Cask @ O'Briens. Poured a clear, darker orange-gold with no head. Oily ring. Thick lacing. Strong pine resin and overripe grapefruit in the nose. Biscuity/bready malt. Slick mouthfeel with low carbonation, actually wished this one was an tap instead of the cask. Long, sitcky finish. Hop assault of resin and cedar flavors. Very nice. Bit of a grapefruit, mango hop mix follows. Stronger malt profile gives a bit of sticky sweet alcohol in the end. Normally I don't like this, but it went well with the aggressively hopped beginning. Well done.

A darker amber color for a dipa. Thin ring of head to it. Aroma wasn't over the top, mildly hoppy, not big time like many of Port's offerings.
Taste, thin sweetness, good bitterness, sizeable hopping, big malt bill to back it all up, loads of caramel. Hops presence isn't as big as in some of their single ipa's here. Almost spit out my beer when I was told this stuff was $24 for a growler fill (not a new growler filled, a used one). . .
Its a decent beer, but no way in hell I'd pay $24 for this when Humulus Lager is only $16 a growler, and a substantively better beer.

Thanks to Patrick Rue of The Bruery for sharing this unlabled bottle he got during the GABF this year. I have heard it being on tap at Pizza Port San Clemente but can't believe it's not listed in the BA database. The ABV is a ballpark based on what Patrick said.
A- Clear orange, nice white head.
S- Sweet, not as hop forward as I normally like. This had that DIPA "soupy" sweetness smell to it. Some earthy hops come out in the background though.
T- More hops here, which is good. Not a whole lot of lingering sweetness. Not cloying. Fairly dry. I think they could bring out the hops here even more.
Overall an interesting beer. Don't know if I could drink a whole lot of it, but it's one of those beers that good in small amounts.

On tap at Pizza Port San Clemente on 3/22/09. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a clear copper amber with a 1/2 finger of soft off-white head. Retains with a thin creamy layer that froths up nicely on the sides of the glass. The aroma is just bursting with robust tropical fruit character, spicy hops, and a deep smelling combo of sweet caramel and toasted bready malts. Solid overall West Coast bouquet.
The taste is spicy and sticky resinous hop bitterness up front, with a deeply tangy backbone of zesty citrus and caramel malts. Piney hops stick the tongue, lingering for a good while. The mouthfeel is medium bodied but this bad boy is definitely packing some alcohol beef in it. The carbonation is fairly creamy but the overall warmth mixes with the aggressive hop profile to give this a bit of a sting.
Solid but unfortunately, not a spectacular DIPA. I liked the full throttle West Coast flavors in this but that almost 9% ABV needed to be tempered a bit more. Just too much warmth for me to overly enjoy this.

A: hazy amber with thin lace and no head
S: not too much on the nose, some mild floral hop presence, slight sweet malt, orange-citrus notes become more present as the beer approaches room temp
T: pretty big bite throughout the palate despite nose, lots of pine qualities, faint residual malt character
M: clean finish with some hop stickiness throughout, pretty round
D: admittedly had after a Duet--just not as appealing but the mouthfeel is definitely worth a second

Pours a nice amber with sustaining head. Big malt and bigger hop aroma. Very fruity. Huge hop flavor profile followed by maltines. Big body, but easy drinking. Much less chewy than the Doheney Double IPA. Medium carbonation. My favorite Pizza Port San Clemente beer!

a - brown hazelnut and amber hues. nice finger frothy thick head and nice retention.
s - piney resiny. strong hops with a slight malt undertone. more grassy and green smelling than other double ipas.
t - bitter bitter hops with sort of a sweet carmely undertone similar to the smell but more established in the taste.
m - medium carbonation and body. based on the look and taste i would have assumed that it would have a fuller body but this one is pretty medium bodied making a little more handleable of an ipa.
o - although not as complex as others still very bold and refreshing. thoroughly enjoyable.

On-tap at Pizza Port San Clemente
A: A clear golden orange color with a thin white head and some spotty lacing.
S: Certainly more toward the fruity side of double IPAs. Sweet tropical fruits such as pineapple, with sweet citrus notes as well. A bit of caramel and a moderate bread note. Just a light pine character.
T: A very nice citrus flavor which is a bit more toward the sweet side. Grapefruit, pineapple, and orange make up the fruit notes. A touch of pine with a moderate bitterness to go with some sweet caramel.
M: The body is medium with a moderate level of carbonation.
D: Not quite as in your face with the hops as many of the style, but good flavors and easy to drink.

I didn't have this at San Clemente, but rather Beachwood BBQ in Seal Beach, but I know the keg they had was from the San Clemente location.
Appearance: Poured with a golden amber color, with a nice sizeable head that lasted for some time. Solid arms of lace remain for some time upon a swirl.
Smell: Biscuity malts predominate the aroma, followed by a sort of rotten citrus aroma and ending with fresh cut grass. A very, very weird DIPA aroma. The biscuit aroma really stood out, in a way I'm not used to - as in, it was just overwhelmingly a distinct smell of biscuits, not even "biscuit-like."
Taste: Biscuit malt again, hay, and grapefruit on the back end. I think it's fair to say this beer is more malt than hops. Still, I'm always kind of a sucker for DIPA's that dance around the norms of the style, since, at times, they all begin to blend together a bit in one's mind. Still, this was a little too unconventional.
Mouthfeel: Slight carbo, not dry, good and juicy. Fairly appropriate for the style, I'd say.
Drinkability: The biscuit flavors are just too off-putting and give you this kind of permanent cognitive dissonance as you're sipping the beer.

