This is a decent pale lager.
Gold, it has a medium-big white head soon thins.
Aroma is grain, grass, apple skin, very light.
Taste is lightly zesty grass, apple skin, grain up front, sweeter grain-light white bread - following. It has a somewhat nice, zesty finish. A bit thin and soapy,especially when warm. It's a decently good, solid pale lager but thin and a bit rough, very basic.

3/5 rDev -0.3%
Appearance: Clear medium golden in color with a faint haze, and a fairly large, dense and persistent white head. Small bubbles ascend to the surface in columns. The lacing is thick and scattered.
Aroma: Clean pale malt, moderate hops which seem almost noble in type, and some mineral notes.
Taste: Opens with crisp pale malt, followed by somewhat bitter, metallic hops. As the taste progresses, the hops hold sway over the malt, although not overpoweringly so. This seems slightly unusual for an American Adjunct Lager, although not unpleasant in any sense. Finishes with a touch of malt sweetness and a lingering metallic hop note.
Mouth feel: Smooth and fairly soft, with a hint of sharp carbonation.
Drinkability/notes: For the price, its hard to complain, and in my opinion, it is as good or better than the American Adjunct Lager offerings from Bud, Miller, and Coors.
Presentation: Packaged in a twelve-ounce pop-top aluminum can, served in a standard pint Pilsener glass.
Source: Purchased at Whole Foods in Texas in January of 2014 for $3.99/six-pack plus tax.

12 oz Can.
Aggressive side pour into a tulip.
A: Crystal clear light gold color. Well carbonated. Almost no head. Disappeared fast. Very little lacing and very oily.
S: Barely smells like beer. Corn and a little bit of hops. That's about it.
T: Not bad. Decent tasting actually for what it is. Decently balanced.
M: Just a little bite from the carbonation. Smooth.
O: Not bad for a basic adjunct lager. Price point is right at $3.99 for a six-pack. Yes... only $3.99. Just a basic American lager. It is so light, I can hardly imagine the Goldmine Light. Nothing offensive or off tasting so decent. I would call it Just-A-Beer. Certainly drinkable and chugable. LOL! Its a beer bong beer.

2.93/5 rDev -2.7%
A: Pours a crystal clear pale to medium yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of visible carbonation and faint notes of golden yellow. The beer has a half finger tall fizzy bright white head that quickly reduces to a small patch of very thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of grainy malts with corn and rice adjuncts. Light hints of grassy hops.
T: Upfront there is a moderate to strong flavor of grainy malts with mostly corn and some rice adjuncts. Light amounts of grassy hops which impart a light to moderate bitterness which lingers.
M: Light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation.
O: Easy to drink and went really well with the Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs and Low Country Boil at the cookout, did not compete with the flavors of the food. Nothing really special about this one that makes me want to purchase it again but not offensive as some beers in the style can be.

This beer in a nutshell? Cheap and drinkable.
Its clear and light gold. Lacing is very thin.
Smell...is off. It has a little bit of a sweetness, and a little...hint of metallic.
Taste is fine. Its not too bitter, mostly a corn-y sweetness but not off-putting. Its thin enough to chug and clean enough to like. Almost like an adjunct of an adjunct.
Overall you get what you pay for: if you're on a budget, $3 isn't the worst you could pay. If you're looking for a couple casual drinks to share, this works fine. But for a party? I say spend a little more and get your money worth.

Picked this up for $2.99 a six pack at Whole Foods. 12 fl oz aluminum can served into an Oskar Blues pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Expectations are low. Label is a generic yellow and red. "Brewed by Gold Mine Brews, Rochester, NY." I don't see an ABV anywhere on the can.
Served straight from the fridge - as I think this style always should be. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a three finger off-white colour thin head of no real cream. Retention is average (~2 minutes) generally, though a bit lackluster considering the low ABV. No lacing at all as the head recedes. Body colour is a pale light yellow; looks watery. It's littered with carbonation bubbles, indicating overcarbonation. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Overall, it's thin and pathetic looking. I've seen other beers in the style with more colouration and appeal. This isn't great.
Sm: Clean barley with some stale character, generic pale malts, and light artificial lemon zest. It's not what I'd call fresh, but it doesn't come off old. No yeast is detectable. I don't detect any alcohol or heat. Light clean corn rounds out the adjunct; I don't get rice. A hint of artificial fruit sweetness; maybe it's just the sugary lemon. I get some buried light generic floral hopping; there's little depth there but it's detectable. It doesn't come off watery. I don't know that it's a balanced aroma, but it's generally pleasant for a beer lover like me. Nothing sticks out as particularly egregious other than the staleness. A mild strength aroma.
T: Clean corn and crisp barley, with clean palt malts in the late second act continuing into the third act, joined by a light (and I mean light) generic floral hop character. What I love about it is that it doesn't lack body like many beers in the style; this is not as watery as your mainstream offerings like Bud or Coors. There's little flavour here, but it's balanced. Even lightly buttery, reminding me of Trader Joe's Simpler Times lager. Both are good budget beers. I think for the style they could do far worse here. A bit of crystal malt comes through; maybe more would lend it more complexity. As it is, there's no subtlety or complexity, but the balance is notable. Do I like it? Sure. Why not. But it's rather average. What can I say? I love beer.
Mf: Crisp and soft, with slight overcarbonation. Good thickness and body. Poor palate presence. Nicely wet. I'd stop short of calling it refreshing, but it'll reduce your thirst.
Dr: Aside from a bit of a stale barley character, it's not bad for the style. I think many will come down hard on it merely because it's an adjunct lager, but I do think it's one of the better ones I've had. People like to call these lawnmower or BBQ beers and I think this fits the bill at 50 cents a can. I'd definitely grab this over more mainstream offerings. You could do far worse. This might be a good beer if you're trying to ease a macro lager drinker towards craft beer; maybe after this you could make the jump to Allagash White and then Blue Moon? In any case, it has its place and I have nothing against it. I love the price point. Very drinkable; I could kill a pitcher of this with the lads over some wings. That said, I won't be getting this again.

