This top is made from very easy vogue pattern V8877 in a size small. It has been a great piece for my everyday wardrobe. I chose a sheer synthetic fabric for the top panel and a black bamboo knit for the bottom. Blogged here.

Speeding up a sluggish Sony
Over the past year, I've read nothing but horror stories about Sony's Vaio running Windows Vista. Over the past weekend, I finally had a chance to see one of these allegedly accursed machines up close and personal, courtesy of digital media guru and blogger Jeremy Toeman. Ironically, the well-used machine I received was running Windows XP and was practically unusable. Here's what happened when I replaced it with a clean installation of Windows Vista.

Addicted To Sex With StrangersEver since I first had sex in adult video theaters I have increasingly fantasized about becoming a video **** pleasuring anonymous men.Now as a middleaged male I have become that addicted ****.I visit this one place 3 or 4x a week to get on my knees and suck the ***** presented to me.At one time i went sporadically and felt ashamed but now i feel the urge and go there to have my mouth seeded.I feel incredibly horny and compelled to satisfy men.In the last 2 yrs it has taken over my sexlife and I act the role of **** when I go there.I crave it more than ever and realize I have become one of those needy cocksuckers who at one time serviced me.Now Its my turn.
I know exactly how you feel. When I was in my late 20s - early 30s I became bi, by appreciating theater blow jobs by older guys so I had to find out why they liked sucking me so much. I nearly jismed in my pants the first time I sucked a man! Ever since, I've loved being a submissive **** *****!
I am just a happy guy that loves pleasing complete strangers. For me there is no better feeling than to get down on my knees in from of a total stranger and service is throbing penis with my longing hot mouth. I started when I was about 28 and traveling for business and have never looked back. 6, 7, or 8 in a row I never seem to get enough of that white lava. I can take them one after another or all at the same time makes no difference to me. I have this movie theater I go to drop in a twenty spot, leave the privacy rope down and just wait for them to come though. They don't even have to ask, they know what I'm there for. They just come in, unzip their pants let them drop to their ankles and whip out that raging penis. All my job is; is to drop to my knees and let the sucking session begin. I'm so horny all the time, all I ever want is another man's manhood in my mouth.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all those men who continue to feed me what I need,
You can message me at whysowindy1999@yahoo. com
I'm in Phoenix Arizona
GP - I know the place you refer to. They have the best selection of movies I\'ve ever seen. Thanks for explaining the etiquette there. I didn\'t know that all I had to do was leave the rope down if I wanted to suck some ****. Phoenix has some great places to play. You\'re lucky to live there. It\'s not nearly as easy to find **** to suck where I live...but I still manage to indulge my addiction every so often.
Do any of you worry about diseases? And or bringing one home to your wives? I'm a woman and see men sucking other men in adult theaters. It turns me on and would love to join or help but they seem to suck anyone that will let them without a care about getting a disease. What are your thoughts on this?
That\'s a great question but I think most men that love to give oral to other men will tell you; we have been doing it so long and have never had an issue. You just need to jump in and enjoy the fun. You\'re missing out on all that hot man\'s milk.
Interesting. There was a time when I was single and a bit out of control, sexually. I was just out of a marriage and pretty much an emotional wreck. So I started going to this adult theater in that outskirts of town that had a large public viewing area that played adult films. If you had a thing for voyeurism this was your place. if you wanted to participate, even better. I got into the swing of things pretty quickly, allowing men to fondle me, blow me and kiss me all over my body, including my butt. I would sometimes get completely naked and allow three or more men just have their way with me. It was truly incredible. But I will say, I never swallowed anyone\'s ***, never allow anal penetration...and never contracted any diseases. Obviously, it\'s still a bit risky, but following certain guidelines improves one\'s odds of staying healthy. Swinger\'s clubs are just as dangerous in this regard and most follow similar guidelines.
Hi Insideout098, It sounds like you really learned to enjoy yourself at your local adult theater. Yeah........ I remember those days of starting out as the one being pleased by all those men. I did that for about a year before I got the yearning to be the please\'er and soon found my place was on my knees with some guy\'s C*CK down my throat. To this day I still hunger for it.
Message me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
The problem with the...well, let\'s call it \"addiction,\" is that it requires more perverse and intense stimulation as it progresses, like feeding a beast that won\'t sleep. So life eventually starts to revolve around the addiction. You avoid parties, or leave earlier than you normally would so you can run off into the night to suck **** at an adult arcade. You avoid relationships, work - life in general - in order to spend time with the burgeoning addiction. The cost of the theaters could triple and people would still pay the bills because they lacked the strength to walk away. And then there\'s the issue of reputation, like landing on a sex registry for public indecency, or contracting a disease, or seeing someone who recognizes you while you\'re with your wife or kids, or divorce loss of employment and on and on it goes until your life is completely out of control and you land in therapy or land instead in jail. It\'s fun like dopamine highs are, but the consequences are often dire.
If you're really concerned about catching an oral STD, why don't you take some condoms with you? Its not the same as without, however I'm sure that you won't get that many complaints as oral from a woman in a theater is not something you can find any day of the week.
I like your honesty. The shame has been the worst part. It's ok to visit these establishments and pleasure or be pleasured. Kudos to you.
I too love to suck ****,and I would rather suck a **** and swallow him *** than have mine sucked.
A man after my own heart! We ought join up and give some lucky bastard a little join service. They love having two c*ck suckers at the same time. So long as you like to swap C*m with a buddy I\'m in.
Message me at email@example.com
How does it work?
Like how do I get into the arcade?
I like to get a little high and go to the **** shoppe, find a hot guy or two and suck them off. So hot being watched while I do thatl
Yes being watched while you service a guys big phucking **** is a real turn on.
I can relate to your desire and commend you on your attitude towards it. I have loved to play in gloryholes and adult theaters for awhile now. Something about the anomimity of it thrills me and I love to be thought of as a little *** ***** and **** to be used by older men for their pleasure and to have my belly filled with their man seed. I have a group of older men (10-15 years older) that I get to plat with at my older friends Larry's house. I am his boy **** for him to use and he allows me to service his great **** and all his friends from time to time. What a great life.
I'm jealous. I'd love to have a similar arrangement, but am hesitant to do it because of fear of discovery (not by my wife as she knows, but by coworkers). You're a lucky man.
Having a group like that would be a dream *** true for me.
Hello Oralphase; We all salute you. Many of us have traveled that same enjoyable road of being transformed into a hungry glory hole with lips. I love to moan when I\'m on my knees servicing all those horny married guys and I take great pleasure in knowing it will only be a few minutes till my payoff of warm, satisfying man juice is spilling out of the corners of my hungry man *****. Thanks to all those horny phucker that continue to give me what I long for.
I've come across a number of guys like you two in my adventures in adult theaters. Though at times they've been too aggressive, for the most part they've been patient while I enjoyed my prolonged edging sessions. Although I love having my **** sucked (and usually let one of them finish me off), there are times when I prefer to take care of myself and just ********** while watching the movies. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist too so sitting near other guys while we play with ourselves or others is also a huge turn-on.
It sounds like my progression was a little slower. I didn't allow another man to suck me off until I was in my late 30s. [I had a lot of religious upbringing to overcome.] A couple of years later, after getting comfortable with being sucked I decided it wasn't right to only receive so I gave my first *******. I was amazed at how natural it felt to have a **** in my mouth. Contrary to everything family and society had drilled into me, it felt totally natural.

