Shadowy raven body. Utterly starless yet not necessarily thick looking. No noticeable sediment. Froth is initially large and the color of melted Hershey chocolate bars. It almost immediately dissipates to nothing. Aroma is just as I expected it to be and just as any aroma for an RIS should be: Coffee and chocolate primarily with a touch of vanilla and a pinch of toffee. In addition, Dark Horizon boasts some powerful Baltic Porter like dark fruit aromas and flavors of figs and grapes. Flavor/mouthfeel is boozy but not in a distracting way rather in a warming and flavorful way. It contains strong coffee liquor notes, dark fruits, coffee beans, toffee syrup, and hints of woody vanilla. Touches of spice touch the tongue from time to time giving the sensation, but necessarily flavor of cinnamon or nutmeg. Considering the ABV, I dont think one can rate drinkability of this beer a whole lot lower than flawless. The strength becomes and issue over time, however, it never quite unbalances the beer. Its pretty remarkable. Even at $22, Dark Horizon is well worth a try.

Dark is apt, as the beer poured a thick, dark, black color with a frothy tan head. I discerned a fig or prune scent at first. It was gentle on the tongue, and there was a coffee flavor with a winelike mouthfeel. A few sips later, there were some changes, like it started to get more of a bite. Strong tastes of chocolate and coffee grounds without the bitterness associate with both. It started feeling like sparkling cider on the tongue. Later, I noted grape tones and the booziness warmed up my tummy. A surprising beer that provided many changes with each sip.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue III:
Bottle #01759. Inspired by the USA, malt from England, bottle from Germany, the name is from Japan, sugars from Mauritius, hops from the Pacific Rim, yeast from Canada, coffee from Columbia and brewing skills from Norway. 75 IBUs.
Black. Pitch black. Like death waiting for you at the bottom of an abandoned well. Massive cascading milky coffee-colored head that retains a very healthy looking creamy foam lace that's got plenty of leg. Fresh roasted coffee, dark sugars, suggestions of dark forest fruits, fermented honey, dark chocolate, cream sherry, and a slight hint of port wine booziness in the nose, incredibly complex, yet soft. Whoa. This is one seductive beer. Silky creaminess on the palate, with a full and viscous body that's a bit syrupy and slowly coats the palate with a rich and roasted malt character of dark-roasted coffee and high percent and slightly bitter dark chocolate. Sweet sugary center with buttery toffee. Juicy sherry-soaked cherries. Slight alcohol burn with some spiciness. Lingering chocolate cake and a hint of smoke.
Despite it retailing for around $22 a bottle, it's well worth seeking out for the experience and definitely not as hot and boozy as we expect for a 16-percent beer.

500ml bottle in a fancy case. Pours a motor oil opaque black with a thin brown head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.
The aroma is dark chocolate, some candy sugar, vinous fruits and sharp alcohol.
The flavor is bitter baker's chocolate, grainy malts, black licorice, some sour vinous fruitiness, sweet candy sugar, and a big wallop of warming alcohol. The mouthfeel is pretty full and low on carbonation.
Overall, this is truly a big beer. It's fun, but way too harsh on the alcohol. At $22 for a 500ml bottle, it's good to try once.

Pours pure black with brown head. All kinds of stuff going on in the aroma. Chocolate covered coffee beans, salty soy sauce, and hard wood smoke. Fantastic flavor. Bitter dark chocolate fudge mocha. Throw a shot of some sort of dark fruit liquor it there. Full body. High carbonation. Silky. Warm finish. Amazingly drinkable, not that I'd try to drink a whole bottle by myself.

Black with a tan head and good lacing and retention. Smell of molasses, alcohol, chocolate, roast, maple syrup, hops, and brown sugar. Taste has all the same things as the aroma and does not disappoint. Full of intense and well-rounded flavors, I really wish they'd make this same recipe again. Medium carbonation and full body. I look forward to trying this at any time I can. One of the the few beers that seems to hold up to and surpass its hype.

Bottle at the Mikkeller pub in Copenhagen.
Pours black with a half-finger brown head. The head dissipates into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of smooth roasted malts with large amounts of dark chocolate flavors. Also present are good amounts of dark fruits - plums mostly with hints of raisins.
Tastes good however it's not quite as complex as the nose. Sweet roasted malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by good amounts of dark chocolate flavors. Boozy dark fruits join in midway through the sip, carrying through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a very smooth thickness with soft carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I had no problems finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall I have to say I was a bit disappointed with this beer. It was a nice and complex brew however the flavors weren't as well-integrated as I was expecting. Still, it's worth a shot to decide for yourself.

this beer is quite the marvel. bottle # 4011. I put # 1000 something in the cellar. For-ev-er. Pours a thick black tar with ever so slight hints of ruby red around the edges of the glass. Thin tan head. the nose reeks of dark chocolate, molasses, coffee beans and sugar. Taste is dark chocolate malts with coffee and tons of sugar. Alcohol slaps the mouth. A whisky like stomach heat is produced. The coffee sticks out the most besides the alcohol. Be prepared because this beer will slap you in the face like devitos wife on its always sunny. 16% is quite evident. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy as hell. about the same texture as tomato soup. Creaminess as it goes down, and coats the throat in good liquor taste. Drinkability is its only real flaw, but anything 16% has limited drinkability. If you decide to drink one of these to yourself. Give your car keys to someone to hide. Fantastic now, but could defenitely be a marvelous brew with several years in the cellar. Way to go nogne.

Aroma of good coffee and alcohol fumes. Tia Maria, only thicker. Pours very black, with aged look of white head on top. Drinks medium plus mouthfeel, a coffee liquor, rich, and kind of one-dimensional. Smooth, with chocolate aftertaste and sediment.500 ml. in fancy container at $22 plus $1.50 duty from Premiere Gourmet. Sipper.

