4.2/5 rDev -8.3%
poured into a wine glass at toronado SDBW 2010
2010 vintage
Poured a semi-hazy straw yellow. with a nice 2 fingers of white fluffy head.
the aroma is a mild funk with some bright lemon tartness.
the taste is pretty good. Upfront you get a mixturen of sweetness... kinda lemon, citrus maybe... in the middle of the palate you get the barnyard and funk coming out a bit with some more sweetness. The back of the palate is where the tartness kicks in a hits the throught a little bit.
over all a great beer. This vintage is certainly young and needs some more time to develop and creat the tart sour flavors that are missing!

Bottle at Toronado SD.
Pours a clear light peach color with almost one finger of white head. Head dissipates pretty quickly, but maintains a thin collar. Aromas of white grape, brett, light peach and mild funk. Funk is more pronounced in the taste, but is still on the mild side, with nice brett presence. Tart without being overly sour, with a nice white wine aspect to the taste, along with citrus, peach and nectarine. Quite easy drinking. Finish is tart and semi-dry. Mouthful is medium/light with a bit of creaminess. Nice carbonation level. I think I like DDG a bit more, but this is an excellent American wild.

2007 Cable Car, batch 1
Clear golden yellow color with a slight orange hue with a quickly dissipating white head, leaving only a ring around the glass. Lactic acid and citrus in the nose. There's some funkiness to it, but I get more tropical fruit than anything else. Lightly spicy on the tongue with some barnyard funk and a little bit of tropical fruit. As it warmed in the glass, the tropical fruit remained, but more of a foot-like Brett character came through. Medium high carbonation with a dry finish. Drinkability is exceptional; easy to drink a bunch of this, though availability won't allow it. Flavors aren't all that intense, but they are refined and lead to a good drinking experience.

A rare beer that lives up to its reputation. Pours hazy gold with an oily white ring. Lovely perfume nose, sour mash, brett, and butter. Quite sour up front with a rhubarb flavor. The sour slowly turns into a buttery dinner roll. Tannins and oak along with a bit of cheese show up, too. Very acidic at first, but mellows into a nicely vinuous beer.

Bottle (2009)
San Diego, CA
(Aged for 2.5 years)
Tasted side-by-side with the 2008 and 2010 vintages.
A bright, clear mixture of gold, yellow, and orange with a nicely-sized off-white head that doesn't last for long. This doesn't leave any cling on the glass, though this is indeed a nice looking beer.
This is a complete, wonderfully smelling American wild. There is lots of bright citrus (orange, tangerine, mango, and lemon) along with big levels of acidic sourness. There's some moderate funk complementing everything nicely. Very, very nice.
The flavor follows the aroma similarly, with lots of tangerine, lemon, and mango flavors, backed up by a high level of tart sourness, and mild barnyard funk. Complete and delicious, though not quite as complex as the very best within the style.
Medium bodied with moderate/high carbonation. A joy to drink.
Simply fantastic.
2008 Tasting Notes (Aged for 3.5 years):
Very little carbonation. No head, no cling. Less sour and less fruit flavors when compared to both 2009 and 2010 versions. Heavy, lifeless body. Easily, the weakest of our lineup.
2010 Tasting Notes (Aged 1.5 years):
Similar carbonation and appearance to 2009. More funk than fruit and not quite as sour as the 2009.

Pale orange color to this one. Slight ring of head around it. Amazing aroma, extremely tart, funky, nothing really fruity to it, beyond what you would think to be lemon based on the sheer tartness, but nonetheless, fantastic.
Taste = sour. Lemon, slight wood notes. Its actually pretty straightforward and not complex, just massively sour, extremely dry. Extremely light body to it, never feels heavy, nor alcoholic. Shit, if you could just chill on these around the pool in the backyard. Gets better as it warms, which I didn't think was possible at first it was so good.
Expensive. Can't get a perfect overall score when you're $40 and only available at 2 bars, one of which sucks ass.

My journey into sours' next stop is another long time want... '09 vintage.
Pours yellow with a large, white head.
Smells of citrus with grapes and peaches. Some vinegar with some puckering sourness.
A shockingly robust amount of citrus bombards the tongue. Mild sourness... am able to pick out those peaches and grapes I smelled. Wet hay and slight leather notes round it out. Delicious.
Perfect carbonation with some serious drinkability for a sour as it's not too sour. Amazing stuff.

Bottle consumed at Toronado San Diego - been waiting a while to try this one.
Pours a slightly hazy golden-peach color with a two-finger white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of funk - wet hay and leather is the best way I can describe it - along with good amounts of sugar-coated fruits - apricots, pears, and peaches, in that order.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Indistinct malt flavors serve as the backbone and allow funk and fruit flavors to run roughshod. A funkiness as described above permeates the flavor profile, although there's also a certain harsher (though not in a bad way) addition to the flavor profile via the oak. Ripe apricot and peach flavors are at the forefront with syrupt pear flavors lurking in the background. The ending is crisp and leaves just a hint of funkiness lingering on the palate.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a nice thickness with active carbonation.
Drinkability is great. I finished my glass very quickly and could easily have a few more. The flavors are all robust but manage to complement each other very well.
Overall this beer didn't disappoint. It isn't the best sour that I've ever had but it does come very close. Well worth the shot if you can get your hands on it.

