GLASS: Dimpled Mug (Sam Adams Octoberfest)
TEMP: Cellared @ approx 45 degrees
VINTAGE: 2007 (Blue Wax/Lager Aged 1 Year In Rye Barrels)
This pours up a dark amber, medium brown tinted, color. It gives up almost two-fingers of off-white colored foam for a head, which is loose and frothy. It recedes to a thin, filmy covering. Lacing is in thin strands, which are slightly sticky.
This is one of the best noses that I've ever smelled! It smells amazing!
It's a total overdose of maltiness. It's like going on a brewery tour about half an hour after they've added the malt bill. It's impossible to avoid the malt presence.
This has a big (toasted and raw) coconut presence. Lots of vanilla. It has a smell very much like caramelized sugar coated bananas. Light hints of oak. A mild, but very nice, wiskey preesnce. Light hints of spiciness (from the rye, presumably). A good hint of maraschino cherry sweetness.
Nice. Very bready and yeasty. The huge maltiness is still here. All of the nose, in fact, has followed through to the palate. Lots of bananas, brown sugar and toasted coconut notes. Mild hints of wiskey and oak. A good spice presnce in the finish, which keeps it from being too sweet.
This is delicious.
This has a medium body and a light-to-medium level of carbonation. It is very smooth and drinks well, but I'd like to see it have a little more life to it...and some creaminess.
Absolutely delicious and very drinkable. A touch boozy, but at 10.00%abv it's better masked than anticipated. I'd love to have a case (or two) of this one on hand.

Opened November 13, 2010 - 750 ml bottle, 2007 series.
Poured a vibrant copper-brown color with amber highlights and a nice creamy head that held itself well and evenly laced the glass.
Big nose of roasted malt, vanilla, caramel, and toasted bread with a hint of charred whiskey barrel aroma. There was a noticeable, but not unpleasant alcohol presence.
The flavors were rich and nutty, dark roasted malt, caramel and vanilla with a dry, spicy finish and lingering heat.
This had a big mouthfeel, medium to full-bodied and moderately carbonated.
Very enjoyable nightcap. I highly recommend opening one of these with a nice fire and a good cigar on a chilly evening.
Good job, Sam.

2007 Barrel Series, this is the rye barrel version of the curse the goat, blue wax.
Pours a ruby to amber color, clear, a very small skirmish of off white head gathers and gains maybe a 1/4 inch or so before fading back to the edge of the glass. Aroma shows a sunflower seed like nuttiness that mixes with a strong dose of whiskey. Also some soft sweet vanilla, some strawberry, ripe fruit notes on agitation, as well as a little coconut. Taste shows some of the coconut and vanilla notes up front, before the alcohol and whiskey notes sweep in and dominate, slightly peppery as they come with some of the sunflower seed like nuttiness in the background. Vanilla and caramel fade in and out of the taste. Mouthfeel is medium in body, not an overabundance of malt in the feel at least, and what is there is thinned and cut by the strong alcohol flavors. The alcohol is definitely forward in the taste and also in the feel, but it never becomes over the top or too much, just a big warming beer with a decent peppery bite. Not too bad, not quite as tastey as the stout for me, but a good showing for a whiskey influenced dopplebock, a good night cap for tonite.

Thanks to dpuia for sharing this 750ml bottle from the 2007 series on 1/25/10.
A - Poured a hazy copper body with amber highlights and a few gritty particulates suspended throughout, on top of which resided a slim off-white cap, though it disappeared rather quickly and yielded trace amounts of spotty lace around the glass.
S - Vanilla, caramel and dark fruit mingle with a hint of barrel wood and alcohol notes suggesting bourbon.
T - Melange of sweet caramel and vanilla with a touch of bourbon and wood notes. Finishes with a lush vanilla sweetness amidst a mild bourbon sting. Delicious!
M - Medium bodied with a smooth, slick texture and soft carbonation, resulting in a slightly chewy mouthfeel. Finishes with a mild alcohol warmth and residual sweetness on the palate.
D - Like bourbon-soaked caramel candies infused with vanilla, Curse the Goat is a delicious barrel-aged Dopplebock that delivers plenty of flavor and punch while maintaining a good drinkability. I really dug this one and found it not to be overly boozy.