16oz bottle, scooped at Star Liquor a solid year ago at least. split with bort on his final evening in town while watching some obscure hunter thompson
appearance: snifter treatment, very dark ebony body, tan char head. looks innocent enough but inherently evil
smell: loads of dark chocolate, fiery bourbon, tons of sludgy dark roast coffee
taste: an evil creation - dark belgian chocolate, smooth bourbon, dark roast coffee, bitterness levels kept well within reason...pretty remarkable in all its power - vinous traits with superb complexity
mouthfeel: creamy with a lingering alcohol burn
drinkability: exceeds expectations - a lot of alcohol but controlled bitterness

Had a "stout night" a couple of Friday's back. 2006 Dark Lord was one of the stable of stouts.
The Dark Horizon was simply the best beer I ever had, so far.
The appearance was typically stout, almost a blue black. The smell was a wave of rich complexity, enough malt in the aroma to notice without much effort. I like that. The taste was the offspring you get when rich marries silky. Mouthfeel was a-plenty. neither thin nor burdonsome, what was it that Goldilocks said when she got to that third bowl?

Many, many thanks to todd1 for sending me this one several years ago.
1st Edition - #00546
The first release of Dark Horizon certainly lives up to its name. It's a very dark chocolate fudge color. Looks pitch black. No light cuts through at all. A dark mocha colored crown tops it. It rose to just under a finger in depth before falling quickly. I'm sure the abv had something to do with that. Lacing was light, but sticky.
The nose is definitely impressive. It's very malty. Roasted and chocolate malts seem to be the base. Smells like bittersweet dark chocolate. Coffee is strong in the mix. It is quite deep and features an abundance of secondary scents, including molasses, dark fruit, and perhaps some soy sauce and herbal notes. The last two are faint. Alcohol is definitely noted, but doesn't smell like 16%. Perhaps it's integrated pretty well over the last three years or so.
The flavor is good. Chocolate and roasted malts are definitely the base. It's a little sweeter than expected. Bittersweet dark chocolate is noted, but it tastes like some sweeter milk chocolate notes are here as well. Coffee is easily noted and complements the malts extremely well. The flavor profile really explodes with depth at this point. Molasses, dark fruit, soy sauce, and some interesting herbal notes. The herbal flavors taste somewhat like hop remnants. I'm curious as to how hoppy this was fresh. Alcohol is definitely there and is a tad warm. No big shock at 16% abv. Finishes sweet and malty with a twist of coffee and tangy dark fruit.
This version of Dark Horizon has a medium body that feels more and more substantial with warming. Carbonation feels light and restrained. Ultimately, it is smooth. Nonetheless, the flavor is very big and bold with enough alcohol warmth to know it's a beast. Finishing this 500 ml bottle will take quite a while.
Dark Horizon is definitely a bold beer from Nøgne Ø. It is chock full of flavor and is quite complex. At the end of the day, it is good. Having said that, its big, bold nature and some of its flavors definitely make it a novelty. I wouldn't drink one of these with any frequency. It's just a little too big and warm. I also would prefer a little less dark fruit tanginess. Good stuff though. No doubt about that.

As I was Drinking this beer it became a conversation peice between me and my buddy. This is a very complex beer and a great experience to drink. It poured very smooth with little to no head.
Black an opaque in color but not thick.
The smell realy threw me off. It was very sweet wtih citrus notes almost like a Grand Cru.
tast started of with a light citrus and finished with a bitterness that was easily identifiable as a mix of the hops and coffee beans.
The Beer was smooth in texture but the tingle of the alchohol was fery present.
Good drinkability, but a definite slow sipper.

1st edition. Bottle #04038.
A: Poured a dark, viscose engine oil color with dark plum highlights when held up to the light. A flat dark nutmeg/cinnamon colored head topped things off briefly before quicly dissipating to a thin ring around the glass.
S: rich, with dark heresy chocolate, and a nice deep roasted coffee aroma. Spicy dark fruit (prunes) also contribute and enrich the experience. Spicy alcohol scents round things off here.
T: The initial flavor was spicy and dark roasted malts with loads of ripe dark fruit (prunes) and a huge coffee roasted bitterness. Dried prunes and a dark earthy bitter hoppiness are also noted. There is a noticeable acrid charred malting, and minerality with some dark liquor and dried grapes. The beer finishes with some spicy alcohol fusels, and rum soaked raisins which faded beautifully off the tongue.
M: silky smooth, with a flat carbonation and felt oily and very nice on the tongue. A sharp acrid bitterness soon follows and graces the tongue upon the swallow.
D: Overall a dark and bitter roasted beer perfect for that dark snowy wintery night. The abv is noticeable as well a noticeable acrid bitterness that I think only adds to the intriquing nature of the drink.

Tasted soon after 1/3 bottle was spilled when the bag broke on the way home.
Rich with Colombian coffee overtones in the aroma. Highly phenolic, caramel interlaced with coffee. This would make the perfect companion on a long train ride. Prickly hot alcohol, still integrated with the monster coffee stout within. Highly palate coating. Watch out, this is a truly devastating RIS. It can surely kick your ass. Maybe better off cellared...
11/11: Thanks Dave for sharing a 4 year old cellared bottle. Much more mellow, light soy, chocolate, and roasty notes. Similar to other aged RIS, hard to pinpoint much, but better than I recall. Still a bit of alcohol sting present, though not as hot as the initial sample 4 years ago after that fateful bike ride :S

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry coffee with nice roasted malt notes. Taste is also dominated by dry coffee with some black chocolate and ends with a dry hoppy bitter taste. Body is quite full with good carbonation and surprisingly enough alcohol is not discernable. Well done but still somewhat overrated in my opinion.

About as dark as a head gets with active dark brown and rich carmel colored bubbles that fade fast, leaving no lace. Body is a pure sticky thick blackness. Nose is an odd but attractive feel with a mix of port, smokey malt, coffee and dark fruit. With first sip you realize this is something special. Big richness floods the mouth with rum soaked dark fruit, dark toffee, rich coffee notes and a healthy dose of carmalized burnt malt. A bit of candy like sweetness builds up on the back of the tongue. Alchol is only a backround note in the flavor but warms the belly well. Very impressive for 16%. Mouthfeel is big and thick like nice liquor. Definitely a sipper when it comes to drinkability but very good overall.