Anyone that knows me knows that I've been trying extraordinarily hard to get a bottle of this. And anyone that has ever let it known that they've had a bottle knows this as well. I've offered well over $100 worth of very rare beers, many brewery only release and plenty with less than 1000 bottles made.
I've been drinking beers with Shane(beachbum1975) for the past 8-10months or so. We both trade way more than we should. We've always 'unspokenly' tried to one up one another. Well that mother fucker one upped me to end all one ups... but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying :)
This bottle was a belated Christmas gift and presented to Chris(Yetiman420), Steve(FtownThrowDown), and Me(and of course Shane), as a blind tasting for my 500th review. That bastard also just traded for a bottle of the beer I was getting him for a belated Christmas gift. What a D-Bag!
I honestly cannot express my thanks and gratitude, Shane. This was my Holy Grail beer and now my Lost Abbey bottle collection is finally complete, and what's a better way to do it than with a Tomme Arthur signed bottle of Cable Car! :D
750ml corked and caged brown bottle poured into a Duvel tulip. Shared with 3 great BAs.
A: Pours a very murky under ripened grapefruit peel color. A decent sized head forms and holds for a minute or so before falling to a few bubbles. Some spotty lacing throughout.
S: Loads of tart fruits. Lemon, orange, grapefruit, apricot, pineapple, cherries. Some astringent acids from the fruits adds to the tart and sour aromas. Funk is minimal but still lightly present with a touch of wet hay and maybe some light cider vinegar notes.
T/M: The tart and sour fruits are spot on to the nose. Lemon, pineapple, orange are more dominant with cherries and apricot or peach playing more in the back. Really a citrus explosion that is odd in that I normally experience this with loads of bitterness, which this obviously doesn't have. Funkiness is still at a minimum but still retains the wet hay and light cidery notes. I don't think it'd hurt to have some more funk. Tartness really starts to build toward puckering as it quickly warms. Some rustic woody and leathery notes form the barrels. Nice light to medium light body with perfect carbonation. Great dry finish that isn't too tart or abrasive.
D: Extraordinarily drinkable. I could drink this all day every day. The tartness and sourness doesn't linger too strong or long. Very good. Yet again, many thanks to you, Shane. You really made my day and you better watch your back when it's your turn to be given a milestone beer! And a million thanks to the one that traded this to Shane ;)

Leaky Cauldron's November Event Round UpLeakyLounge
As it is now a new month, we have a host of new activities going on all over The Leaky Cauldron. We have today the opening of two new book clubs, a communal holiday crafting event, and a brand new contest to bring you.
First up, our Harry Potter Book Club has started to read the sixth book in author J. K. Rowling's series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Relive the magic of Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts as you read deeper into the novels and discover moments from the book you may have missed before. Our Non-Harry Potter Book Club is doubling the fun in Jo's Book Nook, with the reading of two novels from the Chronicles of Narnia series: "The Horse and His Boy" and "Prince Caspian." Join your fellow Loungers to read these enchanting novels by author C.S. Lewis. Both of these book clubs opened their doors on Saturday, so do not delay in stepping in and reading along with your fellow Lounge members. If you are not yet a member of our Leaky Lounge forum, please register here.
Next, as the holiday season is approaching us, our Crafty Witches have launched their latest Craft-Along Event. Join us at TLC in making these beautiful Christmas Ornaments, instructions and tutorials for which can be found here. A gallery of completed ornaments are available as well. To keep with the holiday spirit of giving, we at TLC will also be sending our ornament crafts to our own Project Coordinator Doris who was effected by Hurricane Ike earlier this year. If you wish to join us in sending Doris one of your crafty creations, an address will be given shortly via this link to do so. Help and support for the thousands of people effected by Hurricane Ike can be given in a multitude of other ways, such charities as the Red Cross or Project C.R.A.Y.O.N., which have been helping many in the areas most ravaged by the storm. This crafting event lasts through December 1.
Finally, our Contest Crew has then been working hard on bringing you their November Contest, which asks you to write your own 600-word or less story about how the Fat Friar became a ghost at Hogwarts. This gives those interested a chance to write their own "Hogwarts: A History" entry for all to see. All work must be original and be consistent with traditional Harry Potter canon. As with all of our contests, an individual over the age of 13 and not part of the judging process may submit one, original, PG-13 appropriate work for consideration. All submissions must be received by November 30th by 11:59pm EST via email@example.com. The first place winner of this contest will receive their very own custom made wand courtesy of Wizard Wood Wands. Complete information can be found on the Contest Page as well as on the Leaky Lounge.
Good luck to all who enter!

So much for Caroline Wozniacki being soft. The top women's seed steamrolled Kai-Chen Chang, 6-0, 6-0, in the second round of the 2010 U.S. Open Thursday. Wozniacki needed a cool 46 minutes to complete the double bagel.
Chang, to be frank, had nothing in this match. Wozniacki hit only seven winners and still didn't drop a game.

Appearance This is a very dark brown in color with a thick, beautiful tanned head.
Smell The malts here are dark and roasty but not burnt. The coffee is huge with an equally large compliment of alcohol notes.
Taste The malts are very dark at the taste as well. I really enjoyed their complexity and could find little differences between the similar flavors. One moment a bit like straight coffee, the next maybe a hint of espresso, then another coffee flavor but a different blend, etc. I also found some light fruiting here that I didnt get from the nose.
Mouthfeel This is not quite medium-bodied with a light alcohol sting in the cheeks and a somewhat flat carbonation level.
Drinkability This is a good-drinking AP but I thought it was a bit thin to earn a high recommendation. It was a delightful mix though of complex malts and big coffee.
Comments Thanks to skyhand for bringing this to the pre-pre-pre RoyalT Moving Party.

A- Black pour with decent head
S- Serious coffe aroma, fairly one dimensional in the coffee aroma smell
T- Coffee taste very present but not really pleasant, tasted more like old coffee that had been sitting around the office or like somebody's coffee breath, earthy hops underneath that added to the stale coffee flavor, not balanced enough with malt/creamy creamy flavor
M-Fairly creamy but medium
D- I wouldn't come back to this one again.

Pours dark brown with minimal head floating around the edges.
Definite coffee notes followed by caramel and creamy smoothness.
Taste builds nicely as it warms but never overwhelms. The malt takes over and keeps any edginess under control.
A good beer that I thought at first would session well but slight cloying at the finish would make me want to shift to something else after one or two glasses.

Thanks to my dad for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a black color with a large tan head. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and a little bit of cayenne pepper.
The flavor is coffee and chocolate. I also get a little bit of roasted malt, but the black coffee and milk chocolate notes are what really stands out. Low bitterness.
Creamy, medium to thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bottle enjoyed at a recent beer tasting/reviewing/trading session - cheers Jeff for this!
Poured into a snifter. Dark black, like cold coffee, thin tan head, a bit of lacing. Sits in the glass like cold coffee.
Nose is a powerful blast of espresso coffee, spice, a bit of dark fruit, the usual porter notes.
I tried this alongside some pretty potent and heavy Imperial stouts, so I really had to pull back to make sure I did this lighter brew justice. Coffee flavor, spice, dark roasted malts. Surprisingly thin, however, as there wasn't a whole lot of backing to this brew. The coffee felt washed out and not nearly as robust as the nose had suggested. Still, an enjoyable coffee porter. Thin, slightly watery feel.

