Thanks to Skuter, ChewyLewy, and scribe594 for sharing this one at Skuter's tasting.
Best by 12/30/13.
Pours a murky honey yellow with a foamy off-white head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Small chunks of sediment are seen floating around in the beer after the pour. Smell is of malt, honey, brown sugar, and citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with malt, citrus zest, and slight cardboard flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is drinkable but a bit old tasting at this point.

The appearance of this is very distinctive. It's a very bright yellow like a bell pepper, but with just a bit of orange colour to it. It retains a small head. The smell is very malty and sweet. The taste has an excellent malty essence to it with a bright hop character that really compliments it. It gives it a bit of a resinous mouthfeel that I don't generally like, but I was expecting hop notes in this and will not hold that against this beer. I think that for someone who wants some hop character added, to the sweet, maltiness of an English barleywine, this really comes through. It pairs them quite nicely. There's no tinge of skunky flavour at the back that's hard to get rid of in a lot of high-alcohol, sweet, malty beers. I'm not sure how they got this so bright a colour. It has some really nice flavour notes of a darker, English barleywine. This beer does an excellent job of using hops. It adds to the character of the beer without detracting anything by covering up flavours I was looking forward to.
One thing you have to be prepared for is that this is DRY DRY DRY. If you're not in the mood for dry, don't drink it. It is resinous with biscuity malts. And high alcohol and high carbonation on top of that. So dry! Be ready.

This barleywine pours from the bottle to an orange color and a sweet, sharp nose that lumps together scents of fruit, caramel, and honey. The foam isn't very thick, but it does leave a nice amount of lace on the glass as you consume.
With the taste, this beer offers up some flavors of citrus, honey, biscuits, and a dash of pine. I can detect some vanilla in there as well, plus some grassiness, underlying dark fruit, and alcohol.
This is an interesting, medium- bodied barleywine with a combination of different flavors not experienced in every example of the style. The fruitiness is most dominant, but I like that the beer attempts to balance its flavor with other taste sensations, including significant taste contributions from the malt.
Another interesting beer from Real Ale, this barleywine may not be my favorite from this Texas brewer, but I do like what I taste here and will try it again if I get the chance.

Appearance - opaque orange yellow color with a head that quickly fades
Smell - a bunch of hops up front with a slight caramel flavor as well
Taste - rich malty flavors up front that lead into the hops leaving you with the barley wine booze at the end. Somehow it works.
Mouthfeel - while it does leave your mouth a little boozy it was very palatable and not very carbonated.
Overall - glad I got this guy in a beer trade as it was a pleasant surprise! Nice variation that made me want more than the one I got.

Brewer's Cut 006 Blonde Barleywine
Real Ale BC
12 oz bottle to Libbey Belgian
Bought late March 2013?
Best by 12.31.13
A – Decently clear and translucent. Quite golden.
S – A sweet, resiny smell, backed up by some spice. Sort of like a sweet melon with some grass and citrus zest. There's also some breadiness, as I am reminded of the Duvel Tripel hop I had last week. Don't shoot me, but I am slightly reminded of a saison.
T – I'm really getting a hybrid of styles here. I'd describe it as a sweeter, slightly thicker IPA. Hops impart flavors of grass and citrus, all while being wrapped up in a slightly sweet, boozy blanket that unfurls after the swallow.
M – Medium bodied, slightly sticky. Soft and slick though, and stays close to the tongue. A pretty wet finish. I like it, and I think on hotter days when a dry finish might be wanted, the flavor will make up for the wet finish.
D – I'm torn between openly liking it and being left wanting more to better decide. I suppose being left wanting more is a good thing! I do like that there's some sweetness and good medium body, yet also some oomph from the hop flavors. I think it's a little rough around the edges, as the smells and flavors can be picked out but they don't meld seamlessly (like a well-made Belgian ale) or support each other while being distinct and giving the beer what I call 'flavor clarity' (like Enjoy By 07.04.13). I think I'm going to buy some more so I can re-review, and cellar a couple bottles. That's a good sign.

Investigators in Cabarrus County have one man in custody after a triple homicide near Concord.
According to Sheriff Brad Riley, three women were killed after a shooting at a mobile home park called Cedar Estates in Cabarrus County. This is just off Lower Rocky River Road.
The Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office identified the women as Sheila Serrano, Sharon Cox, and Jessica Cox.
Investigators say the shooting involved three different mobile homes some time early Wednesday afternoon.
Thirty-seven-year-old Darryl Angelo Anderson, of Charlotte, is in custody in connection with the shooting.
"It does at this point appear to be domestic related," Sheriff Riley told WBTV. "I think it's important to provide that information just because I think the rest of the public needs to kind of get a good feel, you hear of a shooting incident two things are important public safety and we do have a good idea what caused it."
One of the women died at the scene and two died from their injuries at Carolinas Medical Center - Northeast, deputies say.
Hospital officials confirm to WBTV that CMC-Northeast was on lockdown for about an hour. The lockdown was lifted around 2:50 p.m.
Anderson has been arrested at least three times in Mecklenburg County since 2011.
Charges range from possession of firearm by felon, stolen firearm, drug charges, probation violations and driving with a revoked license.