A-Thick, dark silky texture that doesn't let light through. Little to no head.
S-Coffee, chocolate, dark dried fruits (date and raisin), tawny port.
T-Tawny port w/chocolate espresso, and the mix is not unpleasant. This ass-kicking stout is unlike anything I've had, and it's strong. It's sweet, a little syrupy, although less than I would expect, and I can tell the alcohol is present, but I would never guess 16%.
M-Pleasant. The body is thick, but not as much as I was expecting.
D-I don't feel like I'm drinking beer, but it's good, and if I ever come across a bottle I'll buy it. I would substitute this for port. It's like a drink to accompany a rich dessert, and the coffee that follows all in one.

Finally getting a chance to try this wonderful beer. I have had it sitting in the cellar for a few months and just decided to grab it out of their last night as I was in the mood to really knock back a little something heavy for a change, well I figure this one will fit the bill for sure! Pulled the 16.9oz bottle out of its cardboard tube and poured it into my Terrapin Chalice at cellar temp, looking to polish it off over the course of the night. The look was exceptional, with a deep, dark, brwon liquid coming forth, pretty much opaque with no light shining through on this one whatsoever. A nice two finger hight head of dark chocolate colored foam then rose up out of the depths and stayed around for a good five minutes before finally settling down to a thin film across the top that lasted thoughout the session. Deep side glass lace then persisted all the way down the glass. Really a big, full looking beer.
The aroma was heavenly, with deep, dark chcolate and rum soaked molasses coming through almost immediatly. This was big and the alcohol notes were well noted in it. Hints of coffee, some licorice perhaps and a touch of vanilla were then added into the mix. Quite complex and really just a dark, bourbon filled smell. The flavor followed through on the aroma's promise, really coating the mouth and warming the belly with each passing sip. There was the initial rush of cocoa and coffee beans, before the alcohol came kicking in behind it. A rush of bourbon hit the palate and knocked you back for a moment before easing down and giving way to some oaky flavors with a touch of molasses and vanilla. Some dark fruits buried in there, but pretty well hidden, maybe rum soaked raisin flavor. The finish had a touch of hops, just enough to give the slightest bit of a bitter touch to it and left that longlasting alcohol flavor on your tongue.
The Mouthfeel was very good, it was a full bodied beer, not a s thick as you big RIS's but still very nice indded. Velvet like carbonation kept everything moving along nicely and let the flavors slide over the tongue and filll you nicely. As for drinkability, we may have to discuss this. At 16% ABV, many people will not find this to be exceptionally drinkable, however I have to disagree. This was a monster strong beer, but the alcohol was well blended in and used to enhance the overall expierence. I did not find this harsh, hot, or out of balance, and I had no issues sipping on this and finishing off the bottle throughout the night. For something so strong, it could not have drank any better.
Overall I would have to say this one more then lived up to my expectations. It was really a very well done beer and a huge stout that is well deserved of its reputations. I have not had much expierence with the brewer, but this for sure will be enough to get me to look toward them much more. Definitly a high quality beer for sure and something I would not only drink again, I will still be actively looking for.

a: into a snifter, coal black in color - some brown coming out when lifted to the light - with a ring of mocha head roused with each tilt of the glass, and eventually dying back to nothing
s: a monstrous, thick roast bomb, black and roasted barley syrups and cola concentrate, smoked meats, rich brown sugars, dark liquor booze, ridiculous levels of complexity
m: thick, chewy body but not quite syrupy, carbonation on the lighter side
t: a stew of thick, rich roasts comprise the body of this frightfully bold stout, charred barley and dark chocolate condensed into a pretty intense experience, toasted brown sugars, burnt meat finish with lingering cola syrup, chocolate covered caramels, alcohol presence perfectly reasonable for the abv, absurdly smooth given the weight of what's going on here
d: challenging but totally enjoyable, impressively drinkable given the purely massive character of this beer
split with dirts on my last night in Madtown for this particular Great Taste adventure, post a near-death experience at Effigy Mounds

Bottle received from leftmindedrighty in a trade a while back. Thanks!
Appearance: Dark espresso brown, not as black as I was expecting, but impressive nonetheless. Pours without much in the way of head or lacing, but that was expected from a 16% beer.
Smell: Coffee with sugar, molasses, a bit of dark chocolate. Surprisingly mellow for such a big beer; there's barely a hint of alcohol.
Taste and mouthfeel: Very sweet, but thankfully not excessively so. Flavors of caramelized sugar are balanced by a huge roasted malt flavor. This is a little lighter in body than I was expecting, which isn't to say that it's thin, it's just not massive. Ultimately that's probably a good thing. Coffee and molasses in the finish, ending with surprising dryness. Impressively smooth and clean, no acrid flavors or harshness, no noticeable alcohol. This is some very well made stuff, but it's intense. Definitely one to be shared with a few like-minded people.

The beer decamps the 500ml bottle an atramentous color, with a runty chocolate creamy head, that evanescences slowly, leaving the lace to circumnavigate the glass. Greeting you first is a bittersweet chocolate espresso aroma that is bushwhacked quickly by the fusel alcohol, lost in the shuffle is a bit of caramel, dark roasted grain, and molasses. Front is ambrosial, grain profile exceptional, with an amalgamate of hops and alcohol at the stern, top is full and rich. Finish has a pedestrian acidity, the hops, burnt grain, coffee, bittersweet chocolate commingle with the alcohol to beget a bleached desert bone-dry aftertaste that welds itself to the palate. The term tummy warmer is an understatement, it is a Hoot, ranks up there with Three Floyds Dark Lord, and the Original monster from the dark side, Dogfish Head World Wide Stout (23%).

Stourport woman to pay hospice back for sister's care
7:40am Friday 1st February 2013 in Business Daily
A STOURPORT woman hopes to "pay back" the cost of care her late sister received at a hospice by selling pressed flower designs.
Steph Cutler's sister Jackie spent two weeks at St Richard's Hospice in Worcester before she died aged 51 in 2009.
Mrs Cutler said: "Jackie lived in Turkey during the summer doing seasonal work. She called me up and said she was home in July which was unusual.
"She'd had a stroke and had been to hospital in Turkey where she was given five weeks to live. The stroke had uncovered two brain tumours.
"She stayed at St Richard's Hospice before she died and I've decided to pay back the hospice for her care."
Mrs Cutler set up her business, Floragraphics, in 2010, where she grows flowers in her garden and presses them to make designs.
She then has the designs printed on cards, canvases and coasters by a company in Redditch.
Mrs Cutler added: "It's just a personal thing to support St Richard's. My profits will go back into the business and then I will donate as much as I can."
Mrs Cutler sells her work in Kidderminster at a stall in the Market Place, in New Road.