22oz bottle at fridge temp poured into a snifter.
pours out nearly black with one fingers worth of light tan colored head. average retention and lace.
very earthy, grassy hops, espresso beans are there but are thrown off a bit by the somewhat strange dirt like earthiness. roasted malts.
follows the aroma, slight dirt and grassy earthiness. again the coffee is there, espresso bean like, but tastes a bit off. a little hoppier than expected. light roast flavors.
a weak feel, medium to light in body, almost a bit watery.
overall, some nice coffee flavors, but this needed some more body for sure. also had an odd earthiness to it.

Bottle shared by a generous soul at 7:30 in the morning at Brick Store.
Pours a dark brown color with a half-finger tan head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of lightly roasted malts with good amounts of moderately bitter roasted coffee grounds. Also present are hints of semi-sweet chocolate.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though the coffee flavors are a bit smoother. Roasted malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by light roasted coffee flavors with hints of smoother espresso. Midway through the sip slightly bitter dark chocolate flavors come into play, fading out into a moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is alright. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass however I'm not sure about another.
Overall this was a surprisingly lackluster beer from MS. Their Brewtality coffee beer blew this one out of the water, so try to find that one first before falling back on this beer.

Thanks to brewdlyhooked13 for this bottle.
22oz. brown bomber poured into an imperial pint. Bottled 3rd week of September.
A: Pours deep brown, nearly completely opaque. 2+ big fingers of light khaki head forms on the rocky side but holds pretty good. Decent lacing throughout.
S: Stale, but pleasant, coffee nose. Loads of earthy spent coffee grounds. A light sweetness similar to cream.
T/M: Check this out, bro. Coffee. Does that not blow your mind? Yeah, no shit. Lots of the earthy and gritty coffee ground goodness found in the nose. Sweetness is much more controlled which is a bit of a let down. In its place is a very dry, slightly bitter character. Body is moderate and has a diet cola like fizzy carbonation feel.
D: Still a tasty brew because I love me some coffee porters. Easy enough to drink. I'm very glad I got a chance to try this but I'll probably seek out my porters elsewhere.

Bomber brought back from Portland, OR a month ago.
Served cold into a goblet, Arctic Rhino is a nearly black beer with thick off-white head that is slow to settle and leaves some nice lacing.
Aroma is rich and roasty with a great cold-press coffee smell.
Flavor is excellent - just what you would expect a coffee porter to offer - roasted malt and coffee beans, chocolate, and very mild smoke.
Mouthfeel is medium-light in body and nicely carbonated.
Overall a very delicious coffee porter. I really wish we could get it here in Colorado.

Im going to have to agree with irish evans on this one. he is after all a gentleman and a scholar! This is the best coffee porter i have ever had. very dark and robust. aside from meantimes coffee porter, nothing i have tried even nips at the heels of this rhino! intense coffee flavor yet still incredibly porter. pours with little light brown head. smooth and drinkable with a clean finish, drink with breakfast on a day you sleep in late, or if your just a beer geek. great buy, and an experience worth trying.

Bottled the second week of April (2010?). Poured from a 22oz bomber into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Opaque bistre liquid with a thin fizzy light khaki head. Sticky sandy lacing coats the sides.
Very potent coffee aromatics - fresh medium roast beans, along with faint roast malt notes. Earthy, sweet, with sandalwood overtones.
Pleasing vaguely tart palate entry full of rich toasted malt and roasted coffee. Once again the coffee is paramount, overwhelming the beer base to some degree, making it difficult to evaluate. Faint lactic tartnes and alcohol warmth round out the finish and suggest a cream foil to the coffee bean flavor. Hints of cocoa and citrus/cherry in the finish.
Silky, medium-light bodied, moderately carbonated, and lightly astringent.
Serve as part of a "balanced breakfast."

Many thanks to guinnessdoc for this one. Yet another fine beer from the Secret Santa BIF. Thanks, Josh.
Arctic Rhino pours a very dark chocolate brown color. It's nearly opaque. A faint amount of light at the edges reveals some nice garnet highlights. Sitting atop is a light mocha brown head that stood around a finger or so tall. It receded quickly and left light strands of lace behind.
The nose is pretty impressive. A strong roasted coffee flavor resonates throughout. As a coffee fan, that's a good thing for me. For others, maybe not so much. Coffee certainly smells prominent. A good mix of roasted and chocolate malts are noted. It smells a little bittersweet. But, coffee's still pretty much running the show. Smells like there's some molasses and licorice at the secondary level. They're clearly complementary and never come through very strong. Nice additions to the mix nonetheless. Brown sugar sweetness is strong on the tail. This is damn good smelling stuff.
My first impression is that this is really good beer. Roasted coffee and a little espresso kick it off and don't relent much throughout. If you're not into coffee, you probably won't be into this beer much. The coffee force is very strong with this one. Roasted and chocolate malts are present and complement the coffee flavor nicely. I can't help but think those aspects seem a little light. Overall, I'd prefer a little more malt presence. It is somewhat bittersweet, but is balanced to a large degree by a sweet brown sugar flavor. Licorice and molasses are noted, but are somewhat faint. I still like the impact they have. Overall, this is good stuff. I like it. I'd like a little more malt flavor. Small gripe.
Arctic Rhino is anything but a beast. Its body is light and thin. More body would be good. This is more penguin-esque than rhino. Carbonation is pretty well restrained. Ultimately, it nearly feels smooth, but could use more malt to get there. Drinkability is very high. I'm liking it quite a bit. It's relatively tame for a rhino and goes down easy. The coffee flavor is really nice and keeps drawing me back.
This is my first go with a Midnight Sun beer. I'm impressed. I like this one. Perhaps my affinity for coffee has tainted my view of it a little, but I can't help it. It's good stuff. It'd be a little better with more malt to give it a more substantial body and a little more Porter flavor. Just my $.02. But, this is a far cry from bad beer. On the contrary, it's very good stuff and is well worth seeking out, especially if you're into coffee.

