Foreclosure scheduled for Borders book store in Central Park development
- August 8, 2011
- |
A 24,000-square-foot store that's now home to a Borders bookstore in Fredericksburg's Central Park appears to be headed for the auction block. Citing a legal notice that ran in the newspaper, the Fredericksburg Free-Lance Star reported that an auction is planned for Aug. 19 at 11 a.m. in front of the Fredericksburg Circuit Court. Borders, which has declared bankruptcy, is in the midst of a liquidation sale. The building at 1220 Carl D. Silver Parkway already has seen other retail closures over the past few years. The building's lender is Wells Fargo Bank, according to the foreclosure notice that ran in the newspaper. The building's owner is the Fredericksburg Retail Limited Partnership.

Oceanfront vacation rental 1 bedroom with 1 bathroom condo located in Pacific Beach, San Diego, California USA is a dream beachfront vacation paradise on the edge of Pacific Ocean with modern amenities and convenience and is newly remodeled and opened recently. Pacific Beach is the jewel of miles of sandy beaches in San Diego and is located close to Mission Bay Park, San Diego Bay and downtown. There are so many beautiful beaches in the San Diego area, but Pacific Beach is one of the most popular and unique beaches because of miles of boardwalk all the way to San Diego River and Mission Bay Park.
The living room window faces to the Pacific Ocean with unobstructed ocean view. White waves can be seen from anywhere in the living/dining room (sitting down!) and from the kitchen because the unit is located in the 2nd floor which is the perfect spot for the ideal view of the ocean. This 4 story exterior corridor condo has an elevator too. Unlike high rise condo or hotel, the ocean wave is so close and green lawn and a tree in front of the building enhances the beauty of the ocean. The inside of the unit has blue tile in entry, kitchen and bathroom floors, sparkling blue Quartz kitchen countertop, blue ceilings, and seascape art tiles on the bathtub wall, seascape color futon sofas which all add to the serene feel of a beachfront paradise.
If you are thinking to stay in Tower23 Hotel or Pacific Terrace Hotel or any other hotel or motel in Pacific Beach, check out the rates and consider staying in this Pacific Beach beachfront vacation rental condo here!
Why our guests want to stay here?
- San Diego offers not only the most comfortable weather all year around, but also the access to miles of sandy beaches and cliffs from north to south with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Beach is centrally located and close to Sea World, Mission Bay, San Diego Bay, Old Town and many other attractions. Pacific Beach is located between Mission Beach and La Jolla. Pacific Beach and Mission Beach are the only two beaches in San Diego with miles of boardwalk. North Pacific Beach where this condo is located is more desirable place than Mission Beach for both young and old because it is less crowded than further south in Mission Beach, yet still very vibrant and bigger beach than further north in La Jolla. Pacific Beach is very popular among swimmers and surfers, and offers more services and all convenience you need along the beach. You do not need to drive to go shop or dine. You can go swim or surf in the ocean, bike or walk on the boardwalk and stop by at shops and restaurants. There are many other beautiful sandy beaches and cliffs in both north and south in San Diego area if you just want to sit and look at the ocean and swim or surf in it, but there is no other fun place like Pacific Beach. No one will get bored here. Pacific Beach is the place where people want to come back again and again to visit.
-Our oceanfront unit is located in desirable North Pacific Beach in a secured building. Our location is two blocks north of Tower23 Hotel and one block south of Pacific Terrace Hotel which are the highest priced hotels in Pacific Beach, but our rates are much lower. Please compare prices.
-Panoramic ocean view from sitting down in living room sofas, dining chairs and from kitchen. The ocean view from a higher floor or from a high rise hotel or condo like Capri is spectacular if you look at it from standing up position by the window, but all you seen is the horizon from anywhere else or in sitting down. Our views of white waves look so much closer than viewing from higher floors rooms. Bay front view is spectacular, but nothing is like the ocean.
-Our condominium complex includes outdoor heated pool and Jacuzzi. The ocean views from the 2nd floor of an oceanfront single family house should be as panoramic, but the oceanfront single family dwelling vacation rental houses in this area in Pacific Beach or Mission Beach are not likely to have a heated pool and Jacuzzi.
-FREE oceanfront underground gated garage RESERVED PARKING. You must pay for parking if you stayed in nearby fancy hotels. The free reserved parking spot in Pacific Beach alone is worth staying here.
-FREE BICYCLE rental for 2 adults are included during your entire stay. You save money in bike rentals. You will not get FREE Bike rental if you stay in hotels, motels or high rise condo like Capri.
-FREE WIFI Wireless High Speed Internet access
-Discount coupons for some local attractions when available.
-The unit is completely remodeled and everything in the unit is new. Our place is cleaner than other fancy hotels or vacation rentals.
-The last, but not the least, accommodating great hosts, of course! We recognize the fact that one's vacation is more than just visiting nice places. Vacation is about building memories. We realize that you trust us with your hard earned vacation time and money; therefore we would like to make every effort to make spending time here worthwhile for you. Going on vacation and spending the memorable time in a nice place like this has been our lifelong priorities. Therefore, we are so happy now to be able to share our beachfront home to other vacationers who share the same value. Thank you very much for your interest and taking time in reading this! Riko/Owner