Control Flow in Node Part II
I had so much fun writing the last article on control flow, that I decided to play around with the feedback I received. One thing in particular I want to talk about is the good work inimino is doing.
Node has two constructs that are used currently to handle async return values, namely promises and event emitters. You can read all about those on the nodejs.org website. I'm going to talk about these and another way to manage asynchronous return values and streaming events.
Why the distinction between Promise and EventEmitter?
In node there are two event handling classes. They are called Promise, and EventEmitter. Promises are for the async equivalent of a function.
var File = require('file');
var promise = File.read('mydata.txt');
promise.addCallback(function (text) {
// Do something
promise.addErrback(function (err) {
// Handle error
File.read takes a filename and returns the contents of the file.
Sometimes you want to listen for events that can happen several times. For example in a web server, when processing a web request, the
body event is fired 1 or more times and then the
complete event gets fired:
Http.createServer(function (req, res) {
var body = "";
req.addListener('body', function (chunk) {
body += chunk;
req.addListener('complete', function () {
// Do something with body text
The difference is that with a promise you're either going to get a success event or an error event. Never both, and never more than one event. For cases where there are more than two events and/or they can be called multiple times, then you need the more powerful EventEmitters.
Creating a custom promise
Suppose I want to write a wrapper around
posix.write, and
posix.close. Let's call it
fileWrite. (This is extracted from the actual implementation of
File.write in the "file" library.)
function fileWrite (filename, data) {
var promise = new events.Promise();
posix.open(filename, "w", 0666)
.addCallback(function (fd) {
function doWrite (_data) {
posix.write(fd, _data, 0, encoding)
.addCallback(function (written) {
if (written === _data.length) {
} else {
}).addErrback(function () {
.addErrback(function () {
return promise;
And now this can be used as:
fileWrite("MyBlog.txt", "Hello World").addCallback(function () {
// It's done
You'll note that we have to create a promise object, do our logic, and forward on the interesting results to the promise object.
There could be another way
Promised work well, but after reading about continuables from inimino, I was inspired to try another way.
Remember our first example, well suppose that File.read was used like this.
var File = require('file');
File.read('mydata.txt')(function (text) {
// Do something
}, function (error) {
// Handle error
Instead of returning a promise object, it returns a function that's expecting two callback methods. One for success and one for error. I call this the
Do style, and you'll soon see why.
Making callback style actions
Often we will want to make custom functions that don't return a value right away. Using this new style, our
fileWrite from above would look like this (assuming that the posix functions were converted to this style too):
function fileWrite (filename, data) { return function (callback, errback) {
posix.open(filename, "w", 0666)(function (fd) {
function doWrite (_data) {
posix.write(fd, _data, 0, encoding)(
function (written) {
if (written === _data.length) {
} else {
}, errback);
}, errback);
Notice how easy it is to chain the error messages back up to our caller. Also this code is much shorter, and easier to read I think.
The key to making these action is to, instead of creating a promise and returning, you return a function that takes two callbacks and then call them directly when needed;
The Do library
I came up with a small library called
Do earlier today. Actually it's not much, just a single function that does parallel actions much the Combo Library from the last article.
Here is the entire library:
Do = {
parallel: function (fns) {
var results = [],
counter = fns.length;
return function(callback, errback) {
fns.forEach(function (fn, i) {
fn(function (result) {
results[i] = result;
if (counter <= 0) {
callback.apply(null, results);
}, errback);
But combined with the callback style actions, this can lead to some very powerful and concise code.
Single Action
Lets assume that we have a function
readFile that uses this new technique. Here is how it's used:
// A single async action with error handling
readFile('secretplans.txt')(function (secrets) {
// Do something
}, function (error) {
// Handle Error
Parallel actions
Now let's combine that with the Do library:
])(function (source, secrets) {
// Do something
}, function (error) {
// Handle Error
This does two async actions in parallel and reports when both are done. Note that it stops on first error and passes it to the common error handler.
You can also pass in an array of pre-made actions.
var files = ["one.txt", "two.txt", "three.txt"];
var actions = files.map(function (filename) {
return readFile(filename);
Do.parallel(actions)(function () {
var contents = {};
files.forEach(function (filename, index) {
contents[filename] = arguments[index];
// Do something
// Let error thow exception.
Sequential Actions
For serial actions, simply chain the action functions.
function upcase_slowly(string) { return function (next) {
setTimeout(function () {
}, 100);
function save_data(string) { return function (next) {
writeFile('names_up.txt', string)(next);
)(function () {
// File was saved
This will read the file 'names.txt'. When that's done it will call
upcase_slowly. When that's done it will pass the new string to
save_data, which wraps
writeFile. When
writeFile is done our final callback will be invoked.
Just for fun, here is the same example translated to the Jack language (still in development).
readFile names.txt
| fun string -> next ->
timeout 100, fun ->
next string.toUpperCase()
| fun string -> next ->
writeFile 'names_up.txt', string | next
| fun ->
# File was saved