Bomber from the now defunct Liquid Solutions.
Excellent appearance: black in color with a massive tan head that never goes away. I had this during the Super Bowl and some d-bag at the party asked, "What is that, a mochaccino?" I told him that no, it was a real beer, gesturing toward the Miller Lite can in his hand.
Aroma is lots of roast and coffee along with maybe some slight oxidative notes.
Flavor is pretty good but doesn't have all that much going on. Sharp, bitter roasted malt and coffee really stand out. There is a little cardboard/oxidation going on. Maybe this bottle is past prime - I'll have to try it again.
Medium-bodied with some coffee bitterness and perhaps a little more carbonation than would be ideal. Very dry.
Overall, well, this was all right, but as I watched the Super Bowl, I couldn't help but think how whereas most Midnight Sun beers I've had have been "super" and have "bowl"ed me over, this one wasn't and didn't.

Took a flyer on this even thought wasn't rated that high, obtained from Liquidsolutions
Pours an effervescent ebony with 4 fingers of mocha head. Zero head retention & minmal lacing
S: Coffee & dark chocolate & licorice & sarsaparilla right at the end, by far the best feature of this brew
T: Coffee beans, dryness & a smidge of iron up front. Roasted wet grain & coffee grounds as this warms, plus just a touch of chocolate. Finishes dry, with a whisper of chocolate & more coffee, almost pulled a 4.0
MF: Light/medium bodied, slight astringency that fades as this warms, starts to smooth out & get a little oily
Drank alright, I need something besides coffee to hold my attention when it comes to porters, If you dig coffee beers, you may disagree

22 oz bottle into a pint glass. Thanks to AKBelgianBeast for including this in a trade.
Pours black (with a bit of ruby along the bottom)with 2 fingers of burnt mocha colored head that starts out foamy but then settles into a fizzy retention. Not much lace is to found. The aroma is astringent coffee grounds, some espresso, and light notes of balancing caramel.
The taste is once again coffee grounds (with a slight sour character) lactic millk notes, subtle roasted malts, and a caramel sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a bit of a prickly feel but the overall carbonation seems a little flat at times.
Not quite what I was expecting. The coffee character came off a little too much like burnt coffee grounds and neither the look or feel were very impressive. Maybe I waited a bit long to consume this, as the overall character just didn't come off as very fresh or exciting.

Pours a dark brown, near black, color with a short dense khaki colored head that settles into a light ring.
The aroma is of freshly ground coffee. There are some chocolate notes as well as some caramel malt. Some lemony tea like scents as well.
The flavor is a mixture of ground coffee and chocolate. The coffee flavor is very fresh. There is some standard porter flavors; caramel malt and a dry lemony tea. The coffee really stands out and is tastey. The tea flavors seemed to come out more as the beer warmed.
The feel is moderate with tingly carbonation. Feels a touch light for the style. Despite the strong coffee flavor, it doesn't finish all that bitter. A bit of a lingering coffee aftertaste.
Very good coffee porter at only 5%abv. Drinks well, though the coffee flavor lingers a bit too long.

Poured from a bomber to a snifter, the liquid is close to black and has very good carbonation. The Head is very tall 2 plus fingers dark tan and leaves some lace.
The smell is very coffee like, really nice not the watered down kind, just fresh beans.
The taste is great his is a very well done coffee brew, then coffee is strong, black and fresh. The rest is a nice porter, good roasty malt and nice hops for very good balance.
The mouthfeel is just right for a porter, good carbonation and the body is just better then medium.
The drinkability is very good, I fine brew I would have again.
Prosit, MK

A Third Party Run by McCain?
by Matt Stoller, Wed Jan 04, 2006 at 03:26:08 PM EST
John McCain feels that it was not the "religious right" who beat him last time. He believes that the "Republican establishment" had already pre-committed to Bush and there was not enough space for him. One of the reasons why he has been picking his battles -- like the anti-torture stand he took -- and otherwise playing way, way nice with the Bush White House is to win over that establishment that is not yet precommitted to another candidate.
If McCain did lose to George Allen in the Republican primary, he might just pull an Independent run -- and I don't think it would be bad for the country.
The interesting reality is that if McCain was nominated by the Republican Party, I think that Hillary Clinton has a very, very tough challenge -- as she is far more polarizing than he is. If George Allen and John McCain were both in the race vs. Hillary, her chances dramatically increase -- unless McCain is able to draw off support from both of them in relatively equal amounts.
These are all hypotheticals that I find interesting to ponder. Some will argue that pondering this sort of line up is advocating it. It's not, so settle down.
Fascinating stuff. Interesting how tactically McCain is acting for someone who is apparently so principled.

The Occupy Wall Street protests, which just entered their second month, have spilled over into the art world in recent weeks. Protests have been held at Sotheby's, and now a group calling itself Occupy Museums announced today that it will assemble at Zuccotti Park, the headquarters of the protests, on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 3 p.m., and then travel to the Museum of Modern Art and the Frick Collection, reading a manifesto at each stop along the way.
"We're at a moment where the one percent controls the government and the culture," Mr. Fischer, 34, who has been involved in organizing Occupy Museums, told Gallerist over the telephone. "With Occupy Museums, we are encouraging people to think about who museums serve, and calling the art world out on its elitism and its abuse of labor. The conversation is very, very important here."
Disclosure: this writer took a drawing class as an undergraduate with Mr. Fischer in 2006, though we have not been in contact since then.
A text from Occupy Museums has been posted on blogger Paddy Johnson's Tumblr account. It begins as follows:
"The game is up: we see through the pyramid schemes of the temples of cultural elitism controlled by the 1%. No longer will we, the artists of the 99%, allow ourselves to be tricked into accepting a corrupt hierarchical system based on false scarcity and propaganda concerning absurd elevation of one individual genius over another human being for the monetary gain of the elitest of elite."
The group does not plan to occupy the museum beyond its regular visiting hours, according to Mr. Fischer. "This is about making a statement about democracy, to let the museums know we're here," Mr. Fischer explained. "We'll see if that happens another time."
Mr. Fischer, who attended Columbia's MFA program, said that he has been involved in the Occupy Wall Street protests since they started a little over a month ago, and is a member of the arts and culture committee, which has been organizing actions related to the protests.
Gallerist asked how the group picked its targets. "MoMA has long been associated with the elitist of the elite of the art establishment," Mr. Fischer said. "That doesn't mean it's a bad place, and it doesn't mean that the art there isn't good, but it shouldn't be charging $25 to get in."
"We are conditioned to accept all kinds of hierarchies and worship money," Mr. Fischer said. "A lot of what is going on in Occupy Wall Street is that we are creating a space to unlearn those kinds of things."
Go occupy a job
99% have bought a lot of art and financed many struggling artists.
what a pity Mr. Fisher is unaware of having been the victim of channeling: his entire ethos seems circa 1910 Russia — certainly he can write no better – unless of course he is simply the What Makes Sammy Run Opportunist of the present Celebrity Cult.
[...] Occupy Wall Street's gotten artsy by planning to 'Occupy Museums' this afternoon at sites including the MoMa. Perhaps they'll check out the de Kooning exhibit while they're at it. {NYObserver} [...]
So it begins… this kind of critique is always productive — cf. Hans Haacke's career. (His retrospective, BTW, is being organized in Spain under a socialist government, natch.) The act that launched the Art Workers Coalition in 1969 today seems almost beyond comprehension — "They have exhibited my work without my permission," said Takis in organizing the initial action in MoMA. The result was a widespread a thorough-going critique of the institional exhibition system which went on for several years. The response was a changed pattern of exhibition and curation on the part of the museums… The time now is ripe for something similar, I'd say. -Alan W. Moore, author "Art Gangs: Protest and Counterculture in NYC"
[...] [Via Gallerist NY] [...]
[...] the protest all along, with an eye towards future exhibitions. Even with the art-world spin-off Occupy Museums, meant to get "people to think about who museums serve, and calling the art world out on its [...]