Deutsche Bank Proclaims Currencies Are Worthless!: Opinion
VANCOUVER (Silver Gold Bull) -- Regular readers know that I have very little tolerance for bankers talking out of both sides of their mouths. So when I saw yet another piece of blatant banker double-talk from Deutsche Bank (DB), I wasn't about to let it pass without comment.
In "The Implication of Currency Dilution", I explained the dynamics of the concept of dilution.
When a bar waters down its booze, the value of the liquor declines. When a lemonade stand waters down its lemonade, the lemonade is worth less. When a company prints shares (i.e. "dilutes" its share structure), the value of the shares decreases. When we "dilute" our gold from more-pure 24 karat gold to less-pure 10 karat gold, the gold is worth less.
Indeed, in our entire realm of human commerce we are currently told that there is only one good that does not become worth less as it is diluted: the paper currencies of Western bankers. As a tautology of logic, the only good that does not automatically decline in value when it is diluted is a good that was already worthless before the dilution commenced.Hence, when some talking head from Deutsche Bank muses that "QE3 might do more harm than good for gold," it directly and unambiguously implies the bankers' paper currencies are already worthless. It's interesting to note the dramatically different tune these bankers are now singing from little more than three years ago. When the bankers first proposed quantitative easing, it represented a form of monetary insanity never before attempted by our species in even its most extreme hours of financial desperation. Why had no other bankers ever before engaged in such appalling monetary recklessness? For the answer to that, we need only remind ourselves of the primary reason the bankers gave us for the first batch of QE: They wanted to deliberately create inflation (i.e. destroy the value of our currencies) because they were "worried" we might have a mild deflation in our economies. Why were these bankers universally terrified of even the mildest deflation taking hold in our economies? Because the $1.5 quadrillion or so in ultra-leveraged Ponzi schemes being operated by this banking cabal would implode completely in any extended episode of deflation.

RITE+Krug: A Combination of Usability Test Methods for Agile Design
Jennifer (Jen) McGinn and Ana Ramírez Chang
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2013, pp. 61 - 68
Article Contents
The Krug Method
Central to the usability test method developed by Steve Krug (2006, 2010; referred to here as the Krug method) are the notions that some usability testing is better than none and that "testing one user early in the project is better than testing 50 near the end" (Krug, 2006, p.134).
Another tenet of the Krug method is that the testing be quick, so that stakeholders don't have to commit days or weeks of time. The Krug method can be conducted and completed in a single day by using only three or four participants and replacing a formal report with a 1-hour debrief meeting shortly after the last participant has concluded their session (Krug, 2010).
As a result, instead of taking a week or two to produce and deliver a report, the practitioner leads a discussion on the observations in the test and asks stakeholders to document the changes that they'll make. And then the debrief meeting concludes (Krug, 2010). The practitioner spends no more than 30 minutes documenting the changes that will be made, sends it out, and it's over. Not only can the usability practitioner move on to the next research study, but the design and/or development team can make changes immediately without having to wait weeks for a formal report as can be the case with a traditional study.

WARREN - On any given day Elizabeth "Liz" Cole-Clark attends more meetings and events than some people do in a week - even a month.
Recently the Warren woman, a retired school teacher, started her day early at a Trumbull 100 meeting. By lunch she had attended another event and was planning her next stop.
"There are days I go and go and go," she said. "Actually, that's most days. I always have someplace to be, something to do."

"No matter what happens in life you have to keep going. You have to keep moving. You have to keep living. If your mind stops, you stop. You have to keep your brain alive so it keeps you alive."
— Elizabeth Cole-Clark
From early in her career Cole-Clark has made it a lifestyle to join in, to participate, to encourage and to lead. For many years she taught history for Howland School District. She continues educating the public by lecturing on various subjects at schools and community events.
"I've been teaching all of my life," she said. "It's what I do and a big part of who I am."
This past year, Cole-Clark drafted and received a grant from the Raymond Wean Foundation to, among other goals, teach area fourth- and fifth-graders Warren history. She started a docent training program for the Henry Bishop Perkins Mansion in Warren, which now serves as City Hall. She schedules various events including the Victorian Walk along Millionaire's Row and Storytime with Mrs. Claus at the Upton House. Through her active membership in the Upton Association she promoted the importance of Harriet Taylor Upton in the fight for women's rights, leading to the establishment of the "Women's Park" on Mahoning Avenue.
Fact Box
NAME: Elizabeth "Liz" Cole-Clark
COMMUNITY: Warren
ORGANIZATIONS: Executive Board of the Trumbull 100, Community Development Block Grant, City of Warren Citizens Advisory Committee, the Trumbull Town Hall and the Uptown Association, among others.
Ginnie Baran, a good friend and co-volunteer, said Cole-Clark has spent countless hours stuffing envelopes, folding brochures, greeting people, handing out programs, selecting speakers for events and planning activities.
"The thing about Liz is that she never stops," commented Baran, Trumbull Town Hall chairperson. "I've known her for years and she's a remarkable woman. She's committed to the community and encourages others to also become involved. I've said it before and I'll continue saying it: She really is like the Energizer Bunny. She never stops."
Clark has been honored by Ohio Magazine and won the Valley Legacy Award. She travels to Hillsboro College in Michigan to attend seminars on history. She also attends Christ Episcopal Church, where she has taught Sunday school and taken youth on domestic mission trips. She said her immediate goal is to encourage people to get involved their communities.
"You can try, but you can't do it all yourself," she said. "I should know that. It's important to encourage others to get involved, especially retired people. We all need to be involved, to have something we care about, a cause. It keeps you going. It keeps you thinking and living. Giving of yourself and your time is a very gratifying thing to do."
Clark said she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. She said like everyone, she has had her ups and downs, her trials and tribulations.
"No matter what happens in life you have to keep going," she said. "You have to keep moving. You have to keep living. If your mind stops, you stop. You have to keep your brain alive so it keeps you alive."