Reviews for Lime Cilantro Hummus
Sort By :
I think I ate half of this hummus before it was out of the food processor! I usually purchase hummus dip at the store. Not after trying this recipe! It was quick, easy and I had almost everything on hand. I did take the suggestion of decreasing lime and replacing with oil. It was perfect. The garlic and spice ratio was just right for me. Highly recomend this great recipe.
very easy and such a great green fresh taste. this is my go to Hummus recipe now. I serve it with whatever fresh veggies i have n hand
Easy & Delicious! I halved the recipe - glad I don't have to share! Will definitely make again!
Added a bit less garlic/lime juice and a bit more olive oil as per previous reviewers. So delicious! Fun to make your own cuz bought can be quite expensive.
Very tasty. Cut the recipe in half for hubby and myself. Substituted chili powder for cayenne. Great sandwich filling!

CATEGORIES Documentary, Music & Musicals, Deals, Scripts, Movies, CinematicalIf you happen to have grown up during the 1980s, then you probably remember the oh-so-brief trend of break dancing (aka B-Boy) films. Granted, the trend didn't last long in Hollywood, but there were some memorable moments -- and I think we can all agree that Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo was the definitive low point. (Clearly you haven't seen Rappin', dear. -- SW)
But no matter how bad those films got, to this day I will still stay up way past my bedtime to catch Beat Street on the late show. After the thrill of the pop and lock had faded away, it seemed that B-Boy had become just another pop-culture footnote. Fast forward to the late 90's, and the B-Boy lifestyle made a resurgence on a global scale, and in Benson Lee's 2005 documentary B-Boy Planet, he showcased the B-Boy culture to awards and acclaim. These days dance flicks are everywhere you look, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, Screen Gems will be getting in on the fun.
The project is currently in need ofx a writer to pen the tale of "a legendary b-boy crew that must return to its roots to reclaim the world championship by competing against the top international break dancing teams." The take is described as "8 Mile" meets "The Warriors." According to Lee, "B-boying is one of those street dances that has been co-opted in many films but never portrayed authentically," he said. "I want to present b-boying for what it actually is, which one of the most powerful street dances out there right now. And with so many countries involved, it presents a different kind of story than what we're normally used to seeing in street dance films." While I personally have a soft spot for dance films both good and bad, I'm especially curious to see if a feature film could finally give the 'art of the B-Boy and Girl' the credit it deserves.
As an added bonus, watch this clip and tell me these guys couldn't wipe the floor with those lightweights from Step it Up 2...

Delegate Mark Hunt and Charleston Mayor Danny Jones still aren't seeing eye-to-eye on a recent House of Delegates vote.
The House on Monday passed a bill that would nullify the City of Charleston's gun purchasing ordinance. Hunt, a Democrat who represents part of Charleston, and other delegates who represent the capitol city voted in favor of the legislation, House Bill 2760. But Jones, a Republican, has taken issue with the ordinance, saying that since the ordinance was passed in 1993, violent crime has gone down in the city.
Hunt once again took to the House floor Thursday to clarify some things.
"The first thing I want to say about this bill, 2760, the preemption bill, I still think the house did the right thing," Hunt said Thursday. "Obviously, we preempted the field on gun carry and gun ownership laws and the right thing to do is have uniform gun laws in this state."
Charleston's ordinance allows consumers to purchase only one handgun per month after a three-day waiting period. Other cities, including Martinsburg, have their own ordinances as well. The Legislature in 1999 passed a bill that banned municipalities from enacting their own gun ordinances, but Charleston, Martinsburg and other cities that already had ordinances in place were grandfathered in. House Bill 2760 nullified those ordinances in an effort to make gun purchasing laws across the state more even.
But Jones said such a law is unfair. At a March 12 news conference, Jones said "the Legislature is not familiar with our ordinance" and the bill is "frightening to municipalities."
Some committees in the House, including the Political Subdivisions Committee Hunt chairs, considered legislation similar to HB 2760, but those bills died before reaching the full House. House Bill 2558 would have removed the grandfather clause that exempts municipal ordinances form limiting the purchase, possession, transfer, ownership, carrying, transporting, selling or sorting of guns or ammunition. That bill passed out of Political Subdivisions, but died in Judiciary.
"It was less draconian than the bill this house ultimately passed," Hunt said of HB 2558. "We didn't have an opportunity to vote on that bill in this house. The bill we had the opportunity to vote on was 2760, the bill we did vote on."
During debate Monday, several delegates said they wanted to see statistics that Charleston's violent crime rate did indeed drop after the ordinance was enacted. Hunt brought with him Thursday a chart from the FBI that showed Charleston's crime rates since 1993 have remained higher than the national average.
Hunt pointed out the years 2010 and 2011, specifically. In those years, Charleston's murder/non-negligent manslaughter rates were considerably higher than the national and state averages. In 2010, Charleston's rate was 13.6 compared with 4.8 national rate and 3.3 West Virginia rate. In 2011, Charleston's rate was 9.7 while the national rate was 4.7 and the state rate was 4.3. At the time the ordinance was enacted, Charleston's murder/non-negligent manslaughter rate was 27.9, three times the national rate and nearly five times the state rate.
"A number of people in this house asked for statistics," Hunt said, adding, "We're due statistics, we should get statistics, understand what we're voting on. These are the facts. These are the facts from the FBI."
Hunt said he is tired of the finger pointing and hopes Jones, who once served in the House of Delegates, could understand the process.
"I hope that we can stop pointing fingers and calling people names and understand there is a process here," Hunt said. "There is a process. This House passed a bill by an overwhelming majority. It went over to the Senate. The Senate will do with it what it feels appropriate.
"Whatever happens, I hope that from here on out that the mayor of Charleston and these pundits of the bill will let the process work and not try to obstruct this process."
Jones issued the following statement Thursday afternoon:
in the House of Delegates, Delegate Mark Hunt took to the floor to give
a somewhat disjointed defense of his false allegations on Monday
against the 'Mayor of Charleston and its City
Council.' During the course of this speech today, Delegate Hunt
admitted that neither Councilman Lane nor I called the members of House
of Delegates 'idiots.' Despite this, Delegate Hunt could not muster up
the courage to apologize for bearing false witness
against members of Charleston's City Council and me. This is sad. It
would have taken courage that Delegate Hunt obviously lacks.
me say that despite all of this, I have no quarrel with Delegate Hunt.
As a House Committee Chairman, Mark Hunt is an 'inside man' on Speaker
Thompson's leadership team. While I feel
compelled to speak out about legislation that adversely affects my
city, I realize I am no match for Speaker Thompson, Chairman Hunt or any
member of the very powerful House leadership team – certainly not in
the House Chamber when the Legislature is in session.
being a former member of the House and a spectator of what has gone on
there for a number of decades, I know there is perennially a bit of
Charleston bashing that goes on. I guess
what surprised me about this is that the bashing is now coming from a
delegate that represents the capital city."