7Nobody Takes Courtney Stodden Seriously
And could you, with her wearing this kind of stuff ALL the F-CKING TIME?
The latest on Courtney, however, is not necessarily how useless we think she is, it's how useless other people think Courtney Stodden is, and by "other" people, I mean "people who might have influence over her 'career'." No, Courtney and her grandpappy husband, Doug Hutchison, were kicked off 'Couples Therapy' this past week because Courtney refused to wear more appropriate clothing for a session or something. I don't know. I only watch highlights of the show, personally, because I can't stomach Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison side by side for more than thirty-eight seconds at a time anyway. But if you are one of the ones watching the show, fear not—Courtney and Doug were only banished for a day as "punishment." A rep for VH1 said:
"I think that Courtney hadn't fully thought out the repercussions of her actions … Courtney is not used to people actually enforcing the rules with her."
Courtney later Tweeted:
"Dr. Jenn handled the situation tonight impeccably as a therapist & a human being with a heart."
And you know, I feel like we do nothing, really, but spew negativity about Courtney Stodden and her situations and circumstances and … well, clothing choices. So here's me, saying something nice about girlfriend—this is the most clothing she's ever worn at one time, and even though it would appear she's trying to channel Taylor Momsen with the flat-ironed, stringy platinum hair (and those g-ddamn stripper stillettos), she's … well, this is the most clothing she's ever worn at one time, and it happened in these pictures.

She's just another bimbo, that married an older guy.
She is like a trainwreck i cant look away,
Taylor Momsen, Courtney… is this thing a trend?
At least Taylor actually does something!
Hey at least she's kinda covered ! Lol !
I saw one episode it's grosser than you can imagine!
This is possibly the best she's ever looked… I feel weird writing this, but this look isn't *ALL* that bad? Ignoring those fugly stripper shoes, of course.
I agree, actually. :) I like the really straight hair.

A Hair-Raising Beginning
For actor Chad Duell, it was supposed to be the best of times, except that he made his first appearance as Michael Corinthos III at the worst of times. Duell, as Michael, found himself in the center of the big Claudia Zacchara murder trial -- and that's how he started as Michael! Rather than let the previous Michael, Drew Garrett, finish that particular story arc, the producers let him go in the middle of it. As the new Michael, Duell not only had to start at a histrionic high (and learn 50-60 pages of dialogue in one day), but he could practically feel the resentment from fans as he was doing so. On top of which, he had bad hair.
The Winding Road to Michael
The Arizona native heard from his mother, a hairdresser, immediately, on the subject of his hairstyle. The last thing Duell was thinking about was his hair, but he didn't like the way it looked either and had it cut. He then continued to win over fans and coworkers as Michael. At 23, Duell is more mature-looking than Drew Garrett and has a deeper voice. It took some getting used to, as viewers liked Drew Garrett. The actors liked Garrett, too.
It's obvious, given the Pentonville storyline, that the producers felt they needed a less boyish actor. Duell auditioned for the role of the older Michael originally, and got close to the role. The casting people liked him, and he was brought in to audition for another role. That character, who was intended as a love interest for Kristina, was never introduced on the show. (Sort of like Valentine, the most evil of all Cassadines, whom we never saw.) Then, during a three-day whirlwind, he became Michael and seems to have won everyone over with his excellent acting. He credits Steve Burton for all his help in the beginning, and gets along very well with his other co-stars.
Moving to Los Angeles
Born September 14, 1987, Chad Duell attended Mountainside Middle School and Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was active in football and drama in high school. Upon graduation, Duell moved to LA to pursue his dream of acting professionally. In 2008, he landed his first job, as Holden in The Suite Life on Deck. He did two episodes. This was followed by The Wizards of Waverly Place as Ronald Longscape, Jr., for two episodes. He was cast in 2010 on General Hospital and debuted on April 20, 2010.
Duell is a huge football fan, particularly of the Arizona Cardinals. The 6' tall actor loves to swim, box, run track and field, and, of course, play football. He enjoys playing video games. He'd also love a chance to appear on Dancing with the Stars.
Since joining the cast of General Hospital, Duell has gotten married and divorced. He is currently dating his GH costar, Kristen Alderson.