Hand-held and backpack sprayers are inexpensive tools used to apply pesticides on small acreages. Home gardens, yards, small orchards, and Christmas tree plantations are examples of areas that often require pesticide applications to protect them from weeds, insects, and diseases. Effective pest control depends on applying the proper amount of pesticide. This can only be done if the spray equipment is calibrated accurately.
Every pesticide application tool consists of three major parts: a tank to hold the spray mix, a pump to provide pressure, and a nozzle/wand to deliver the chemical in the desired spray pattern. Figure 1 shows some examples of common hand-held and backpack sprayers. Most backpack sprayers have pressure regulators that allow delivery of the spray mix at a constant pressure. Since a constant pressure must be maintained for consistent application rates, these devices must be kept in good working order. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for periodic cleaning and inspection. Few hand-held sprayers contain pressure regulators, but fairly even pressure can be maintained if the hand pump is operated at a constant number of pumps per minute. It is not necessary to know the exact pressure output to calibrate your hand-held sprayer, just that it be constant. The total volume of the spray tank must be known in order to determine the area that can be covered per tankful. Most backpack sprayers hold 4 to 6 gallons of spray mix; hand-held sprayers hold 1 to 3 gallons. Spray tanks should be rinsed thoroughly after each use, because many pesticides are corrosive and can damage internal parts. It is also advisable to use different sprayers for insecticides and herbicides. If your spray tank is plastic and diesel or fuel oil is used as a carrier, the tank should be cleaned with detergent immediately after use. The oil may impregnate the plastic, leaving pesticide residue that could affect future applications.
Hand-held and backpack sprayers usually come equipped with a trigger valve and spray wand to which a single nozzle is attached. Nozzles come in various shapes and sizes and are carried by most agricultural chemical dealers (Figure 2). The newer nylon nozzles are lighter, more resistant to abrasive damage, and will not corrode. For spot applications, hollow or solid-cone nozzles work well, but only even-flat-fan or flood-jet types should be used for single-nozzle band applications. These nozzles will deliver a relatively even pattern and a constant application rate across the band. Nozzle output is measured in gallons per minute (GPM) at different pressures. Nozzles with low delivery rates (less volume per minute) are best for small sprayers, since more acreage can be covered with less carrier (water, oil, etc.). The angle of a nozzle's spray pattern and the height at which it is held from the ground determine the width of the spray pattern (Figure 3). This width is known as the effective swath width (ESW) and is important for sprayer calibration.
Two methods of calibration will be described. These are (1) spray delivery rate and (2) known area rate. Although either can be used alone, both should be completed as a check for accuracy. Method 1 is the idealized calibration, while Method 2 is the operational check. Adjustments in the rate of travel, nozzle height, or pressure/pump rate can be made if calibrations by the two methods do not match. Calibrations should be done with only water in the tank and in calm air, with wind not exceeding 7 miles per hour.
1. Lay out a 100-foot-long course in your plantation, yard, field, driveway, or road.
2. Fill your sprayer half full, and pump it to the normal operating pressure to simulate the average spray situation.
3. Traverse the course four times, spraying in a straight line as you would in a band application. Record time of each traverse to the nearest second, and measure the effective swath width (ESW) - width of wetted ground, foliage, or pavement - at several points along each traverse. Hold the nozzle at a consistent height above the ground. The height will vary for different people, but it should be one that is comfortable, normally between 18 and 24 inches above the ground.
4. Next, fill a gallon container four times from the sprayer, using the pump rate or pressure setting and nozzle used in the traverse in step #3 above. Time each fill to the nearest second. Determine the average gallons/minute using:
|60 seconds/minute
|= gallons/minute
|average seconds/gallon
For example, if the times for filling the gallon container are 350 seconds, 338 seconds, 335 seconds, and 340 seconds, the average time is 340.8 seconds/gallon. Using the formula, gallons/minute are then calculated:
|60 seconds/minute
|= 0.176 gallons/minute
|340.8 seconds/gallon
5. Determine the area covered per minute by the following formula (assuming a 100-foot traverse):
|ESW in inches
|= acres/minute
|average time in seconds for traverse
For example, if the sprayer's ESW is 24 inches, and the four 100-foot traverses are timed at 23, 25, 23, and 24 seconds, the average time is 23.75 seconds. Using the above formula, acres covered per minute are calculated:
|= 0.0116 acres/minute
6. Determine gallons/acre using:
|= gallons/acre
This is the carrier rate your sprayer delivers using the pressure setting/pump rate, nozzle, nozzle height, and walking speed you have.
Thus, using the data calculated in examples #4 and #5 and the formula above, the number of gallons required per acre can be determined:
|.0176 gallons/minute
|= 15.17 gallons/acre
|0.0116 acres/minute
7. Determine the area that can be sprayed by your sprayer for each tankful using:
|= acres/tank
Finally, using the above calculations, the area that can be sprayed with each tankful of a 5-gallon sprayer is:
|5 gallons/tank
|= 0.33 acres/tank
|15.17 gallons/acre
1. Fill your sprayer to a known mark between 1/2 and 3/4 full.
2. Lay out a 66-foot by 66-foot square plot (1/10 acre) in your plantation, yard, field, or other level area.
3. Spray the plot at the pace and nozzle height used in Method 1. Be sure to cover the plot completely, but do not overlap spray swaths.
4. Refill the sprayer to the known mark, measuring the amount of water needed to the nearest cup (8 fluid ounces).
5. Calculate the gallons/acre using the following:
|no. of cups
|X 10 = gallons/acre
|16 cups/gallon
For example, if you measure 24.5 cups in step #4 above, the gallons/acre will be:
|24.5 cups
|X 10 = 15.31 gallons/acre
|16 cups/gallon
6. Calculate the area that can be covered by your sprayer per tankful using Method 1, #7. Recall that the formula used in Method 1, #7, was:
|= acres/tank
Therefore, using the same 5-gallon sprayer and the gallons/acre calculated in #5 above:
|5 gallons/tank
|= 0.327 acres/tank
|15.31 gallons/acre
For accurate chemical application, gallons/acre calculations for Methods 1 and 2 should agree within 10 percent. To check this, use:
|gallons/acre Method 1 - gallons/acre Method 2
|X 100 = ±% error
|gallons/acre Method 1
For example, in Method 1, 0.330 acres were covered per tank, and in Method 2, 0.327 acres were covered per tank. Using the above formula, determine the percentage of error:
|(0.330 - 0.327)
|X 100 = 0.009 X 100 = 0.9% error
An error of 0.9 percent is within the desired accuracy range of +10 percent. If your actual calibrations result in an error exceeding 10 percent, recheck your calculations. If still in error, repeat Method 2, adjusting your pace, nozzle height, or pump rate to more closely approximate those used in Method 1. Be more careful to completely cover the 1/10 acre, but do not overlap spray swaths. Accuracy will improve with practice, but you should always strive to be within the +10 percent allowable error.
Once your sprayer is calibrated, you must determine the amount of pesticide needed per tank and for your entire operation. If pesticide recommendations are given in amount (pounds or gallons) of product/acre to apply, simply multiply amount/acre by acres/tank to determine amount/tank of pesticide needed.
For example, if 4 pounds of product are recommended per acre and the sprayer used can cover 0.2 acres per tank, the amount needed per tank is:
|4 pounds
|0.2 acres
|= 0.8 pounds/tank
|1 acre
Often, pesticide rates are given in amount of active ingredient per acre (a.i./acre). Since pesticides are never formulated as pure active ingredient, it is necessary to compute the amount of product/acre needed to apply the desired amount of a.i./acre. To calculate this for dry-formulated chemicals, divide the a.i./acre by the percentage of active ingredient listed on the label expressed by a decimal.
Liquid formulations often state the pounds a.i./gallon. If the application rate is given in pounds a.i./acre, divide pounds a.i./acre by pounds a.i./gallon to give gallons/acre of product necessary.
For example, if the product label lists the formulation as 4 pounds a.i./gallon and the recommendation calls for 3 pounds a.i./acre, then:
|3 pounds a.i./acre
|= 0.75 gallons/acre of product required
|4 pounds a.i./gallon
Regardless of the formulations, once the amount of product/acre is calculated, again simply multiply the amount/acre by acres/tank from your calibration to determine amount of pesticide to be added for each tankful of spray mix. Thus, if 0.75 gallons of product are needed per acre and 0.2 acres can be sprayed per tank, then 0.75 gallons/acre x 0.2 acre/tank = 0.15 gallons/tank.
To determine pesticide needs for your entire operation, multiply acres to be sprayed by amount of product/acre. To determine tankfuls to be mixed, divide acres to be sprayed by acres/tank. Remember, only the area actually sprayed should be used. If band or spot applications are used, this is only a fraction of the total plantation area.
Chris Tree wanted to spray atrazine, as Aatrex 80W (the "W" indicates the herbicide is in a wettable powder form), in his 20-acre white pine Christmas tree plantation. Mr. Tree marked out a 100-foot traverse in his plantation. He filled his 4-gallon backpack sprayer half full with water, installed a 15-psi (pounds per square inch) pressure spring in the regulator, and attached an even flat-fan nozzle. Holding the nozzle at a constant height, he then sprayed the traverse four times, timing each traverse and measuring the ESW at several points. His travel times were 21, 24, 23, and 24 seconds. His average travel time was 23 seconds. His average ESW was 36 inches. He then filled a 1-gallon milk jug four times. His average fill time was 182 seconds (3 minutes, 2 seconds). His delivery rate was:
|60 seconds/minute
|= 0.33 gallons/minute
|23 seconds
His area covered per minute was:
|36 inches
|= 0.01799 acres/minute
|23 seconds
Therefore, his gallons/acre covered were:
|0.33 gallons/minute
|= 18.34 gallons/acre
|0.01799 acres/minute
This is well within the 10-20 gallons/acre carrier rate suggested.
Chris wanted to spray a 3-foot band over his trees, which are planted 5 feet apart in the row and 8 feet between rows in the 20-acre plantation. Since he is spraying 3 feet of every 8 feet, he will need enough chemical to spray 3/8 (or 0.375) x 20 acres = 7.5 acres. His Extension agent recommended spraying 5 pounds active ingredient of atrazine per acre. The label of Aatrex 80W says it is 80% active ingredient. Since Chris' sprayer holds 4 gallons/tank, he can cover:
|4 gallons/tank
|= 0.218 acres/tank
|18.34 gallons/acre
He will need:
|5 pounds a.i./acre
|= 6.25 pounds Aatrex/acre
Then, 6.25 pounds/acre x 0.218 acre/tank = 1.36 pounds Aatrex, which should be added to each 4-gallon tankful to get the rate he desires.
As a check on calculations, he will need 6.25 pounds/acre Aatrex x 7.5 acres = 46.9 pounds of Aatrex. Then, since he can cover 0.218 acres/tank, he will need:
|75 acres
|= 34.4 tanks
|0.218 acres/tank
Then, 34.4 tanks x 1.36 pounds/tank = 47 pounds Aatrex, which matches the above calculation. Accurate sprayer calibration is essential to a successful application. Following the simple calibration steps described herein will ensure that your time and money will not be wasted on an application that does not give the desired results.
If you have any questions about hand-held or backpack sprayer calibration, the calibration of any other type of sprayers, or the selection of pesticides for application, contact your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office, listed in the phone book with other local government agencies. Your local forester from the Virginia Department of Forestry can provide assistance with pesticides as well as other forest management practices.