By then I'd been married to a wonderful woman for 10-15 years. If I hadn't met her, I probably would have lived a very different life, but thanks to our close relationship that is ba<x>sed on open and honest communication I don't have to hide my desires. She loves me for who I am.

But back to our discussion about giving and receiving ******** in adult theaters. I visited one of my favorite theaters recently and received an absolutely wonderful sucking from a total stranger. I had been watching the movies [and the action in the audience] while stroking for several hours when this nice clean cut man [slacks and long sleeve button-down shirt] came over and sat near me. He was hesitant at first to make a move [probably because I'd been sitting off by myself], but eventually he reached over and caressed my leg. When I didn't protest he got more bold and was soon on his knees between my legs deep throating me.

He had a way of working the muscles in his throat that massaged my entire **** and while my thickness was evidently challenging for him [too much teeth at times] he took his time and didn't rush or try to force my ******. So I got to relax and watch a couple of movies while enjoying his oral talents. When I finally came he gulped it all [I'm a fairly heavy ****** that some guys can't handle] and didn't spill a drop. Then he just kept sucking...even after I was soft. In my younger years his efforts would have been rewarded with a repeat performance or two, but now I'm a one and done kind of guy. So I eventually had to ask him to stop. When I stood up to leave, my knees were unsteady and I had to carefully make my way out of the theater. This guy had rocked my world. I know it's unlikely, but I've love to run into him again.
You sound like you found your calling in life...late, but you found it. Sucking **** is a lot of fun and playing in adult theaters can be very addictive. I've found that the more I go the more I need to go. It's a challenge sometimes not letting it totally take over my life. If I didn't have such a wonderful wife that deserves my love and attention I'd probably go a lot more often myself. I suspect most cocksuckers start out as recipients instead of providers. It seems to be the natural progression of things. Hope you are provided with an endless supply of juicy man juice. ;-)

