Concorde Battery Corporation Receives FAA TSO-C173 Authorization for RG-150 Series Aircraft Batteries
WEST COVINA, CA – Concorde Battery Corporation aircraft battery part numbers RG-150-1 and RG-150-2 have received Technical Standard Order C173 (TSO-C173) approval. Concorde is the first aircraft battery manufacturer to receive TSO-C173 authorization. RG-150-1 and RG-150-2 increase the count to a total of 11 aircraft batteries with TSO authorization in the Concorde product line.
The design and performance of the RG-150-1 & RG-150-2 Concorde® Emergency VRLA Batteries add value as form, fit & function direct replacements1 for more expensive 1/4 ATR battery packs in use. Skip Koss, Vice President of Marketing for Concorde, says, "The dimension and power requirements of the Concorde RG-150 Series are equal to or better than the batteries fitted in the various models of Gulfstream, Challenger, Dassault Falcon, and more. The FAA TSO authorized Concorde RG-150 Series Batteries are more economical to own and operate. They have a lower initial cost along with less maintenance compared to other manufacturers' like products."
RG-150-1 and RG-150-2 are advanced technology emergency batteries; RG-150-2 is equipped with an Internal DC Heater. Concorde emergency batteries protect and extend the life of other avionics and can be charged directly from the DC bus with no need for a dedicated charger. This results in a high inrush current which extends battery life with fast recovery time from discharge. With the battery connected directly on the bus, transient spikes in the DC power are absorbed. Concorde Emergency Batteries are self-regulating on charge and use only the current required to maintain them at full charge. The RG-150 Series are maintenance free valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries requiring no replenishment of water or electrolyte.
Concorde is the world leader in aircraft battery technology with over 90 aircraft batteries in a range of installations, including recent selection by the US Navy to provide an advanced prototype lithium ion battery for the new CH-53K Helicopter. Concorde is the largest supplier of Original Equipment VRLA Batteries to manufacturers including Agusta, American Champion, American Eurocopter, Aviat, Bell, Bombardier (Canadair, Learjet), Cessna, Cirrus, Commander, Dassault, Diamond, Enstrom Helicopter, Erickson Air Crane, Extra, Gippsland, Grobe, Gulfstream, Hawker Beechcraft, JetPROP, Liberty, M-7Aerospace, Maule, Mooney, Northrop Grumman, Piaggio, Pilatus, Piper Aircraft, Robinson Helicopter, Scaled Composites, Schweizer, Sikorsky, Slingsby Aviation, Socata and Zlin. Over 50 Concorde batteries and temperature sensors are FAA Approved for installation on more than one thousand aircraft models.
Concorde manufactures Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), Flooded Lead Acid, and Lithium Ion aircraft batteries used for starting turbine and reciprocating engine aircraft, emergency & standby power. Visit our website for application guides, replacement guides, and new releases. www.concordebattery.com
1 A separate FAA approval may be required for installation of these batteries on an aircraft.

Police launch hunt for missing violent criminal
2:09pm Thursday 27th December 2012 in News
POLICE have today launched a hunt for violent criminal missing in Hampshire.
Officers issued an appeal for any information to help capture Paul Joseph Heppenstall.
They even issued a photograph of the 30-year-old, who they say has broken the conditions of his release from prison.
Police say they want to find and the arrest 30-year-old so he can be returned to custody and have urged the public not to approach him.
The last contact Heppenstall had with the authorities was in Hampshire on July 28, 2012 shortly after his release from prison.
He was convicted of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and sentenced to five years in prison in May 2010 for attacking a member of the public on Eastern Road in Portsmouth in October 2009.
Detective Chief Inspector Ben Snuggs of Hampshire Constabulary's Public Protection Department said: "We have been following many lines of enquiry in our efforts to locate and arrest Paul Heppenstall and we are grateful to everyone who has helped officers with various leads regarding his whereabouts.
"We are now making a wider appeal to members of the public, particularly in Portsmouth, where our latest information suggests he can be found."
Heppenstall is described as:
- White
- 5 ft 7 ins tall
- Medium build
- Ginger, receding hair, usually cut short
- Blue eyes
DCI Ben Snuggs added: "Mr Heppenstall has a history of violence for which he was imprisoned by the courts two years ago.
"Police are eager to return him to jail as he now continues to display a blatant disregard for the conditions of his release into the community.
"Our current information suggests Mr Heppenstall does not pose an immediate threat to any particular members of the public. He is not accused or suspected of any other crimes, apart from breaching his prison release licence.
"Nevertheless, due to his past behaviour, we would advise people against approaching him.
"Any sightings and information about his whereabouts or intentions should be reported to the police immediately by phoning 101 - or if it's an emergency – dial 999. Please remember that you can also give us information anonymously by phoning the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."

