits. Alcohol was well hidden but still apparent. Very smooth and drinkable with a fantastic mouthfeel.
Sad that I only had one bottle. This was very very good!

This one pours dark black with a thick head and good retention. Aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate and vanilla. Smoke is way in the back. Full bodied and slightly syrupy. More like an Imperial Stout in my opinion. Very smooth and alcohol is well disguised by the roasty sweet malt. This is one heavy Porter bordering on a Stout. Has a slight bitter and dry finish.

Clear dark ruby red. Small creamy brown head that recedes very gradually. Lacing is intricate and web-like. Beautiful deep roasted malt tones on the nose. They are speckled with a light smokiness (that I assume was a bit heavier a year ago). Hop aromas seem to have that "West Coast" feel to them....pungent, citric....piney. The taste is marvelous as well. WOW! This is smooth and tasty. The roasted malt profile lays down a very sturdy foundation. Overatures of chocolate and dry cocoa are HUGE. The lingering bitterness is quite appealing. The smokiness is a little meaty, but quite delicate at this stage of the game. Hop bitterness and roasted bitterness blend to perfection. The mouthfeel is silky smooth. Body seems to check in at about medium. Man this is good. What I could do with a keg of this liquid gold.
LongBeachBum, you've done it again. You are the man! Thanks for sparing one of your last ones.

Dark black color, medium off white head. A BIG full-bodied porter, almost chewy. Roasted malts, chocolaty. Big chewy hoppiness. WOW whatta porter. Stone is usually over the top with their beers (this is NOT a bad thing) and this beer is no exception. Big and bold flavor with a very pronounced hop bite, yet it has a very smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. No alcohol bite, despite an 8.1% ABV. Etched beer bottle. Look very classy.

This is a pitch black beer with notes of deep brown. It pours with a dark brown head which is dense, creamy and pretty persistent. The aroma is one of malt, roasted malt with a bit of smoke and perhaps a hint of alcohol in the nose. There is a nice thick mouthfeel to this one, and it gently coats your entire mouth. The finish has a hint of alcohol. There is lots of smoky malt flavor in this beer as well. The roasted notes remind me of coffee. A bit of sweetness becomes evident as it warms up. This beer feels thick, almost oily on my tongue, the smoke only reinforces this perception. This 22 oz bottle is a meal unto itself. Overall a fairly solid beer, I like it.

MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled a new search feature on the world's biggest online social network.
Called "graph search," the new service lets users search their social connections for information about people, interests, photos and places. Until now, Facebook users were unable to search for friends who live in a certain town or like a particular movie. With the new feature, people can search for friends who, say, live in Boston who also like "Zero Dark Thirty".
Zuckerberg says the search feature is "privacy aware." That means users can only search for content that has been shared with them.
Video: Social media guru Jeff Moriarty with ImprovMedia.com explains the new feature.