Ice Cream for Our Guests by AmyMarie - about 1 year ago
"As a facility management team, we served over 1,000 Mister Softee ice cream cones to our "guests" in the building in over 90 degree weather! With the bright & consistent look of our team, we were able to engage with the line as they waited for their ice cream cone and they could better learn who we are. It was fabulous to hear them say that they can now put a face with a name. The CustomInk website design and customer service associate made this process seamless, especially with a logo on the sleeve."

Vince Flynn Collectors' Edition: Separation of Power/ Executive Power/ Memorial Day
Vince Flynn
Publisher:Atria Books
Publication Date:2010
Separation of Power
Newly appointed CIA director Dr. Irene Kennedy is the target of an inside plot to destroy her and prematurely end the American President's term. To make matters worse, Saddam Hussein is close to entering the nuclear arms race -- something Israel has vowed to stop. With the haunting specter of World War III looming, the President calls on his secret weapon: top counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp. But with only two weeks to take out the nukes, Rapp is up against a ticking clock -- and impossible odds.
Executive Power
After years of working in the shadows, Rapp is caught in the media spotlight -- and marked for death by virtually every terrorist in the world. Now a CIA advisor, Rapp is ready to battle terror far from the front lines. But when a Navy SEAL team in the Philippines is ambushed, all evidence points to a leak within the U.S. State Department. And a greater threat still lurks -- a ruthless assassin working for the most powerful men in the Middle East, who are bent on igniting a world war. With the world watching, Rapp must hold back the flames of Armageddon....
Memorial Day
CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on the United States, just as the nation's capital prepares for a grand Memorial Day tribute to the veterans of World War II. Racing to Afghanistan, Mitch Rapp leads a commando raid on an al Qaeda stronghold in a remote border village -- and defuses plans for a nuclear strike on Washington. The crisis averted, the special ops work is done. But Rapp knows, in the face of a new kind of enemy, nothing is as it seems -- and it's up to him alone to avert a disaster of unimaginable proportions.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Health insurance plans will provide some benefits, including birth control, to women for free starting Wednesday.
It's another provision of Pres. Barack Obama's health care law that is going into effect.
It is expected to impact an estimated 47 million women nationwide, including nearly 970-thousand in Wisconsin.
"Health care is a big, big issue," says Mary Ridgely.
She says her daughter turned 27 this year, meaning she's on her own when it comes to health insurance.
"She is right now paying a huge COBRA premium so she may not be able to afford to that very long."
Meanwhile, she's trying to get a job.
"Everybody is having a tough time finding employment but good employment that offers good benefits is even harder to find."
She says it will make a big difference when her daughter can start a plan with women's preventive health benefits in place under the Affordable Care Act.
Starting Wednesday, all new plans will provide basic services without co-pays—services like birth control, breastfeeding counseling and equipment, annual screening for HIV and well-woman preventive care visits.
Sara Eskrich is with the Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health and the Council on Children and Families.
"Those of us who are currently insured are likely to not see the benefits until January 1st, or whenever your plan year changes. So, the best way for women to find out if they are covered now is to call their insurance company," Eskrich says.
Some plans that existed before health care reform passed may have "grandfathered" status, which means they're exempt from offering the benefits unless their coverage changes.
"Though we may think our plan is the same from year to year, likely it's changed just enough to lose grandfathered status. But it really depends on your carrier, on your employer policy."
She expects most plans to include the free services by 2014.
Here is a list of services offered for women without co-pays provided by the Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health:
- Comprehensive contraceptive care. The full range of FDA approved contraceptive methods, including birth control pills, IUDs, as well as sterilization procedures, patient education and counseling.
- Screening and counseling for intimate partner violence. Screening and counseling about current and past violence and abuse so that providers can address health concerns about safety and other health problems that may be associated with interpersonal and domestic violence.
- Screening for gestational diabetes. Screening pregnant women for gestational diabetes, a form of the disease which develops during pregnancy and occurs more often among women of color.
- Breastfeeding counseling and equipment. Making trained breastfeeding counselors available to all women during pregnancy and after they give birth and making breastfeeding equipment available to those who want it.
- Screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Counseling on STIs annually; screening for HIV infection annually; and adding a test for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) to conventional cervical cancer screening for women starting at age 30 and continuing every three years.
- Well-woman preventive care visits. Conducting at least one well-woman preventive care visit for adult women each year so that women can get the recommended preventive services.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WKOW) -- Starting Wednesday, all new health insurance plans have to provide eight preventative health benefits to women for free. Women who already have plans with copays or deductibles for those services, will also get them for free starting with their plan's next renewal date.
The Department of Health and Human services says this will help about 47 million American women. Those are the ones in health plans that have to offer the new benefits. It's a requirement under the Affordable Care Act Congress passed in 2010. The Supreme Court upheld most of the law this past June.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius celebrated the milestone a day early. "We're here to mark a new day for women's health in America. Starting tomorrow, thanks to the new health care law, all insurance policies will be required to cover new vital care that women need to stay healthy and they'll have to cover the care without charging women anything out of pocket."
The benefits include contraceptives, breast-feeding supplies, screenings for sexual transmitted infections and counseling for domestic violence. They also include routine check-ups for breast and pelvic exams, pap tests and prenatal care. Sebelius says, "Too often, we put our own health last. And that's especially true when it comes to preventive care. The regular check-ups and screenings that are so important to staying health but can be too easy to put off."
Fourteen free preventative service benefits for women have already taken effect under the Affordable Care Act, including mammograms to screen for breast cancer in women over 40.
Not all women with insurance will have access to the new services. Certain insurance plans that existed before the health care reform passed may have "grandfathered" status and may be exempt from offering the benefits. Women can call their employers to ask whether they are in "grandfathered" health insurance plans.