Shawn Carter was born on December 4, 1969. He was brought up on the mean streets in the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, New York. During a difficult childhood he was part time rapper and full time hustler. Carter�s father abandoned the family before he became a teenager. The fledgling rapper was known as "Jazzy" which he modified into Jay-Z. Other names that he went by later in his career were the Jiggaman, HOV and Hova. After his father�s departure Jay-Z took solace in his rap on the streets, he used the money from his hustling to fund his rap career.
One of Jay-Z�s closest friends was Christopher Wallace, who was later known as the Notorious B.I.G. Jay-Z had the magical ability to create an entire track without writing it down even once. While he tests out a few sample tunes the lyrics just flow from the top of his head. Jay-Z had heard a lot of stories how record companies exploited young rappers with talent. The fruits of their hard work were enjoyed by the company. The rapper needed the company to give him his first break because he did not have the funds to manage the studio costs.
Jay-Z wanted to avoid this situation. In an unprecedented move he formed his own company along with fellow street pals Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke. He wanted to cut out the middleman who would drain the profits; Roc-a-Fella Records was created. Jay-Z struck a deal with Priority Records for the distribution of his album. It is testimony of his systematic method of functioning that he managed all this before he released his first album.
Jay-Z was all set to release his first album called "Reasonable Doubt." The album was a hit with the critics and had a gold single but it did not have much of an impression with the masses. There was a risk that Jay-Z�s high risk and high reward strategy would not pay off. It was Jay-Z�s third album, Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life that catapulted him into the mainstream of rap. Strike when the iron is hot. Jay-Z embarked on a large-scale arena tour, elevating his popularity to dizzying heights. Another factor that perversely helped Jay-Z were the killings of Tupac Shakur and his friend the Notorious B.I.G. These two were the rap superstars of the time and their deaths left Jay-Z as the numero uno rapper on the east coast.
In the next five years Jay-Z sold more than ten million records. He had more songs on the radio than any contemporary rapper. Jay-Z has scored a number of hits over the years, they include, "The Originator's," "Streets Is Watching," "Can I Get Open," "Ain't No N**a," "You Must Love Me," "Can't Knock the Hustle" and "Feelin It." Anyone in the forefront of the rap world spawns millions of fans. Jay-Z had become a cultural symbol for millions of people. The one way of taking advantage of this phenomenon was to expand.
Roc-A-Fella Films Have released films such as "Streets is Watching", "Backstage" and "State Property". Three feature films - Paid in Full, Paper Soldiers and Death of a Dynasty are on the anvil. Jay-Z started his own clothing line called Rocawear in 1999. Rocawear grossed $150 million in 2001. This is a global initiative with outlets in Europe, Japan and Canada. It carries loungewear, hats and belts for men, women and children. Roc-a-fella distributed Armadale Premium, a two grain, triple distilled Scottish vodka. He opened the 40/40 Club Elite sports bar in New York City. Another first to Jay-Z�s name is endorsement of Reebok shoes. The S. Carter shoe collection marks the first time a non-athlete ever had a signature shoe.
Jay-Z has encouraged many of his prot�g�s who have gone on to make a big name for themselves. He has sold more than seventeen million albums. Jay-Z has undertaken many philanthropic activities in New York City. The Team Roc charitable organization helps underprivileged children in the city. Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund pays for the college tuition of deserving Marcy area high school students. During the annual Jay-Z Santa Claus Toy Drive, Jay-Z provides toys to children of the Marcy projects area in Brooklyn.
Jay-Z won the 2001 Grammy award for Best Rap Album - "Vol.3. Life And Times of S. Carter and the Best Rap Performance by Duo or Group - "Big Pimpin" He won the 1999 Best Rap Video for "Can I Get A�"

It was the third significant milestone reached by a big-league player this season.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My save the date turned out beautiful! The shimmer paper added a really nice detail to the already amazing product! The product is high quality and I would definitely recommend this product to everyone!"
"The Precocious Penguin Save the Dates (in black) were a big hit with our guests and a fun and whimsical way to share our happy wedding date news! Would be fun for wedding paper divas to expand the Precious Penguins pattern to other card/invitation types (i.e. thank yous, rehearsal dinner/shower invites, etc.)"
"I ordered these Save the Dates and am extremely pleased. They have such a unique look to them, which I love. They look nothing like any of the other Save the Dates on my fridge, that I received. I do wish they came in magnets however, they are still great. If you're looking for a Save the Date that will stand out amongst the rest, this is a great choice."
"The cards were incredibly easy to customize and I loved the selection offered. I live in the UK now, so it was key for me to have fast and reliable international delivery, which is exactly what I got. I was stunned at how quickly the cards came and was impressed by the quality, especially given what a great price they were. Will definitely use them again to order Thank You cards and will recommend to all my friends."
"I love everything about my Save the Date for my wedding on Aug. 23, 2014! The quality of the paper is perfect & our picture came out so nice! I initially ordered 65 and now I am placing another order for some more because of all the compliments we received. I will definitely be using them again for other occasions!"

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalThe success of Stieg Larsson's 'Millennium' trilogy films and novels is definitely bittersweet. The author never lived to see 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and his other works come to life on screen -- or to see himself achieve the title of best-selling author -- before he died of a heart attack at only 50-years-old. His long time companion Eva Gabrielsson has been battling with Larsson's family over the rights to control his work. Larsson's will left her with no legal claim to the inheritance because the couple were never married and Swedish law doesn't recognize common-law unions. Now, Gabrielsson is in possession of a laptop containing an unpublished manuscript which has recently been confirmed by the Larsson family to be the fifth book in the Milennium series, not the fourth as had previously been suggested.
Larsson's brother Joakim spoke to CBS Sunday. "I got an e-mail from Stieg 10 days before he died, where he said that book four is nearly finished," he said. "To make it more complicated, this book No. 4 -- that's book No. 5, because he thought that was more fun to write." The author intended to complete a series of ten books, which have been rumored to exist in various forms since his death, but the truth surrounding the remaining manuscripts has been as shrouded in mystery as some of Larsson's plots.
A publicist from Larsson's UK publisher Quercus said the CBS interview was a surprise -- not realizing that the manuscript in question was close to being finished. She added, "None of us has seen anything and nothing has been agreed in terms of publishing it." This summer a friend of Larsson's revealed the possible setting of the fourth book to be in a "remote area of northern Canada, Sachs Harbour, with numerous wild animals but fewer than 150 inhabitants."
So whether or not this fourth novel (or fifth ... ) will ever appear in print or on screen is anyone's guess at this point. The legal entanglements over Larsson's estate could very well keep the manuscript tied up for years, a fate many fans would find more disturbing than the tales of sexual sadism and murder made so popular in the earlier releases.