GAINESVILLE -- After playing much of the season without a complete roster, Saturday's game against Alabama was supposed to feature a full-strength Florida team.
Forward Will Yeguete returned to action after missing six games following knee surgery, guard Michael Frazier returned from a concussion he suffered in a win against Arkansas on Feb. 23 and forward Casey Prather played with a bandage above his left eye after getting bloodied in the Gators' loss against Tennessee on Tuesday.
Things didn't go quite as planned.
Yeguete and Frazier barely made an impact and the Gators struggled against the Tide until Prather gave the team a boost late in the second half, allowing No. 8 Florida to outlast Alabama 64-52 on Saturday in the O'Connell Center.
"I was really, really disappointed in our team for a good portion of the game," UF coach Billy Donovan said. "Give Alabama credit. They came in really focused and ready to play. … I thought our team was emotionally drained. I thought we were exhausted. I thought we were distracted. I thought we became easily frustrated."
Combined, Frazier and Yeguete played just 18 minutes and picked up one rebound. Frazier missed the last two days of practice with back spasms and Yeguete was "absolutely petrified" to return to action on his surgically repaired knee, Donovan said. That, coupled with a noon tipoff time, led to what Donovan called a mixture of emotions that hampered Florida.
"People are saying, 'Oh, they're back, they're back,' — they're not back," Donovan said. "None of them are back. It's going to be a long process. … We were a step slow, but I give our guys a lot of credit that they didn't wilt. They battled and they fought and they found a way to win."
UF (23-5, 13-3 Southeastern Conference) was undefeated on its own court coming in but faced its largest home deficit of the season when Alabama (19-10, 11-5 SEC) took an 8-point lead with just more than 12 minutes to play. But Prather found center Patric Young for an alley-oop slam and then scored on a breakaway layup to cut the Tide's lead to four and cue the Gators' comeback.
Prather also came up big for Florida with four second-half free throws. He was perfect on four attempts at the stripe after making just 3 of 11 coming into Saturday. He finished just one rebound shy of a double-double with 10 points, nine rebounds and an assist.
The win gives Florida a two-game lead over Alabama and Kentucky in the race for the SEC regular-season title.
"He was the only guy that had a level of energy," Donovan said of Prather. "If he didn't play well, we probably would have had a hard time winning the game. … I thought Alabama outplayed us. They were more prepared than us."

The Village of Keeseville is at the crossroads.
The most important matter that Keeseville residents now face is the Oct. 22 vote on whether to dissolve or keep our historic village intact.
I ran for mayor to save and improve Keeseville — not to abet its destruction but help guide it to a better, brighter future.
The Board of Trustees and I, as Mayor, are unanimously opposed to dissolving our village. The village is more than one individual; it is an entire "community." Our community's needs are most important to us.
With the vote soon coming up on the plan to dissolve, village residents need to know the straight true facts, not the "maybes."
We feel that the plan is flawed for many reasons, some of which are because it does not use the costs that the towns will bear. The plan only uses the amounts that the village incurs.
A serious flaw is in salaries alone. Are the towns paying their employees at the same rate as the village? Are the costs of maintaining the village services going to be the same or more than the village government spends now? Will the response time to village problems or needs be the same? The answer to just these few questions is no.
We, as a village, now maintain direct control of all village needs and services. We control the water and sewer rates. We pledge to maintain a steady tax rate. We have control over village property and equipment bought with village money.
The officials that you elect live in your own community and work to preserve village funds, which will stay in the village instead of getting spread throughout the towns.
These officials can provide residents with help quickly and directly. If there is a village-specific problem, having the village government in place allows it to be addressed now as top priority, not later, behind other town priorities.

NASHVILLE (AP) - German automaker Volkswagen is flipping the on switch for a new solar park at its Tennessee assembly plant.
The 33-acre array has a capacity to produce more than 13 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. That's the equivalent of the amount of energy used by 1,200 homes in the Chattanooga area each year.
Volkswagen says the new solar park will meet about 12.5% of the plant's electricity needs during full production, and will power all of its operations during off-peak periods.
The solar park will be owned and operated by Silicon Ranch, a company run by former aids to ex-Gov. Phil Bredesen, who played a key role in persuading Volkswagen to select the site for the assembly plant.
VW will buy the power under a 20-year purchasing agreement.

NFL truth: Hip-hop culture hurting NFL
Jason Whitlock - Fox Sports
You get one NFL Truth today. Watching Chad Johnson and Larry Johnson undermine their respective head coaches, Marvin Lewis and Herm Edwards, on Sunday gave me a singular focus, forced me to contemplate an uncomfortable truth.
African-American football players caught up in the rebellion and buffoonery of hip hop culture have given NFL owners and coaches a justifiable reason to whiten their rosters. That will be the legacy left by Chad, Larry and Tank Johnson, Pacman Jones, Terrell Owens, Michael Vick and all the other football bojanglers.
In terms of opportunity for American-born black athletes, they're going to leave the game in far worse shape than they found it...Hip hop athletes are being rejected because they're not good for business and, most important, because they don't contribute to a consistent winning environment. Herm Edwards said it best: You play to win the game.Kentucky Vikes Fan
When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.