Singh Secures Lion For 2 Years & Prepares For Uplisting
I believe it was November of 2011 when I first bought shares of ImmunoCellular Therapeutics (NYSEMKT:IMUC). Clearly, the data was good, and the investment has performed well, but there are always questions regarding the legitimacy of a small biotechnology company. I performed research, assessed the risk to reward, and over a period of time had several conversations with Dr. Manish Singh.
Singh took IMUC from a small $5 million company to a $200 million company. Since his departure from IMUC, its stock has lost value. Hence, I have always admired his willingness to create shareholder value, so I bought shares in his new company Lion Biotechnologies (OTCQB:LBIO) at $5 a share.
First off, I have already published an article looking at the technology of the company. Like IMUC, Lion has data that is far superior to anything in the market today, for the treatment of melanoma. The difference is that Lion has conducted studies on more than 100 patients at four different sites. IMUC has only 16 patients with data conducted at one site, thus creating more risk.
With that said, I am writing this instablog in response to what I believe is a game changer. My initial concern with Lion was that the company had no cash. Singh essentially had to start from scratch, and my belief was that he'd be lucky to raise $5-$10 million in his first financing attempt. But today (October 31) the company announced that it has entered into definitive agreements with institutional and other accredited investors to raise approximately $23 million in a private financing.
So, why am I posting an instablog and making a big deal about this agreement. Honestly, it is not really worthy of a published article but I am impressed because of its size. With this deal, Singh shows that investors are willing to follow him into an investment.
This financing completely transforms the company. It is being backed by strong life science funds and gives the company two years of cash, which is significant because previously they didn't have any cash. As a result, this strengthens the investment outlook, and gives investors a reason to be optimistic.
Lastly, I am impressed that Singh is following his previous pattern at IMUC. Lion is an OTC stock, but with this financing and its market cap near $100 million we can expect an uplisting to the NASDAQ just like with IMUC under Singh's leadership.
With all things considered, I think this financing could be an interesting discussion point. Personally, part of my value investing strategy revolves around management (ie XPO Logistics (NYSE:XPO) has been my largest position since Bradley Jacobs took over three years ago). Therefore, I believe that Singh can make this company special with his operational strategy, and that this financing is the first step in creating long-term shareholder value.

NeoStem's Dr. Losordo Responds To Negative Seeking Alpha Piece
If you are reading this, chances are you're familiar with NeoStem's double digit losses on Monday.
The losses were in response to a negative Seeking Alpha article that questioned the ability of autologous stem cells to improve functional outcomes. Thus, the conclusion was that AMR-001's outlook was bleak, and a small speculative penny stock, that has been heavily hyped as of late, was the beneficiary of NeoStem's "future failure".
As a result of this article, and the performance, I reached out to Dr. Douglas Losordo, who is NeoStem's Chief Medical Officer. Now, before you say that his opinion is not neutral, or that his words aren't reliable, you should understand that he was just recently hired for this position. Previously, he held management roles at Baxter, and founded their Phase 3 CD34+ cell therapy product, which is now one of Baxter's most promising products. As a result, Losordo is widely considered to be one of the most knowledgeable regarding CD34 cell development.
Several hours after my request, I received an email with Losordo's statement, which was very telling. Now, he is a prominent cardiologist who is much wiser than myself, speaking a language that may be difficult to understand. Therefore, I am including his reply along with a few notes (in bold) along the way for readability.
Losordo's response to bearish claims
Hard to claim the Capricor (CADUCEUS) cells didn't work (Losordo is referring to the noted study in the article, which was key to the author's negative outlook)….there was actually a positive signal for efficacy, but the study was very small and subject to type 2 error - plainly said it was too small of a trial to document benefits in clinical outcomes, so the fact that it didn't do so is expected (Losordo explains that no data conclusions could be drawn from such a study - it was too small to have a sufficient . statistical power.
If the control group had such high event rates that a clinical benefit was shown, that would be a problem (maybe the trial was done incorrectly?)! But just for the sake of discussion let's say that the Caduceus cells don't work -- why should AMR-001? Of course, to address this question one needs to ignore the fact that this entertains a notion that one cell's failure or success predicts the fate of others - no one would posit this about small molecules or biologics. (Here you have a very wise man in this field essentially poking fun at the analysis and conclusions drawn from this "study". He is looking at hypotheticals to rip apart the conclusion. As an investor, you have to love this level of confidence)
The CD34 cell, the therapeutic being testing in the phase 2 study, is one of the principal cells that is naturally called upon during any ischemic insult to help protect/repair the vasculature (due to its regenerative abilities). That story is very well documented and it has been reiterated by multiple labs in pre-clinical and clinical models. At least 4 randomized double-blinded, controlled human clinical trials have shown a positive signal for efficacy and safety of CD34 cell therapy for ischemic tissue repair (Losordo should know, his work has been instrumental in advancing this therapy). Is there any other CV cell therapy that has that track record?
Even those not intentionally studying CD34 cells have shown the relationship between CD34 cell content and clinical outcome in their studies (Zeiher, Perin) (Essentially saying that the benefit of CD34 cells is so clear that it is shown even when not studied) By comparison the cardiosphere is a melange of cells not defined in nature by a response to injury as far as we know - the cardiosphere itself was created as a result of the development of manufacturing methods to derive a cell product containing potential progenitors and repair cells.
One of the best characterized and perhaps most potent of the cells contained within cardiospheres, ckit+ cells, are likely a minority of those delivered. An autologous prep of cardiospheres showed a positive signal of bioactivity in the clinical trial and could work for cardiac repair even though there may be variable potency due to the manufacturing method (Remember, manufacturing is an important piece of any product's success).
Notably Capricor has shifted to an allogeneic approach for which there is no human data at this time (the noted study wasn't even using the same nor was it using a proven approach, yet the author chose to draw conclusions based on this study). In essence comparing CD34 cells to the cells of Caduceus is not rational and using what amounts to a positive study to claim negativity of the field belies some other purpose than scientific discourse (enough said, I couldn't agree more….. could it be to pump Sunshine?).
The End
There you have it, one of the wisest men in this field with a personal response to the criticism.
Therefore, if you sold on Monday, then that's fine, you have that right. But if it was because of the bearish article, then I think you'll live to regret it, as it holds little meaning in this particular conversation of AMR-001 and NeoStem.