The people who use Twitter
- December 10th, 2010
- Posted in Uncategorized
- Write comment
New report from the folks @ Pew about the demographics of Twitter users. Minority Internet users are more than twice as likely to use Twitter than are white Internet users. Another opportunity for faculty to reach out to historically/statistically (at least in the Los Rios district) underperforming students?


text:
In the Celtic languages when you want to say that you have/own/possess something, you say that the thing is at/by/with you, often with the prepositions merging with the pronouns.
For example, this is how to say 'I have a book' in those languages:
- Irish: Tá leabhar agam [lit. "is book at-me]
- Scottish Gaelic: Tha leabhar agam [lit. "is book at-me]
- Manx: Ta lioar aym [lit. "is book at-me]
- Breton:
Ur Ul levr a zo ganin [lit. "a book is with-me"]
- Cornish: Yma lyver dhymm [lit. "
here is book to-me"]
- Welsh (North): Mae gen i lyfr (North Wales) [lit. "is with me book"]
- Welsh (South): Mae llyfr (gy)da fi [lit. "is book with me"]
- Welsh (literary): Mae gynnaf llyfr [lit. "is with-me book"]
This kind of structure occurs in a number of other languages that don't have the equivalent of the verb 'to have'. Russian, for example, uses a similar construction to show possession:
- У меня есть книга (U menja est' kniga) = I have a book [lit. "by/at me there is book"].
Do you know of any other languages that use this type of stucture?

20 Oddball Roadside Attractions in the US

The vision of artist Jim Reinders, who was inspired after a visit to the prehistoric temple of Stonehenge in England, Carhenge has been a fixture in western Nebraska since 1987. It consists of 38 cars placed to recreate the exact dimensions of the 96-feet-in-diameter UNESCO World Heritage Site original and spray-painted grey.

The vision of artist Jim Reinders, who was inspired after a visit to the prehistoric temple of Stonehenge in England, Carhenge has been a fixture in western Nebraska since 1987. It consists of 38 cars placed to recreate the exact dimensions of the 96-feet-in-diameter UNESCO World Heritage Site original and spray-painted grey.

The fact that that world's largest Ten Commandments—which are written in four-foot by five-foot cement letters—is located in the Fields of the Wood Bible Park in remote western North Carolina let's you know you're in for a religious experience. But you'll also get a workout because thou shalt climb more than 300 steps up Ten Commandments Mountain to best appreciate the word of the Lord.

Lots of thirsts were quenched to build the Beer Can House, a Houston landmark that owner John Milkovisch spent two decades covering with his own artistic version of aluminum siding: an estimated 50,000 beer cans. Milkovisch (who died in 1988) polished off the beer himself, aided by his wife Mary and some neighbors, and used every part of the can—flattened sides, bottoms and pull tabs—to put 222 Malone St. on the roadside wonders map.

What's a whirligig? It's any object that spins or whirls, and you'll commonly find colorful, folksy versions atop rural fence posts and barns. But North Carolina whirligig impresario Vollis Simpson has super-sized this craft by creating more than 30 massive moving sculptures from machinery parts and industrial salvage. Now 93, Simpson is allowing the town of Wilson, located between Raleigh and Greenville, to create the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park (opening in November 2013) filled with his fanciful art machines.

Billing itself as the Bugseum of New Jersey, Insectropolis in Toms River is dedicated to all things creepy and crawly, from fuzzy tarantulas and buzzing honeybees to glow-in-the-dark scorpions and Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Kids will likely love the hands-on opportunities to touch the bugs —while you'll probably prefer to simply look (and try not to scream).

Those 19th-century Victorians sure had a thing for hair—they not only created decorative wreaths from human hair, but also wore jewelry made from it as a token of affection or a remembrance of someone who had died. Leila's Hair Museum in Independence, Missouri, is the only museum of its kind, with more than 600 hair wreaths and 2,000 intricately woven pieces of jewelry—the oldest being a brooch made in 1680. Now that's some decorative DNA!

If Pisa, Italy, is too far a trek for you, head to Niles, IL, outside Chicago, where a half-scale replica of the Leaning Tower has stood since 1934 (Italy's original is more than 600 years old). Built by industrialist Robert Ilg to cover a water tower in a recreation park, the 94-foot-tall Leaning Tower of Niles is now owned and maintained by the local YMCA. Niles and Pisa have been sister cities since 1991, so try saying "ciao" instead of "cheese" when posing for your photos.

It weighs 68,000 pounds and stands 120 feet tall in front of the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in downtown Louisville. But baseball fans will be most excited to know that it's an oversized replica of the 34-inch Louisville Slugger used by Babe Ruth—with one exception: it's made of steel not wood.

Yes, they grow their buffalo big in North Dakota, but this giant-sized roadside buffalo sculpture, located in Jamestown (aka "Buffalo City") is the mother lode of photo-ops. Pose your posse in front of this 60-ton steel, mesh and stucco creation erected in 1959 and its 46-foot-long and 26-foot-high silhouette will have a "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" effect.

If you're feeling a wee bit insignificant, praying or meditating in the Cross Island Chapel, a tiny three foot by six foot church located in the middle of a pond in the upstate New York town of Oneida, might just be the antidote. Built in 1989, the non-denominational mini-chapel that seats two is also available for special occasions—which is certainly one way to cut down the guest list for your wedding.

Pull on your blue tights and fasten your red cape before heading to the City of Metropolis, an Illinois hamlet of 15,000 founded in 1839 and the official Home of Superman since 1972. Pose with a 15-foot-tall replica of the Man of Steel in Superman Square or check out the bronze of actress Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane on the 1950s TV series.