Last year was an incredible season for freshman wideout Sammy Watkins at Clemson. With over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns in his his first season of college football, he was a first team All-American and broke numerous school records. Yet this year has been a major disappointment due to injuries.
Tonight, however, is his coming-back-out party. He only had 202 yards in four games coming into tonight's contest against Wake Forest. He might equal that number in just one night. Here's 61 yards he earned on a touchdown pass from Tajh Boyd.
Watkins has three catches for 123 yards so far in the game.

USAR Task Force Trains in Canine-Lift Techniques
Our rescue and search personnel got a good rope rescue refresher, and our canine folks got to work with a brand new technique.
By its very name, an urban search and rescue (USAR) task force must be able to search. The three standard search techniques are physical, technical and canine. All three have advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when a task force is deployed.
Canines are especially useful when a large area must be covered. A search dog can be a reliable indicator that a live person or human remains are present. On the other hand, dogs are very much affected by weather, wind, ambient temperature and other conditions. The scent flow through the spaces and crevices of a rubble pile can give false readings as to the location of a victim.
Louisiana Task Force 1 (LA TF-1), a state USAR team, has a strong canine search element. The task force has a memorandum of understanding with Louisiana Search and Rescue (LASAR), an organization of volunteers (see "Teamwork in Action: Training the New Orleans Fire Department Canine Search Team" in the June 2011 issue of Firehouse®). LASAR has an excellent training program. It takes approximately two years to prepare a dog and its handler for outside certification, and this is combined with a weekly, organized continuing education program to keep the teams finely tuned. LASAR has both live-person and human-remains search capabilities and deploys teams all over the country on a regular basis.
To maintain its USAR skills, LASAR trains with LA TF-1 throughout the year. In October 2011, inspired by training LASAR members had done in Alabama and by an article in a British technical rescue magazine, LA TF-1 decided to conduct a practical drill lifting canines using a rope system. Bill Schneider from Kansas TF-1 had given LASAR a canine harness as a gift, and his generosity moved me to buy the team another. Here was a chance to try them out. Several of our team members wondered when we would actually use such an application. I had to agree that there are not many situations where we would use the technique, but it always helps to have as many tools in the tool kit as possible to be ready for any eventuality. We decided to simulate lifting the dogs in a structure with limited access.
We decided to use the training tower at the New Orleans Fire Department's Municipal Training Academy for the lift. Our plan was to lift the dogs to a landing on the second floor initially to test the system and the canines, and then re-rig and haul the dogs up through a window on the fifth floor. We built our 3:1 Z-rig haul system on the ground and sent a team member with a directional pulley and one end of the main line to establish a high point on the tower one floor above the target floor. I believe it is not only safer to build a haul system on the ground, but more efficient in that there is more room to "stretch" the system, resulting in fewer resets, which is important when dogs are suspended in harness at height. A top safety line was established on the target floor and a tag line was set up to keep the dogs from contacting the side of the structure during the lift.
The practice lift went well. The dogs accepted the harnesses well and were encouraged by their handlers and other team members as they were attached to the rope system. As the lift began, the handlers moved to the second-floor landing to be there when the dogs arrived to help calm them during the difficult transition back to the ground. All of the canines behaved magnificently, which did not surprise those of us who had worked with them before and had become accustomed to their discipline, intelligence and even dispositions.
Once all the dogs had participated in the practice lift, we re-rigged our rope system for a 50-foot lift. The first lift brought the dogs over a parapet on an open floor, so for this lift we wanted to bring them through a window. The transition through the window would be difficult, so, just as with the first lift, we wanted to establish a high point for the main line one floor above the target floor. We did this for safety reasons as we were making our first attempt at this technique.