8 Washington and the Warriors
I won't be a bit surprised if the Warriors start putting money behind Simon Snellgrove's efforts to win ballot approval for his 8 Washington condo project. And it won't be just because of general developer solidarity. And I don't think the basketball team owners are counting on a lot of fans living just down the Embarcadero -- odds are a lot of the people who buy Snellgrove's ultra-luxury condos won't live in San Francisco much of the time anyway.
No: What the Warriors realize is that the fate of their arena could be linked to the fate of the height-limit battle on Snellgrove's lot.
The mayor has called the Warriors Arena his legacy project. The head of the Planning Commission says it's a done deal. Despite the screwy financing and the serious problems with traffic and transit, this thing is moving forward through official San Francisco on greased skids.
But given the way things work in this city, it's almost certain that the arena will wind up on the ballot. Either the Warriors will organize an initiative campaign to put it before the voters, or the opponents will. And in this case, both sides will have money -- the neighbors who don't want the project are a relatively well-off bunch.
It's too late for anything to happen for the Warriors this fall, which means a likely battle in November, 2014. But the voters this fall may very well reject the condo towers, and if they do, it will likely hinge on the notion that San Francisco has historically reduced height limits near the Bay. Polls show most voters don't want tall buildings on the waterfront. And a strong vote to reinforce that would have impacts for any future projects.
"If 8 Washington goes down," former Mayor Art Agnos, who opposes both projects, told me, "then the people will have spoken out about big buildings on the waterfront, and the Warriors will be in trouble."
Remember: The arena is only one piece of the Warriors' project. There's also a shopping mall, hotel and highrise housing planned for the area -- and without the highrise on Seawall Lot 333, the arena doesn't pencil out. So you can love the idea of a big ol' flying saucer thingy on a concrete pad four times the size of Union Square sitting on the edge of the Bay and still not like the idea of (once again) spot-zoning a waterfront lot for high-end condos that will block people's views.
If I were opposed to the arena, I'd be reaching out to the folks fighting Snellgrove and throwing some cash their way. Because this is the first in a series of battles over the use of waterfront land, and its importance goes far beyond 134 condo units.
There are skyscrapers all the way down to the embarcadero, from Clay Street to the north to Howard Street to the south.
And neither the arena nor these condo's are remotely high-rise - no more than 150 feet IIRC.
Why not just admit you hate successful people and you hate change? It would be so much simpler and actually show some honesty.
When so-called "successful people" go around mocking up the world, then, yes, they deserve hate mail!! But these successful people had to rig the system to get their way in the case of the proposed Warriors arena, commercial and condo development. First, the City has heights limits on the waterfront so we can all enjoy the views. What's the reason the Warriors can't build in an area zoned for the heights it's proposing? Second, the Bay Conservation and Development Agency was created to have oversight on these waterfront developments but the Warriors again greased the system by getting "special legislation" to reduce BCDC authority over their project.
While the undeveloped part of the waterfront is rotting and decaying, and there is nobody there "enjoying the views".
It's a non-issue. Everyone loves Pier 39 and the ballpark. They will love this too.
would be very interested in a story on Richard and Barbara Stewart who majority funded the current no wall on the waterfront ballot initiative.
Any chance of writing a story on those people who might lose their golden gateway living room view of the bay?
Anyone around in 2003 can't forget the mayor's race, when the Chonicle wrote a long article the weekend before the election about the under-priviledged nature and hardships of Gavin Newsome, son of one of the shrewdest and most powerful CA Appelate Court justices, who later whored his brilliant brain to the world's then richest man, Gordon Getty.
The Chronicle loves wealthy developers who build million-dolllar homes since the Chronicle hopes to profit from them every time one is for sale. Besides the endless soft-porn articles about pop stars and endless photo shoots ranging from restaurants serving $250 dinners to remote, pristne camping sites that had once eluded the masses, the Chonicle is your best bet for supporting high-end house porn, so best check with them.
I'm not sure I follow. I was asking if the SFBG would write an article about a single elderly, white, married couple who primarily funded the efforts to collect signatures for the no wall ballot initiative.
The initiative is being touted as the voice of the people - yet it is primarily paid for by a single wealthy couple that live in a high rise community and wish to protect their personal view.
Would also be interesting to do a story on how the IRS is investigating some of the non profits who have thrown money into the no wall campaign for money laundering
harm their pet causes.
For instance, the entire IRS scandal that is rocking DC is not even happening if you believe the SFBG. And yet if the IRS had been targeting left-wing groups, they'd be all over it like a rash.
Don't come here for objective journalism.
The 8 Washington developer's attorney asked the IRS to investigate their political opponents -- that's not an actual investigation any more than the IRS is investigating Simon Snellgrove for his funneling lobbying and campaign donations through non-profit groups all over town: unless they are . . .
Grocery shopping at the Protrero center on Sunday afternoon, I was approached by a ballot canvasser for "a new park".
The new park, on closer inspection, was on top of part of the 8 Washington complex. It was in reality a ballot to have 8 Washington put in place.
Wholly deceptive. Disgusting.
As opposed to the current situation, where it is a private recreation club for wealthy commuters from elsewhere who work in downtown SF.
...where none exists now because of the tennis club and parking lot. Including a new playground.
What the canvasser said was entirely on a par with "raising the height limit on the entire waterfront" and building a "wall on the waterfront".
It's ony "Wholly deceptive. Disgusting." when the other side does it. When your side does it, it is "forceful advocacy".
They're not telling people the truth. As previously reported in these pages, "Golden Gateway, which was built in a redevelopment area as middle-class housing . So they are building a gated community for rich white folks on land that was supposed to be for the middle-class. And circumventing tax and housing laws to do it. Oh, and since when does "our side" privatize public space for personal gain? Give me one example. You can't do it, because that's almost exclusively the prerogative of the rich. Progressives have fought to keep these spaces accessible for everyone -- those who are truly progressive, anyway...and not just in name.
Who is spreading misinformation now?
That property is currently private, and 8Wash will return some of it to public use. If it isn't built, then you will continue to have no access.
I love the way that the members only tennis club is "for the middle class". Last I heard it was $110 a month but that was awhile ago. So a couple can pay close to $3,000 a year to play tennis and swim there. Real working class heroes.
because the GG facility was expensive. I'm sure it's even pricier now.
So nice of progressives to want to preserve a club that would not admit them as members.
>"Oh, and since when does "our side" privatize public space for personal gain? Give me one example. "
Okay. But could you please tell me where I said that your side does that? Because I didn't. You made that part up.
What I did say is that these paid canvassers earn their money by spinning the argument in their favor, e.g., "Wall on the waterfront".
Surely you know about paid canvassers...YOUR SIDE used them first. So you probably looked the other way until the other side started using them.