A: A hard pour resulted in a good two inches of brown cottony head, lots of lacing around the edge, a dark chocolate brown - 4.25, S: Lots of specialty malts, tons of grain and charring, a slight burnt cherry smell as well, chocolate and coffee - 3.75, T: There's a subtle sweetness to the beer, otherwise a nice spattering of grain, mild raisin and date flavors - 4.25, M: Touch of graininess, medium body with a little warm syrupy texture - 4.50, D: A very pleasant beer, not an aggressive stout but a very easy drinking stout - 4.00

Poured from a 22oz bomber into a Loterbol tulip. Special thanks to corby112 for this from our recent trade!
Bottled November 2009
A: Pours jet black that instantly spawns a dark khaki colored head that reaches about three fingers thick, retains for ages, and leaves a beautiful lacey mess all over the glass.
S: Instantly, I'm met with a wonderful roasted malt nose that's interlaced with campfire smoke, dark chocolate, some spicy yeast, and a touch of sweet ripe raisins.
T: Tastes much as it smells except the roasted malt is a bit more dominant and the other flavors are relegated (a little more) to the background. As it warms, some of its' more subtle nuances begin to emerge (i.e. an obvious Belgian yeast flavor...)
M: Quite prickly and lively. A peppery tingle dances on the tongue long after the beer has been swallowed.
D: Jeez! Can Pretty Things do no wrong? This is an excellent winter seasonal. Strong and robust without being too heavy and syrupy. Loved the lingering smokiness and roasty prickle.

Poured from a bomber into my Mad Elf tulip glass. LOTS of "smoke" out of the bottle once the cap is popped off. Pours BLACK and semi-thick. Aroma immediately hits the air and smells roasted! Head is a tannish brown, very frothy and huge. Settles to a pretty thick layer over the surface. Sticky lacing.
Aroma has tons of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. Smells complex and inviting! A little fruit is detectable.
Taste: hmmm, fruitier than I expected a stout to be. Still...very tasty. Bitter chocolates, coffee on the back side of the tongue. Malty...creamy...complex. The fruity flavors up front: cherry perhaps? Wow, interesting stout, and very good!

22oz into flute. Bottled November 2009, batch 1? I think so.
A- Robust, coffee brown, tan khaki head, great lacing right off the first pour, looks tasty. Beer is like black coffee with a few ice cubes melted into it.
S- Spicy, floral, almost like incense. Dark fruits, like a porter. Hmm... interesting. Roasted campfire malts, but very light smoke, hickory?.... unique.
T- A bit spicy, a bit floral, a bit of a baltic porter... off the beaten path, for better or for worse. I like it, but I don't love it. A good fruit element and a bit too much roastiness make this a draw. Well, no, it's on the fair side of good, but its complexity may be hurting it a bit. A bit cluttered on the tongue.
M- Robust, roasty (if a bit too much), moderate body, lighter than expected, good carbonation.
D- Moderate. I'd have another one. A unique beer. Perhaps its an acquired taste... but my least favorite Pretty Things to date. That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.. still love most of their beers.

Poured into a tulip from a bomber.
Black and silky looking. Thick finger and a half of tan chocolately looking head.
Smell is roasted barley, cocoa, bitter chocolates, a small touch of coffee and a tiny amount of hop essence.
Chocolate, coffee, and some smokeyness. Finishes with a bitter chocolate flavor. Lots of roasted malty goodness. Overall pretty damn balanced.
Mouthfeel is where this one shines. Silky silky silky smooth. Almost velvet like.
Drinkability is high. At 7%abv. its sessionable as all hell. Sweet, bitter, smooth chocolately goodness in a bottle.
I recommend this one highly.

Pours a black color with a dark tan creamy head that settles into a rocky cap. The aroma is of caramel, light tin and a sweet milk stout. If an aroma can smell silky this does. The aroma is not strong but sure is smooth. The taste is quite mellow, with bitter and milk chocolate, and roasted malt. The feel of this brew is outrageous. It has an obvious full body but feels light and fluffy; soft carbonation leads to a very smooth and silky feel, much like a frothy head to a milk shake. Finishes with a light roasted malt bitterness. A very silky stout indeed. Not huge on flavor but that is fine as it has a solid roasted malt flavor.

Shared with a few friends at a tasting, from notes.
Pours black with a sturdy dark tan head. Decent lacing and retention.
Smells of lightly roasted malts, but is overall sweet. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Taste follows with some sweet malty chocolate and delicately roasted bitterness to balance. Dark fruits along for the rides and a bit of an earthy hop presence.
Medium to low carbonation with a borderline oily mouthfeel. I'm unsure how to compare this to other american stouts. It's kind of at an in-between profile ABV-wise. (What the hell is a Sylvan Stout anyway?) Overall, I kind of feel like this beer is underwhelming - it's solid and there's nothing wrong with it, but I wouldn't purchase it again just because of it's price point and availability. There are some better options out there that I could almost get a 6pk of for the price of this 22oz. Still, I am glad to have tried another beer from a brewery that has yet to disappoint.