An Albemarle County neighborhood is battling it out with a popular cellphone carrier. Those in the Key West neighborhood asked AT&T Monday night to find a new home for its planned cell tower.
Many who live in the area were upset as they voiced their concerns to AT&T, saying the company needs to put the tower somewhere else - not in their backyard.
A representative from AT&T laid out plans for the tower, which would be just above 100 feet tall and sit right above the tree line - part of a requirement in the county's wireless policy that regulates visibility. But many Key West residents believe it will not only still be visible, but that it will also harm wildlife, hurt property values and even be harmful to their health.
One resident who believes she got cancer from a cell tower near her previous home says that if this tower is built, others will soon follow.
"This is a precedent and I do ask everyone in Albemarle County if they would be willing to have a large cell tower in the middle of their neighborhood. How would you feel about it? Most people would not feel good about it," said Amy Eichenberger, who lives in Key West.
Right now the plan is under review by the county. A petition against it is circulating.
The representative only went into detail about the actual plan for the tower and was unable to address health and financial concerns Monday night.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Governor Pat Quinn signed a new law Monday that requires all Illinois schools to hold active safety drills with local law enforcement to preparee in the event of a shooting.
The new law requires that the law enforcement drill include a shooting incident, and that law enforcement participate in it.
The drill must take place in each school building where students are taught, and it must occur during the academic year.
"Our students, teachers, principals and school staff can never be too prepared for an emergency situation where a gun is involved," Governor Quinn said. "If the unthinkable were ever to occur, knowing what to do, where to go and how to respond could save many precious lives. These safety drills will ensure that every Illinois school works with local law enforcement to be as prepared as possible."

— It's funny how much changes in just seven days.
The Pittsburgh Steelers looked absolutely horrible against Houston, but rebounded to look like the S.O.S. (Same old Steelers) against Tennessee.
Why was that?
For the most part, they followed my advice!
Last week, I advocated the Steelers recommit to the run, use someone other than Rashard Mendenhall, start Max Starks, sit Aaron Smith and tackle better.
Look what happened when the Steelers decide they want to run the ball on a consistent basis: Ben Roethlisberger throws five touchdowns and is only sacked once; Hines Ward and the rest of the receivers are constantly open; and a Steeler running back (Jonathan Dwyer) rushes for over 100 yards.
I truly believe all that happened because Mendenhall wasn't playing and losing yardage. I liked how Isaac Redman and Dwyer ran the ball. They hit the holes hard and weren't jitterbugging in the hole like Mendenhall.
I'd rather see Redman and Dwyer get a second shot at being the featured back this week to see if last week was just an aberration rather than have Mendenhall start as is being reported. Honestly, if Mendenhall is healthy enough to start this week, what's the big deal of letting Redman and Dwyer have a crack at running the ball over the first half?
Speaking at getting another crack at playing a lot, I think Cameron Heyward earned increased playing time last week when he had a sack and almost had another when Matt Hasselbeck was whistled for intentional grounding. He had a much better showing than Smith has had all year.
Enough of the back patting, the one thing I didn't mention last week but worked wonders was having Roethlisberger take 3- and 5-step drops.
I had always wondered if Big Ben was capable of taking short drops, but his performance Sunday showed he can.
But from what I've heard, the whole 3-step drop - and in essence the short routes - game plan will be short-lived, because offensive coordinator Bruce Arians isn't in favor of it, so I wouldn't be surprised to seeSt Big Ben running for his life this weekend or next.
For the record, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Ed Bouchette isn't either, but the Steelers need to keep Roethlisberger upright and short drops will do that.
I'm sure most of you know what the definition of insanity is. For those that don't know, it's 'doing the same thing, but expecting different results.'
In other words, having Roethlisberger take 7-step drops and throwing deep with a sub-par offensive line and expecting him to not to be under constant pressure is insane.
Yet, that's what Arians wants to get back as soon as possible. I've heard reports that Arians intends to call more 7-step drops this week.
If they are true, it's going to be a long day for the Steelers and Roethlisberger!
Maybe the Steelers should pay attention to another popular saying - 'Those who don't pay attention to history are doomed to repeat it' - and do what I say in this column!