By Carrie Wilson, marine biologist with the California Department of Fish and Game.
I have a question about bears and kids. We live on 10 acres where we have a large garden, fruit trees, berry bushes and two horses. We definitely have bears that come around as our fruit trees (and those of our surrounding neighbors) have claw marks on them as evidence. My concern is for my six-year-old-son who enjoys playing outside. Although I keep an eye on him, there are times when he plays unsupervised.
My question is: If children encounter bears should they follow the same advice as adults - stand still, face the animal but don't stare, make noise and try to appear as large as possible?
I understand to teach him not to run, but if a bear comes up close he would be so much smaller than the bear and so vulnerable.
There is no way he could make himself bigger than the bear or have a loud and deep enough voice to scare it off.
Shouldn't I also teach him to back away slowly and get inside? Is standing there looking at the bear and calling for me the best thing to teach him? I need some advice on how to teach my child exactly what he should do.
Thank you. (Kelly, Crescent City)
Answer: I certainly understand your concern. According to Department of Fish and Game (DFG) Senior Wildlife Biologist and bear expert Doug Updike, children should follow the same procedures as those given for adults, which you mentioned.
Bears are more attracted to fruit, food and garbage, however, than to people, but the very best situation is that your children not find themselves in a vulnerable or unsupervised position in the event of a surprise visit.
If you have wild animals in your area, you need to closely supervise your children. Mountain lions and coyotes pose a much greater threat than a bear.
Still, the likelihood of having your child attacked by a bear, mountain lion or coyote is extremely low as wild animal attacks, while tragic, are not common.
For more on living safely with bears, lions and coyotes, please visit DFG's Keep Me Wild Web site at www.dfg.ca.gov/education/living.html.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker has ruled out a bid for New Jersey governor and is eyeing a run for U.S. Senate in 2014.
Booker's announcement on Twitter Thursday ended months of speculation over whether the Democratic Party's biggest draw would seek to challenge Gov. Chris Christie in next year's governor's race.
The Republican governor's approval rating reached an all-time high after Superstorm Sandy.
There's no word on whether Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg will retire.
Lautenberg is 88. Booker is 43.
His second term as mayor of the state's biggest city ends in mid-2014.