For those who've missed out... we still have last year's merch on CLEARANCE over at the Blorch! Shop! Remaining sizes/availability vary. Please check the shop out. And shipping $30 and over is still FREEEE! Just remember, your purchase helps fund future Twinkie Town t-shirt designs (and whatever other merch we decide to come up with)! Thanks for your patience as we're still working on getting the new 2012 tees ready - but they're coming soon!
First time coming across Twinkie Town surprisingly, but a huge passion of mine is photographing Twins games. I've attended 135 out of the 166 total Twins games played at Target Field and I've photographed probably nearly 100 of them in one way or another. You can either click the link above to go to my Flickr sets or use this link below to go to my website: http://benckphotos.com/ Photos are not for sale. They are simply for viewing. I hope to photograph many more games again this season. Thanks for looking.
TwinkieTown t-shirt clearance + free shipping is still going on! Order by 12/18 to receive in time for Christmas!
Thanks to all who helped clear the shelves this past weekend for our Blorch! Shop Black Friday sale! We sold out a few more sizes (forever), but I'm still determined to clear house of all remaining items! This is the cheapest most items have ever been, and FREE SHIPPING ($30 or more) is still active! Sale still going on TODAY (Cyber Monday) and at least through the next week... while supplies last! Since I hadn't drawn up a new Sunday Funny in quite a while, I thought I'd take the boredom out of another Blorch! Shop update and revisit our old "mascot" guy in festive form (by the way, I don't think we ever properly named him... ideas?). Head on over to the Blorch! Shop, get a fun piece of Twinkie Town attire (or tote) and save some holiday buckaroos!
TwinkieTown Black Friday Deal - save on our popular t-shirts and get free shipping over $30!
$5 Thome Tee Clearance + Thanks!
Just one more reminder on the shirts, because NO MORE reprints after this - we still have every size available left for the reprinted Super Special Edition Numbersota Tee (seen above), but I have a feeling a few are going to run out very soon (sizes Small and Medium are getting down there). Order while you still can. New shirt to be revealed soon, probably after Jesse's move back to the States. We still have a few things to figure out with this one.
Just a quick note and some good news... The final batch of Super Special Edition Numbersota Tees came off the presses ahead of schedule! I thought I wouldn't see them until next week, but the production crew kicked into high gear and had them ready this morning! So from here on out, all merch on the Blorch! Shop is shipping immediately with no wait. And one last reminder - once sizes of the aqua/red are gone, we're retiring it for good this time.

StrandOmics combines software and curated data to provide users with the genomics interpretation necessary to assess disease-related variants and to quickly generate patient reports
ROCKVILLE, Md., June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Strand Genomics Inc. (Strand) announced today that company representatives will demonstrate new capabilities of the company's clinical genomics interpretation software, StrandOmics, at the 2014 International Collaboration for Clinical Genomics (ICCG) Annual Conference on June 11 and 12 in Bethesda, Maryland. The conference brings together thought leadership in clinical genomics from around the world with an emphasis on the importance of sharing information and advancing best practices. In support of that effort, Strand will highlight one of StrandOmics' new features, which allows laboratories curating variants with the software to submit those variants to the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) public ClinVar database and to share with the community-at-large.
"We will demonstrate a community integration feature at the ICCG conference that lets StrandOmics users easily and automatically submit clinically curated variants to the ClinVar database. This shows Strand's continued commitment to open standards development and community participation," said Dr. Vijay Chandru, Chairman & CEO of Strand.
StrandOmics was designed to assist users with the clinical interpretation and reporting of genomic variants for conditions ranging from cancer (germline and somatic mutations) to rare inherited diseases in a way that follows clinical laboratory workflows, including HIPAA and CLIA compliance. StrandOmics combines a vast, knowledgebase that associates DNA variants with consolidated sources for clinical phenotypes, including the medical literature, with the ability to access the original source of information. The knowledgebase currently contains about 175,000 variants from both public and private sources including ClinVar, the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD®) and Strand's proprietary curated content, StrandVarDB, which is growing at a rate of about 10,000 new variant references every month.
"StrandOmics provides all the scientific and medical information needed by medical geneticists to classify the variants in a patient's DNA that are associated with diseases. This allows users to annotate variants and to generate reports that aide physicians in making accurate diagnoses faster," said Dr. Preveen Ramamoorthy, Vice President, Clinical Diagnostics, Strand.
In addition to enabling the interpretation and sharing of variants, StrandOmics supports one-click report generation that automatically integrates and formats references and citations. "Based on the feedback we have received from leading academic research hospitals in the USA as part of our Early Access Program, we have significantly enhanced the utility and usability of StrandOmics and included several new and exciting features including a transcript-level view of the impact of variants," said Dr. Ramesh Hariharan, Strand's CTO.
This additional view provides a bird's eye picture of all published disease-causing variants juxtaposed on the various gene transcripts, allowing users to quickly spot patterns of pathogenicity or zygosity in different transcripts and at different gene loci.
With StrandOmics, Strand puts high powered and easy to use personalized medicine solutions directly into the hands of clinical researchers and, ultimately, practicing clinicians. StrandOmics is routinely used on hundreds of samples to power Strand Center labs and serve more than 50 hospital customers in India. It is available worldwide for research and evaluation purposes as a continuation of its Early Access Program. StrandOmics is expected to be commercially available for research use only (FRUO) this fall.