Everyone has a favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor (Cherry Garcia or Chubby Hubby, perhaps?), but alas some flavors were not long for this world. Being the clever marketers that they are, the Vermont-based innovators created a Flavor Graveyard, a plot of land set on a hill overlooking its factory and surrounded by a white-picket fence, where several dozen deceased—oops, discontinued—flavors such as Makin' Whoopie Pie and Bovinity Divinity are memorialized with poetic headstones.

Located at the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisconsin—which may sound like a snooze to anyone who isn't crazy about rubber waders and feathered lures—the Shrine to Anglers is anything but: it's a concrete, steel and fiberglass homage to a leaping muskellunge fish that stretches one-half city block long, towers more than four stories high and can accommodate 20 people on a platform in its gaping mouth.

If you dream of days gone by spent strolling alongside the River Thames in London, you can recapture some of that nostalgia in the arid desert environs of Lake Havasu City, where since 1970, the actual London Bridge (built in 1831) has stood after being deconstructed, transported 5,400 miles, and reconstructed at a cost of $2.46 million. It's the state's second biggest tourist attraction after the Grand Canyon.

"There was and old woman who lived in a shoe"…or was there? In Hellam, Pennsylvania, there was! This wood frame and stucco Shoe House was built in 1948 by the "Shoe Wizard of York" Mahlon Haines as an advertising gimmick/guesthouse. It measures 17 feet wide by 48 feet long, and has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room on five levels.

How did one slightly built man (said to weigh about 100 pounds) construct the Coral Castle, a labyrinth of love consisting of over 1,100 tons of coral rock hand-carved over 28 years? Located in Homestead, FL, south of Miami, it's the legacy of Edward Leedskainen, who was jilted by his true love, Agnes Scuffs, and secretly built this monument to her from 1923 to 1951. Another fun fact: Billy Idol was inspired to write "Sweet Sixteen" by Ed's story and filmed his music video at Coral Castle.

Rather than using traditional mural materials such as tiles or mosaics, the artists who create the original exterior murals every year at the circa-1921 Mitchell Corn Palace in South Dakota rely on 13 shades of naturally colored corn—ranging from red to black to green—as well as other grains and grasses. For a look at the decorating process, visit during September since murals are completed by the first of October (but the Palace is open year-round).

Few food products are the butt of as many jokes as SPAM, the pork shoulder/ham in a can luncheon meat first introduced in 1937 (an astounding seven billion cans had been produced by 2007—and that's no joke!). At the SPAM Museum in Minnesota, which opened in 2001, you'll learn tidbits such as how SPAM products are made and why they are so popular in Hawaii. Stop by the so-called "Guggenham" for ready-to-eat trivia, vintage advertising, and collectibles.

So, you're driving along desolate stretch of U.S. Route 90 outside Marfa in northwest Texas when you see a white-stucco building up ahead and as you get closer, you realize it's a Prada store—only it's not. Created in 2005 by artists Elmgreen and Dragset, it's a permanent sculpture installation featuring handbags and shoes on display in the windows, but it has never been open for business and never will be.

Was it an alien spacecraft or weather balloon? Were bodies collected and was there a government cover-up? Decades after a July 1947 incident near Roswell, the debate continues and the International UFO Museum and Research Center, opened in 1992, chronicles this incident as well as other UFO sightings and abductions, crop circles, and other matters of an extraterrestrial nature.

400 mile week, Strava online competition, a fun look back at old milestones
401 miles this week with 37,373 feet of climbing!
I wasn't sure if I was going to ride today with the winter storm warning, but the system wasn't moving in until later in the day. So I rode 45 miles on the way to church with almost 6,000 feet of climbing. Then after church I did a shorter 30 mile ride to take me over the 400 mile mark for the week (measured from Monday to Sunday). Check out the rides below (and temps – almost felt like Wisconsin!)

401 miles is the most I have ridden in one week since my college days in the 90's… back then, though, I did 400+ mile weeks once or twice a year and even hit 500 miles one week. I usually was way overtrained, though, and had pretty miserable racing results. To avoid that happening again, I'm following up this nice long week of riding with Monday and Tuesday completely off the bike (especially since we are under a winter storm and ice storm warning until Monday night).
I also entered a free online KOM competition for 2011 from Strava. Currently, I'm in second place!
2011 KOM Challenge on Strava. Barring injury, I'm hoping to win this.
And lastly, since 401 miles in one week is a new milestone (post-college), I found a few pictures I had taken of previous milestones in the past few years. 10,000 miles in one year for 2006 after training for and competing in Ironman Florida in November. 300 miles in one week in the middle of June of that year. The other stats for that week are also included. It was much easier back then – I had a bike computer that tracked time, speed, distance, and temperature. I would reset it once a week on Monday morning and accumulate a week's worth of stats over the course of a week. Now it's GPS systems and detailed individual ride analysis including power, heartrate, cadence, etc…
10,000 miles in one year – December 31, 2006
300 miles in one week – June 2006
300 miles in one week – total training time – June 2006
300 miles in one week – June 2006 – average speed for the week
300 miles in one week – June 2006 – maximum speed 53.1mph
How hilly is your ride?
We just got back to Alabama after traveling up to Wisconsin for Christmas and New Year's. On the way back home, we stopped to visit Kristine's grandmother in northern Indiana. During the trip, I got to ride in Wisconsin and Indiana. Then yesterday I did a 54 mile ride with over 6000 feet of climbing and today a 47 mile ride with over 5200 feet of climbing. So today I was inspired to share how I keep track of the "hilliness" of a ride. During a ride or ride segment, I keep track of the ratio of distance traveled in miles to total ascent (climbing) in feet divided by 100. If the ratio works out to be 1 to 1, then it is a really hilly ride. 2 to 1 is not very hilly, and 3 to 1 and above is really flat. For Garmin users out there, this is really easy to keep track of during the ride. Simply select distance and total ascent to be displayed on the same screen, ignore the last two digits of the total ascent, and divide! See the chart below for a comparison of the hilliness of rides in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Alabama along with a ride earlier in November in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