Brian Nichols' Portfolio Positions As Of 6/15/2012
Last time I reported my holdings was on 4/25/2012. I honestly didn't realize that it had been so long. Therefore, I determined it was time to update, as I have been very busy this last month. I also thought I would try something new, and show the performance of my holdings from the time I last reported. First, here are the stocks I sold, and my total return:
(NYSE:HOG) 41% overall return. It was my 8th largest position on 4/25
Current holdings from largest to smallest along with performance since 4/25
(NYSE:XPO) 8% = limit order $40 $90
(NASDAQ:SPPI) 22% = limit order = $25, $50
(NYSE:S) 26% = limit order $6, $10
(NYSE:F) (9%) = limit $13, $18
(NYSE:ALU) (13%) I continue to hold the large position because I first bought the stock so cheap. I am now about even, but have set a limit order to exit the position at $2.50
(NYSE:MA) (1%) Have limit order at $500.
(NYSEMKT:IMUC) 20% uplisted to NYSE tons of upside
(NASDAQ:ZAGG) (6%) limit $20
(NASDAQ:GALE) EVEN -- Have more than doubled return since I bought. Will not sell for at least three years. I am waiting this one out
(NASDAQ:JVA) (33%) -- Common sense suggests that I should sell. But I only invested $2,000 into the company. It is my smallest position therefore I will hold
New Positions Since 4/25
(NASDAQ:ONTY) @$3.80 3% gain
(NASDAQ:QCOR) @$40 = 20% return with limit order at $60
(NASDAQ:NBS) @$0.3473 = 35% gain = limit order at $0.95
On 4/25 I had a cash balance of $52,217 that was not invested in stocks or bonds. Today I have a cash balance of $44,217 after $9,968 returned from HOG and investments of $10,000 in QCOR, $5,000 in ONTY, and $3,000 in NBS. Any questions or comments please feel free to use the section below for discussions.

Michael Haynie (Wicked), Julia Mattison (Godspell), Lexi Rabadi, George Salazar (Godspell) and Wesley Taylor (The Addams Family, "Smash").

Jasper in Deadland was commissioned by the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program, where it received a premiere workshop presentation in August 2011. For more on the work and composer-lyricist Oliver, read Playbill.com's Contemporary Musical Theatre Songwriters You Should Know.
The band features Micah Burgess on guitar, Eric Day on bass, Jessie Reagen Mann on cello and Jeremy Yaddaw on drums.
Other members of the creative team include Jen Littlefield (assistant director), Addison O'Donnell (assistant music director), Kristina Vnook (production stage manager) and Coleman Annison (assistant stage manager). Patrick Catullo is the producing mentor on this NEO reading.

A hoss is a level higher than a boss. In other words, the guy who gives orders for others to give orders in order to give other people orders and so on and so forth. If you are a hoss, you are a level one beneath God. A hoss is pretty much a divine, or glorious, bad ass mother fucker.

PHOENIX -- Collin Cowgill credits his recent success to a clear head.
"It was more about pressure than anything," Cowgill said. "I put a lot of it on myself.
So the 25-year-old Cowgill found someone to take it off.
After meeting with Peter Crone, the D-backs' mental skills coach, the outfielder recorded multi-hit games in back-to-back starts, including a career-high four-hit performance on Sunday against the Padres.
"He just tried to help me find a way to relax and not worry about what's already happened, because it's not going anywhere, it's already on paper," Cowgill said. "He said, 'Just stop thinking about that. It's a waste of energy and a waste of time.'"
Cowgill is hitting .217 (13-for-60) in his young Major League career, but Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said that he could see a certain sense of calm in Cowgill -- beginning in Sunday's game, in which he notched his first career home run.
"I felt a lot more calm, a lot more relaxed and I saw the ball better," Cowgill said. "I've been talking to Peter and I just kind of decided to forget whatever's happened, because it's the past and there's no sense in looking at it any more."
Also helping were the consistent at-bats, after Cowgill received only one plate appearance in his previous three games.
"It's nice to know that if you don't get a hit in your first at-bat, you have a couple more to get back in the swing," Cowgill said.
Message received: Parra excelling for Arizona
PHOENIX -- D-backs manager Kirk Gibson has spoken about how it's becoming time for left fielder Gerardo Parra to step up.
It seems that Parra has received the message.
In Tuesday night's 9-4 victory over the Rockies, Parra recorded a career-high four hits and fell a home run short of the cycle.
"I feel good," Parra said. "But when you win, everything is good."
After playing sparingly early in the season, the 24-year-old has emerged as the D-backs' everyday left fielder and has recorded three multi-hit games in his past six.
As a result, Parra has found his way into the No. 2 hole more often.
"I'm good with whatever," Parra said. "In the top or the bottom, when I see that I'm in the lineup, that's when I'm happy. I play the same way no matter which spot I'm in."
His arm in left field has also been a big factor for the D-backs defensively, as teams are shying away from taking the extra base or trying to tag up on him. Parra recorded his ninth outfield assist by throwing out Colorado's Dexter Fowler in Wednesday's first inning.
"I'm ready for everything," Parra said. "If a guy's running or not, I'll be ready."
There's a method to Gibson's lineup madness
PHOENIX -- You wouldn't understand if he tried to explain it to you.
That's how D-backs manager Kirk Gibson sums up penciling in his lineup every day.
"You really wouldn't," he said. "There's so many things that go into this little crazy mind of mine. You just process it and process [the information] until you feel it."
The 55-year-old skipper said he gets to the park around noon each day, watches film, looks at numbers, player matrices -- where he logs their playing time -- and does it all over again.
"I ran into [bench coach Alan] Trammell at coffee today, we talked a little bit about it," he said of Wednesday's lineup, which included Chris Young, Ryan Roberts and Paul Goldschmidt a day after they were given a rest.
"Then I write a lineup and sit it on my desk, and Tram will come by and he'll look around and say, 'Got one? You thinking about one?' And then eventually I have a white card I'll put out there."
Gibson noted that among other things, matchups and a real commitment to get his whole team action come into play.
"Those guys all felt good about who they were and how they were going to compete," Gibson said of Tuesday night's substitutions. "And that's part of our strength."

How can I allow Group admins to add members to groups without an invitation?
Hello! I am using BuddyPress to set up a website in which I want Group admins to be able to add members to groups without sending the member an invitation and requiring their approval. (I know this is usually bad user experience, but there is a good reason for it in this case, I promise.
I have looked at InviteAnyone, which gets me one step closer to my goal because it allows Group admins to invite anyone without requiring them to be Friends first. But I want to go one step further and remove the invitation process when adding someone to a group. Is there a plugin or a simple tweak that could do this?
(I found one related thread, but it is 2+ years old and the solution did not work when I tried to implement it on the latest version of the InviteAnyone plugin: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/invite-anyone/forum/topic/automatic-add-to-groups-including-private-ones/?_wpnonce=c8dd5d7953#post-137582)
Thank you in advance!!