Re: NFL truth: Hip-hop culture hurting NFL
One more quick quote from the article, which summarizes his main point rather well.
Race is not the determining factor when it comes to having a good or bad attitude. Culture is.
Hip hop is the dominant culture for black youth. In general, music, especially hip hop music, is rebellious for no good reason other than to make money. Rappers and rockers are not trying to fix problems. They create problems for attention.
That philosophy, attitude and behavior go against everything football coaches stand for. They're in a constant battle to squash rebellion, dissent and second opinions from their players.
You know why Muhammad Ali is/was an icon? Because he rebelled against something meaningful and because he excelled in an individual sport. His rebellion didn't interfere with winning. Jim Brown, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, etc. rebelled with dignity and purpose.
What we're witnessing today are purposeless, selfish acts of buffoonery. Sensible people have grown tired of it. Football people are recognizing it doesn't contribute to a winning environment.

Re: NFL truth: Hip-hop culture hurting NFL
I can't say I disagree with the idea that American-born black NFL players who embrace the rebelliousness of "hip-hop culture" have made owners and coaches look elsewhere for talent. I don't know if that necessarily means that they are intentionally "whitening their rosters", but the majority of teams sure aren't going out of their way to sign rebellious rule-breakers, troublemakers or me-first type players in general (black or white).Even babies know the difference.

This guy brings up a few troublemaking players. There is about 3 percent of the players in the NFL who cause trouble, and that little three percent ruins the NFLs name and the rest of the NFL players names because of the ridiculous media attention they get. If the media didn't give them so much camera time to mouth off about their team, do you think they would do it? Darren Sharper was talking about this sometime last spring. He said that he and other good NFL players are offended by them. The media still is more in control of this type of thing then people realize. If the media was more decent about certain stuff they put out there, I think we could cut down this stuff. Would T.O mouth off about his coaches if it never got put on TV?
Hip hop isn't the reason for trouble makers in the NFL.
Thanks Josdin00 for the sig!

- Montego Bay shore excursion to Dunn's River Falls, with horseback riding
- Enjoy a countryside trail through the hills of St Ann
- See and climb the famous Dunn's River Falls, near Ocho Rios
- Complimentary port pick up and drop off included
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy: guaranteed on-time return to your ship
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
First, you'll enjoy a peaceful countryside trail ride through the lush hills of St Ann. After the ride, enjoy a relaxing hydration stop which includes fresh lemonade or water. You'll continue on to Dunn's River Falls next.
You don't want to miss a chance to see and climb Dunn's River Falls, one of Jamaica's favorite attractions and a true natural wonder. The 1,000-foot (300-meter) falls are often called a living phenomenon because they are continuously rebuilt from calcium carbonate and sodium deposits in the river. One of the only waterfalls in the world that actually empties directly into the sea, Dunn's River Falls was used for location footage in both the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail and the James Bond film Dr. No.
Of Dunn's River Falls' 1,000 feet, 600 (183 meters) are available for you to climb. The naturally chiseled steps give you stability, and the lagoons that form on the different "levels" give you places to cool off on your way up.
This fantastic Montego Bay shore excursion gives you the chance to see some of the best of Jamaica during the short time that you are in port.
Worry-free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your timely return to Montego Bay for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. See our terms and conditions for full details.
Customer Reviews
December 2012
Dunn's River Falls is beautiful and climbing it was mildly challenging, but very fun and an experience I will always remember and would repeat if I come back to Jamaica. The horseback riding portion was okay, but not as enjoyable as the falls. You might try the falls alone or with another activity.
September 2012
Dunns River Falls was brilliant but the transport was ridiculous - we were taken in a clamped out old car which we were told that the air con was broken so we had to have the windows open! Never saw any of the travel time (1hr 40 mins) my hair was all over my face with the wind blowing! After the brill walk up Dunns River Falls we were taken to a shack in the middle of nowhere for the horseback riding tour (the poor horses didn't look very healthy!) and taken through a forest passing through secluded areas passing an old factory where people were living in (shack) to a small beach which we went along for less than 5 mins! However our 2 horse guides were very nice and kindly videod our experience with our camcorder (taking a tip at the end). Overall the trip was good but would not book this tour again - I would only do Dunn's River Falls (but not with the tour operator Viator used) and would not go with the horseback riding tour again. This package needs to be reviewed! Very disappointed overall!