So how do you measure how hilly your ride is? Does anybody else have a different formula or approach?
Dick's to the Rescue
The weather forecast called for a cold rain pretty much all day today back here in Birmingham. But as I was working from home, I noticed a huge gap in the rain clouds on the radar. So I decided to go for the 60 mile climbing ride that I've been wanting to do after the flatlands and small rolling hills of the midwest. My legs felt a bit tired, but otherwise the ride was going great with no rain and relatively warm temps. The second time up Double Oak Way was too much for my aging rear tire, though, and I felt the squishy feeling of a tire going flat. Sure enough, the tire had maybe 20 pounds of pressure left in it. I stopped and proceeded to change the tire, patch up the small holes I found, and got ready to pump up the tire. Well, my CO2 cartridge didn't go onto the valve correctly and the air leaked out of the cartridge almost immediately. I was only able to get maybe 10 pounds of pressure back into the tire. I decided to see if I could ride back to the Bike Link store near Meadowbrook about 10 miles away. I went slowly with as much weight as possible on my front tire. Eventually, though, the little pressure I had left in the rear tire was all gone, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to ride. I pressed on and made it to the Bike Link shopping center on 280 only to find that the Bike Link store was gone. I knew that Dick's Sporting Goods (in the same shopping center) sold bikes, so I went in there instead hoping that they would have a bike pump. Not only did the very helpful employees lead me to the back of the store where they sold bikes so I could use one of their bike pumps, they also gave me a slime tube (self-sealing in case of a flat) and two CO2 cartridges for free because I didn't have my wallet with me!!! Wow, thank you Dick's!
After many thank yous, I took off because I only had 20 minutes to get from Dick's on 280 to Rocky Ridge Elementary school off of Acton Rd to pick up Analise from school. Kristine told me that she was running errands and might not be back in time to pick up Analise. Since I was supposed to be home by around 2:00 with school getting out at 2:45, I was supposed to be home in case she didn't make it back in time. Well, riding 10 miles with a flat tire greatly slowed my average speed and it was 2:25 when I left Dick's. I drilled it as hard as I could covering the 8.5 hilly miles through Meadowbrook, Caldwell Mill, and Acton Rd in 20 minutes (25.5mph). By miracle, I made every light on the way home including the 280 light, the Valleydale light from the back entrance of Meadowbrook and the Acton Rd lights! When I got there, the buses were just leaving, and the carpool line was starting to move so I rode right through the carpool line and up to a teacher I recognized to ask if Kristine had made it over to walk Analise home. She came back and told me yes. So relieved I rode around the back of the school and caught up with Kristine, Analise, and Josiah walking through the woods. Whew, what a fun ending to a miserable ride – the awesome folks at Dick's Sporting Goods really came through, and Analise wasn't left at school wondering where we were!

Last ride of 2010
The weather forecast for today included a winter weather advisory with really cold temps. We went to visit some friends about 30 miles away near Hayward, WI. I took my bike along to try to ride back to Shell Lake if the roads were clear enough. I mapped out a route that took me near the highest point in the area – Meteor Hill. Even though I was on my mountain bike, I was flying home with a stiff wind coming from the northeast, mostly a tailwind. Wonderful ride, and I'll let the video and pictures below tell the story.
Heading out from near Hayward, WI
Beaver lodge a few miles into the ride. I saw several more of them throughout the ride.
Interesting historical marker in the middle of the Indian Reservation that I rode through.
My Garmin tried to take me down this road. I don't think so.
Beautiful winter scene looking from near the top of Meteor Hill back down into a valley to the east.
Another beaver lodge – this one had lots of beaver tracks in the snow.
A very frozen Shell Lake – with a pickup truck driving out to the ice fishing huts.