Pour produces an amazing 3 fingers of frothy brown head. Milkshake like. Color of the body is a very dark brown, almost black. Aroma contains notes of roasted barley, chocolate malt, mild black cherry tones. This beer just appears and smells hearty and wholesome. Taste contains flavors up front of roasted malt grain that mellows out. When this happens, more chocolate malt can be tasted. Fruity notes pick up at the center. Black cherry, some citris from what is the beginning of a nice hop bitterness to this beer. Finish keeps the hop flavors and comes in with a bit of a tobacco hint. Aftertaste leaves the roasted, charry flavor from the grains and bittering hops dancing on the palate. At 7%, this beer is very drinkable and delicious.

I didn't see the name of the beer on the label and it wasn't until I looked for it among the other offerings listed on BA from this brewery. On the bottle it is listed as a sylvan stout, whatever that means. Despite the name and labeling, this is a really good stout from a very interesting brewery with an unconventional background. I'm not sure of their distribution, but I'm glad of its availability where I live. The beer laces nicely and there is a bit of retention, but not much.
The beer is creamy, dark, slightly syrupy consistency and color with a smallish but dark head. The beer has a bit of carbonation for the style and has that very nice inky black transluscent quality. The aroma is very nice, pungent, with chocolate, roasted malts, dark malts, some charred notes, and coffee qualities. The nose has some sweeter malts aromas than you will find in the taste.
The taste will not disappoint. The beer gets high marks for overall creaminess, and slight oily quality on the tongue. It has a full palate of dark malts, a touch of dark chocolate, and coffee flavors. There is just a touch of sweeter malts and a little bit of prickliness at the very beginning, but this segues out into more bittering flavors. The beer has a strong roasted quality, and is loaded with dark unsweetened malts. There is less chocolate flavors than I would have liked. The coffee is slight as well, which is okay by me. It is the charred, dark malts and roasted flavors, and slight bittering dryness in the finish that defines this beer. It is a substantial, full palated affair.

Impressive starting (dark tan!) head--leaves modest chunky lace. No light shines through the dark brown color.
Mild alcohol aroma behind the typical chocolate and black patent smells.
A moderate stout profile--there's notable alcohol in the swallow. The body is lighter than most stouts, but the carbonation is low enough to have the beer feel right. The aftertaste has toasted bread flavors with a light plum relish.

22 ounce bomber, with a cutsie paper tab over the cap, that lets me know it was "Bottled November 2009" Nice, fresh and tasty beer. Always interested in giving a new brew from hyper artisinal Pretty Things a try. Pours pretty darn near black, the head also is a quite dark shade of mocha. Head is of moderate height, and shows much better then average staying power, then turns to a thick film and collar and leaves slippery and sliding sheeting and ample ridges and ripples of lacing. The sniff emits healthy notes of vanilla, dark malt, raisins, and chocolate. Rich and flavorfull stout, more of the same flavors on the tongue and mouth. Smooth and comfortable mouthfeel. More then typical roastyness. After trying several of the other eclectic PT brews, I was unsure of what to expect from a "Sylvan Stout" (whatever that is) from them. What I got was a pretty straight ahead, hearty/robust/flavorful and underneath it all, tasty and enjoyable stout. Nice job and well worth giving this one a try.

Bottle thanks to jlindros.
Pours black with a finger and a half of a smooth tan head.
Scent of molasses, cocoa, roasted malts, dark fruit, bitter, sweet hops, and a hint of smoke. Balanced very well, the bittersweet malts combine so well with the hops. I was expecting much more smoke, but what is there is quite pleasant.
Taste of roasted malts, dark fruit, chocolate, wood, a hint of smoke, and sweet juicy hops. Finishes with a lingering flavor of roasted malts with a touch of smoke. An excellent Stout, balanced with a nice strong flavor. Another great beer from Pretty Things, this one exceeded my expectations.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, oily and biting with a big bite of carbonation, keeping it from being too overbearing and making it nicely drinkable.

Was psyched to finally find this the other night at my local as I have been itching to try it.
Pours a lighter black with a flowing 1-2 finger head. Smells of roasted malts, but the aroma isn't as big as you would think from the pour.
Has a malty taste, but again not as much as you would think. Also has a sweet aftertaste. Very smooth and it hides the booze well, very easy to drink.
Overall, probably not my favorite Pretty Things, but overall very good. Gotta love the artwork and these guys are doing great things.