State Sen. Matt Smith is questioning how Gov. Tom Corbett's administration made the decision to hire a British company to run the Pennsylvania Lottery.
The first-term Democratic senator from Mt. Lebanon said a hearing with the Finance Committee helped to shed light on the decision-making process by the administration, but it "does not forgive the actions taken that effectively cut the public and specifically seniors out of the process" to select the private operator.
The Corbett administration last week issued a notice of award to Camelot Global Services, a British-based company, to manage the Pennsylvania Lottery. The governor's office has said privatizing the lottery will add billions to the state coffers to help its aging population.
But Smith, who now represents Upper St. Clair, called the decision a "risky scheme" and questioned the motivation of the governor.
"The administration's decision to outsource the management of the Pennsylvania Lottery is a risky scheme for Pennsylvania that seems to rely on several unsubstantiated claims," Smith said in a press release.
To shed more light on the deal, Alex Kovach, Camelot's managing director, and CEO Dianne Thompson, testified during Monday's hearing, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. They said their company would work to expand the lottery's revenue base by working to encourage more residents to buy tickets, according to the newspaper.
Smith said he is concerned about the transparency of the process and why the plans continued after the state received just one bidder. He also is unsure how plans to add more games, such as Keno, will affect state residents.
Most importantly, though, Smith said he wants more information about how the changes would affect senior programs that are funded through the lottery.
"There are many serious questions that remain about this proposal and how it will impact vital programs and issues of concern Pennsylvania seniors," Smith said. "After (Monday's) hearing, I remain unconvinced that our seniors programs will be protected and that is something we cannot afford to risk."

Police in Camden say they are looking for a man that grabbed an 11-year-old boy during an attempted abduction Friday night.
It happened at a park located in the 1200 block of Collings Avenue.
Camden Police say a kid threw a rock at the driver of a Jeep Cherokee. The driver then chased a group of kids out of the park, and grabbed the 11-year-old by the leg.
Investigators say the man tried to drag the boy back to his Jeep but he got away. The suspect then fled, only to be seen later that night by the boy's father. The father tried to chase after him but he got away.
Police say the suspect is a black male between 20 to 30 years old with a thin build. He weighs approximately 140 pounds and stands at 5'9 with brown eyes.
Investigators say he was driving an older grey Jeep Cherokee Loredo with Rhode Island plates and a partial tag of "QU10".
Anyone with information is asked to call Camden Police at 856.757.7420.

Charity fraud was a 'wicked deception'
A man who defrauded Conwy Council out of £125,000 has been sentenced to three years in prison. Christopher O'Neill set up a charity for North Wales war veterans called Forces for Good, then spent money he obtained for the project on his own lavish lifestyle, and a gambling habit.
Sentencing O'Neill at Caernarfon Crown Court this morning, Judge Niclas Parry said his crime was nothing other than "a sophisticated, high value scam, a wicked deception on the public purse to enrich yourself."
He said it was "frankly astounding" that the Welsh Government approved O'Neill's project without checking basic facts, adding that the case highlighted the importance of making checks when approving grants out of the public purse.A forfeiture and destruction order was also made on O'Neill's goods.