After this album was released Metal Church called it quits due to poor album sales and poor concert ticket sales. How the hell does that happen, this band is heavier and true to the classic thrash than Metallica but they get ignored, it's truly sad, this album needed more advertising and it would have been big in the metal community. Great solid album from an awesome metal band, lets hope we have not seen the doors closed to the Metal Church forever.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This album simply rocks. Every song is solid, with no throwaways. The title track leads off and is probably the strongest song. By far their best effort since Ronny Munro has taken over the vocals. Wish they were able to tour right away, but Kurt Vanderhoof's back is acting up, so their tour is on hold for six months.
If you are a Metal Church fan, you will love this. Do not hesitate to buy it. Well worth the $$$$.
My quick thoughts are this – it's a good offering of new Metal Church, but other than a few songs (In the company of sorrow, monster and war never won), it's kind of lacking. Nothing jumps out at you or says "yes, this is awesome."
I'm sure I will listen to this CD from time to time, but in reality….there isn't anything to make someone come back to it. No killer riffs, catchy choruses, etc…
I will say, the cover (done by a fan), is awesome!
You've got to give them credit where credit is due. Sure, just Kurdt Vanderhoof is the lone remaining original member, but Metal Church is still a real band, not just Vanderhoof and a bunch of studio "rented" musicians. Hell, this is singer Ronnie Munroe's 3rd album. As you know, not many bands from the early 80's are still around playing, let alone releasing new material every other year.
The music itself you ask? If you are a fan of Metal Church, then you'll enjoy this disc. Is the music just a carbon copy of previous releases? A bit Yes, which is a good thing, and a bit No, which is a great thing. This Present Wasteland is far better than their last effort called A Light in the Dark (which was still good stuff). Kurdt and the boys decided to turn it up a notch or two on the heaviness, distortion, and overall "metal" sound. There are some killer riffs, solos, memorable choruses, heavy drums, and outstanding singing on ALL tracks! Easily the BEST Monroe has done with Metal Church. Also, the songs themselves are well written lyrically and musically. You can tell they took a bit more time in the studio with this one….no filler whatsoever. On many songs, you get that classic "Metal Church" intro sound (before the heavy riff comes in) that could be right out of their S/T album 25+ years ago.
In my mind, this band will always have the title of "Most Underated Metal Band". They'll get no airplay or recognition by any magazines, but any real metal fan knows this doesn't matter, and only makes it better. Metal Church once again delivers. Pick this one up and keep giving them your support. I hope they keep it going for many more years.
With the turnover this band has had over the years it has now become Vanderhoof's baby and whoever it seems he can recruit to play on it. This is the third album with Ronny Munroe singing, Jeff Plate returns on drums with Steve Unger on bass and adding Rick Van Zant on second guitar. This is straight ahead power metal with some thrash touches without any symphonics like so much European power metal. Somehow they manage to make very consistent albums which tells me Vanderhoof knows what he wants and how to get it out of the band. Many decry Ronnie's vocals not being Waynes or Howes but they should be measured on their own right and they fit very well. Listen to albums by all three and the music is right for each one. With new releases by Metallica and Testament getting the attention in thrash circle it's hoped this doesn't get overlooked as it's a quality slab of American heavy metal. The artwork is all done by fans which is a nice touch and there are actually some pictures inside that I think would have been better covers. Good stuff.

GARRISON, Minn. (AP) -- A bear cub found abandoned, injured and malnourished in northern Minnesota has not survived.
Linda Woodruff of Zimmerman found the male cub while walking her dogs Saturday.
Woodruff brought the bear to the Wild and Free Rehabilitation Program at Garrison Animal Hospital.
She was told the bear weighed only 25 pounds, and should have weighed 60 pounds. She says the bear's head had to be held up so it could eat.
Despite a veterinarian's efforts, the decision was made to put the cub down. The young bear was getting weaker despite an infusion of food and fluids, and X-rays showed additional fractures.
KARE-TV reports doctors decided the bear would have died if released to the wild, and would live in constant pain if maintained in captivity.

Tips for furnishing and maintaining your bedroom:
image by Pearlie Ng
Keep it clean. Make the bed upon waking up. Regularly clean and dust off. Also, make sure that you put things back to their proper places.
Buy the linens that perfectly fits your mattress. Make sure that you have with you the measurement of your mattress when you go shopping for bed linens. Get the correct dimension of your mattress, its length, width and pocket size.
Consider smart storage solutions. In order to keep the bedroom as relaxing and restful as possible, it should be free from clutter. Customize your bed to have drawers underneath to store clutter. Also, a chest of drawers, side tables that function as bedside storage and others are clever ways of making the bedroom clutter-free.
Less is more when it comes to your night table. Your night table is not a shelf so avoid putting too many items on it. Just place the items that you need to reach easily.
Avoid eating inside your bedroom. Do not bring food inside the bedroom as crumbs that you leave behind can become a breeding ground for unwanted pests and insects.

Big hostel, around 100 beds total. Good place for meeting people. Lots of public areas. Three computers for internet. On weekends social gatherings take place, so if your room is close to the yard you may have trouble sleeping. Free coffee and milk for breakfast. In my room there were 6 beds with just 2 lockers. Small bedclothes that didn't cover my whole body. Weather was cold and heating was OK. Staff are friendly but some of them don't know the town well.