At its March meeting, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council shrunk the size of the closed area it plans to recommend as a way to end overfishing for red snapper and rebuild stocks. The closure is part of Snapper/Grouper Amendment 17A, which the council expects to vote on at its June meeting in Orlando.
Originally, the council considered closing an area from the North Carolina/South Carolina border south to Melbourne, Florida, shutting down the harvest of all snapper and grouper species within that zone. But that area no longer includes waters off South Carolina, according to the new alternative.
Also this month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced it is requesting public comment - by April 19 - on its draft environmental impact statement for the amendment. Here's the direct link to the statement and to a reviewer letter that spells out how to comment - http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/sf/SGAmendment17A.htm - or read the notice below for details. The attached documents also explain the council's decision with a map of the potential closed area.
More info on proposed changes (.pdf)
See a map of proposed changes here (.pdf)
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries Service) is seeking public comment on a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Amendment 17A, which addresses overfishing of red snapper in the South Atlantic.
Actions contained within the DEIS include:
- Annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability
measures for South Atlantic red snapper;
- A rebuilding plan for red snapper;
- An area closure intended to end overfishing of red snapper (Note: at their March 2010 meeting, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council changed the preferred closure alternative from Alternative 4D to Alternative 3C) ;
- A requirement for circle hooks in the snapper / grouper fishery north of 28 degrees latitude; and
- A requirement for a program to monitor red snapper.
Request for Comments
Written comments on this DEIS must be received no later than April 19, 2010, in order to be considered by NOAA Fisheries Service. See the Addresses section for information on where and how to submit comments.
Electronic copies of the DEIS may be obtained from the NOAA Fisheries Service Web site at http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov, the e-Rulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov docket number NOAA-NMFS-2010-0035, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council's Web site at http://www.safmc.net, or for hard copies contact:

Dark brown, quite pale for the style, with an off-white head.
The aroma is lightly roasted with notes of milk chocolate, bourbon, toasted almonds, ashes and salty licorice.
The flavor is quite sweet with delicate malty backbone of roasted coffee, caramel, fudge and chocolate. Bourbon, almonds, vanilla and some light smoky notes. The finish is lightly bitter with lingering notes of oak, bourbon and salty licorice. Medium body, smooth carbonation.
I had high expectations on this one, and unfortunately they weren't really met. A decent barrel aged imperial stout, no more.

It has essentially no head. Though black as a country night, little foam suggests a thin body. The smell is nice. As I had, hoped, this seems like a testimony to the oak barrel--no sweet bourbon or other such influence--just a nose of rustic oak on big RIS. It's a deep, consistent, chocolatey, raisin-liquid. There are malts and anise, and there is oak barrel in a barn, untouched and virgin.
So why do I feel guilty about missing the bourbon? Do I compare this among all barrel-aged brews, or just non-bourbon BA brews? There's a difference! Oddly, I can't help but wonder what it'd be like aged in a Buffalo Trace barrel. It's good, but underwhelming. It's that flatness I feared at the outset! I'd like to have it again, but I am unlikely to seek it out.
Edit: After reading other reviews, I see it is indeed bourbon barrels. I'm shocked. I really don't get bourbon. Maybe this one's not just flat...but flatlined? But how wouldn't I get more nose? Perhaps I started too cold. I suppose I get it more as it warms, but I do not get a well-blended bourbon beer. I smelled goodness, and can get some of that (goodness), but for me the good bourbon has left the building.

2005 22oz bottle
Dark brown with not much of a head.
Smells of alcohol with an odd whiskey/bourbon type smell. I thought these were just regular oak-barrels, but used barrels. I don't know, there definitely a bourbony sort of odor. It's a little disconcerting.
Taste: Well, it's got a good chocolate malt flavor, but the alcohol is pretty strong. It's really almost too much, to be honest.
This is pretty thin.
Drinkability: This is a great beer, but really drinks like a nice whiskey, I can't possibly drink more than one and it's getting tough to finish this bottle.
This is a good beer, but the alcohol flavor, together with the thin watery mouthfeel is a turnoff. I thought it would age better, but I think I liked it better last year.

Got in a trade.
Poured into my tulip.
The beer is pour black with a very small head.
The nose is a mix of alcohol caramel coconut general bourbon barrel aroma dominate. As it warms the overwhelming alcohol smell subsides.
The taste is mainly bourbon wiht hints of sweetness and a tad vanilla.
The mouth is a bit thin with a overwhelming level of carbonation, given the style. The alcohol warms and leaves a little numbing on the lips and tongue.
I don't want to be one of those people but given the "hype" around this beer it is lackluster. Good flavors but no the flavors are good.

Black. No real head that I saw. At least it surely didn't last too long. Typical BA imperial stout aromas. Bourbon, oak, vanilla, some roast. Typical BA flavors. Bourbon, vanilla, oak, chocolate, some roast. Medium body. Silky. Light carbonation. There really isn't much here to set it apart for the rest of this sort. It really reminds me a lot of Schlafly BA Imperial Stout.

Black, but brown at the edges with a very light tan head that retains well and leaves bits of lacing. Sweet smell like a coffee with creamer; oak, vanilla, and bourbon is also present. It immediately gives me sweet malt and vanilla flavors. It also has some creamy, lactose notes to it. Roastiness seems rather subdued in comparison to the regular Blackout Stout. Amazingly smooth going down; full bodied with light carbonation. Great beer, thanks go to kmweaver for the bottle!