3.95/5 rDev +3.1%
Found in the pictured 1/2 L swingtop with, as expected for an import, no date. Popped with the barest carbonation and no fanfare whatsoever.
Poured into my big, sassy goblet, body is coffe-dark and has reddish-orange edges. Head is medium off-white and falls to a lace of rainbow-tipped bubbles within moments. Crystal clear.
Smell is abrubtly grainy with lots of that east-european yeast that's so hard to use and use correctly. Not so much green peas as twice-cooked vegetable stock. Vaguely german bread, but not the dark-black sort. Malt is very caramel, but there's clearly some lighter sorts hiding out. Barest hints of dark-citrus hopping.
Body abandons the risky yeast notes for a much cleaner showing of fully-sprouted malts with a totally medium roast to them. Some cedar, some pine. Not so much bitter as alum-like astringincy in moderation. Actually fairly sweet and thin for something this dark. Has a dextrin character reminiscent of a trippel. Only fruity notes are dark orange peels.
Feels so clean on the tongue that you almost don't miss the nearly-absent carbonation. Only slightly coats the soft palate and lips.
Despite fairly progressive labeling, this is certainly an old-world brew. Though I'm not particular towards the strain of yeast used, credit is due for a very balanced brew. I fear the bottle I had may not have fared well in the trip overseas, but even saying that, it's a dopplebock pure and simple and a strong enough to stand on it's own.

Poured into a 1/2 liter stein a rich mahogany color with a rather thin off white head,the clarity and richness was nice,it overshadowed the lack of a head.Lighter aromas of caramel malt,plum-like fruitiness,and light iron,not a real assertive nose.One of the sweeter German made doppelbocks its heavy on the caramel and plum/prune sweetness,in saying that its warming and is what its supposed to be.Lighter in feel but it goes down easily without much alcohol presence.This would be good on a cold winters day wich we dont get here in NC very much.

Appearance This one foamed up like crazy. The head was kind of loose but went down slowly and laced the glass. The body was brown and seemed kind of thin though.
Smell Theres the classic doppelbock aromas. The toasted malt and toffee/caramel came out nicely. Did I finally find a good ale from Der Hirschbrau?
Taste Not quite. The taste was a real disappointment. The toasted malt was there, but the sugars wimped out and the offering took on a wimpy, water, flavor.
Mouthfeel This was horrible. It was flat and unappealing.
Drinkability If you know and love doppelbock, this is not for you.

This beer was an unexpected surprise. Good looking deep-copper colour.
Thin head that rapidly cleared to the thinnest peripheral head of bubbles.
Fat molasses flavour rolling over the tongue. Smokey rich molasses, which at times can threaten to become a bit too too rich to my dry-favouring palette.
Would enjoy this again, but it's a bit too full-on for me to make this a session beer. People who favour the richer/stronger end of the spectrum might find it very interesting though.

Deep red-copper, maybe a mahogany. I'd love to have hardwood floors this color. Aroma is like a decoction malt heaven - sweet malt-o-plenty. Head disperses quickly, leaving little lace.
Deep sip - ahh! A sweetish decocted malt attack consisting of dark caramel-dipped fruit (figs? dates?), with some maple and pumpernickel flavors. Distant underlying noble hoppiness to balance. Almost criminally drinkable for the strength as the body is deceptively light for a doppelbock. Aftertaste is like a caramel apple sandwich on pumpernickel. Which, oddly enough, is a signature I look to - and love to - find in a good doppel.
A very nice effort - not nearly as chewy as an Andechs or a Paulaner, but eminently more drinkable for it. A couple of liters of this would leave me a happy boy.

16.9 oz brown flip-top bottle with no freshness date from HDT Importers Inc.
Appearance: Deep reddish brown hue with a glowing clarity. Thin on the head minimal stickage on the glass.
Smell: Earthy malt with sweet melanoidin aromas. Hint of spice in the alcohol and faint herbal hop as well.
Taste & Mouth Feel: Very creamy with a battle between the crispness and a slickness in the full malty body. Fresh brown bread, pumpernickel crust and almost caramel malt flavor. Suggestions of black tea and chicory in the back. Touch of alcohol warms the mouth. Hops smooth things out with just enough to balance, finishes with a toasted malt sweetness that is not cloying at all.
Drinkability & Notes: Quite complex with a delicious readiness to it. I dont know whether to sip this or quaff it then the malt and alcohol reminds me it is a bigger brew. Went very well with the buffalo burger with mild cheddar on a bulky roll.

16.9 oz swingtop bottle, served into an imperial pint glass. Pours a clear, mahogany body with a small, beige head that is quickly falling, then suddenly disappearing as I accidently tilt the top inch of the contents onto my coffee table. Oops! No lacing, from either bottle.
Aroma has a powerful maltiness, appropriate for style. Molasses, caramel, and brown sugar combine with a dark fruitiness of figs and dates, with a hint of spicy anise, to produce a powerful bouquet. Very nice!
Mouthfeel is very light bodied for style, with low to medium carbonation.
Taste is complex with lots of malt character. Molasses and maple syrup front a strong component of dark fruity figs, dates, and raisins. Definitely, a hint of spice is lurking here..seems to be anise. Hops are understated, and lend a balancing bitterness, floral in a retro-olfactory sense. Alcohol is cleverly concealed all the way through. Finish has some chocolate malt character, and the aftertaste features a dark fruit tartness.
The lighter body makes this very drinkable for a doppelbock. Certainly, not as heavy or filling as its more celebrat(or)ed, cousins. Definitely,worth a try!