RALEIGH, NC (WECT) – The state House on Tuesday unanimously passed a bill to combat the sex trafficking trade in North Carolina. The bill already passed the state Senate, and now goes to the Governor's office to be signed into law.
Senate Bill 122, called the "Sex Trafficking/Sex Offender Registration" bill, adds human trafficking to the list of charges that could land a defendant on the state's Sex Offender Registry. Senators Thom Goolsby (R-New Hanover), Stan Bingham (R-Davidson) and E.S. Newton (R-Johnston) are the other two primary sponsors. Click here to read the entire bill.
"It received unanimous support at every turn," said Goolsby after today's vote. "There is no constituency for sex traffickers in North Carolina".
Under the bill, a conviction for trafficking a minor under the age of 18 would bring mandatory registration as a sex offender, and subject the offender to GPS tracking.
According to the North Carolina Coalition Against Human Trafficking, the state is one of the top-10 for trafficking in the United States. Among the reasons are the major highways such as I-40 & I-95, the large military presence with a transient population, a huge agricultural community, and the ports near large rural areas.
Goolsby called SB 122 "the first salvo in the war on sex traffickers". He said the bigger effort will be with SB 683, called the "Safe Harbor for Victims of Human Trafficking" bill. That bill could be brought up for debate in committee as early as this Thursday, Goolsby said. Click here to read the entire bill.

Drug trafficking, government kickbacks, bribery and corruption in general are some of the illegal activities that have flourished during the last decade in the Venezuelan Bolivarian revolution.
The flow of dirty money coming from these origins is hard to calculate but can be estimated to amount to hundreds of billions of dollars. Much of these funds are now being enjoyed in the United States and Europe by corrupt Venezuelan government officials and their business partners, private sector opportunists commonly known as "Boligarchs" who have profited from the widespread corruption.
Some of these cases have been exposed and even charged in the United States. Last month the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York charged five Venezuelan individuals, including a vice president of the Venezuelan bank BANDES (Banco de Desarrollo Económico y Social de Venezuela) named Maria de los Angeles González de Hernandez who authorized fraudulent trades involved in the bribe scheme. A while back, the U.S. Treasury Department designated seven Venezuelan government officials as drug kingpins.
Still, one of the most important questions remains to be answered: How is all this illegal money coming from illicit businesses being laundered? Even though there are multiple possible answers, little attention has been paid to a financial scheme involving not only Venezuela, but also Ecuador; one that can be easily used for money laundering purposes.
In mid-2009, the group of countries belonging to the "ALBA" alliance created by Hugo Chávez when he was president of Venezuela and the Castro brothers in Cuba (namely Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia) signed a framework agreement for the creation of a virtual currency known as SUCRE (for its Spanish acronym: Unified System for Regional Compensation). The SUCRE's objective was to replace the dollar in regional financial transactions.
SUCRE is a virtual monetary system that can easily be used for fraudulent purposes given that it avoids any kind of official international supervision. For example, importers in Venezuela can pay for imports from Ecuador directly in Bolivares (the local currency), while exporters in Ecuador receive U.S. dollars (the local currency) from their Central Bank. The compensation and supervision is performed only by the central banks of the countries involved. Since Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as its currency, every dollar that comes in from Venezuela is automatically "legalized" by the same Central Bank.
Internal documents from Ecuador's tax collection agency and customs officials show that since SUCRE began operating in 2010, a vast number of fictitious trade transactions have been identified between Ecuador and Venezuela. Nevertheless, the government of Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa has taken no action to stop this scheme. The money laundered through such transactions could be coming from any of the aforementioned illegal activities.
As an example, last year the Ecuadorian press showed how an Ecuadorian company called Privatum Prinage Management, exported "black pepper" in excess of $10 million to a company named Multigran, CA, in Venezuela in several shipments of 100 tons each, according to the invoices. However, a report by the Customs Surveillance Unit of Ecuador showed that the actual total quantity exported did not exceed 340 kg. (or less than 750 lbs. of pepper). In other words, through the single aforementioned transaction importers in Venezuela seem to have laundered $10 million through fictitious shipments.
The question remains: What is the origin of that money?
Given the fact that Ecuador and Venezuela are both nations where the judiciary is controlled by the presidency and where financial transparency is non-existent, it cannot be expected that these and many other cases will be investigated in their territories. Conversely, it is well known that most of this dirty money ends up in millionaire bank accounts, real estate and property investments in the United States, particularly in Florida and New York.
The United States should put an eye on the SUCRE scheme. By doing so, officials will likely realize that in order to stop that system from being used for money laundering purposes, it will be necessary to stop providing dollars to Ecuador, thus ending its abuse of a dollarized monetary system.