Buddhism in China: Beginnings
Buddhism first reached China from India roughly 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty China was deeply Confucian, and Confucianism is focused on maintaining harmony and social order in the here-and-now world. Buddhism, on the other hand, emphasized entering the monastic life to seek a reality beyond reality. Confucian China was not terribly friendly to Buddhism.
However, Buddhism found an ally in China's other indigenous religion, Taoism. Taoist and Buddhist meditation practices and philosophies were similar in many respects, and some Chinese took an interest in Buddhism from a Taoist perspective. Early translations of Buddhist texts from Sanskrit into Chinese borrowed Taoist terminology. Still, during the Han Dynasty very few Chinese practiced Buddhism.
Buddhism in China: Early Gains and Losses
The Han Dynasty fell in 220, beginning a period of social and political chaos in China. The northern part of China was overrun by non-Chinese tribes, and the southern part was ruled by a succession of weak dynasties. This chaos also weakened the hold of Confucianism among the ruling class.
In south China, a kind of "gentry Buddhism" became popular among educated Chinese that stressed learning and philosophy. The elite of Chinese society freely associated with the growing number of Buddhist monks and scholars. The dialog between Buddhism and Taoism continued, and the Taoist influence caused the Chinese to favor Mahayana over Theravada Buddhism.
In north China, Buddhist monks who were masters of divination became advisers to rulers of the "barbarian" tribes. Some of these rulers became Buddhists and supported monasteries and the ongoing work of translating the Sanskrit texts into Chinese. This separation of north and south China caused Buddhism to develop into northern and southern schools in China.
In the 5th century, the Wei dynasty of northern China absorbed the other tribes, and by 440 it controlled all of northern China. In 446 the Wei ruler, Emperor Taiwu, began a brutal suppression of Buddhism -- all Buddhist temples, texts and art were to be destroyed, and the monks were to be executed. At least some part of the northern sangha hid from authorities and escaped execution, however.
Taiwu died in 452; his successor, Emperor Wencheng, ended the suppression and began a restoration of Buddhism that included sculpting of the magnificent grottoes of Yungang.
Buddhism in China: Major Schools
Here are just four of the schools of Mahayana Buddhism that emerged in China:
In 402 CE the monk and teacher Hui-yuan (336-416) established the White Lotus Society at Mount Lushan in southeast China. This was the beginning of the Pure Land school of Buddhism. Pure Land eventually would become popular throughout large parts of Asia. Today it is the dominant form of Buddhism in Japan.
About the year 500, an Indian sage named Bodhidharma (ca. 470-543) arrived in China. At the Shaolin Monastery in what is now Henan Province, Bodhidharma founded the Ch'an school of Buddhism, better known in the West by its Japanese name, Zen.
Tiantai emerged as a distinctive school through the teachings of Zhiyi (also spelled Chih-i, 538-597). Along with being a major school in its own right, Tiantai's emphasis on the Lotus Sutra influenced other schools of Buddhism.
Huayan (or Hua-Yen; Kegon in Japan) took shape under the guidance of its first three patriarchs: Tu-shun (557-640), Chih-yen (602-668) and Fa-tsang (or Fazang, 643-712). A large part of the teachings of this school were absorbed into Ch'an (Zen) during the T'ang Dynasty.
Buddhism in China: North and South Reunite
Northern and southern China reunited in 589 under the Sui emperor. After centuries of separation, northern and southern China had little in common other than Buddhism. The emperor gathered relics of the Buddha and had them enshrined in stupas throughout China as a symbolic gesture that China was one nation again.
Buddhism in China: The T'ang Dynasty
The influence of Buddhism in China reached its peak during the T'ang Dynasty, 618 to 907. Buddhist arts flourished, and monasteries grew rich and powerful. Some Confucians and Taoists thought Buddhism had become too rich and powerful, actually. Factional strife came to a head in 845, when the emperor began a suppression of Buddhism that destroyed more than 4,000 monasteries and 40,000 temples and shrines.
This suppression dealt a crippling blow to Chinese Buddhism and marked the beginning of a long decline. Buddhism would never again be as dominant in China as it had been during the T'ang Dynasty. Even so, After a thousand years Buddhism thoroughly permeated Chinese culture and also influenced its rival religions, Confucianism and Taoism.
Of the several distinctive schools that had originated in China, only Pure Land and Ch'an survived the suppression with an appreciable number of followers. Tiantai flourished in Japan as Tendai. Huayan survives in Japan as Kegon. Huayan teachings also remain visible in Ch'an and Zen Buddhism.
And as the first thousand years of Buddhism in China ended, the legends of the Laughing Buddha, called Budai or Pu-tai, emerged from Chinese folklore in the 10th century. This rotund character remains a favorite subject of Chinese art.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson warned that it was "very likely" shortstop Jose Reyes would have to miss another 2-3 weeks with a hamstring strain, and now, from Adam Rubin, we have confirmation that Reyes will be sidelined for a short while:
Jose Reyes officially on DL with Daniel Murphy. Mike Baxter and Ruben Tejada promoted.
Reyes' agent, Peter Greenberg, says that Reyes should only be out for the minimum, which is nice, but this is nevertheless a frustrating turn of events considering Reyes was just on the disabled list with an identical injury. It's also worth considering that Reyes has probably lost some millions of dollars off his upcoming free agent contract due to his DL stints. Maybe that makes him more affordable for New York, who knows, but the DL stints make him a risky investment. You don't like to see leg injuries happening to a guy who depends so much on his legs.
Mike Baxter's a 26-year-old 1B/corner OF recently claimed off waivers from the Padres. He'll serve as bench depth for the time being, and might get a little time at first base with Ike Davis and Daniel Murphy out for the season. Ruben Tejada will fill in for Reyes at short.