Watch the World's Worst Parallel Parker
Parallel parking can be tough. But it can also be oh-so-entertaining.
Parallel parking can be tough. But it can also be oh-so-entertaining.
The best part about the future is we don't know what's going to happen. If you told me that everyone would have a pocket device that could give you the weather, listen to music, call people and surf the internet 10 years ago, I would've laughed. Now, here we are doing exactly that. What about our roads of the future? While many of our roads are in need of reconstruction, the Netherlands are already working on roads that glow in the dark, warn you if it's icy and charge your electric car while driving on them.
Toyota Motor Corporation announced on Wednesday that it will recall more than seven million vehicles to fix a power window issue that the manufacturer says could present a risk for fire.
According to a press release issued by the Japanese automaker, the voluntary recall is to inspect and apply special fluorine grease to the driver's-side Power Window Master Switch (everyone's favorite car part) because it may become "notchy" when operated.
Your vehicle might be a little bit safer this year against auto theft than it has been in the past, but according to a new report, you might just want to hang on to that security system and full coverage insurance for awhile.

The hotel was around a lot of good food an bar. Not far from downtown. The staff were very nice.
Check out time. Lol
noise, the neighborhood, the small room of breakfast
i liked the people in front office, they recommended the nice places to travel and always helping us
the breakfast itself and the place of resturant was very poor ... and very hot A/C was always out of order .... the location of the hotel was bad.

Lady at the Front Desk was extremely helpful.
Wi-Fi temperament; Breakfast room was way too small
The receptionist was lovely; really helpful and welcoming. Breakfast included Swimming pool Proximity to metro station
Our children did not feel totally at ease walking along 6th Street to the metro station.
Hotel was comfortable and clean and reception staff very helpful.
Breakfast was very crowded and difficult to get to the food
It took more than 6 hours to get checked in our hotel room! Then they didn't have the room type we requested and was compensated with only $10 off the daily rate. We requested for extra sets of towels 3 times during our stay and they never arrived. Parking lot was very small and limited and we had to park in the street twice, even though we were charged for daily parking. All in all, I will NEVER go back to this hotel again.
We had over 300 people checking in for an event we had and we were there since 9am. They refused to check us in until 3pm. They could have at least let us know when they could accommodate us. They only had one person working behind the counter. We did not get called to check in until 3:30 and our room still s not ready. We had to wait another 20 minutes or so. A lot of the people from our church were not able to make the opening service for the event because they were still checking people in and this was already passed 6:30.
Room size is adequate
The air con was very noisy The carpet was not so clean
Clean, good breakfast in the mornings
The location, easy enough to get to but not a lot of food choices in the area
10mins with the car to the universal Studios, 20mins to Hollywood, parking infront of the hotel

Little Harwood residents ready to go on the warpath
3:00pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
HOUSEHOLDERS in Little Harwood will hold a public meeting, attended by council chiefs, on Thursday to discuss the deterioration of their local environment.
The organisers hope to set up a residents' association for Bank Hey, Sunny Bower and Stonehill to look after the area.
Liz and Bob Lawson of Bank Hey Lane South have called the meeting after a footpath at the end of the lane became overgrown.
They are concerned about the way Blackburn with Darwen Council has handled new development at the end of the pathway with lorries using the lane on a regular basis.
The circular advertising the meeting at Little Harwood Community Centre at 6pm on Thursday asks for residents to attend 'to show your interest in finding a solution for the present problem with the formation of a residents association'.
It highlights the confusion over whether the end of Bank Hey Lane South is a footpath or a highway, and concern that while the end section remains a footpath that is marked off by bollards, the remainder has become a vehicle thoroughfare. The calling notice says: "The public 'pathway' is now widened, allowing for the passage of lorries and other heavily-laden vehicles, resulting mud and piles of earth spoiling what is still a public walkway."
It says when 4.75 acres of land was privately-sold three years councillors assured residents that 'not a dog kennel would be permitted and certainly no-one could reside there'. Since then part has been tarmacced and two static homes and a hen shed had appeared and the grassy path alongside the playing field fenced off and become 'overgrown'.
The circular adds: "If you are concerned about the change in the quality of our local environment, the loss of amenities and the risk to the safety of the many of us who use the area for pleasure, dog-walking as a route to schools, work etc, show your interest by attending the meeting."
Little Harwood councillor Pat McFall said: "I shall be attending the meeting on Thursday.
"I am aware of local residents concerns and I am hopeful all the problems can be resolved amicably.
"Setting up a residents association seems a good idea. There has been a successful one at Roe Lee for many years."

The Downers Grove Police Department will host a community panel discussion Thursday on the growing problem of heroin abuse in the village.
Parents, educators and young adults are encouraged to attend the forum, which will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Downers Grove North High School (Purple Gym), 4436 Main St.
Speakers will include Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter; Kathleen Burke, Chief Executive Officer for the Robert Crown Center for Health Education; DuPage County States Attorney Robert Berlin; DuPage Metropolitan Enforcement Group (DUMEG) Director Matt Gainer; and members of the Downers Grove Police Department Tactical Unit.
Also attending is John Roberts, co-founder of HERO, the Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization. Roberts is a Homer Glen resident and retired Chicago police captain, who lost his 19-year-old son to a heroin overdose in 2009.
The following year, he founded HERO with Brian Kirk, another Homer Glen dad who lost his son to an overdose. Together, Roberts and Kirk have organized rallies and spoken at several forums to raise awareness of the heroin epidemic in suburban Chicago.
The format for the Downers Grove program will include a brief presentation by each speaker, followed by an opportunity to respond to questions from the audience.
Citizens may also request the National Child Safety Council "Confusions 11" booklet, a comprehensive guide to street drugs. The material is recommended for anyone that is not able to attend the forum.
To request a copy of "Confusions 11" at no cost, contact Downers Grove Public Education Manager Marion Heintz at 630-434-5606 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