Rescuing people who fall through the ice can be a dangerous and harrowing experience. It takes skill to get them out.
A dozen firefighters climbed into Mustang Survival suits and voluntarily slid their bodies into the icy waters of the Anacostia River Thursday -- all of them looking to be certified as experts.
The idea is to give the firefighters first-hand experience in what it is like to be in the water waiting for help.
And in an actual emergency, the rescuers will actually climb into the water with the person they are attempting to save.
"When you talk about the operation itself, if you are coming out here to get somebody, it's just as quick for us to go in the water and get (them)," said Instructor Tommy Smith. "That way we have positive contact with the person the whole time."
Smith says unlike in drowning cases, there is little concern over a person panicking and dragging the rescuer down.
"You are going to lose all of your motor skills," said Smith. "All of your operational skills as far as your hands, so those people are not going to be thrashing around. If they are, it's not going to take long."
The firefighters also showed off tools they can use to get out of the water on their own. Using plastic ice picks attached to their survival suits that can be used to stab the ice and pull themselves up.
"You want to hit close to you, hit hard into the ice," Smith told the trainees.
Another tool allows firefighters to pull them themselves out with the help of a pole.
Once they are certified, the firefighters will be permitted to respond with technical rescue squads strategically headquartered in three places around the county.
In 2009, Prince George's County firefighters were called to rescue 16 people in 16 different incidents in the county. Since then, there have been none.

CAYUGA, Ind. —
Don and Teresa Morgan were involved in eight to 10 live Nativities when they lived in Joplin, Mo. Now they are involved in presenting the first one in Cayuga.
Don Morgan, who is pastor of the Cayuga Church of the Nazarene, said his congregation is excited about presenting it to the Cayuga area.
"We want to offer a fun time for the community," Morgan said.
The Cayuga Nazarene Church will present "Walk through Bethlehem Christmas" from 4-8 p.m. EST Saturday at the Cayuga Park.
During the four-hour period, residents are invited to come to the park and take a step back in time. At the east end of the grandstand visitors will be greeted by two Roman soldiers who will give them a census form and information about the Christmas story. Plenty of parking is available in the park.
The census form is to be returned along with any information about possible needs.
The first stop will include a sampling of first century foods, including breads and nuts. Music and a video will be featured before visitors will see an assortment of animals including donkeys, goats, ducks, chickens and llamas.
The Nativity scene will depict Jesus' birth, but this display will go a step further with the empty tomb.
"What we are trying to do is to help them know the story," Morgan said.
It will take 35-40 minutes to go through the entire scene, which will be repeated five or six times.
Morgan has mentioned the live Nativity that he did in Missouri several times since coming to Cayuga in 2004, but it was North Vermillion High School student Levi Sprouls who told the congregation members they needed to do it in Cayuga.
Another North Vermillion student, Brenna Trosper, is working on the videos.
Morgan is impressed with the work of the youth, but the whole congregation is involved.
"We probably have 25 to 30 people involved," Morgan said.
Most of the animals are from church members, but the llamas are from Clinton, Ind., and other animals are from Georgetown, Ill.
"It was the first of October when we decided definitely we were going to do this (this year)." Morgan said. "Lots of people are working on food and other things. It is fun to see this come together."
If cold weather returns before Saturday, a tarp will help keep weather elements from under the grandstand.
"This is our gift to the community," Morgan said.
Coming up
"Walk through Bethlehem Christmas" will be from 4-8 p.m. EST Saturday underneath the Vermillion County Fairgrounds grandstand at the Cayuga Park.