Booked this hostel as it was one of very few available at the time. Good points are the huge, well-equipped kitchen and fast wi-fi. Reasonable atmosphere in the patio area but I think there are better hostels in Cordoba for this. Location is a bit far away from the nightlife, however there are big supermarkets and a parilla restaurants nearby. The standard of the bathrooms in this hostel is awful, I think there are disputed border regions in Africa with better facilities.

Only argentinian, french and israeli people here, who did not speak English. Not a nice place to be when you are traveling alone. There were 2 girls in my room who made a big mess of the room (we were with 3 people in a 6 person bedroom, so luckily we could still move around). Breakfast was 1 very tiny sandwich. The showers were really dirty, and no one had hangers to put up your clothes. The mattresses were extremely filthy. I have stayed in many hostels, but I wouldn't recommend this one.

CATEGORIES MoviesNo movie genre commits to excess quite like horror. And that commitment to over-the-top tension, gore, and body count often translates to an overabundance of sequels.
For instance, the number of follow-ups to now-classic franchises like "Halloween," "Scream," "Friday the 13th," and "Nightmare on Elm Street" runs into the double digits, but, for the most part, they never quite live up to the original.
However, there are a handful of sequels that have equalled or, in some cases, outshined their predecessors. Sure, they're as rare as unicorns, but they do exist. And here they are, in no particular order.

Councillors to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela (From Times Series)

Barnet Council meeting to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela
Updated 2:11pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Anna Slater, Chief Reporter
Councillors will mark the life and work of Nelson Mandela at an extraordinary council meeting in his honour.
People will pay tribute to South Africa's first black president at Hendon Town Hall on Tuesday, before a full council meeting at 7pm.
But Barnet Labour Group's decision to hold the meeting has come under fire from some who feel he has "nothing to do" with Barnet.
Independent Councillor Brian Coleman said: "This is outrageous. It's not an emergency, extraordinary council meetings are to discuss matters of huge importance.
"They should be used sparingly. It's a huge abuse of process for someone who never visited Barnet - we didn't even have one for Thatcher.
"We're not the united nations, we're not parliament, we're dealing with resident's real issues and worries - but yet they want to pontificate on Nelson Mandela."
During the meeting, Labour councillors will call for a Nelson Mandela Lecture to be heard annually during Barnet's Black History Month.
Mr Mandela, who spent 27 years behind bars for his political actions, died aged 95 in December.
Defending the meeting, Labour leader Cllr Alison Moore said: "Mandela was a huge international figure, a real world figure. He wore his greatness lightly and was genuinely humble.
"The spirit of Mandela is bringing everyone together. We've got challenges in Barnet too, trying to move forward at times of economic constraints, but we take inspiration from Mandela.
"The message of using the memorial lecture is to celebrate his life, and to give the younger generation someone to look up to."

This is a horrendous abuse of process.
Nelson Mandela was a great man and the world will be a poorer place with his passing.
For the Labour group to use his memory for their own political statement is shocking.

ODU/NATO Symposium On Hurricane Preparedness Today
With the Hampton Roads region sitting only a few feet above sea level and a potential for hurricanes and flooding, the 2008 Azalea Festival Symposium will take a critical look at all aspects of disaster preparation, likelihood, and response.
The symposium, titled "Katrina Over Hampton Roads: Are We Ready?" is today 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk.
Headquarters, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation will co-host the symposium with ODU, which brings together military, academic and industry leaders from home and abroad to discuss disaster preparedness in Hampton Roads. In addition to analyses from policy makers and panel discussions with key executives, the conference also will feature workshops in key areas such as water and consequence management, protecting critical infrastructure and emergency response.
Conference speakers include Hon. Jay M. Cohen, Undersecretary for Science and Technology, U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security; Hon. Robert P. Crouch, Assistant to the Governor for Commonwealth Preparedness; Prof. Eelco H. Dykstra, M.D., Visiting Professor of International Emergency Management, George Washington University; Jan Franssen, Queen's Commissioner for South-Holland and Chairman of the Netherlands Flooding Management Task Force; and retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honore, former Commander, Joint Task Force Katrina.
The Hampton Roads area is the home to the second largest port on the east coast of the United States and the largest naval base in the world. The Netherlands, meanwhile, is one of the most low-lying countries in Europe and home to the port of Rotterdam, the largest in Europe. There is a long-standing common interest in this issue between the two regions, and both have experience, expertise and knowledge that can be shared to mutual benefit.
The Netherlands has centuries of experience in flood management and land reclamation, and they have become worldwide leaders and generated a booming industry in that field.
"In that sense, water represents not only a problem, but also an opportunity to the Dutch," said Prof. Eelco H. Dykstra, Professor of International Emergency Management at George Washington University and International Coordinator for the Dutch-American International Centre for Water and Emergency Management. He will be one of the symposium's keynote speakers.
"With a very dense and highly developed infrastructure, the Dutch have become more vulnerable. With 55% of their territory below main sea level, and 60% of the population living in that territory generating 65% of the GDP, the Dutch have had to shift the focus of their flood policies," said Dykstra.
The partnership between ODU and ACT is critical for Hampton Roads and for the Alliance. Bedford hopes the report generated in this symposium will be useful for all NATO nations as well as Hampton Roads and the Federal government.
"Combining what we do here as a university with what ACT has in place with concentrations on international policy and operations makes for a perfect match to bring these forces together to study something as complex as emergency management," said Dick Whalen, director of military activities for ODU.
"I think it can only help us to strengthen ties," said Dick Bedford senior symposium coordinator for ACT. "We're in this together, and it takes all of us to make it successful."
The symposium is by invitation only, but free and open to media. Visitors should enter through the 43rd Street entrance and check in at the registration table. Parking is available in the Constant Center garage, directly across from the entrance on 43rd Street between Hampton Boulevard and Monarch Way. For a complete itinerary and more information, visit the Azalea Symposium webpage on the ACT website: www.act.nato.int
For additional information from ACT, please contact U.S. Navy Lt. j.g. Matt Gill at 757-747-3227 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or for more information from ODU, please contact Scott Lowe at 757-683-6394 or email@example.com.