I'm still processing that Castle cliff-hanger. Who ran Castle's car off the road? — Linda Although there are a number of possibilities (3XK comes to mind, for example), it sounds like at least one person isn't involved: the recently arrested Sen. William Bracken. "I think that aspect of the mythology is closed now," creator Andrew W. Marlowe says. "Beckett knows who killed her mother. If there's further storytelling there, I think we're going to be breaking new ground." And for those fans miffed that we didn't get to see Castle and Beckett's wedding, look on the bright side: The show will have a fresh budget to work with in Season 7! "That's right," Marlowe says with a laugh. "We were running on fumes, financially, at the end of this year." When can we expect our diamond-encrusted invite?

Pentagon Nearly Sent Game Promoting Murder of Non-Christians to US Troops
by NJDCSteve, Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 09:16:41 AM EDT
Apparently, the Pentagon was close last week to sending "care packages" to American troops that contained a copy of the video game "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" which rewards players for murdering non-Christians.
Other than the LA Times' editorial yesterday this seems to have received very little MSM coverage. Where is the outrage?
What if the Military Religious Freedom Foundation had not uncovered this? Could there be a worse way to harm America's image abroad than having the Pentagon send video games to American soldiers in Iraq promoting the slaughter of non-Christians?

Are you thinking about venturing out into the converging world of video and lighting? Are you intimidated by the preponderance of video geek terminology? Do the instruction manuals for video editing software appear to be written in a foreign language (I guess we could call it "Vidish)? If that is or has ever been the case for you, I highly recommend reading the following glossary of video terminology, which I've tweaked for the live event media producer. It covers all the basics and, if memorized, will make you the envy of all your friends.
Analog Video: Analog video is the old-fashioned method of recording or transmitting a video signal that uses waves or amplitude modulation over time to represent the video or audio signal. Still very much in use, analog video is slowly being replaced by digital, which is more accurate and less susceptible to degradation.
Anamorphic: Anamorphic filming technique was developed to make widescreen movies using 4:3 film negatives. An anamorphic lens distorts the image picked up by the camera before it reaches the film, squeezing a wide image horizontally toward the center. By using a lens that reverses the original distortion when projecting the film back on screen, the correct, intended aspect ratio is restored. A similar technique is used to store 16:9 video material at 4:3 aspect ratios, for example, when a widescreen movie is recorded on a 4:3 format such as DVD.
Artifacts: A visible alteration to the original image caused by compression or other image processing. Artifacts are typically visible attached to an object in motion and may be apparent as jagged lines bordering an object within an image. While insignificant when displayed on small screens, artifacts can be problematic in large-screen display systems.
Artifacts, Compression: The boxy patterns visible in compressed images. Generally, compression artifacts are more visible as the level of compression increases.
Aspect ratio: Aspect ratio pertains to the shape of the video image, with the ratio being image width divided by the image height (1.33:1, 1.8:1, etc.). Aspect ratio is also expressed as the numerical relationship of image height and width (4:3, 16:9, etc.). The easiest way to explain aspect ratio is to say that it is the ratio between the width of the picture and the height of the picture. Normal TV aspect ratio is 4:3 (1.33:1); HDTV's aspect ratio is 16:9 (1.85:1); and CinemaScope movie aspect ratio is 2.35:1.
Aspect Ratio, 4:3: A standard TV aspect ratio is four units wide by three units high — nearly square (4:3). This is the fast-fading standard for most displays, which are quickly being superseded by wide-screen formats.
Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI): A video-audio file format for Windows. Often called "video for Windows," it was developed by Microsoft to play full-motion interleaved video and audio in Windows using Windows Media Player. AVI movies can utilize a number of different codecs or compression schemes. AVI and QuickTime are the two most used moving video file formats in multimedia.
Bandwidth: The capacity of a network to transmit data is called bandwidth, and it is expressed in bits per second (BPS). Sending data through a phone wire is like sending water down a pipe. The wider the pipe, the more information you can send faster. In telecommunications, transport capacity (the size of the pipe) is called bandwidth. The narrower the bandwidth, the less amount of information can be squeezed through it at any one time, and the longer it takes.
Bit-rate: Often expressed as BPS, the rate at which bits (1 or 0, a single piece of information) are streamed through a digital video system such as a DVD player. The higher the bit-rate, the better the video performance.
Capture: Generally used to describe the process of digitizing images. For example, capture hardware and software can take a digital still picture from a video camera, or capturing from a moving video (VCR) can digitize the analog video signal so that the moving video can be stored on a computer hard disk.
Codec: Codec stands for compression-decompression and is a concept used in the creation of digital video files. Digital video files and formats contain a lot of information and are, therefore, very large. To make files and formats less bulky and easier to store and transmit, the information is compressed using a particular compression scheme and then decompressed during viewing. Each compression scheme has a different way of handling compression and decompression. Some codecs include: MPEG 2, H-264, Windows Media 9, Apple uncompressed, and Digital Video (DV). Compression and decompression can be done with either software or hardware.
Codec, Animation: As the name implies, animation codec is best used on animation, although it does all right on video as well. It primarily compresses long lines of identical horizontal pixels (which is why it's good for animation). At 100%, the codec is lossless. Another plus is that the animation includes alpha channel support.
Codec, Authoring: The main intent of authoring codecs is to preserve image quality, with little concern for file size. Authoring codecs are used as intermediary steps during the production process and are not suitable for delivery because of their often immense file sizes. Authoring codecs would be employed to export video from one program to another, without addition of any compression artifacts (for example, the various DV codecs are considered authoring codecs).
Codec, Delivery: Delivery codecs are used to distribute movies to an audience, usually over the web. These codecs provide small file sizes but at the expense of image quality. The type of delivery codec used is usually based on the installed base of users of that codec.