Town Square
why only registered users?
Original post made by why on Mar 20, 2009
on Mar 20, 2009 at 11:47 am
Don Frances is a registered user.
Good question. The first thing to say is that we agree, it's a good and important discussion, but we felt (and so did other posters) that it was becoming hijacked by one or two excessive posters and hampered by personal attacks. We needed to slow it down to get things back under control. (This morning we took down about 25 comments for excessive postings, personal swipes and other misuse).
The other point to make is that limiting a comment thread to registered-only users does not mean it's closed! It's very quick and easy to register (to do so go here: Web Link) and doing so does not sacrifice your anonymity (we do ask that you give your name during the sign-up process, but your "handle" -- the name seen online by other Town Square users -- is whatever you want it to be).
We've found that registered-only use creates more accountability, and many of the attackers, pranksters, etc. tend to disappear.

good call
on Mar 20, 2009 at 1:00 pm
How can blocking a group of concerned parents, students and community members who for whatever reason don't want to register be a good call. Edit the idiots and let the rest of us speak without having to create a handle. If not, you are changing the entire direction of this forum. Please think this over carefully, Don.

American women placed second, 10th and 25th in the first of four luge runs at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, on Feb. 10, according to the Olympics website.
How did Baltimore native Summer Britcher, 19, fare in her first outing on the Olympic course? Spoiler Alert: Stop reading now if you don't want to know until NBC's evening broadcast.
After the first of four runs on Monday, Britcher was in 25th place. Teammate Kate Hansen was in seventh place and Erin Hamlin was in the 11th spot.
The second run starts at 8:20 p.m. Sochi time on Monday.
"It's a dream come true. I was one of those little kids that wanted to go to the Olympics and, like I said, I can't believe it sometimes; that it's actually happening," Britcher told WBAL TV station in December before heading to Russia.
The Baltimore Fire Department on gave Britcher a send-off fit for an Olympian. Her father, grandfather and uncles are all Baltimore firefighters. Her mother, Carrie Britcher, is a pharmacist.
Britcher told the York Daily Record that both parents supported her passion for luge, which meant leaving high school to compete on the U.S. junior national team around the world.
"My dad's role in it has always been to go with the approach that I should do it, but only if I enjoy it," she told the newspaper. "You hear a lot of parents who force their children into sports, but my dad was not like that, we just could never quit something. We couldn't quit halfway through. He really taught me at that time to be dedicated.
"My mom, more so, drove my competitive side. She had always been a big fan of the sport because it is an exciting thing. She always enjoyed cheering me on. She's very enthusiastic."

This was originally brewed by Town Hall, but the recipe was passed on to Indeed.
Poured into a glass, it produced a 3-finger off white head. Left some nice lacing. The beer color is a medium honey/orange.
The aroma was of honey, floral, and alcohol.
The taste was similar, but with an added biscuit taste, and a slight alcohol burn on the end. The beer is only 7%, so didn't expect the slight booziness. It has an upper medium carbonation, and a low-medium mouth-feel.
This is a good beer!

An ale with lavender, sunflower honey and dates? I'm down.
Murky red gold body with healthy carbonation.
Bright lavender and honey highlight the nose... some ginger type aromas... a mild, mushy fruit character beneath that, a bit of spice... incredibly aromatic.
The date contribution seems to surface on the palate... lavender is present in every aspect of this beer. I don't know where it's coming from, but again I'm noticing some kind of ginger character. Faint orange peel, peppercorn... it's nice. Certainly is unique, almost too much going on though.

Draft. Enjoyed at Town Hall on a sunny Saturday morn. $4.75/pint. Pours a clear medium dark copper amber color with a slight white head. Very floral and fragrant aroma. The lavender really sticks out. Medium mouthfeel. Sweet start with a mix of the lavender and lots of orange flavor as well. Very easy drinking, the 7.3 doesn't really show up all that much. The lavender lingers on for a while. Overall, pretty nice.

Served with a half finger of white head that fades down quickly. Color is a clear copper orange.
Aroma: Lots of floral (lavender) flavors and sweet honey. Almost braggot like. I get a fruity flavor that I am guessing is the dates. Strong nose. Grapes/wine flavors.
Taste: A huge herbal flavors. Floral and grassy. Lavender. Honey again. Not as fruity here, but it ends with the dates. A lot going on here.
Mouthfeel: Clean, bubbly, and smooth. Medium bodied with a medium to high amount of carbonation. Ends sticky.
Overall, not my favorite summer beer as it is a bit too strong. Couldn't drink too much of this. Very unique.