3.03/5 rDev -28.5%
Stopped in on my way to Torst. Fine atmosphere, pretty bar-ish. While looking at the list was approached by a sever letting us know that all tables were served by servers - ok fine.
Was very underwhelmed by the tap list, nothing that I had to try, ended up leaving. Hard to compare with so many other establishment that are making an effort to have varied tap list. Perhaps I am missing something.

Vibe: Mugs has been serving up craft beers since Williamsburg became one of the "in" places to live in Brooklyn and continues to serve as a neighborhood bar with a great beer selection. True to its name, they have a large collection of mugs hanging around the walls in the front room. It can get pretty crowded during their annual festivals such as the Split Thy Skull or Belgium 2 Brooklyn but isn't that bad during other times, especially since they have a back room with tables and an outdoor seating area. I really like how they still have a pinball machine and cater to a few regular customers that always seem to be sitting at the bar.
Quality: Beers are served at the correct temperature in the proper glassware.
Service: The bartenders seem to be very knowledgeable about the beers that are currently available. Sometimes the bar can get crowded but this is a good place to get a table and order some food as the waitresses are able to bring beers back from the bar a lot quicker. The wait staff is very friendly.
Selection: With nearly 30 beers on-tap and one on cask, this bar has a pretty good selection of beers. A couple of beers are usually permanently featured on-tap such as Guinness, Hoegaarden, Lindemans Framboise, and Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier but there are enough other taps to provide a selection of new beers. They also offer a "Sweet Hoe," which is a mixture of Lindemans Framboise and Hoegaarden. If you want to try interesting selections, come here for one of their festivals when they'll have about 20+ beers available on Saturday and another 20+ different beers available on Sunday.
Food: I've eaten food here on countless occasions and was never disappointed. The standard types of appetizers are available if you are looking for something to munch on and you can't go wrong with a burger or a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. They also have a basic weekend brunch menu with choices such as omelettes and a breakfast burrito. The best food selection is available during dinner when a couple of daily specials are available.
Value: Prices for beers and food are quite reasonable, especially when you consider that the draft beers come in 20 oz. pours. They also have a beer of the week special.

Went here after visiting Brooklyn Brewery.
A - Place had activity. A couple tv's showed the World Baseball Classic. Nice relaxed feel.
Q - Plenty of well maintained taps. Glassware was appropriate. All offerings wer enoted on a chalkboard easily to see.
Ser - Bartenders were prompt and knowledgeable.
Sel - About 15 taps from what I could see and a great mix of imports and domestics plus some limited stuff. I had Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer and it was really good.
Food - Didn't have but what I saw people eating looked good.
Value - Compred to other places I went to the prices were better for what you got.
Honestly, this place should be the #1 craft destination in Brooklyn. I will find a way back here even though I'm not normally in Brooklyn much.

This is the absolute best bar in Williamsburg , Excellent selection of taps that is constantly rotated, and service that is unmatched. This bar provides a much needed escape from the hipster dominated bars which line Bedford ave. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is always prompt. This is the kind of bar you can walk into on a Saturday night, and the place is never overcrowded. In addition, the food from the kitchen is excellent and is served until pretty late. If you are in Williamsburg, this is the only bar you need to make a stop in for a great night out.

Stopped in here for Sunday afternoon lunch.
Atmosphere is an old small corner bar in Brooklyn, cool little spot, TVs showing the Jets game, a handful of seats, and a small bar up front.
Quality is good, taps were dominated by craft beers. I had a Rockway ESB and a Stone 10th Ruination. Unfortunately the Stone 10th Ruination tasted like it was either from a dirty line, and/or was past it's prime.
Service was fine. Our server was pretty nice and prompt enough, not super friendly though. Seemed a bit disinterested at times.
Selection was nice. They had about 24 taps with a nice variety.
Food was ok, I was hoping for better when I read the menu though.
Overall, a pretty nice spot, close to Brooklyn Brewing too.

We checked this place out for the first time on our recent trip to New York. This was our second trip to NYC and both times we have based in Brooklyn. My visit started out right when I got in a nice conversation with the gent who runs the place and his best customer. Both were great guys and added to the visit and friendly nature of this establishment. Kate the waitress was tremendous as well and helped us with directions around the neighborhood. Great selection of taps and a couple of cask offerings too. I normally would opt for cask but the beers being offered in real ale form did not appeal. No worries as the Kelso IPA and Smuttynose IPA were very very good. The beers at Mugs are very well kept and served properly. 20 oz pours in British pint glasses heightened my enjoyment. I only wish we had discovered this gem of a pub much earlier. Food was good too, a very satisfying experience overall. Very highly recommended!

I have to admit that I have been going to Mugs for over 10 years and just finally got around to writing a review of it. I used to visit whenever I was in the NYC area and now get there a little more frequently since I live in the area. I even stopped at Mugs for a wonderful craft beer during my bachelor party.
Mugs has a couple of different events each year that they have been doing for quite a while and are always worth attending - they really get some great beers in for the events.
Mugs is located in a very hipster neighborhood but that is not the people that you tend to find in Mugs nor is that the vibe - something that I happy to enjoy about the place. Mugs has been a haven for craft beer drinkers for well over 10 years. The decor is what I think of as traditional pub (wood paneling, slightly dark, lots of beer signs - not neon).
They have great beer that is served properly and never stale (at least I have never encounted that). They have a pretty good all the time tap list that does not change too much and bring in a lot of interesting stuff.
The bartenders have been around for a long time and certainly know their beers and most of the servers are pretty attentive even during the busy festivals/events. I have never had bad service and the people running the place are quite friendly.
The prices are reasonable, comparable if not a little better than the area.
The food is pretty solid for pub fare - they just got a new chef and have revamped the menu for the first time I can remember. The new stuff is good though they are not currently serving brunch - I believe that is supposed to start back up next month.