Bomber to a pint glass. Straight down the middle like it says on the bottle.
It looks dark, dark brown with a mocha tan head that is huge until it settles into something that is a bit smaller but lingering. Lacing is awesome, leaving marks from the top to the bottom of the glass.
I can't place the smell. There is a bit of coffee and some sweet. Something spicy in there too, maybe. It intrigues me and I like it.
The taste is something like the best Guinness you have ever had with some sweet and spice and smoke. On the drier side and has that woodsy feel Dann Paquette speaks of on the label. Almost like tree bark and molasses. There is a slight bitterness from the oats which balance it well. Like a fine, peaty single malt. But beer. I'm digging the originality.
I wish I had another one. Gets a bit chewy, but not syrupy. Smooth and dry and goes down like any stout should, deliciously.
If I may, an edit to this review as I had the new batch on draft tonight 10/19/10. It is nothing like I remember before, with sour, tart cherries in the mouth right away. [I don't want to say infection, right away, though it very well could be.] Then it becomes extremely sweet, like a milk stout, with subtle tobacco, leather, molasses, and light cherry wood smoke notes followed by a bitter hop taste. It looks good, but not all that drinkable. The numbers I give it here are A--4.5, S--4, T--3, M--4, D--3.

Bottled Nov. 2009. Pours a dark chocolate black with transient tan head. Smell has some expresso and roasty malt notes. Taste carries the same theme. Although some chocolate hints are here, there's not much sweetness. I have to comment on the mouthfeel: it's unexpectedly light-bodied and effervescent. Definitely not what I would have figured on first glance. Has a Belgian ale feel to it.
I know it's not a fair comparison but this is what I want Guinness to taste like any time I order a pint.

bottle brought back from Boston by a good friend of mine
a-black..small tight khaki colored head..dissipated quickly..fell to a tight cap and a decent collar..no bubbles present in the darkness
s-roasty...a bit peaty can def smell the subtle smoke in this one...had a bit of a fruity,phenol,floral character to it as well..
t-rush of roastyness..a little coffee..a tad bit of bitterness from the hops..the smoke sneaks in near the end..finishes on a bitter coffee dry note
m-creamy and utterly smooth...acceptable for this style...carbonation is spot on...a bit chewy but does leave me wanting a little more
d-off the charts...exceptionally easy to drink..nothing hinders this from going down smooth
overall a truly impressive beer..not sure what a sylvan stout is but i like it and wish i could get it here..

This "Sylvan Stout" is a deep black in color with a massive, brown two-finger head. The lacing is absolutely amazing and the thick piles of foam are billowy and inviting. I'm not sure what kind of stout this is, but I'm really excited to try it.
The smells are plentiful and I'm initially catching the sting of alcohol, sweet anise, ginger snap cookies, sweet cake frosting (chocolate, of course), a hint of whiskey and something spicy. There might even be a smidgen of sea salt in the mix. Certainly an original and appealing aroma with a ton of character.
Tastes are equally as varied. Chocolate, a nice smokiness and coffee bean are definitely present. The Rauchbier-esque smoke is surprising and delightful and the saltiness in the finale successfully emulates the dry roasted character present in Irish Dry Stouts. I'm also catching a bit of heat on the back of my tongue. Is that chipotle I taste?
The mouth is smooth and crisp and the smokiness adds a nice bite to the tail end and a tingly warmth to the chest.
This seasonal offering is absolutely delicious and superbly flavorful. I would say that a couple glasses of this may be filling, but, it would work perfectly as a digestif and will definitely keep you warm on a cold winter's night.

I have had this beer twice since it was just released in bombers, and I have had mixed feelings on it. Lets see how it is out of the bottle. Appearance is quite dark, with some rocky tan heading that is slow to settle. It has the aroma of an export stout, with some burnt coffee bean, bitter in places, and a hint of smoke. One gets a good dose of bitter coffee, smoke, and slight chocolate from the taste. Mouthfeel is relatively heavy, making it a sipper for me. Alcohol is well hidden within all that smoke. Not half bad...I do not really get the Belgian aspect of this beer, but it certainly passes for me as an export or robust stout. On the lower end of the totem pole as far as Pretty Things beers go, but worth a try no doubt. Cheers

A: Almost pitch black with just a hint of light able to seep through at the bottom of the glass. The head retained quite well and sat at about an inch thick.
S: Hints of molasess and ginger. Not too much roastiness which was strange.
T: The ginger and spices are pretty prevalent, and it lacks the bitterness and roastiness that I am accustomed to in a stout. There is a toffee in the flavor and a strange chocolate flavor, but the spices turn me off a little. As it warmed up though it got a bit smokier which I greatly enjoyed
M: A bit thin for a stout. The flavors are pretty rich but spice heavy. There is no roughness though.
D: It is a nice beer to try, especially if you are in the mood for something a little different. It is a bit more of a winter warmer in my opinion and worth trying once, but this is not my favorite from Pretty things