Full Report: Whitehaven joins the festival blues
There is huge disappointment in Whitehaven following the news that its popular festival will not go ahead next year.
The event, which attracts around a quarter of a million people, has grown into one of the biggest outdoor events in Cumbria.
The organisers say a series of other events will take place in the town instead.
It is the second festival this week though to announce it won't go ahead next year.
Watch Tim Backshall's full report below.

Cool shot.
That is some well rounded rock fer sure.
Nice shot!
Nice photo, but, where's the rope? I can see a bit of it going up from her harness but then it disappears. Photoshopped out???
It's probably sucked into the crack. Just above her, you have to kind of hump over a bulge.
That's 'cause it is photoshopped. The knot goes up to her shoulder and stops....
Yeah, now that I look closer you can see the rope, as well as the weird pixillation of where it was photochopped.
It might not be photoshopped. Check out this other TR photo of the same route. It looks like there is some sort of lip on the left side of the crack that can hide the rope. Great shot! The colors are incredible.

Lets face it. A mirrorless camera that respects legacy users. Olympus PEN (not OM) Nikon 1(Not F) Sony NEX (Not MAF) Samsung (Not K) Pentax Q (not K) if the canon can take a fully functional EF lens, even via an adaptor then it is ahead of everybody else (Sony get close, but no cigar)
That summarises what I'd like - I'm looking for something compact, that can act as a second body to a 5DII/III or 7D, and also is an option for traveling light, which I can mount on a gorillapod. My wishlist is: manual mode, RAW, connection for cable release, EF/EF-S adapter, compatibility with E-TTL II Speedlites. A GPS would be a nice-to-have feature. The lack of external controls is a little bit of a concern, but I can probably live with that - given that this camera would always play second fiddle to a DSLR. I'm still in two minds about the apparent lack of an optional EVF.
I have come to terms with the fact that the sensor will be no better than what the current crop of APS-C Canons can offer. I think Canon is holding back its new sensor technology.

Welcome to the Mount Laurel Schools!
Inspiring Potential. Enriching Futures.
A Very Important Note To All Of Our Parents
Parents, please note that our PowerSchool Portal is still in flux due to necessary changes and adjustments. At the moment it is closed to accommodate late enrollment and class schedules, particularly in the higher grades. The PowerSchool Portal will be open on the first day of school. Note also that students do not need to bring their schedules to the orientation sessions at Hartford and Harrington Schools.
Meanwhile, our LunchTime Portal has been opened and may be accessed to set-up lunch accounts and make deposits for the first week of school.
Thank you for understanding that the process which guides over 4,200 students into the appropriate seat for six hours a day over the next 180 days is comprehensive. While schedule changes can always be made throughout the year based on need, our administrators work very hard to place students appropriately based on a number of factors prior to the start of school.
speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can
multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue."
We are proud to welcome you to the Mount Laurel Township Schools' website. As a district, we have long recognized the World Wide Web as a valuable communications tool. In fact, our first site appeared in 1991, before commercialization of the medium began. A website's worth, however, is only as valuable as the information it shares.
Mount Laurel's Board of Education and Administration have established policies and procedures that dictate transparency in all aspects of our operation. You will find board of education meeting agendas, exhibits and minutes posted here each month. Our annual district budget, guides to the curriculum used in our programs and our complete district policy manual are also posted.
But, as Edward R. Murrow noted long before the advent of the Internet, misinformation often travels swiftly. We hope that our website opens the door to conversation with those who use it. If ever you come to this site to confirm information you have heard and are unable to find that validation, please use this link to contact us and pose the question directly. As partners in the education of the children of Mount Laurel, it is incumbent upon each of us to make intelligent use of the tools we have at our disposal.
Attention Parents: New Sports Physicals Procedures In Place
Dr. Rath Named Burlington County Superintendent of Year for 2015
An educator with 29 years of experience, Rath has been superintendent of Mount Laurel Schools since 2002. She has led the district's transformation to adhere with new standards and mandates at the state level, and has enhanced educational programs each year. Through her initiative with corporate partners, Mount Laurel has created Science, Technology, Engineering and Math programs in grades 5-8. Numerous technology advances, such as a $1 million laptop endeavor, have been completed under her direction and Mount Laurel students continue to exceed state and district factor group scores on standardized tests.
Rath graduated from West Chester State University with both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Art degrees. She received her Principal and Supervisor's Certification from Rowan University and a Doctorate in Education Administration from Widener University. She has undertaken post-doctorate studies at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University, and serves as an executive board member of the New Jersey School Development Council at Rutgers University.
Time for Summer Reading Lists!
Mount Laurel's Summer Reading Program includes suggested books for students in Grade 1-7. Students are encouraged to create a log of books read for discussion in class in the Fall. Please recognize that your child may select a book that is not on the suggested list that fits his or her individual interests and reading level. Should you have questions about the Summer Reading Program, please contact your school office, which will be open throughout the summer. The following letters to parents detail the program by grade level. The suggested list is also linked below.
Free Summer Math Program Offered To Our Families
Mount Laurel Schools have joined with TenMarks, an Amazon Company, to provide a summer math program at no cost to our families. Research shows that summer learning loss in Math is an issue that impacts all students, with students losing an average of 2-3 months of math comprehension every summer. TenMarks offers families a proven,scalable, online summer math program to reverse the summer learning loss and help students build a strong foundation in core math skills. Learn more about this exciting program here.
Extended Kindergarten Option Registration
The Board of Education has approved the Extended Kindergarten Option (EKO) Program for a September, 2014 start in the Mount Laurel Schools. Registration for the new program will be open on a first come, first serve basis. Registration forms are available here as well as at each of our school offices and at our Extended Day Care (EDC) offices. Completed registration forms must be mailed or hand-delivered to our EDC Office at 436 Masonville Road with the non-refundable registration fee of $75.
Please e-mail us with any particular questions you may have regarding this program and we will answer them here.