Had this doppelbock about this time last year. A good brew to (hopefully) close off the winter...
Pours a rich, dark ruby - lovely when held to the light. Despite an aggressive pour, only about a half inch of head that quickly dissolved into a ring. A few flecks of lacing.
The nose is nutty and malts, with a touch of dark fruit and spice. Pumpernickel bread, caramel, and booze round things off.
Sweet caramel and chestnuts up front, then a fruity, spicy finish. A bit of warming alcohol creeps in here, but the taste of it isn't unpleasant. Rich, yet easy to drink. Definitely a sipper - hearty and delicious.
Thick carbonation, with a medium-thick body. Slighty creamy, chewy.
A great doppelbock, definitely one to keep in mind for cold winter/spring evenings. Might have to pick up a bottle or two for the cellar.

Another sticky sweet doppelbock. Soy, caramel, toffee, with some roastyness/burntness and some chocolate, not much in the finish, minimal bitterness. Too upfront and sweet. Sometimes this style really impresses me (Andechser, Celebrator), and other times its one of my least favourite dark beer styles, but some nice flavours.

(served in a dimple mug)
A- This beer has a dense but clear brown body with a fizzy beige head and a racing carbonation.
S- The aroma is strong of black olives but as it warms it takes on more of a rich Munich malt aroma with some darker malts underneath.
T- The woody brown malt flavor has a freshly crushed Munich malt taste followed by some darker toasted malts and a dry roasted malt finish that lingers a bit. The melenoidins in the background grow as the beer warms and some pot caramel comes through as a nice sweetness.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a soft cleaning fizz and no alcohol heat.
D- This beer has some nice malt flavors like chewing on fresh grain but without the hulls getting stuck in your teeth. The nougat melenoidins were a nice support and weren't to strong making this beer full but very drinkable.

Deep red-brown capped by a huge beige heage. Poor head retention and no lace. Fiery garnet highlights when held to the light. Crystal clarity. Rich, malty aroma smells of raisins, nuts, and dark bread. Richly flavoured without being overly sweet, fruit & nut flavours rest on a foundation of toasted bread. There's a hint of brown sugar and barely noticeable alcohol. There's a subtle earthiness to the finish. Medium bodied with low carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel.
I like it a lot more than I remember liking it last year. I've gone through a few of these half-litre bottles since it started showing up on LCBO shelves this spring, and will probably go through a few more before its gone.

Pours a dark reddish-amber. Foamy head reduces to a very thin skin quickly, and all but disappeared soon after. Very slow carbonation. No lace.
Smells of sweet, robust malts, and ripened dark fruits such as plums and prunes.
Delicious. Very malty flavor with an essence of brandy. Alcohol is felt but warming, not cloying. Chocolate and caramel flavors zing through upon further sipping. Not too sweet.
Feels velvety smooth in the mouth with a mild fizziness. Reminds me of barleywine in this aspect.
A very easy sipper, delicious by itself or as an after-dinner dessert.

A very decent beer, and one of the superior choices of the LCBO, our local government largest buyer of alcohol in the world. Pours darkish, carbonation is high and mouthfeel not as smooth as could be,and on the sweetish side, but decent drinker.Average for its style.

Pours a dark copper, a thick tan head recedes quickly. Some spotty lacings, but nothing noteworthy.
Cinnamon laced fruit with some candied nuts in the aroma.
True to smell, loads of typical malt flavours. Rye bread, light caramel notes, jammy dark fruit, faint spice. Very tasty.
The mouthfeel is great, incredibly smooth and creamy for a lager. Moreover, this is dangerously drinkable, the strength is incredibly well-hidden.

A - Really nice artwork on the swing-top bottle....very pastoral and serene. Very German. This one is deep wood-stain brown with dark purple hues showing up when it's held to the light. It looks almost red at times. The tan head stars out at about two fingers and recedes to a firm cap....eventually the head disappears altogether. Nice frothy lacing is left on the glass.
S - Chocolate marshmallows...like Count Chocula. Nice understated chocolate scents with hints of vanilla also, and there is a faint smokey sausage aroma also....like smelling the campfire from a distance.
T - Milky chocolate icing flavors manage to be sweet and cake-batter like without being cloying. German chocolate cake, Little Debbie rolls, and all things baked and chocolate in nature. The faintest twinge of hop goodness wraps up the chocolate flavors and sort of cleans the palate. There are slightly woody and sausagey flavors too....slighty feral and wild.
M - Very low level of carbonation. Creamy and slick. The finish is like taking your last bite of German chocolate cake....then the alcohol warms you from the inside. My only complaint is that it's a bit thin.
D - Just about perfect. It's complex, interesting, sweet and scrumptious, but also understated and mild in a way. This is less balls out malty than some other doppelbocks, and IMO that adds to it's drinkability.

A clear mahogany body is capped by a short head of dense tan foam which fades away shortly but maintains a creamy collar and initially leaves some minor spotty lace. Although the nose is somewhat restrained and lacks the rich Munich malts found in many examples (ie. Optimator); it is fairly complex with a gentle touch of fruit (apple, soft prune, mild background cherry), deeply caramelized sugars, and a waft of mineral character. In the mouth it's very fine carbonation gently tingles the tongue; thinning and smoothing out the medium/just-bordering-on-full body. The flavor delivers some light fruit upfront; followed by a rich, deeply toasted and caramelized molasses-like maltiness as it warms across the palate. The bitterness is quite evident beneath the malt at this point - suggesting that it will finish bone dry - yet it oddly fades away as the sweet but deeply toasted malt steps forward to linger on the palate. It's crisp and refreshing then as the malt erodes and some dark fruit steps back in; leaving an impressive and complex finish! A very unique Doppelbock that holds enough malt to satisfy, and is exceptionally well-balanced. The alcohol is very well-hidden; and except for the fact that it does eventually hit you, this is a really drinkable doppelbock. Most impressive!