Another Wired Curriculum from The United Nations CyberSchoolBus
Unit 1
Infectious Diseases: A Concern for All
Over 5.7 billion people are alive on earth today. Up to half of this population is at risk of many endemic diseases - diseases that regularly affect people. Some of these diseases may not be deadly or even debilitating. Unfortunately, there are many others that are.
Chances are most of us, at some point in our lives, have caught a 'cold' or the 'flu'. Fever, body aches and a sore throat are some of the symptoms. The 'cold', caused by the Adenovirus, and the 'flu', caused by the Influenza virus, are present in most regions of the world (although it is common to use 'cold' and 'flu' interchangeably, a 'cold' is not caused by Influenza). But for the most part, these are not deadly viruses. With lots of rest, healthy people beat the 'flu' and recover quickly.
Not all infections are as easily overcome. Tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS, for example, can be deadly. In fact, infectious diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. Of 52 million deaths in 1995, some 17 million came as a result of infectious diseases.

OAKLAND — Strange city. Strange team.
Although the Raiders rested 18 starters in their preseason finale Thursday night, enabling observers to glean little of what we will see in the opener against the Titans, I am starting to wonder if I didn't jump the gun a bit.
See, I picked the Raiders to beat the Chargers in the AFC West. I'll say it again: I picked the Raiders, owners of double-digit-loss seasons every year since 2003, to topple the Chargers, division champs five of the past six seasons.
I am not backing down. I made this choice and will stick with it.
But I am concerned for one major reason: depth.
The Raiders have, I believe, the starting talent to win 10 or more games. But that's if they are healthy. Right now, they are a little chewed up.
Starting QB Jason Campbell didn't dress Thursday night but did warm up the receivers on the field before the game, easing concerns about his thumb for the opener against the Titans. Campbell also had suffered a neck stinger.
"Right now, I can't talk about the injuries or anything," Campbell said, citing head coach Tom Cable's mandate to remain hush on ailments, "but come the Tennessee game, I'll be ready."
RB Michael Bush? Likely not. He suffered a Bennett's fracture in his thumb that likely will leave him out for the first four weeks of the season at a minimum. Against the Seahawks, Michael Bennett started slowly against the Seahawks but eventually ground away for 92 yards rushing on 25 carries against second- and third-team defensive players, some of whom will be the next assistant managers at your local IHOP.
But Bennett is just a third back. This means Darren McFadden, who has yet to consistently show he can be a lead back, must step up in the first month of the season.
Bush had looked solid in the preseason, and his loss will hurt, whether or not McFadden can raise his game. Bush looked to be a perfect fit in Hue Jackson's offense, which wants to pound and grind in order to open up the passing game.
And speaking of that passing game, there's the matter of who will be catching passes from Campbell and who will be snapping him the ball. Not just in Week One, but for the course of the season.
WR Louis Murphy and TE Zach Miller are two of his preferred targets. Darrius Heyward-Bey might be that third guy if he's finally ready to take a step up. One of the few starters to play Thursday, he had a pretty 34-yard reception, giving a glimpse of his rare athleticism. But like McFadden, the proof is in the pudding.
"I've got to do my job," Heyward-Bey said. "The bottom line is that we have to win.
"I just went back to work early (this offseason), worked my butt off, and I know it's going to pay off."
Even if Heyward-Bey steps up as a deep threat, this unit could use some help with Chaz Schilens out indefinitely. Expect every receiver on the trade block, from T.J. Houshmandzadeh to Patrick Crayton, to hear the Raiders attached to his name over the coming week.
Samson Satele, who was nursing an ankle injury, is the would-be center, but Cable could opt to go with rookie Jared Veldheer instead. The scary part isn't that the third-round pick played last season at Grand Valley State; it's that he only has played center, really, for the better part of a month. It's a pivotal position for a shaky offensive line's success.
Defensively, there's a lot to like. The front seven has dominant potential, and all-world CB Nnamdi Asomugha is one of the better cover men around. But the rest of the group brings questions.
Starting CB Chris Johnson, who might have lost his job to Stanford Routt, was repeatedly torched Thursday, his first action back from an ankle injury. The team is at least counting on Johnson to play in the nickel defense, which will be out on the field a great deal, but his Thursday performance suggested he might not be ready to be counted on.
"Obviously, there were some struggles with Chris," Cable said. "We'll just go look at it, and we'll make some decisions."
Another Chris Johnson — the Titans' 2,000-yard rusher — looms in nine days. He has set his sights on the unthinkable mark of 2,500 yards this season, looking to tee off in the opener against a Raiders run defense that was pretty awful last season and one that, while supposedly improved, allowed an 89-yard run to Bears RB Matt Forté and a 49-yard run to 49ers RB Frank Gore in the preseason.
We'll assume that MLB Rolando McClain is ready for prime time. We'll assume DT Richard Seymour is healthy and ready to play. We'll assume that FS Michael Huff won't continue to whiff on tackles in the open field.
Yes, there is some intriguing talent and depth at safety, where Mike Mitchell — the former Reach of the Century in last year's draft, according to many — has begun to assert his hard-hitting style and seventh-rounder Stevie Brown continues to impress with heady plays. Mitchell, who is known as the "Angriest Man in America" amongst his teammates, blew up Seahawks RB Justin Forsett (his former Cal teammate) on a play that had the sparse Oakland-Alameda Coliseum crowd juiced. It was a great hit, perhaps a display of what he can bring to this team.
But will it all be enough? Do the Raiders have all the pieces, not just the paper starters, to make a run this season?
"I think we do have the depth," Bennett said. "You didn't see it all tonight. Some guys were rested. We know what we have shown in training camp, and there's a lot to like here. There are a lot of reasons why we think we can make something happen."

Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Desmond Bryant left Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills and was transported to a hospital with "shortness of breath," according NFL Network sideline reports Alex Flanagan. With the game well into the fourth quarter, it's safe to say that Bryant's working night is over.
There was no word during the game about what triggered Bryant to suddenly experience trouble breathing. The team tweeted that Bryant was taken to the Cleveland Clinic for "precautionary reasons." He finished the game with two tackles. Bryant had 15 stops heading into Thursday night's kickoff.
The Browns suffered another significant injury earlier in the game when quarterback Brian Hoyer was forced to leave early in the first quarter due to a right knee injury. Hoyer was hit while sliding by rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso. The Browns currently hold a 3-point lead with under 12 minutes to play in the game.

Proving income for a website
Hi Everyone,
I am interested in purchasing a new site this year. I want it to have an absolute minimum income of at least $20 USD per month.
With that in mind, suppose I find a site I like. What sort of proof would you consider adequate to confirm this income?
I operate two other sites. One generates a good income, the other is a pet project of mine that generates nothing. For my income earner, I could prove income by offering a paypal statement, or a google statement..but can't these be altered to appear as if they are generating a little more than they actually are?
So how do you prove income in a site you were interested in purchasing? what would help make you sleep at night?

One method is to share the seller's screen.
Or get the seller to create a video of them accessing their website accounts. Harder to fake than screenshots, but it's still possible.

Thanks for the reply. Do you find people are honest about site revenue here or do some try to take the fast road and try and dupe the unsuspecting? it seems those sellers with a good reputation would be really foolish to try something like that here and ruin a reputation of trust that must take years of establishing. Particularly on an online marketplace.

Here is some tips from digitalpoint for buying a website:
Do: Check other websites such as Sitepoint or WebMasterWorld or some of the other trading forums. Chances are you'll find the exact same listing. Read it, if it didn't sell on another forum, there's more than likely a reason why.
Do: Check this person's history. How much reputation do they have? What are their last 20 posts like?
Do: Check the site statistics. Go on to Alexa, what's the ranking? Is the website indexed in Google? Does it have cached pages? Is it indexed in MSN? Are there backlinks? What's the PR?
Do: Check if any of the content is copyrighted, or stolen. Choose some random phrases from the articles or content, then Google it with "quotations". Does it show up on other websites?
Do: Ask questions.
How old is the site?
Was it originally yours?
Did you buy this site?
Why are you selling it if so?
How much traffic do you get?
How much traffic do you get from the US?
What scripts is it running?
Do I need a license for these scripts?
Do I need to install GD Library, MySQL, Image Magick, etc?
Is it your script?
Will I have full copyright to the scripts and content if I buy it?
Is this content unique?
How much does your hosting cost?
How much resources does it use?
What's the income?
What's the income for the past 4 months?
What ad networks do you use?
Do you have a Google Adsene account? Where you banned?
Will you help me set it up?
etc, etc
The buyer should be able to ask as many questions, stupid or otherwise. If the seller can't answer these honestly, or without hesitation. Take note.
Good luck!