Board Meetings
There will be a Special Public Meeting on September 3 for the approval of the M.L.E.A. Agreement. The Board of Education's Work Session meeting for September will be held on September 16 and the Regular monthly meeting will be held on September 23 at the Hattie Britt Board of Education Offices, 330 Mount Laurel Road. These meetings are open to the public. The Board welcomes public participation in meetings, and you will find complete agendas and minutes on our webpage throughout the year.
As we move into the weeks of summer, we cannot completely dismiss the potential for learning. Make your child's experiences rich this summer, whether traveling or at home. Discuss! Debate! Question! Research! On this page, you will find a guide to Mount Laurel's Summer Reading Program, as well as information on a new Summer Math initiative that we have signed-on with this year. The TenMarks Summer Math Program has been offered to our families at no charge this year, and may help greatly with retention of Math knowledge.
So many of our students already take advantage of our many camp offerings here in the schools, that the Reading and Math Programs should definitely assure that no parent has to hear "I'm bored" over the next several weeks! (However, as the mother of two, I say that tongue-in-cheek. You will definitely still hear it.)
Enjoy! Travel safely! Can't wait for the new school year to start!

PEORIA, Ill. -- Hundreds of thousands of people are in the nation's capital this weekend to witness the second inauguration of President Obama.
One enthusiastic group is from Peoria, brought together by an adventurous businessman.
It started out as a simple thought by a well organized event planner, Cosmetologist Antwine Freeman, known for his attention to detail.
"I had an electoral party at my home with a bunch of friends, and that night after the election, we thought how nice it would be for us to be there for the inauguration," Freeman explained. "That's when I got my wheels in motion. I called the bus company. Then I called to see where I could get tickets to get into the actual inauguration and from that point, I began to get my database together and contact family, friends, colleagues, and people in the community, and it became a snowball effect and began to be an overwhelming situation."
Many of the 55 people taking the trip have traveled with Freeman before to Broadway productions, style shows, and comedy shows.
"We will entertain up and down the highway," said Freeman. "I have plenty of jokes. I have plenty of games, entertainment; again, this isn't my first rodeo. I have taken many, many bus trips, so therefore I know how to entertain those aboard."
After sightseeing and a personal guide through the metro system, Freeman's group will proudly stand in the nation's capitol to witness history.
"For President Obama to have ran and this is his second term, is more historical than we can ever imagine. So therefore, it means a lot to a lot of African Americans," said Freeman. "It means a lot to a lot of people, period, is the fact that we have broken down barriers that we thought we would never break down."
Those barriers began to break down during the civil rights movement, a movement led by a man whose holiday this year coincides with the inauguration.
Freeman said, "That was another thing that made it so great 'cause that was the commemoration of Doctor Martin Luther King, so that made this trip even more worthwhile."
It is a journey that is the stuff of dreams.