Hi guys and girls. I plan to upgrade my gear and as it usually goes I have no idea what to do After this upgrade I think that I won't be buying anything for a very long time so I need some advice.
Currently I have 24-70 f2.8L, 70-200 f2.8L IS II, 5d mark II and 3x Speedlite 600EX RT. I will be doing some weddings this summer as a second photographer and this is main reason for upgrade.
I was thinking of this two options:
- EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM + EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
I need something wide...24-70 is great but sometimes (not too often) just not wide enough.
85mm F1.2 well you all know what this thing can do. This would be really helpful in dark churches. Some places don't allow flashes and I don't want to be too intrusive during the ceremony. Also this would be great for portraits.
I also considered 50mm 1.2 but after reading some reviews it appears to be too soft for a lot of people.
- EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM + 5d markIII
I am thinking about new camera is mainly because of bad auto-focus on mk2. I had a lot of missed shots with it(mostly in low/bad light). Second reason is group mode support for Speedlite 600EX RT. I still have no clue why canon did not add this in the older camera models. And lastly better high ISO performance.
So what would you suggest?
PS besides the weddings sometimes I shoot concerts, astrophotography and lots of family pictures (usually kids running around).
PPS great site and forum
Thanks in advance.
what body are you currently using?

A key part supplier says GM's standards were not up to par leading up to the recall.
Federal regulators investigating the GM ignition switch recall of more than two million cars now say GM approved the design of the faulty part.
According to auto part supplier Delphi, before GM gave the design its stamp of approval, testing suggested the part was "still well below GM's original specifications."
CEO Mary Barra will head to testify before Congress tomorrow. Some say there are models that should have been recalled a decade ago.
GM recalled 1.3 million vehicles today, adding to the 4.8 million recalled over the weekend.

Honda Rincon 680 Camo Peeling
Please feel free to sign this petition even if you are not experiencing this problem, but disagree with Honda\'s actions. The reason for this petition is to make honda take responsibility for their product and the defect that it has. Honda refused to fix my plastic under warranty because it was not peeling in the same way as their others. Honda said that there was a problem with the plastic but since my was not part of the recall it wasn\'t their problem. I asked Honda what they thought the reason for the camo peeling on my plastic was and their response was they had no idea, except for that it wasn\'t their problem.
Im sign this petition because i have a rincon 680 camo and the paint peeling

BERLIN (AP) -- Michel Bastos scored twice to salvage a 2-2 draw for Schalke at Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday, offering embattled coach Jens Keller some respite before Wednesday's Champions League game at Galatasaray.
Mainz, which knocked Schalke out of the German Cup in Keller's first game last December, scored through Andreas Ivanschitz in the 27th, but Bastos equalized with a simple tap-in in the 41st.
Zdenek Pospech put the home side back ahead in the 63rd, only for winter signing Bastos to equalize again with eight minutes remaining.
Bayer Leverkusen beat Augsburg 2-1, Freiburg held on for a 3-2 win at Werder Bremen, Rafael van der Vaart struck to give Hamburger SV a 1-0 win at home over Borussia Moenchengladbach, and Fortuna Duesseldorf beat bottom side Greuther Fuerth 1-0.