Show them a screen shot of Google analytic for the domain if you have it. Also show Ad sense revenue for the domain. Its all in reports. I was checking another forum market place for domain sales. People want big bucks and advertise high traffic. None showed their analytic and most had 2-3 links. All wanted more than 2k They will never sell them. Show proof. Money talks, BS walks.

If ever they lied with regards their real income and you purchased it from flippa, you can always ask for the refund of your money. I guarantee it.

Vandals removed bollard from bridge
Vandals could have been responsible for an incident in which a driver drove over a cyclist bridge in Cambridge.
Cambridgeshire County Council says a bollard had been taken from the Rustat Road end of the bridge, allowing a man to mistakenly drive over it in his Jaguar.
He was forced to reverse the whole way back. The bollard has since been replaced.

A New Theatre and Old Plays
The year may have ended disastrously in the West End with the partial collapse of a ceiling at the Apollo, a 112-year-old Edwardian theatre that left over 80 theatregoers injured (seven of them seriously). But 2014 begins more happily with the opening of a brand-new indoor Jacobean theatre within the complex of Shakespeare's Globe on the South Bank that will turn the building into a year-round theatrical producer.
The Sam Wanamaker Theatre – named in honor of the Globe's American actor-founder – will seat 340 people with two tiers of galleried seating and a pit seating area, predominantly lit by candles. Its inaugural production will see Globe artistic director Dominic Dromgoole directing Gemma Arterton -- who made her professional stage debut at the Globe in 2007 -- in the title role of John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi (from Jan. 9). Also in the opening season there will be a new production of The Knight of the Burning Pestle (from Feb. 20) and a solo show about Ellen Terry, performed by Eileen Atkins (from Jan. 12).
Looking ahead to the summer months in the main Globe auditorium, the 2014 season will draw together two momentous anniversaries: the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth and the centenary of the First World War, with a season of four Shakespeares and four new plays being presented under the umbrella title Arms and the Man. There will be new productions of Antony & Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and The Comedy of Errors, plus a revisiting of a 2006 staging of Titus Andronicus; and new plays by Howard Brenton, David Eldridge, Richard Bean and Simon Armitage.
Elsewhere around town, there's more Arthur Miller at the Young Vic, where Dutch director Ivo van Hove will stage A View From the Bridge (from April 4). Also at the Young Vic, Juliet Stevenson will star in Beckett's Happy Days (from Jan. 23), Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne will return with The Valley of Astonishment (from June 20, a new piece exploring the mysteries of the human brain), Benedict Andrews will direct Gillian Anderson as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire (summer 2014, dates to be confirmed) and Katie Mitchell will direct Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard (from Oct. 10, in a new version by playwright Simon Stephens).
There's more Chekhov – in Russian – when Moscow's Moccbeta State Academic Theatre brings Andrei Konchalovsky's productions of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and Three Sisters (to Wyndham's from April 23).Continued...

Summary: Sent it in twice to have keyboard fixed as I get double letters and missed letters and missed capitalizations and missed "enter"keys. Service said I have to be more careful typing, even though I am a power typer. I have never had this problem in 40 years in the computer business, who are they to tell me I have go back to hunt and peck? Too bad they didn't put the keyboard from the S3 in this machine; my wife has that one and it is fine, but I wanted Windows 8.

Summary: I purchased the $1400 version of this laptop with the i5 processor and 128 GB storage. I agree with everything the CNET reviewer says, except that I do not feel like this was overpriced - in fact, after using this for a week I would been comfortable paying more for this. Also, I should clarify that while the touch PAD may not be the most responsive out there (I have no complaints though), the touch SCREEN is very responsive and very enjoyable to use. My only complaint about this laptop is that the built-in wifi and bluetooth have been awful. The wifi works fine on most networks but only intermittently on others (whereas my two older laptops have not had any problems at all). Bluetooth also frequently has issues. Fortunately, it's otherwise such a solid laptop that I'm able to overlook these problems.

4.13/5 rDev -1.7%
I finally got a few of these to hold onto for myself. I've picked up a few bottles for myself but somehow i traded them away as quick as i got them. snagged a bottle for myself and decided that this cool spring evening was the perfect pair for this bold beer.
A - Espresso. flat out, this beer with an aggressive pour looks like a double shot of espresso. Dark tan, creamy head gives way to a black as night/motor oil appearance. very good looking beer for such a bold style.
S - tannic-like and slightly acidic aroma that is very reminiscent of cherries. gives way to a acrid roast character. smoke lingers in and out intertwined between notes of vanilla, caramel, ethanol. perfumey hop note also lingers in the background. Oak really comes out as beer warms up. Very, very complex nose. the subtleties of this beer, almost of an oxymoron, create a very layered but balanced aroma.
T - Notes of vanilla and oak immediately come to mind at first sip. As flavors start to develop on the palate, roast and smoke come out initially and is followed up by sweet notes of caramel, ethanol and more of that cherry tannic note. Again there is so much complexity in the flavors, each layer emerges slowly and you can truly 'taste' every part of this beer.
M - Smooth carbonation, medium to full body. Never cloying, not in the least bit dry, great balance.
D - Highly, highly drinkable. Expect to put away this bomber by yourself. I highly suggest that you find the time to sit back and enjoy this beer. As i mentioned above, this beer has incredible integrity, the flavors emerge layer by layer and i can only suggest that you give it the time to enjoy that it deserves. excellent beer, great example of the style.