Codec, Digital Video (DV): DV is a video format launched in 1996 and — in its smaller tape form-factor, MiniDV — has since become one of the standards for consumer and semiprofessional video production. The DV specification (originally known as the Blue Book, current official name IEC 61834) defines both the codec and the tape format. Features include intraframe compression for uncomplicated editing, a standard interface for transfer to nonlinear editing systems (FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394), and good video quality, especially compared to earlier consumer analog formats such as 8mm, Hi-8, and VHS-C. DV now enables filmmakers to produce movies inexpensively, associated with no-budget cinema. There have been some variations on the DV standard, most notably the more professional DVCAM and DVCPRO standards by Sony and Panasonic. Also, there is a recent high-definition version called HDV that uses MPEG-2 compression to create high-definition video streams recorded to DV or MiniDV tape formats.
Codec, Hardware: Using specialized modules or cards inserted in the workstation, hardware compression is able to compress and decompress full-motion, full-screen video in real time. In general, this is a more expensive but better solution.
Codec, Software: Software codecs, where the compression and decompression are executed through software, are slower and generally aren't capable of handling full-screen, full-motion (30 frames per second), high-quality video.
Codec, Uncompressed: This video file format is the codec that best represents the original source material, without compression, in its digital form. It is an 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed video codec, and what makes it special is that it was designed to be used with high-end video capture cards, but it can be used on its own, as well. Its high-quality nature means that it is good for creating videos out of animations and stills where you want to preserve smooth gradients that may be otherwise lost using a compressed codec, such as DV. The only disadvantage is extremely large file sizes, which can be hard to manage.
Compositing: A tool that allows the combining of different layers into a single image, so that all the elements blend together seamlessly and appear to have been photographed at the same time.
Compression: A mathematical method used to reduce the amount of digital information stored in a particular file. Graphics files and moving video files are good candidates for compression, because they are generally very large in size. Compressing these files can greatly reduce the amount of information required. However, compression does result in the alteration of the file, which may result in degradation of image quality.
Digital Video: The video signal is converted to a series of binary numbers that create a numerical representation of the image.
Digitizing: The process of converting standard analog waveform information into digital form (binary code), as used by a computer. This is done with a special card that plugs into a slot in a computer, allowing either audio or video to be sent into the computer. The signal from the audio or video is then converted into digital information (data) that can be stored and manipulated.
GOP Structure: GOP is an MPEG term meaning Group of Pictures. It is a collection of consecutive frames of video. Usually between 0.5 and 1 second of video will be held in one GOP. There are many possible structures, but a common one is 15 frames long. GOP structure is determined by the nature of the video stream and the bandwidth constraints on the output stream.
High-Definition Television (HDTV): High-definition video formats are differentiated from standard definition television formats by an increased number of TV lines (resolution) and the widescreen shape of the resulting image. The most common formats are 1080i or 720p. 1080i stands for a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, and the "i" means that the video is being interlaced. 720p stands for resolution of 1280×720 pixels, and the "p" means that the video is in progressive format.
I (Intra) Frame: An MPEG-2 compressed video frame that is a complete picture containing most of the original information. It is similar to a JPEG still image and is used as a reference to build subsequent B and P frames in the GOP structure within the MPEG compression scheme.
Interlaced/De-Interlacing Video: Interlaced video has two fields that make up one frame for playback on a standard video monitor. One field is made up of the odd horizontal lines in a frame. This is called the odd field or the top field, since it contains the top line of the image. The other field is made up of the even horizontal lines in a frame. This is called the even field or bottom field. On a progressive monitor, such as a computer display, these fields create artifacts and scan lines, so they need to be made progressive by the process of de-interlacing. The reason for interlacing: PAL and NTSC are old technologies that were invented before modern digital compression methods were devised, and interlacing was a way to compress the video signal to save bandwidth, reducing the information being transmitted by half.
Lossy Compression: Some compression schemes reduce the amount of data in an image file and, therefore, the file size, by selectively deleting data. This is referred to as lossy compression. This can be done by finding repetitive (or unchanging screen areas in moving video) pixels in an image, throwing out the repetition, and then recreating the original image as closely as possible when it is uncompressed. Within this process, while the image is recreated faithfully, some loss of data is inevitable and, in some cases, can result in visible artifacts.
MPEG-2: A mathematical algorithm for the compressing of moving pictures and associated audio that creates a video stream out of three types of frame data (intraframes, forward predictive frames, and bidirectional predicted frames) that can be arranged in a specified order called the GOP structure. The MPEG-2 codec is used in DVD players and other digital playback devices, which often utilize built-in hardware decoding for smoother playback.
Nonlinear Editing (NLE): Refers to the fact that digital video can be retrieved from a storage hard drive that doesn't need to be physically rewound or fast-forwarded (as with conventional videotape) to access particular sections of video. Access is almost instantaneous. Also, nonlinear editing allows for insertion of material in the middle of a video segment, whereas conventional videotape editing does not. Videotape is not physically spliced but edited electronically by dubbing (copying) from one tape to another. Therefore, the insertion of material in the middle cannot be done without re-editing from that point on (or by dubbing onto yet another tape, resulting in generational loss).
NTSC: The color TV standard developed in the US in 1953 by the National Television System Committee. NTSC is used in the US, Canada, Japan, most of the American continent countries, and various Asian countries. The rest of the world uses either some variety of PAL or SECAM standards. NTSC runs on 525 lines/frame, and its vertical frequency is 60Hz. NTSC's frame rate is 29.97 frames/sec, with a resolution of 720×480 in digital video.
PAL (Phase Alternating Line): This TV standard was introduced in the early 1960s in Europe. It has better resolution than in NTSC, with 625 lines/frame, but the frame rate is slightly lower, at 25 frames/second, with a resolution of 720×576 for digital video. PAL is used in most western European countries (except France, where SECAM is used), Australia, and in parts of Africa, South America, and Asia.
QuickTime: Apple Computer's video file format, QuickTime, is a particular format for utilizing digitized video or animation (moving images in general). Computers running Windows can utilize QuickTime for Windows to playback QuickTime movies. These movies can utilize a number of different codecs or compression schemes. QuickTime and AVI are the two most popular video file types in multimedia applications. Adobe Premiere can utilize either QuickTime or AVI video file formats.