For metal novices, the only time you'll hear of the band Flotsam & Jetsam is when they are mentioned as the band bassist Jason Newsted left to join Metallica. For the rest of us, Flotsam & Jetsam remains one of the most underrated acts in metal over the past decade or two, and 1992's "Cuatro" is another overlooked metal masterpiece from the 90's that really went unnoticed, just like the band themselves. The first three tracks here; "Natural Enemies", "Swatting at Flies", and "Message", are masterpieces, as well as "Wading Through the Darkness" and "Are You Willing". What's even more of a shame than the band's underratedness, is the fact that "Cuatro" has been long out of print, and considering all the recent re-releases which are supposedly "re-mixed and re-mastered" (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth), this album deserves it more so. If you've never heard Flotsam & Jetsam and you're into old metal like old Metallica and Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Black Sabbath, and such, do yourself a favor and give this a look if you can find it.
Flotsam & Jetsam Biography - Flotsam & Jetsam Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
From the opening future-thrash twin-blast of "Ignition" and "Detonation," with their anthemic refrains and blizzards of lacerating lead work, The Crusade is clearly a body of work that could raise the bar for rock bands around the world. ThereÂ's the staggering, precocious "Anthem (We Are The Fire)," which blends the scathing thrash riffs of Megadeth with the infectious swagger of Mötley Crüe at their succinct best. The intricate, rumbling bludgeon of "Becoming The Dragon" has a pummelling, cyclical rhythmic drive and soaring, left-of-centre chorus. The doom-laden, emotion-stuffed "And Sadness Will Sear", reveals a new, darker, edgier side to TriviumÂ's otherwise hook-laden chops. The deceptively accessible "The Rising" is a sumptuous hymn hewn from the juiciest licks that boasts a phenomenal crowd-rousing chorus… imploring the faithful to 'Raise your voices with meÂ…and sing this song of unity!Â' This collection of gems culminates in the albumÂ's monumental, shape-shifting title track; a nine-minute instrumental monstrosity that twists, turns and torments the listener with rapid-fire tempo shifts, immaculate musicianship and a thrilling sense of adventure. ItÂ's an obscenely brave and ambitious end to a glorious collection of songs that seems destined to cement TriviumÂ's reputation as the heaviest, sharpest, smartest and hardest working band of their generation.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This album is clearly Flotsam & Jetsam's Magnum Opus. The songs all flow coherently and with a precision rarely seen in any genre. The fact that this album was so badly overlooked is indicative of the early 1990's when all the music critics were completely addled with the grunge movement. The music and the lyrics on this album are still current today.
I remember the first time I saw the video for "Wading Through The Darkness" on Head Banger's Ball and the subsequent interview that went along with it. I was amazed and knew that I had to go buy this album immediately. If you appreciate truly excellent metal music that is masterfully written, played, produced, and lives outside of time, then "Cuatro" is for you.
The Good
You may only know the band as the one Metallica's Jason Newsted used to be in, but these underground thrash metal legends had everything their mainstream counterparts had. Monster riffage, killer solos, pissed off lyrics, and fist pumping anthems. The group started in 1982 but didn't get their major label break until 1990 (you know where the story goes from there). For their fourth album the group decided to tread the same ground as those thrashers that came before them; they went commercial. Say what you want, but it worked for Metallica and Megadeth, and Flotsam and Jetsam were no different. Well, except for the platinum records. Hey, it was 1990.
Thumping bass lines mixed with chugga-chugga fury set the pace for the album's opener "Natural Enemy." Pounding drums and melodic, yet edgy vocals take you the rest of the way. "Swatting at Flies" is all about the riffage and guitar licks. "The Message" almost sounds like early Queesryche as vocalist Eric AK treads falsetto territory. "Wading Through the Darkness" [sample] is an epic track that is almost movie soundtrack-like with it's multi-emotional sections. "Double Zero" is about how it's getting harder and harder to trust anyone. "Never Reveal" is a pure thrash assault with all guitars blazing and drums firing on all cylinders.
"Are You Willing" has one of those bass line intros that you won't forget. Much like Megadeth's "Peace Sells." "(Ain't Nothing Gonna) Save This World" experiments with sound bites. Five bonus cuts are included on this re-release. "Date With Hate" is the only fresh track as the rest are remixes (and one's a video). "Wading Through the Darkness" returns as a radio edit and a decent industrial mix. You can watch the video too. "Cradle Me Now" is also presented as a radio edit. Get your copy now, only 2000 are being pressed.
The Bad
The Verdict
Growing up as a metalhead in the eighties, the thrash metal scene was what I craved. Once the bigger acts got a bit repetitive for my liking, I sought out the underground stuff. I actually discovered Flotsam and Jetsam's fifth album first, Drift, and was blown away by the musicianship. Cuatro is no different. In fact, the group finds a perfect balance between underground thrash and commercial thrash without selling out their sound. Cuatro is an undiscovered metal classic. If you look hard enough, you'll find the group is still out there making noise.
In the early 90s many of the pioneering thrash bands began to alter their sound. One route was to take the more technical approach while others started flirting with what would become known as groove metal. Flotsam and Jetsam took a path similar to Metallica and Megadeth in that they slowed down the tempos and embraced a more traditional heavy metal sound. Cuatro, on the other hand, while perhaps more accessible compared to earlier efforts, is a severely underrated album.
On this album Flotsam embrace other music elements, yet without sacrificing their integrity. To be honest the music here is more reminiscent of something akin to Alice in Chains than Pantera. Overall its very melodic, but still aggressive and quite technical in certain areas. There are a few thrashy moments such as on the killer opener Natural Enemies, Never to Reveal, and Hypodermic Midnight Snack, but that isn't the main focus on this record. A greater emphasis is placed on the vocal patterns and melodies of Eric A.K., who also gives one of his best vocal performances in the band's history.
That isn't to say the band has lost focus of their metallic roots, and far from it as there are some devastatingly heavy riffs at play. Swatting at Flies is such a brooding and powerful song. Even Wading Through the Darkness, which is the closest thing to a ballad on the album, has such tremendous weight and emotion behind its melodic dynamics. The guitar leads on the album are quite stunning and well crafted, and each song is memorable in some fashion, especially in regards to the strong lyrics throughout.
The sound they have on this album feels more like a true progression instead of a rushed commercialization. I can't really compare it to their latter efforts because I haven't heard much of their newer material, but anyone into their first two classics should give this one a chance. I may actually prefer it to 'No Place For Disgrace' now. I also find it to be a rather hard album to find, so definitely pick it up if you ever see it.
I don't know what can. At least in terms of F'nJ. Natural Enemies is a fantastic number by these underrated thrash masters, and Swatting at Flies, with its offbeat riffs straight out of the heavy metal textbook, is so catchy you'll most likely be hooked. Everything else on Cuatro is awesome as well, but the first two tracks stand out from the rest in my humble opinion. For me, the albums you MUST HAVE from Flotsam and Jetsam are Doomsday for the Deceiver, When the Storm Comes Down, Cuatro, and High. NONE of those albums disappoint. I'm not recommending F'nJ to my more hardcore brothers and sisters, because the fact is that they might be disappointed, and that's Ok. As I've said before, fans of 80s thrash, Priest, Maiden, Sabbath, Ozzy, and maybe even some fans of 80s hair metal can be shown the way by Flotsam and Jetsam. A great metal band who deserves their time, even if it's 20 years past due.

Giana you are not a beat and you are not married to Joe Jonas
on Nov 13, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Okay Nicky: answer me this one.
Jill needs three pieces of lumber a total of 27 ft. long for a dog
pen. The second piece has to be 4 ft. longer than the first, and the
third piece has to be 4 ft. longer than the second. How long is each
piece of lumber?
No answer? No baseball for you!
on Nov 13, 2008 at 5:19 pm
C'mon, Nicky -- it's easy! Shouldn't take this long. What's the formula? If the first piece is "x", then what's the second? The third? And what to they equal all together?
When you're a pro baseball player and I'm your agent -- I'll rob you blind!
on Nov 14, 2008 at 8:18 am
Time's up, Nicky -- you suck at this -- and it's a hanging curveball of math questions!
Look, the formula is: x+(x+4)+(x+8)=27
Which becomes 3x+12=27 when you remove the parens, which you can, cuz it's addition.
Subtract 12 from both sides and it's 3x=15. Divide both by 3 and x=5.
So the boards are 5+9+13=27. EEEE-ZZZZZ!
Okay, slugger -- I'll give you the weekend on this one, cuz it's harder -- ask yer Mom for help:
"At the same moment, two trains leave Chicago and New York. They move towards each other with constant speeds. The train from Chicago is moving at speed of 40 miles per hour, and the train from New York is moving at speed of 60 miles per hour. The distance between Chicago and New York is 1000 miles. How long after their departure will they meet?"
Remember -- in real life, ya gotta count past four!

Why am I reminded of this scene from "Grease?"
Principal McGee: "We have pictures of you so-called mooners. And just because the pictures aren't of your faces doesn't mean we can't identify you."
"At this very moment those pictures are on their way to Washington where the FBI has experts in this type of identification. If you turn yourselves in now, you may escape a Federal charge."