Had on tap at Armsby Abbey, served in a pint glass.
A: Huge thick rich head that never wants to leave. It takes 3-4 minutes to pour as he has to keep scraping off the head to fill with more beer. Eventually when I get the glass, the head very slowly fades, but still wants to hang around and enjoy the party. The pitch black color traps light surrounding it, almost as if they dimmed the lights just as the beer arrived in front of me, or did they?
N: Nose beckons you with roasted malts, coffee and toffee. Some slight oatmeal flashes me thoughts of breakfast, with my coffee on the side. Then some dark chocolate gushes out in waves, battling its way into the nose trying to fight through the roasted malts and coffee. The chocolate starts to win and become more dominant as the beer breathes and warms.
T: Wow, I think this weighs more per density than the glass its in. Its super rich and pretty thick. Again it bombards you with roasted malts and some more dark chocolate. I'm detecting quite a bit of caramel as well, and I don't mean caramel malts, I mean real caramel. Perhaps it is a product of the malts, but it adds a nice touch. Almost like one of those really interesting coffees you get that have lots of chocolate and caramel in them, except this time in beer form. Some creamy chocolate milk presents itself a little as the beer warms and breaths. As my taste buds start to get past the rich chocolate coffee roasted flavors, I start to get some bitterness that builds a bit. It's a combination of the earthy stout-like charred bitter flavors, and some spicy hop characters pushing out. Then almost a very hint of alcohol warmth that starts to build, both the hop bitterness and alcohol warmth build as the beer magically gets drunken.
M: Very rich and pretty thick, almost have to chew it. Good carbonation to go with it, no Tomme'd beer here. It also leaves a coating around the mouth and tongue reminding you of the flavor for a while.
F: It finishes semi bitter and a nice slight hoppy flavor. The rich creamy chocolate also sticks around, giving you memories of being a kid and drinking the chocolate milk from the carton. Most of the roasted malt and coffee flavors have subsided by the finish. The bitter earthy charred stout-like flavors present themselves quite a bit at the end, probably accentuated by the bittering hops. Although, except for the coat of chocolate and caramel that coats the mouth and tongue, it finishes pretty clean.

3.75/5 rDev -4.8%
Listed as a Sylvan Stout....not sure what that is, so I listed it as an American Stout.
A- Pours a black black black liquid ,starts with an inch of foamy tan head that transforms into some espresso skim covering the whole top.
S - The aroma is verylight all around. Some lightly burnt wood, light ground coffee beans. Bittersweet chocolate. Kinda the usual suspects here. Def not bad, but not outstanding .
T- I get a dark cocolate covered dark cherry with some etoh brandy like heat. Burnt wood and bitter chocolate.
M- The cask warmness makes it feel thin at first, but it does have some thickness to it. I must admit I like cooled (not cold) casks ( ala Hamilton's in San Diego) vs the warm/hot cask...just my 2 cents though. No carb , bit of an etoh burn.
D- I would love to have this on tap ( as opposed to a warm cask), and let it warm up a little. Nice flavor. My offering from this brewery. I am pleased and will keep my eyes peeled for some more.
Brewed out of the now defunct Buzzards Bay Brewery.

The Cochrane Collaboration is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization consisting of a group of more than 31,000 volunteers in more than 120 countries.[3] The collaboration was formed to organize medical research information in a systematic way to facilitate the choices that health professionals, patients, policy makers and others face in health interventions according to the principles of evidence-based medicine.[4][5]
The group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it publishes in The Cochrane Library.[6][7] A few reviews (in fields such as occupational health) have also studied the results of non-randomized, observational studies.
The collaboration formed an official relationship in January 2011 with the World Health Organization (WHO) as a partner non-governmental organization with a seat on the World Health Assembly to provide input into WHO resolutions.[8][9]