The new Porsche Carrera 911 might not look much different from the last-generation car. It might not even look much different from the first generation. That doesn't mean the company just flips a switch and the new version is born. It takes years of research and development, and after that, testing.
Porsche uploaded a 10-minute documentary of the development and testing of the new 911, code-named 991, including extreme-weather exercises in South Africa and the Arctic Circle. The verdict--it takes a small army to make one of the world's greatest sports cars even better.
The video starts on South Africa's Western Cape. Porsche chose this location because of the diversity of the environment. The region has tall mountains arid basins and dust storms gathered by extremely strong winds. At the same time, another team of engineers puts the car through its paces above the 66th parallel north in the Arctic Circle.
Porsche first asks, "Why must a car operate in conditions most owners wouldn't live in, let alone drive in?"
Texas is fastest with an average of 78.3 mph, Alaska and District of Columbia are the slowest.
Whether you're stuck behind a dawdling driver (or two) on the interstate or inching along in an urban traffic jam, it can sometimes seem as if everyone around you is moving syrupy slow. But that could also depend on where you live or drive.
In New York -- the state and not just the city -- you may find yourself going slower since it has some of the lowest overall speed limits in the nation, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Whereas in Texas you may find yourself driving quite a bit faster since the Lone Star State ranks as having the highest overall speed limits in the U.S.
The nonprofit GHSA, a group that represents the highway safety offices for each U.S. state, placed Texas at the top of the list for having not only the highest speed limit in the U.S., 85 mph, but also the highest overall average top speed limits for both urban and rural interstates as well as limited access roads: 78.3 mph. This beats Idaho, the next fastest state with a top limit of 80 mph and an average top speed of 76.7 mph, by nearly 2 mph.
Oscar-winning actor will do whatever he feels like in several unscripted commercials for the new MKC.
Like many of McConaughey's film characters, Lincoln has been dazed and confused with its own image as a luxury brand. At this point even Cadillac, a brand that once seemed doomed to obsolescence, doesn't consider Lincoln to be a real competitor. Its miniscule sales and average products have taken a turn since Ford began marketing it as "The Lincoln Motor Company" in 2012 and put John Slattery from "Mad Men" as its leading man. But Slattery, as with Magic Johnson before him, didn't stay too long.
What Lincoln hopes to do now is channel McConaughey's inner Texan and easygoing, pensive personality into a series of commercials and web videos, some of which will be unscripted.
Automaker to test safety systems at new 500-acre facility in Sweden that mimics real road conditions.
Volvo has set an ambitious goal: building vehicles in which "no one should be killed or seriously injured" by the year 2020. While the automaker, like others, can perform a variety of crash tests and trials in labs and other facilities, real-world scenarios are more difficult to replicate. So the next best thing is to build that world.
The automaker is getting help on this from its Swedish neighbor AstaZero, which has just opened what Volvo calls "the world's first full-scale proving ground for future traffic safety solutions." Along with help from universities and suppliers, as well as the Swedish government, it's where Volvo will develop and test new active safety "driver assistance" systems such as its City Safety with pedestrian and bicycle detection that prevent accidents before they happen -- and will help achieve Volvo's no-death goal in six years.
The AstaZero proving ground is located near Volvo's world headquarters outside Gothenburg, Sweden, and will allow the creation of a multitude of environments, from urban to rural roads to multilane highways. "You can simulate all types of real-world traffic scenarios," Pether Wallin, CEO of AstaZero said in a statement. "At most proving grounds, the options are more limited."
Feature of car's Performance Data Recorder locks storage compartments, disables the radio and videos joy rides.
It's a typical question in the minds of many car owners -- and especially those with high-performance cars -- when they hand the keys to a parking valet: What will they do with my car that I won't know or see?
You have some clues if you get back in your car and the radio station has been changed and the stereo is cranked or there's extra miles on the odometer. But you don't always know if they've pilfered items from storage compartments or took your car for a joy ride.
Now owners of 2015 Chevrolet Corvettes can keep their cars safe and also capture most of what happens with the Valet Mode that's part of the optional Performance Data Recorder. It not only locks the car's storage compartments and disables the radio, but also records video, audio and vehicle data even while the owner is away from the vehicle.
"Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Harlan Charles, Corvette product manager, said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight."
VW's super Golf is faster than a GTI -- but is it more fun?
You've probably seen the 2015 Volkswagen Golf R in photos by now, which means you know it looks a heck of a lot like the 2015 Golf GTI. There are a few visual tweaks here and there, granted, but does the Golf R bring something like 10 grand more goodness than the GTI?
Volkswagen hasn't announced pricing, but the previous R was around $35,000 and the GTI starts at around $10,000 less than that. See, the GTI is a hell of a good car by any standard, and as you may have expected, the Golf R and the GTI share a lot in common -- even the engine is a couple ticks short of the same.
The Golf R makes substantially more power thanks to a larger turbocharger, different pistons and a revised cylinder head design, and unlike any other Golf, it comes standard with all-wheel drive. There are a few styling cues that set it apart from the GTI both inside and out, but it hardly feels like a completely different car when you swing the door open and plop buttocks in the seat. The shift action is shorter and more positive, and there are blue things smattered about, like the gauge needles and the ambient lighting. There are gigantic quad exhaust pipes, a lot like those that can be found on Audi thundercars (I already miss the center-exit system of the previous R).
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration takes first steps toward mandating V2V technology on new vehicles.
Following a yearlong, 3,000-car trial of vehicle-to-vehicle communications, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is taking the first steps toward mandating the crash-prevention technology on new vehicles.
NHTSA and the U.S. Department of Transportation have released a proposal and extensive research report on V2V technology that includes analysis of the yearlong field trial in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and other findings in the areas of technical feasibility, safety benefits, privacy, security and estimates on costs.
NHTSA said it would issue another report this month before DOT officials "begin working on a regulatory proposal" to be issued before President Obama leaves office in just over two years. NHTSA is also seeking public input on its research "to support the Department's regulatory work to eventually require V2V devices in new light vehicles."
Automaker's 'hacker princess' heads to Def Con to hire 20 to 30 security researchers
As cars become more connected and potentially leave their electronics exposed to hackers, Tesla is using the time-honored "if you can't beat them, join them" approach to battle the threat. Or, more specifically, have them join you. That's why the cutting-edge electric vehicle automaker was at the recent Def Con security conference in Las Vegas to recruit hackers.
The annual event is where the world's top network security experts and good-guy "white hat" hackers gather to network, discuss the latest security flaws and devise ways to keep malicious "black hat" hackers at bay. It was also the site of the release of a much-publicized list of the top 20 most hackable vehicles by a team of security researchers.
Tesla felt it was fertile ground for recruiting people to help to keep its cars from being compromised, especially after white hat hackers at the SyScan 360 security conference in China last month revealed that they were able to bypass the security protocols of a Tesla Model S to remotely operate the door locks, sound the horn and open the sunroof.
Ultra-high-end S-class gains a foot in length.
Maybach is on its way back -- though as an ultra-high-end trim level for the new S-Class sedan rather than a stand-alone marque. And this clip of what appears to be a Maybach sedan testing on the Nürburgring, courtesy of the dedicated 'Ring videographers at TouriClips, shows just how close to reality this Bentley Mulsanne competitor really is.
Based on what we can see in the video, the car will look more or less like our early rendering -- except the additional length (about a foot) seems to sit behind the rear doors in the area covered by black camouflage. The result is a more elegant roofline than we guessed at, but the overall proportions are more or less spot-on.
Unlike the Maybach 57 and 62, which were based on the architecture of the Mercedes-Benz W140 -- a sturdy platform, but one that the S-class had already replaced by the time the Maybachs went into production -- this new luxe sedan will share its underpinnings with the current W222 S-class.