"the highly politicised artist paula roush visited the gallery p74 for the exercise sos:ok (save our souls: zero killings). her company msdm (mobile strategies of display and mediation) staged the largest ever simulation of a terror attack in central slovenia to test the readiness of its emergency services. policemen, firefighters and ambulance personnel were involved in the mock chemical gas attack, which was held in the art gallery in ljubljana, the largest city in slovenia.
during the exercise, around 400 volunteers from the army and red cross pretended to be victims of a nerve gas attack and underwent a decontamination procedure, which involved having their clothes cut off and entering a special disinfecting shower, with the more seriously injured taken to hospital.
a l jubljana police spokesman said the exercise was as realistic as possible."

Just four days old, the new luggage screening process has been hard to accept for many travelers.
"I don't like it," said passenger David Steadman.
Since 9/11, Americans have both tolerated and demanded more screening at the nations airports. But now, with the full implementation of having every single bag searched, travelers are feeling the sudden sting of a loss of privacy.
"You feel like your privacy is being invaded a little bit, and as Americans you're not used to that," said Frances Baird.
"The public has been great, they're cooperating as best as they can," said TSA Screening Supervisor Ted Landry. He says the public has been cooperative but not completely trusting. "A lot of passengers aren't comfortable with leaving their bags for someone to look at so they absolutely can stay and watch that," he said.
That's exactly what traveler David Steadman did, keeping a watchful eye as his bags were opened. "I'm not crazy about it. I don't like it. It's more of an invasion of privacy than anything," he said.
On top of that, others wonder whether the whole system is simply too little too late. "I don't really know if it's justified," said passenger John Wendt. "I kind of feel if terrorists want to find a way to cause some damage, they'll find easier targets than this," he said.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, HorrorRobin Hardy's 1973 The Wicker Man holds a special place in the heart of many horror fans, but the goodness of the occult thriller has nearly been undone by Nicolas Cage, Neil LaBute, and "Not the beeeeeess!!" But Hardy's going to try to make you forget all of that bear-suited weirdness by returning to his world of Celtic sacrifice in The Wicker Tree. The Edinburgh News reports that the long delayed sequel has begun filming in and around Edinburgh (prettiest city in the world).
Dread Central has the scoop on the film's story, which isn't a direct sequel, but a story "in the style" of the original that explores the same occult world. But I'm a little worried this one could actually veer into Nic Cage camp when you consider its original title: Cowboys For Christ. Those cowboys are actually two Americans - a gospel singer named Beth and her cowboy boyfriend Steve. They're both members of those "waiting until marriage" movements, and decide to leave Texas for Scotland, in the hopes of converting the pagan population they believe lives there. After being mocked and abused ("Leave us and our kilt-wearing, sex-loving ways alone!"), they're welcomed with open arms to Tressock, the feudal fiefdom of Lachlan Morrison (Christopher Lee!). They assume their Tressock hosts want to hear more about silver promise rings, and the love of Jesus. Because, you know, Christopher Lee is just that type of guy. They're in for a big surprise ... especially if it's Beltane! The film has a release date of 2010, and we'll keep you updated on all its burning love and sacrifices.

---- — The Masconomet girls hockey team will be returning home tonight — home to Newburyport, that is.
The Chieftains, a co-op of players from Newburyport, Triton, North Andover, Hamilton-Wenham and Georgetown, will be taking on Medford at 5 p.m. at the Graf Rink as part of a Masco doubleheader. The Masconomet boys will face off against the Clippers at 7.
But for many of the lady Chieftains, tonight's game is their first chance to shine in front of their own hometown crowd.
"We just want to raise awareness of girls hockey in this area," said Masco girls hockey coach Nicole Twomey, an Amesbury resident and teacher in the Newburyport school system. "Girls hockey is here, and it's here to stay."
The Chieftains will also be rasing awareness for cancer research. While their game will be free to all, donations for the American Cancer Society will be accepted at the door, something that Twomey is very proud of since she has been trying to get her girls to be more civic-minded.
"We just feel, as a coaching staff, that cancer has touched many people's lives," said Twomey. "It is a very easily relatable cause, and we certainly wanted to give back."
But the big draw for the girls, who normally play out of the Talbot Rink in Gloucester, will be the first chance to play in front of a bigger crowd. Sophomore right wing Ashley Hodge (granddaughter and daughter of Boston Bruins' alumni Ken Hodge and Ken Hodge Jr.) relishes the idea of playing in front of more than just her parents this time around.
"I'm really excited," Hodge said. "I'm really looking forward to it. We don't have to drive far, and maybe we will get some fans that we actually know. That's always a good thing. It drives me to play better and helps me focus more. I hope some people will go a little bit crazy for us."
The Newburyport boys hockey team has enjoyed a crazier than usual fan base this season, thanks to some body paint and creative chants. That is exactly the atmosphere Twomey wants to expose her players to.
"Newburyport boys hockey has always had a very strong fan base," said Twomey. "So, absolutely, I'd love to tap into their fan base a little (and) it made sense to, rather than going to Haverhill (where the Masco boys play), to play it at the Graf. We can really pack the fans in, and even if there aren't that many, it will end up looking like more people are there. It's just a good rink in that Newburyport and Triton house their youth programs there. So it seemed to make sense. If there's a rink up here in the Cape Ann League, the Graf is it."
This season has been not only the first for Twomey as head coach, but the first where the Chieftains can skate more than one line. Things have been going nicely as they sit on an 8-3-0 record so far.
"This has been a big year for us, the program has changed quite a bit, and I've been extremely happy," said Twomey. "I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls to be there for my first year. For the challenges we've faced as a team this year, we've overcome them, and I think that we continue to get better."
Speaking of improving, tonight represents a chance for the Chieftains to get a little something back in a rematch with the Mustangs, who are one of the three blemishes on their record. Medford posted a 3-1 victory over Masco Jan. 7, and two of the Mustangs' goals came on the power play.
"Out of our three losses, there are two that we certainly want to get back," said Twomey. "And luckily, we get to get one of them back (tonight). This will be a different game (too), we will be playing in our home rink and hopefully playing in front of a ton of fans."
More fans and more players are what Hodge is hoping for.
"More girls should join the team," said Hodge. "More girls should play. This is only my second year on the team, and I think that if more people know about it now, the better."