The pour is opaque black with just a slight light brown ring of head around the top. The nose features a bunch of roast with a nice mellow blend of oak, bourbon, and vanilla. This is certainly not the beat you over the head type of BA Impy. Again, the bitter roasted malts and even a bit of an earthy hop character sneak through, and the give way to very enjoyable bourbon barrel aged character. We have a medium body here that is very easy to drink. Just a tad of carbonation to keep it from being flat. The finish is pretty short lived. I find that to be a bit of a bummer. But over all, I think we have a well made barrel aged beer here.

Appearance: black in color with minimal head, opaque, low carbonation
Smell: big milk chocolate, roasted malt, and alcohol
Taste: sweet creamy start followed by big milk chocolate and a rich dark coffee finish.
Mouthfeel: heavy body, low carbonation, sweet with slight bitterness
Drinkability: Wow. This one was the last beer I snuck into my travel bag on my way back from Pennsylvania and I am glad I did. This is my new king in this category which I love. Super malty, super chocolaty without being cloying, I could have several. I did not even realize this was 12% the alcohol is so well hidden. Just an amazing beer.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours black with a tan head. The aroma is alcohol, tobacco, leather and dark fruit. For the flavor is get notes of chocolate, leather, tobacco, roasted malt and alcohol. Thick mouthfeel and low carbonation. This was a pretty good beer, but I went in expecting it to be a great beer and for that reason, I was a little disappointed. Still, I am glad I got to try it.

Bottle shared at a beer tasting/trading - this proved to be my favorite of the afternoon. Thanks Jeff!
Poured into a snifter glass. Jet black, nice mocha-tan head, good retention and lacing.
The nose is superb - coffee, chocolate, caramel, a bit of booze (but indeed, it's not bourbon), toasted malt. Rich and hearty.
Potent stuff. Strong caramel, chocolate and coffee flavor, with a bit of musky leather as well. Finishes bitter and quick.
Surprisingly light-bodied for such a rich and flavorful stout. Creamy, but not as much as I would have liked.
A great imperial stout, really enjoyed sipping on this despite the oppressive summer heat. Good balance of flavors, great nose - a little more body and this would have been sublime.

Purchased at Big Top (!) in Rosyln my hometown. Pours as black as my heart. Smell is of roasted malt with a hint of bourbon. Nice lacing. Tastes of smooth roasted malt with a bit of the bourbon. More carbonation than expected in a big RIS. A bit of etoh burn on the way down. This should age nicely. Recommended.

750ml bottle poured into a tulip.
Pours a pitch black color with a very thin dark. Brown head. Nose is lightly hot, it's vary dry, some coffee and chocolate but not over the top.
Taste dry, slightly dry, but my lips are sticky, there's a nice smoky finish, there is a nice with a light hop bite on the finish.

22oz bomber at cellar temp poured into a snifter. not freshness date. purchased this on my trip to erie, PA.
pours out super dark, opaque motor oil black, even watching this go into the glass, this thing is dark. a small fizzy brown colored head that faded to a thin ring within minutes. no lace.
maybe not the huge aroma i was expecting, but still quite nice. some rich, heavily roasted, burnt malt, big solvent alcohol, some coffee and cocoa, a little dark fruits. heavy on the coffee like burnt malt and big alcohol.
rich and full bodied. cocoa, coffee, extra roasted burnt malt. again the big alcohol is there, but nothing offending. definatly warms the palate in a nice way. some nice milk chocolate on the backend and a bit of oak in the finish. bitter deep roasted malt as well. creamy. low on the carbonation.
overall: a really nice impy stout, and im definatly glad i got a chance to try it. this should age nicely. i will definatly pick up more next time i visit erie, but there are a lot of better impy stouts out there, but definatly in my top 20.

Thanks to the Pittsburgh gang for sending this to the Cali gang!
Nearly black, though it's truly a very dark brown and dark ruby. The head is small, dark brown, and leaves the glass spotted and oily with stick. Pretty and appropriately thick and viscous.
Big notes of roast and coffee are front and center, along with mild chocolate, and a complementary oak presence. Rich and complete.
The flavor was even better than the aroma: big notes of roasted black malts, some coffee but not as much as in the aroma, bitter chocolate, mild sweetness, and a touch of bitterness. Really quite nice. This was a complete imperial stout and one of the highlights of my evening.
Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.