On tap at Pizza Port San Clemente in a tulip.
A: Light amber with an impressive off white head. Lots of scattered lacing.
S: A blast of pine resin with orange pith, grapefruit rind, and only a little fruit flesh. Malt is faint and redolent of caramel. Lightly floral.
T: Resinous pine with a blend of grapefruit and orange flesh. The pith and rind components match the strength of the sweeter flesh notes. Bitterness is at an upper moderate level. Aggressive, though no harsh alcohol or astringent notes. The dry and bitter finish is clean, and resin lingers.
M: Lower medium in body with upper moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is dry and sticky.
Overall: Another hoppy winner from the Pizza Port family. No surprise there. Now, I think I'll have a pint of Pseudo.

On-tap at the San Clemente location, on to the beer:
A muddy, orange brown color is a little darker than the usual DIPA, but the fluffy, persistant head and amazing lacing is a beautiful thing. If you like the smell of hop juice, then you're nose will love you when you smell this beer. Perfumy, I might add. In the mouth, it is a smooth, hoppy treat with a medium-heavy body. Not really bitter, with citrus, grapefruit, pine, and a hint of booze. I got a small pinch of phenolic flavor echoing when the beer is half-way down.
Another good DIPA I have to add to my portfolio of good DIPA's. My daily dose of hops has been satisfied.

Reviewed from notes. This was one 4.5 oz. taster of a flight of four I sampled at PP San Clemente in late May, 2011.
Glowing orange nectar color. Beautiful! Very fragrant and skunky smell. It is light in body for an Imperial IPA, but that helps a bit with the very thick resinous nature of the hops. Floral and piney in a good way. The malt helps keep the IBUs in check during the primary and secondary flavors. The light body helps prevent the brew from over drying or shocking your palette on the linger.
I'm not getting a hint of citrus on this guy, which is OK. However, you sometimes don't realize what some of those balancing, fruitier flavors do to help keep more bitter varieties in check.

Had this on-tap at Pizza Port in San Clemente. Pours a bright orange colour with thick white head. Lacing is pretty much coating the glass. Not sure how a double IPA could look better than this really. Smells of piney hop, without too much of a malt balance. Bitterness isn't as high as some double IPA's, but it still packs a punch. I think if I wasn't in California the review for this could have scewed higher, but this wasn't near the top for the beers on this trip even though it was good.

Pours a bright golden red (not orange, though--more gold than red) with about 1/2 inch head.
Smells of tropical fruit and less obviously of pine and sweet flowers.
Taste is bright and hoppy, but not very bitter. The beer does not taste boozy.
This beer feels pleasantly complex and satisfying to my mouth.
This was a joy to drink, and when I'm back down here, I'm sure I'll order it again.

Had this on tap.
This poured a bright orange.
The Killer Dana is super dry hopped. You can't smell or taste the alcohol, which is pretty impressive. It smelled of typical west coast hops- citrus fruits, pine, a bit of cedar. It tasted bright and hoppy but not too bitter.

On tap at Fat Heads. Served in a snifter.
Killer Dana is one of the Port beers I had at the Hop Harvest festival but my palate was shot by the later part of the day. So I was thrilled to see it back on tap again when I returned this past weekend. The beer looks nice in the snifter but is a unique color for a DIPA. It's an amber with ruby red notes around the edges and a deep splash of mahogany in the center. The beer is relatively cloudy and has little head but good retention and nice lace.
The hop bill for this is right up my alley, but it is just a bit unbalanced. The wild cattiness comes across first in a fit of kitty pee and green onions. Underneath that strong scent, there is some grapefruit and pine lingering. The smell is just really heavy and could use more bright notes like orange or mango. A touch of toasted malt underneath makes this one strange but powerful DIPA.
I do like the way this tastes, though. There's a ton of malt balancing things out with some caramel and toast notes. The hops are dank and wild, with more simcoe silliness and some citrus notes. A huge spike of bitterness gives way to sweet malt. Interesting and really well put together - the missing elements in the nose come through in the taste.
The mouthfeel is creamy with low carb and medium body, finishing in a dry feel with lingering bitterness. This is not the most drinkable due to the bitterness, but I enjoyed the taste for one snifter's worth.