On-tap at the brewpub.
A: Clear amber body with a thin layer of fine white bubbles that quickly melt into a patchy ring. A little underwhelming.
S: Spicy, floral, and intense. Tons of lavender, and a bit of sunscreen. Huh. Still, pretty good.
T: Lavender opens things up big time, followed by some nice date sweetness and a very dry, long finish. There's still a bit of sunscreen (maybe from the dates?) but overall it's very, very tasty.
M: Full, highly carbonated body. Nice.
O: Crazy beer - I'm not entirely sure that everything fell into place like it was supposed to, but I'm totally convinced that it was something worth experiencing. Maybe I'll have a tasty flashback someday...

Pours amber in color with a head that dissipates rather quickly. Smell has loads of lavender and sweet perfumes with accents of lemon. Taste is like drinking potpourri, which sounds bad but tastes awesome. The palate is bombarded by lavender and herbs. Under rather this, there is a bit of sweet fruit from the dates and some lemony honey. Really odd combo, bit tastes delicious. I would order this again but there are too many beers and too little time. Recommended as it is very unique.

Poured on tap into a pint glass.
A- Burnt orange bronze color, ½ to one finger off white head, nice lacing and retention, nice carbonation.
S- This is a very unique smelling beer, lavender upfront floral notes (sunflower).
T- The taste is also very unique, very floral, that lavender taste is what really makes this beer weird for me, slight honey flavor comes out, really soapy tasting, there's a malt presence as well.
M- Medium mouthfeel, unusual aftertaste from the lavender.
O- This beer is not bad but not the best offering from Town Hall, the lavender and floral notes were definitely present, glad to try it once.

I'm usually very good about logging reviews immediately, but when it comes to Town Hall they change their beers so often that I fall behind. Here is my backlog of napkin reviews stuffed in the back of my desk drawer.
No date, best guess is early October.
Cloudy and copper in color, white head with decent enough retention and light lacing. 4.0
Floral (lavendar), sweet (honey), and dark fruits (dates). 3.5
Starts very floral, with bready malts and a juicy fruitiness. 4.0
Mouthfeel is heavier than expected. 3.5
Drinkability is good. Very interesting and unique. 3.5
Overall, a unique beer, would gladly have again.

Hazy copper hue, standard beige head o' foam.
Aroma is absolutely unheard of...floral, herbal, sweet, and singing. The loveliness of lavender and honey (sunflower honey, no less) kept in check with the depth of dates. That's got to be it. It's gorgeous. Sublime.
Now, to drink,...soft and supple. Lean-bodied, but with a strong flavor and a lasting finish. Lean texture, too, but the combinant flavors are so well integrated and make such a beautiful blend, it's a darned near perfect mix.
While this is sweet, delicious, super-tasty, yum, yum...I'm missing my hops.

Lavender, sunflower honey and dates oh my. Sounded extremely interesting so I had to try on this beautiful Saturday morning while watching Indiana stick it to Michigan. Drank from a regular ol' pint glass.
Appearance- Pours a light orangish yellow with a decent one finger bright white head. A fairly nice cap and collar remain leaving a small bit of random lacing.
Smell- Very floral as the lavender dominates the nose. Bready malts with a bit of clean earthy honey. The nose is simply and nice but that lavender runs the show. It almost has a Glade® Plug-In flowery scent.
Taste- Starts a bit flowery (floral) from the lavender and or honey before a light bit of residual honey dryness steps in. It's clean and very nice with an almost orange blossom little twang. The dates step in toward the finish along with a slight bit of caramel but I don't get a lot. It almost has a cinnamon like spiciness with a touch of raisin. Interesting stuff.
Mouthfeel- Unexpectantly big with a nice chewy fullness and fairly light bit of carbonation.
Drinkability- Wow super interesting and very good. I usually don't like honey in my brews but this works pretty darned well. The lavender is another leaf away from being too strong but it's not at this point and it carries the beer. The dates are honestly an afterthought but that just may be from the lavender. Super tasty, super interesting. Fun stuff.