Picked up a pair of these at Capone's awhile back and thought I'd crack one open myself with a couple of friends after trading the other. Poured into my New Belgium snifter.
Appearance- Poured a thick, viscous black that wows my friends who are relatively new to big beers. A dark, dark, dark beer that yields about a half finger of brown head off of an aggressive pour. Head sticks around for awhile before fading down to a ring and a few residual patches. Some mild carbonation beads up the side of the glass and a good deal of stick lacing streaks down the side of the snifter as I drink.
Smell- A solid nose on this one. I pick up on a lot of burnt coffee and roasted malt backed up with smells bitter chocolate. None of the sharp astringency of a 12.5% alcohol content really coming through surprisingly and I suspect it is well hidden by the oak as a result.
Taste- This sure is an easy drinker. Lots of roasted malt and creamy bitter chocolate on the palate for me. Not as much of the burnt coffee comes through as I would have suspected from the nose but there is a lingering trace of it in the taste as well. Lots of smooth oakiness towards the end that pretty much completely hides the alcohol as I suspected. Really goes down easy.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- Silky, creamy, smooth. Thick but not overly oily. Not a lot of burning alcohol to detract from the drinkability despite the high alcohol content. Very rich with pleasantly minimal level of carbonation. Extremely high drinkability for the style in my opinion given the great mouthfeel and smooth taste with well hidden alcohol.
Overall, an excellent oak aged imperial stout. Rich, smooth, creamy, and goes down easy. Highly recommended if you have the chance to try it.

When it comes to paternal role models, some pretty memorable ones have been seen on our TV screens since the 1950s. HereÆs a list of 10 all-time favorites:
(Spoiler alert: Walter White of ōBreaking Badö does NOT make the list. Nor do any of the psychopaths from ōGame of Thrones.ö)
10. Danny Tanner, with assist from uncles Joey and Jesse - ōFull Houseö
A lot of folks will say gentle Papa Tanner should rank higher, but heÆs graded down a few points because of all the help he got from Uncle Joey (who was really no kin at all to the kids, but he was funny) and Uncle Jesse (who taught everyone the importance of having great hair).
9. Eric Taylor - ōFriday Night Lightsö
Again, a lot of folks will believe this TV dad should rate higher because of the way he dished out the tough love and motivation to not only his own family, but all the kids who played on his football teams. True, he did all that, but, honestly, he could be sort of a jerk sometimes. Remember when his wife was offered that fantastic job and he acted straight-up like a baby? Not cool.
8. Steven Keaton - ōFamily Tiesö
Able to put up with the full-blown Reagan-era conservatism from his son Alex on one side and the Valley Girl-esque bubbleheadeness from daughter Mallory on the other, and never once snapped. (Notice I make no mention of youngest daughter Jennifer. The show writers never knew quite what to make of her, and neither do I.)
7. Jim Bob Duggar - ō19 Kids and Countingö
Sure, people might question whether the dormitory-style living arrangements and ultra-rigid rules of social conduct are healthy for the children, but what cannot be questioned is his prodigiousness. The man can flat-out reproduce. If a comet came and wiped all men except one, heÆs the guy youÆd want left to repopulate the planet.
6. Lucas McCain - ōThe Riflemanö
I really canÆt remember anything at all about his style of parenting, but remember how he looked working that lever-action rifle in the opening sequence? That was awesome. I wish my dad could do that.
5. Mike Brady - ōThe Brady Bunchö
An argument could be made that an architect like himself should know that a four-bedroom, two-bath house really isnÆt sufficient for a household of nine, but he made up for that little fault by having the neighborhoodÆs sweetest artificial turf yard. No lawn-mowing chores for the Brady boys.
4. Howard Cunningham - ōHappy Daysö
One of the gentlest fathers on this list, he would have ranked higher if it were not for the disturbing way eldest son Chuck was shipped off and never spoken of again.
Page 2 of 2 - 3. Ward Cleaver - ōLeave it to Beaverö
Always quick to dispense some kind words of wisdom or consolation, Ward was an ideal dad for when a young man was troubled. He did, however, seem to have trouble relaxing. A business suit or a cardigan, those were pretty much his only outfits. A few days spent in shorts and t-shirt would have probably done him some good.
2. Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable - ōThe Cosby Showö
The funniest of all the fathers on this list, Dr. Huxtable was the very best at handling a house full of kids Ś some his own, some who just drifted through. But there is one thing that bothers: He never did explain why he named his youngest daughter ōRudy.ö Was he under some sort of delusion when she was born that she was a boy? I mean, he was an obstetrician. You wouldnÆt expect something like that to slip by him.
1. Andy Taylor - ōThe Andy Griffith Showö
He could play the guitar, he would take his son fishing, he had a relaxed attitude toward work-life balance ģ olÆ Andy was darned near perfect as a pop. He did such a good job raising Opie, in fact, that the boy grew up to be Richie Cunningham. ThatÆs some fine parenting, Sheriff Taylor.