The Cochrane Collaboration was founded in 1993 under the leadership of Iain Chalmers. It was developed in response to Archie Cochrane's call for up-to-date, systematic reviews of all relevant randomized controlled trials of health care.[10][11]
Cochrane's suggestion that the methods used to prepare and maintain reviews of controlled trials in pregnancy and childbirth should be applied more widely was taken up by the Research and Development Programme, initiated to support the United Kingdom's National Health Service. Through the NHS R&D programme, led by the first Director of Research and Development Professor Michael Peckham,[12] funds were provided to establish a "Cochrane Centre", to collaborate with others, in the UK and elsewhere, to facilitate systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials across all areas of health care.[13][14]
In October 1995 the Collaboration formed the Cochrane Consumer Network[15] to incorporate patient perspectives into the review process. Shortly thereafter, new "plain language summaries" provided users with a jargon-free synopsis of each systematic review.[16]
The Cochrane Collaboration is currently concentrating on capacity building in health research is individuals, groups, and institutions in LMICs [17]
The logo of the Cochrane Collaboration illustrates a meta analysis of data from seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs), comparing one health care treatment with a placebo in a forest plot. The diagram shows the results of a systematic review and meta analysis on inexpensive course of corticosteroid given to women about to give birth too early – the evidence on effectiveness that would have been revealed had the available RCTs been reviewed systematically a decade earlier. This treatment reduces the odds of the babies of such women dying from the complications of immaturity by 30–50%. Because no systematic review of these trials had been published until 1989, most obstetricians had not realized that the treatment was so effective and therefore many premature babies have probably suffered or died unnecessarily.[18]
An editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in 2004 noted that Cochrane reviews appear to be more updated and of better quality than other reviews and due to their standardized methodologies, was "the best single resource for methodologic research and for developing the science of meta-epidemiology." Their work has also led to methodological improvements in the medical literature. However, the editorial also noted areas for improvement remained, including adequately assessing potential harms from medical interventions and providing a more user friendly format as well as promoting international collaboration.[19]
Cochrane Centres[edit]
The Cochrane Collaboration is split into smaller divisions based on a number of factors, one of these being geographical location, Cochrane Centres are responsible for the Cochrane Review groups in their respective regions, also working on promoting evidence based healthcare and access to their Reviews.[20]
United Kingdom Cochrane Centre[edit]
The United Kingdom Cochrane Centre (UKCC) [21] is the first Centre of the Cochrane Collaboration. Funded mostly by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
Almost half of all Cochrane Review Groups are based/ or have bases in the United Kingdom; almost 34% of all authors in the Cochrane Collaboration are based in the UK. [22]
The UKCC activities include: The Learn + Teach Programme, The Engagement Programme, and The Guidelines Project. [23]
South Asian Cochrane Network and Centre[edit]
The South Asian Cochrane Network & Centre (SASIANCC)[24] is a part of the global network of Cochrane Collaboration, and is located at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, India. The centre, originally the South Asian Cochrane Centre, was established in January 2004, as a branch of the Australasian Cochrane Centre, with geographical responsibility for South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, the Maldives and Nepal). SASIANCC is hosted by the Prof Bhooshanam V Moses Centre for Evidence-Informed Healthcare at the Carman Block at the Christian Medical College (CMC) Campus, Bagayam, Vellore since December 2004 in memory of the late Prof Bhooshanam Vasanthakumar Moses at the suggestion of his MBBS colleagues, who also donated funds towards establishing the Centre with the aim of increasing the uptake of reliable and locally relevant evidence to inform health decisions, and to co-ordinate the activities of the South Asian Cochrane Network. In July 2008 it was re-designated as an independent centre of The Cochrane Collaboration, with a co-ordinating centre at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, in India, and five network sites in India, two in Pakistan, one in Sri Lanka, and one in Bangladesh.
Its projects have included the National Snakebite Survey in India,[25] the South Asian Toxicology Network, the Cochrane Student Journal Club [26] and the South Asian Database of Controlled Clinical Trials.
United States Cochrane Center[edit]
The United States Cochrane Center (USCC) was established in December 2002 and operates out of three offices.[27] The main office is headquartered at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. The USCC is dedicated to promoting awareness of the Cochrane Collaboration and its objectives and access to The Cochrane Library in the United States. The USCC main office in Baltimore is responsible for, among other things, providing training and support for review authors, Trials Search Coordinators, Review Group Coordinators, editors, handsearchers, consumers and others.[28]
A special function of the USCC is to support Consumers United for Evidence-based Healthcare (CUE), a partnership with health and consumer advocacy organizations interested in integrating understanding and interpretation of evidence-based healthcare into their advocacy activities, strengthening the voice of consumers in healthcare research, and providing leadership in these areas. From 1994 to 2005, the USCC coordinated development of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), a source of reports of controlled clinical trials worldwide, a master list of journals being searched, and handsearcher training.
The San Francisco Branch of the United States Cochrane Center operates out of the University of California, San Francisco and develops and evaluates systems for assessing and sustaining the quality of Cochrane reviews.
The Caribbean Branch of the USCC was launched in June 2013 and is the reference center for English-speaking Caribbean territories. The branch is housed at the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica.
Cochrane Review Groups[edit]
All in all there are 53 Cochrane Review Groups within the Collaboration, covering different subject areas in healthcare. The contributors to these groups vary from researchers to consumers of healthcare services to healthcare professionals.
Campbell & Cochrane Equity Methods Group[edit]
The Campbell and Cochrane Equity Methods is co-registered with the Cochrane Collaboration and the Campbell Collaboration. It is based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the University of Ottawa. The group encourages authors of Campbell and Cochrane systematic reviews to consider the effect of the interventions on the disadvantaged or their ability to reduce inequities in health.[29] The group provides guidance to authors who want to incorporate equity into their reviews and has developed tools for planning, conducting, and reporting these systematic reviews.[29]
Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections Group[edit]
The Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections group is registered since 1994. Its editorial base is currently located in the Bond University in Australia.The group deals with healthcare interventions aimed at prevention, treatment and rehabilitation aspects of acute respiratory infections including diphtheria,meningitis,measles and chickenpox. About 175 systematic reviews have been conducted under its purview.
Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group[edit]
The Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group has been registered with the Cochrane Collaboration since 1997. Its editorial base is currently located at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in London, England, with a satellite group at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland.[30] The group prepares systematic reviews of all the interventions used to prevent or treat eye diseases and/or visual impairment.[31][32] Additionally, the group considers the evidence for interventions that aim to help people adjust to visual impairment or blindness.
Cochrane Musculoskeletal Group[edit]
The Cochrane Musculoskeletal Group has been registered with the Cochrane Collaboration since 1993. Its editorial base is currently located at the University of Ottawa in Canada, with satellite groups at Cabrini Institute, Melbourne, Australia, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, United States, and at the Hôpital Hôtel-Dieu de Paris, Université Paris Descartes, France.[33] The group prepares up-to-date reviews for the treatment, prevention or rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.[34][35] Additionally, also provides secondary products to make the evidence more friendly for those involved in treatments for musculoskeletal diseases.[36]
Cochrane Occupational Health and Safety Review Group[edit]
The Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) Review Group [37] is one of the 53 review groups in the Cochrane Collaboration. The OSH group publishes reviews of the effectiveness of interventions to reduce occupational diseases, injuries and disability. Currently there are 126 review OSH-related topics in the Cochrane Library. The editorial base is located in Kuopio, Finland and funded by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.