Hopkins-Calzaghe official? (In Vegas April 12?), 1 Topic Merged Here

Hopkins-Calzaghe in Vegas on April 12th?
"I believe the date the 11th or the 12th of April. I know I'm just looking to make it happen. I don't believe anything is signed yet. I got a letter from Arnold Joseph and Richard Schaeffer saying that we have an oral agreement. I could say oral agreements have stood up for the last five years of my career. They expressed to me that we have a deal and I'm expecting an official confirmation on that no later than Monday. I was hoping to hear something yesterday or today, but I'm expecting things to be wrapped up the middle of next week the latest," stated light heavyweight king Bernard Hopkins in a recent interview.
Hopkins revealed that the fight would likely take place in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay or the MGM Grand and he hopes that HBO will be willing to do another 24/7 series for the fight. "I think maybe with a 24/7 if everybody is willing to pitch in, that's HBO, Golden Boy and Frank Warren, if they're willing to pitch in because that ain't free, but I think it would do everybody justice, not only in our bank accounts, but I think the fans will get to see the behind the scenes back and forth that goes on with the game. Again, this ain't a salespitch to convince anybody, I'm just saying that this is one of them kind of fights where I think 24/7 is needed to uplift what's already there. Coming off the heels of the big blockbuster that happened on December 8 one month later, I think it would be great."
Hopkins also revealed that he's been training lightly for the past two or three months, but he's planning on beginning serious training for the fight in about two or three weeks. Along with Brother Nasseem and Freddie Roach, Hopkins is considering reuniting with Mackie Shillstone. "I didn't use him for the Winky Wright for one reason or the other, but for this fight I see that his biggest weapon is punches in bunches and trust me, from what I've experienced with the Tarver fight with Mackie Shilstone, he got me to the point where I was throwing so many punches per round that it was unbelievable."
When asked whether or not Calzaghe would be one of the toughest southpaws he's ever faced, Hopkins emphatically stated, "Oh, No. No. No. Absolutely not. The best southpaw I ever fought in terms of being tricky is John David Jackson." In fact, Hopkins went so far as to say that Calzaghe was at the bottom of the list of southpaws he's faced, behind the likes of Robert Allen, Antonio Tarver and Winky Wright.

I honestly think that if Milkdud ever found the balls to fight Dawson, he'd get stopped.
Tarver has to be one of the luckiest men on earth. He won the lottery and caught Roy Jones at the right time in his career and then was exposed by Hopkins as being an average fighter at BEST... Only Iran Barkley was luckier in his first fight with Tommy Hearns.