WILLSBORO — The experiences of city and country teens are often worlds apart.
"I can't believe I touched a cow," Isaiah Rowe exclaimed during a recent visit to the Lee Garvey Farm in Willsboro. "I can't process that in my brain."
Rowe was among a group of students and educators from Wadleigh Secondary School and Frederick Douglass Academy II in New York City who visited the North Country as scholars with College for Every Student.
They watched the farmer milk the cows, and Garvey and his sister, Krista Moran, introduced them to the equipment they use and other aspects of farming.
The walk through the cow barn was eye-popping.
"Oh, my God, that is the weirdest thing," one student called out. "(That cow's) tongue is so huge!"
"Eating and pooping at the same time," another teen said. "That's crazy!"
A bat darted through the barn, and the startled visitors pulled their jackets over their heads — at first, they thought it was a bird.
Then the scholars were treated to farm-fresh apples, cheese and apple cider.
"They seem to be having a grand time coming here to see the cows," Moran said.
This was the sixth year Willsboro Central School hosted New York City students through College for Eevery Student's Home and Away Exchange Program.
"Our kids look forward to this all year," French teacher Marie Blatchley in an email. "They enjoy both hosting the New York City students and then getting the opportunity to visit their schools a few days later."
The students from the city welcomed the opportunity to see rural life, but the visit raised some questions about wide-open spaces.
"How do people handle it?" Ariely Christian wondered. "Everything is so far away, while everything is so close in the city."

Windermere remain unbeaten as they knock 10 past sorry Mossley
11:38am Tuesday 6th November 2012 in Sport By Scott Kirk, Reporter
Windermere 10
Mossley Hill 0
North West Division Three
DESPITE being without three of their brightest youngsters - all playing in the England Futures Cup at Cannock - Mere soon had Mossley Hill penned into their own half and goals quickly followed.
A long corner saw Andrew Hartnett feed a great ball into the D for Liam Derome to score his first goal in Mere colours.
Goals two and three were then added from open play by Scott Santamera and Steve Heyns, before Mossley created some chances of their own that had to be thwarted by the ever-alert Dom Quill, Andy Hartnett, Keenan Quill and Louis Musetti.
When Mere did finally retake control further goals were scored by Will Dolman and Steve Heyns to give the home side a 5-0 half-time lead.
Mere dominated again after the restart and Matt Hartnett scored with a deflection from a Heyns delivery, and their first penalty corner of the match saw Will Dolman strike with a drag flick to make it 7-0.
Another penalty corner was converted by Matt Hartnett and then a change in formation allowed Tom Dolman to bag two more late goals to complete an emphatic win that maintiains Windermere's 100 per cent win record.
Meanwhile South Lakes picked up a 4-2 victory at Lytham St Annes 2nds as they join a clutch of five teams on nine points in Division Three.
In Division Six South Lakes' second team lost 4-0 to remain second from bottom on three points, while Kirkby Lonsdale picked up a hard-fought 3-2 win at home to Preston 5ths in Division Seven.
With West Derby losing 4-2 at home to Bowdon and Blackburn Northern losing 3-2, Kirkby join the latter on 13 points at the summit of the league, moving two points ahead of West Derby and Didsbury Northern.
Kendal's home match against Rochdale was called off.

THE COLONY -- Wherever Zack Pennington goes, so does Ella, his service dog.
Pennington is a Navy veteran who served from 1998 to 2007 and did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"She's a safety blanket for me," he said.
Pennington was diagnosed with PTSD is 2008, and through a program called "Shepherds For Lost Sheep" put his own dog, Ella, through training to help with his disorder.
"People don't recognize they don't wear a physical badge that labels them," said Cynthia Stamer, an attorney who helps businesses with compliance issues like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Pennington recounts a moment when he was escorted out of a post office in The Colony in early June for having his service dog. He claims the postal worker saw the dog and asked why she needed to be inside.
"By me saying what [Ella] was for, I would have been revealing my diagnosis to a room full of strangers," Pennington said.
He says that's a violation of the ADA.
The post office tells News 8 the dog was not wearing a vest, and had no collar on. Pennington refutes that claim, saying she was wearing a vest and always has her collar. He admits that Ella is not a fully-certified service dog, but is in training and is one month from full certification. He claims his dog should still be afforded all the benefits of a service dog.
Cynthia Stamer isn't speaking as his legal representative, but rather someone with a lot of experience dealing with companies and a society that are often ignorant of disability regulations.
"There needs to be some verification of the disability, but there also needs to be some balancing between the importance of the situation and safety risks," Stamer said.
A representative with the post office said Pennington refused to answer any questions by the postal worker. The rep also said Pennington and Ella were escorted out because the dog had later vomited on the floor, making it a health issue.
At the front of the post office there's a sign that reads, "No Dogs Allowed Except Seeing Eye Dogs."
"Just because I'm not disfigured or have a visual impairment doesn't mean I'm not in need of her," Pennington said.
Stamer said the courts are just now encountering issues like this; whether asking questions about a disability is legal. She said society is still playing catch-up on disability regulations.
"Once you say 'no' [...] and if you guess wrong, it could be a very expensive mistake," Stamer said.
Pennington says he's looking to hire an attorney. The post office stands firm, saying their worker followed protocol and asked the appropriate questions to ensure the safety of its patrons.

What's New This Season at Smugglers' Notch
Smugglers' is honored to be ranked as the #1 overall resort in the Eastern U.S. and Canada by SKI Magazine readers, in addition to being recognized as #1 for family vacations for the 15th year. Other top ten rankings include overall satisfaction, service, value, lodging, snow, terrain variety & challenge, grooming, terrain parks, off-hill activities, scenery, weather, digital presence and character.
We're adding 100 more new HKD tower snow guns which will serve intermediate and advanced terrain through placement on Smugglers' Alley on Sterling Mountain, and Upper FIS, Chilcoot, and Link on Madonna Mountain (plus a few other trails). In some areas, these guns will be new additions to the trails, in other areas the new guns will be replacing older models of tower guns so that we'll be able to more efficiently make snow, cover terrain faster, and refresh it quickly for the best possible onslope experience.