Cookin With The Columns: Grandmother's Memories
Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday. It basically involves three of my favorite things to do: thanking God for all his blessings, getting together with our family, and…eating! I seem to cook big meals for every holiday, but Thanksgiving is definitely one of those holidays that seems to center around food. We always have to have (among other things) turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole for Jonathan, rolls, and desserts.

cohoba, also called Yopo, hallucinogenic snuff made from the seeds of a tropical American tree (Piptadenia peregrina) and used by Indians of the Caribbean and South America at the time of early Spanish explorations. DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) and bufotenine are thought to have been the active principles. Cohoba was inhaled deeply by means of special bilateral tubes.

About This Activity
The Palms West Community Foundation and presenting sponsor Royal Palm Toyota are proud to announce the 16th Annual Wellington Community Fitness 5K Run and Walk. The Wellington Community Fitness 5K Run & Walk has been an annual event since 1997 focused on bringing residents together to promote health and fitness while supporting a charitable organization.
A portion of the proceeds from the 2013 event will benefit the "Jerms" McGraw Second Chance Scholarship at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
In memory of U.S. Marine Corps. 2nd Lt. Jeremiah McGraw '09 ORM, the Palm Beach Atlantic University Alumni Association offers the Jerms McGraw Second Chance Scholarship.
Known by his nickname "Jerms," Lt. McGraw was a student in the MacArthur School of Leadership at PBA, while serving as a Marine reservist, part of the 4th ANGLICO unit in West Palm Beach. Lt. McGraw died on Sept. 10, 2009 during a training exercise in Central Florida while serving his country. He was 22.
Just prior to his death, Lt. McGraw earned a bachelor's degree in organizational management from PBA.
"Jerms was known for his willingness to help anyone, anytime, anywhere," said his father, Tim McGraw.
"In keeping with his heart, we are directing that this scholarship be awarded to students who are dealing with significant setbacks in their lives and are in need of a helping hand to make a fresh start — in other words, students who need a second chance."Event schedule and times

This is a portrait I did of my girlfriend Leslie and her mother Shirley. Shirley was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease several years ago. Most of you probably know what the disease is but for those of you who don't, it is a form of dementia that gradually gets worse over time. It affects memory, thinking and behavior.
Everyone who has aging parents knows what a challenge it is to care for them. Leslie does an outstanding job of this for her mom, even though Shirley doesn't remember that Leslie is her daughter. Hats off to you Leslie!
I thought this portrait conveyed the disconnection. http://www.alzheimers.gov

Robb got an internship with National Geographic and went on to shooting for The Magazine. I returned to Dallas and spent two years with the wonderful and talented Greg Booth, then off on my own. These were great times! http://www.chrisshinnphotography.com robb.kendrick@nationalgeographic