Head's up, Kamenashi sweat might fall on crowds during DREAM BOYS
KAT-TUN's Kazuya Kamenashi and the cast of stage show DREAM BOYS had their first full run through on September 2 and said they hope to have a injury-free season, reports News 24.
Kamenashi, Hey! Say! JUMP's Hikaru Yaotome, Kis-My-Ft2's Yuta Tamamori, Toshiya Miyata and Kento Senga will spend most of September performing the stage show, which has been performed by Johnny's talents since 2004. The coming of age story features songs, dance, flying acrobatics, and even boxing.
Afterwards, Kamenashi told reporters at the rehearsal he was happy there were not any problems during the rehearsal.
"It was my first time going through the whole show on stage. I was a little nervous."
It has been reported Kamenashi was not the only person who was nervous. The production team have been double checking all safety measures for their lead man ever since Japanese kabuki performer Somegoro Ichikawa had broken some bones after falling during his own stage performance.
"You have no idea what could happen so we're doing our best to keep an eye on things and I need to keep reminding myself that what I'm doing is dangerous. I hope Somegoro-san make it back on stage as soon as possible," Kamenashi said.
This DREAM BOYS season will feature flying acrobatics for the first time since 2010. The stunt was taken out of last year's season because frequent aftershocks from the March 11 Japan Earthquake had meant it was not safe enough to carry them out. It has been reported fans will get to see some new flying acrobatic sequences too, and Kamenashi said he can do them because his fans are there watching him.
"To be honest, today was the first time I've been able to pull off this stunt. It makes a huge difference when there are people in the seats, they give me confidence," he said.
It has been reported one reporter at yesterday's rehearsal noticed Kamenashi had the longest time in the air, and said to the Johnny's talent that "you're dropping 'Kame-jiru (referring to his sweat)'. Are you concerned some of it might fall on your fans?"
"I know. But I take a shower at least four times a day so don't worry," Kamenashi said.
Kamenashi also said he was looking forward to how fans would react to his performance with Yaotome, Tamamori, Miyata, and Senga this season.
"The five of us made this stage to bring out the best in us, and I think you'll be able to see different parts of it throughout the show."