Located right on Bedford Ave in the heart of Williamsburg, Mugs Ale House gives one a reprieve from the hipster cachet of nearby bars. Once inside you could be in any popular pub in the northeast but with an incredible tap selection. The patrons in here on a Saturday afternoon ranged from bearded old timers to younger couples chatting by the windows. This is a great place to people watch and gaze out the windows onto Bedford Ave. The bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. I wont go listing all the beer but others have below. I was super excited to have a Mcneills Imperial Brown, which was fantastic. I have not seen McNeills outside of Vermont before. Also, the prices are very reasonable. In fact maybe the best value for the beer in New York City.

Hands down the best value for craft beer in Brooklyn, possibly in all of NYC. Despite its proximity to Overpriced-Because-It's-Ironic--burg's main drag, Mugs remains the most reasonably-priced bar in the region. About half of their ~25 beers on draft are only $4.50 for a 20oz pour!
Bottle list is impressive, but typically outdated. It's common for me to go through 2-3 choices before finding something they actually have in stock. What IS in stock, though, is typically outstanding. Last time I was there, I shared a 1988 Lee's Harvest Ale with my friend for the unbelievable price of $15. Did I mention this place was a bargain?
To top things off, this bar ranks among the least trendy or pretentious in the area without being run-down or trashy. It's open and spacious, rarely crowded (even at midnight on a Saturday in the summer), and very relaxed compared to its surroundings. All of this makes Mugs one of my favorite spots in the city.

Back home for a visit.
A: Definitely on the level of a dive type bar which is exactly my style. Not a tourist attraction, no tourists and no yuppies from Manhattan. Laid back and relaxed.
Q: The brews on tap were fresh with no signs of any dirty taps.
Service: Our bartender was a pretty quick and was knowledgable of the menu. He had to change a few taps,but made sure everyone was taken care. Did not really ask him much though.
Selection: A nice tap list when I visited. Nothing mind blowing but certainly has thing to appease many different palates. Had some 4 Calling Birds and some DeStruisee Outblack. They also have a bunch of other brews on tap and a quite distinguished and lengthy brew list.
O: This is a fairly reasonably priced bar with a really nice selection of brews. For you whale hunters, you will not be wowed, but for the most other craft beer people you will enjoy this place.

problems activating lightbox
I'm trying to plug lightbox 2 into my new website and it just isn't working. It's an art portfolio sight with painting images. Here is some sample html
(The head)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

<title>Josh Bishop</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"

<link href="style2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

(and now the link to the image)

The link from tn to the actual image works fine, but lightbox isn't activating.
obviously there is some sort of conflict in the script, but I am VERY new to web design and I can't find it. Any help?? Thanks very much

A boil is a red, swollen, painful bump under the skin that is caused by an infection. Boils often start in an infected hair follicle. Bacteria form an abscess or pocket of pus. With time, the pus may come to a head and drain out through the skin. Boils can occur anywhere, but common sites include the face, neck, armpits, buttocks, groin, and thighs.
There are several types of boils:
Pilonidal Cyst
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Causes of boils may include:
Factors that increase your risk of getting a boil include:
Boils may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A bacterial culture of the boil may be taken.
Some boils do not need medical attention and may drain on their own. More serious symptoms from boils may require treatment. These include:
Your doctor can drain the boil if needed and treat the infection with antibiotics.
Home treatment may include:
Apply warm compresses to the boil for 20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. Depending on the area of the body affected, you may be able to soak the boil in warm water. These measures can ease the pain and help bring the pus to the surface. Repeated soaking will help the boil begin to drain.
Do not pop or lance the boil yourself. This can spread the infection and make it worse. If the boil does not drain on its own or it is very large, you may need to have it drained or lanced by your doctor.
Whether the boil drains on its own or was lanced by a doctor, you must keep it clean. Wash it with antibacterial soap and apply a medicated ointment and bandage. Clean the affected area 2-3 times a day until the wound heals completely.

People Come Together for a Road Rally to Help Victims of Sexual Abuse
9/28/2013 (Updated 11:32:56 PM)People from all over came out for a city-wide scavenger hunt, Saturday in Binghamton to raise money for a local charity.
The Healing House hosted it's first Road Rally, starting at Lourdes Hospital. Cars were led on a hunt to find clues that would lead them to a secret location for a reception. That location was McGirks Irish Pub. The Healing House was founded in March and helps people in the community who are sexually abused.
"We're gonna raise a lot of awareness about sexual abuse. I think right now we still, even though it's been changing over the years, I think we still have a taboo feeling around it. People don't like to open up and talk about it. I think by having us here, and the response that we've gotten from our community already is showing that just by having somebody here to listen and say, 'yes we believe you and we're gonna help you', makes that a little bit easier for people to come forward and talk about it," said Amy Petrick, President and Founder of Healing House.
The organization hopes to raise twenty thousand dollars from the day's event in order to continue helping the community.

With rooftop systems ranging from several kilowatts to multiple megawatts in operation today, we have the experience and solutions to service the full spectrum of commercial applications.
We have two distinct module technologies—both of which provide more energy than competing solar modules due to a superior temperature coefficient and other performance attributes. In addition, both technologies benefit from First Solar's 8GW of experience and commitment to long-term reliability.
Proven to outperform competing technologies with 8GW installed worldwide.
Offering superior value with proprietary cell architecture and manufacturing process.

- A must view for jewelry designers Review by Kerri
Both this video and the beyond the basics videos by Jim Lawson are excellent materials for jewelry designers wanting to improve... no not just improve, but make superior, show worthy photographs. These videos are at the top of my list of favorite and most valuable Interweave educational materials.
Jim has such a calm, organized and practical approach to photography. It was great to leave this learning experience without the usual feeling overwhelmed by a long list of new and expensive tools to purchase. He provided very valuable information on both camera settings, layout of the photo shot, and how to achieve photographs that bring out the beautiful details of an artist's work.
I look forward to more training by Jim and will revisit this course often and recommend it to others.
Thank you so much!