DOE: 1,985 Recovery Act jobs in Oak Ridge
Coinciding with Energy Secretary Steven Chu's visit to Oak Ridge this week, the Dept. of Energy released updated figures on the Recovery Act spending (through the end of February).
"With the influx of $1.1 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding since 2009, the Dept. of Energy has been able to create or save nearly 2,000 jobs across the Oak Ridge Reservation, while accelerating important mission goals," DOE said in a statement.
According to the stats released by DOE's Oak Ridge office, most of the Oak Ridge jobs are associated with environmental management programs (1,453 jobs), although others have been created by DOE's Office of Science (335), and Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (158). There were 39 jobs in the "other" category, with a total of 1,985.
DOE's original project for stimulus jobs in Oak Ridge was 1,500, but officials said they were able to surpass that goal by responding quickly when the funds became available.
"The Oak Ridge office expects continued job growth through 2010 as a result of Recovery Act funding," DOE said.

by rakesh patel

Regarding Saul Tigh, remember that the Final Five didn't make it to the Colonies until the very, very end of the war, and negotiated the armistice between the humans and the Cylons. Saul was already "old" at that point (having downloaded into a new body following the destruction of Earth), and wouldn't have served as a Lieutenant in the Colonial military, due to the extremely-small period of time between the Fives' arrival, and the ending of the war. Basically, all of Tigh's memories of having served in the military during the war (much of this coming from deleted scenes in Season 2) were implanted by Cavil as false backstory for him to live off of when "exiled" into human society about a decade after the war ends.

I really liked the pilot
by Zod_
It's too bad they aren't making a series out of it. I thought the Pilots was really solid and would of watched a series. It's a series based in a war with the Cylons. You can do lots of stories in that universe.
Dec. 8, 2012, 8:30 a.m. CST
A couple comments...
by MuadDibuhhh
@ Hairy nutsack... They probably pulled the Cylon machine guns not from their own asses, but from the asses of the centurions they killed. Or, since the hotel was a CYLON SPARE PARTS DEPOT, they probably had a few stashed there. <p> Plus, it was nice to hear Six's voice again...
Dec. 8, 2012, 11:31 a.m. CST
not going to series?
by PlayerHater_of_the_year
This is better than anything syfy has ever put out. I'm done with those fuck wads.
Dec. 8, 2012, 4:17 p.m. CST
by Hairy Nutsack
The Cylons they killed weren't carrying this type of weapon. And important to note, these are the same Cylon rifles the bots carried in Razor.<p> <p> And yeah, they were in a Cylon depot thingy, and it's easy to assume where they got them, but that's a harsh jump cut from them carrying Colonial weapons to the Cylon ones. One line of dialogue would have smoothed it out.<p> <p> But no dialogue can fix last week's mistakes. When Thoth gets shot he's holding the shotgun, on the reverse shot when he falls down he's holding the Storm rifle. LOL

@Hary nutsack
by aedude01
Talk about missing the forest through the trees. One continuity problem and suddenly the pilot is garbage? Get a life dude. Also, you do realize that we're missing about 10-12 mins from the final broadcast version of the show right? It's quite possible that some of that dialogue or connecting scenes were cut for the web release. This was a solid pilot and it's a shame SYFY has their heads so far up their asses. I haven't watched a thing on their channel since Caprica went off the air, and it doesn't look like I'm about to start now.

A huge action scene was cut from the beginning when Husker and Coker take out two Cylon SAM missile installations, a reference to which was left in when Husker boards the Osiris and speaks to the Commander.<p> <p> Most importantly, they cut out all the titties.

It isn't really worthy of a series in my opinion

And neither was Caprica. SyFy would have been better off with a full reboot/reimagine of Space Above and Beyond. We already know Adama would survive Blood and Chrome and it looked too cheap anyway.

Voice of 6 for th Cy-Borg?

Kind of got more dodgey, fx and camera-wise towards the end. They could have played this whole show as a Reboot; since it's all happened before and doomed to happen again, there could in fact been some doubt. Oh well, SyFy... Uni, give up the rights and let someone else play with it then.

go figure

The SciFi Channel finally makes something worth watching and they won't even think about taking it to series.. I guess all of their backing is going to go into the Mansquito franchise. Lets face it; this channel has been screwing the pooch since it deep sixed Farscape.

I thought it was okay. Not great by any means, but certainly not bad at all.

Of course I could have done without a female version of the android from "I Robot" showing up at the end. :P