Info on new KAT-TUN regular TV series and Kis-My-Ft2 TV special
KAT-TUNの世界一ダメな夜! (KAT-TUN Sekai-ichi dame na yoru!)
Following on the popular success of similar TV show specials broadcast at New Year's and in April, the show where KAT-TUN learn from the ダメ (dame, no) things in life will now become a regular 30-minute TV show from August 24.
The first episode will be a one hour special.
No flashy website yet, but here's the temporary one (or at least I hope it's temporary): http://www.tbs.co.jp/kat-tun_dameyoru/
To go to the Facebook page, go to the TBS テレビ KAT-TUNの世界一ダメな夜!
Kis-My BUSAIKU!?
Kis-My-Ft2 will have a go at their first variety special, which will air one hour specials on August 18 and September 1 on Fuji TV.
So why Busaiku? Because every since the group had made their debut in August last year, anti-fans and fans have been calling the group "busaiku (ugly)".
But not to worry, the boys have been quick to get over it and are determined as ever to convince everyone that they can be cool. In the show, the members will show off their cool side.
Comments from members on the TV show's website:
"Seeing the various personalities the members have was something very different to what we've done up to now. I think this is the first time Johnny's have done something so embarrassing. I hope you'll find a new side to Kis-My, and watch over us. Laugh all you want until it hurts!" (Hiromitsu Kitayama)
"This is a show where you'll be able to see each Kis-My member's personality and watch how they think. You'll even be able to see things the other members never knew about each other too! Happy members, shocked members, a lot of real reactions! I'd be so happy if you watch it!" (Wataru Yokoo)
"First of all, this title has a lot of impact! Who'd have thought of it. The concept is that each of us want to become a better guy from within, and it's a variety show where you watch us transform ourselves. There are so many embarrassing moments. I was even nervous while we were working on it. I hope you enjoy this new kind of variety show!" (Taisuke Fujigaya)
"When I first heard the title I was just like, 'what?'. I never thought anyone would put the word 'busaiku' after our group name. In fact, my first reaction was to look at myself in the mirror (laughs). To be honest, the shoot was so embarrassing, but I thought to myself that this would be the only chance I would get to act cool, so I put more into my coolness than I would in a concert or music show. I've never acted as cool as I did on that day in my entire life (laughs). The show's title and what actually goes on during the show are very different, and the one hour will be over in an instant. I hope you get to watch it." (Toshiya Miyata)
"It's a new kind of show, and all of us are being as serious as we can to get through a certain challenge. I think it'll make some hearts pound so I hope you get to watch it. I think you'll be able to enjoy a busaiku Kis-My and a not so busaiku Kis-my (laughs). None of us are laughing, we put everything into it, and I do what I think I should do, so it's a chance to see a new side of Kis-My." (Yuta Tamamori)
"This show has given me the chance to see what women notice about men, and what moves or lines women like men to say. I will do everything I can to become someone who women like, and of course someone who men admire." (Takashi Nikaido)
"I've never seen myself do these things, and there were some things I did that were more embarrassing than words can express. I don't think any other variety show has been able to show the real side of the people in it than this show. That is how real our reactions are, and I'm sure that everyone watching it will cringe just as much as us watching it in the studio. It's something different and I hope you all watch it!" (Kento Senga)
Taisuke Fujigaya on Beginners!
Interview with Kis-My-Ft2's Taisuke Fujigaya in Yomiuri Shimbun, published on July 30.
It must have been a long wait, but the 25-year-old Kis-My-Ft2 group member is in the middle of playing his first lead in a drama series. He was a late bloomer for a Johnny's talent, but that has not changed his attitude.
"I always wanted to try a lead role. How different is it. There's so much I want to learn," Fujigaya said.
Fujigaya's character in Beginners! wants become a police officer because his father was one. The Johnny's talent said he brings things about his own relationship with his father into his character.
"My parents have done so much for me. My dad's a quiet person, but when I was going through a tough time thinking about my future, he was there for me. I was so happy when he came to my concert."
Q&A with questions sent in by fans:
Q: How do you remember you lines?
A: When I'm at home, usually in the bath. I'll imagine the scene and take my time going over lines.
Q: What kind of character would you like to try?
A: Something like 10 episodes of the love story from the first episode. I want to try so many characters.
Q: What job would you be doing if you weren't doing this one?
A: I love kids so I might've become a kindergarten teacher or a worker at Disneyland.
Q: What's the best thing a fan has told you?
A: Things like, "you gave me support", or, "you gave me motivation". Knowing that what we do makes someone happy makes me happy too.

"John Searles has a new book coming out called Help for the Haunted, which is fantastic. It's about a pair of sisters whose parents help people who believe they're haunted by some kind of spirit. It is just great and unique. The characters are not anything you've ever seen before. He doesn't write fiction often, but when he does, he knocks it out of the park."