June 28, 2012, 12:00 AM —
If you spend any time following front-page news you know that most of it is grim. Floods. Wars. Earthquakes. Robbery. Murder. It's enough to make a reader skip to the sports section.
For savvy investors, though, the news is not just about tragedy; it's about money. Or, more precisely, keeping an eye on the news is about identifying risk before its ramifications hit your investments.
That's why I was intrigued by work done at the Yale Center for Analytical Sciences by researchers William Casey King and Michael Kane. They analyzed unstructured data from news feeds to see how it can affect risk in corporate bonds.
In their study King and Kane note that corporate bonds are widely considered safer investments than equities. As such, the market for these bonds is huge, more than $6.3 trillion, greater than the combined investments in treasuries or municipal bonds. However, as they learned, even a "safe" investment is not immune to the downside of very bad news.
The Yale professors analyzed the impact of the Transocean drilling platform catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 on BP's bond prices. Not surprisingly, they discovered that BP's share prices tumbled after news of the disaster became widespread. But, after a lag, the bond prices fell in line with the share price.
I do not pretend to be a financial wizard, so I won't attempt to explain how mixed-asset hedging works. But according to King and Kane, had BP bond investors been using real-time, Complex-Event Processing technology to analyze the news about the disaster, they could have adjusted their hedge in bonds quickly enough to have avoided substantial losses compared with the more traditional hedge or using treasuries.
My point, however, is simple. There are bottom-line reasons for applying analytical tools to unstructured data even in real time. It's not pie-in-the-sky theory. So, if your business gets rocked by news events or your brand is being battered on social networks, you don't need to apply resources after the fact to clean up the mess. Instead, you can apply predictive analytics on the unstructured information to avoid the mess entirely, or, worst case, hedge its effect on your bottom line.

New Berlin - Building the bunch of theatrical sets needed for the New Berlin Eisenhower High School production of "The Wizard of Oz" was a little like holding an old fashioned barnraising that engaged everyone in the effort, directors Mary Kirby and Natalie Baertschy said.
"We had so many sets to build that we had to create a 'bring your dad to crew day,' " Kirby said. "Our dads, plus those of the cast and crew, some moms, some willing New Berlin neighbors, even a grandpa or two came to lend a hand."
But all is ready now for the curtain going up at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the school, 4333 S. Sunnyslope Road. The play also will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.
But sets were only the beginning of the challenges for the show that is known for special effects, Baertschy said.
"We had to think outside the box, and do some thinking in the aisles of Home Depot, but we think the effects work perfectly in our vision of Oz," she said.
Overall she said the show has got it all: "great music, clever choreography, a cute dog, beautiful sets, magic."

Intergovernmental Fiscal Reform, Financial Deepening, and Regional Disparity in China: A Missing Link
AbstractIt becomes apparent that growing disparity in China is highly associated with regional variation of productivity, and that productivity is significantly impacted by financial deepening process. After identifying and estimating the share of bank lending to non-state sector, this paper finds a significant variation in the level of financial deepening between regions. Then this paper examines why financial development process turns out to be divergent between coastal and inland regions. Such analysis places the issue of enlarging regional imbalance in China in a context specific to the weakness of re-centralization process of intergovernmental fiscal relations in 1994.

Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has released the enhanced Accenture Public Health Platform (APHP) Version 3.1 software to help U.S. state health and human service agencies to adapt to evolving Medicaid requirements and healthcare reform goals.
APHP is an integrated, flexible software product that supports the state Medicaid enterprise in administering health benefits, improving administrative efficiency and flexibility in program management, speeding technology deployment and reducing total cost of ownership. It is the first software of its kind designed specifically to help support compliance with the Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) standards set by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and required for states to secure federal funding.
"Our software platform will help states implement new Medicaid system functionality faster and at lower risk, reduce the burdens on agency staff, and streamline public health systems to enable more clinical data-sharing and interoperability," said David McCurley, Accenture's managing director for health and public sector software. "We are addressing strong needs in the market for a straightforward solution to the complex process of maintaining and upgrading Medicaid systems."
APHP follows industry standards and a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) approach that is highly adaptable and scalable for evolving Medicaid program needs. A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework provides a modular structure to enable integration across agencies. It also makes it easier for agencies to update Medicaid systems to meet new program requirements from policy or legislation, such as from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA").
Version 3.1 of APHP represents continued progress and investment by Accenture in providing the public service health market with software that offers broader functionality and greater flexibility in system configuration. APHP is one component of Accenture's suite of health and public service software offerings for states, from Medicaid programs to integrated eligibility to insurance exchanges to clinical information exchanges and health analytics.

A pan to inside the Shrine and the merciful end (for now) of the 2001 theme (Geddit? Geddit?) gives way to a sustained Suspenseful Chord and the hushed, reverent chanting of a choir of voices repeating, "Oscar night! Oscar night! Oscar night!" over and over and over. Because it's always important to drench the second-highest rated night of television of the year with the familiar musical cues of a traveling national tour of Pippin. Pan to the giant screen on the Oscar set -- a set ripped from Double Dare's Most Abusive Physical Challenge -- and a spacey backdrop on the monitor that looks like the opening credits to Third Rock writ large, punctuated with clips of happy Oscar winners throughout the ages. The 2001 theme kicks up again. I hate a lot of people who have won Oscars in the last ten years or so. We pan through the rest of space and come upon an unbelievably cheesy space set that at least reassures me and the rest of the sci-fi dorks that the set to MST3K hasn't been stripped down and sold for scrap metal. 'Cause that shit right there should be in the Smithsonian. And then, inexplicably, we're inside the International Space Station, where three astronauts (one of whom, I think, is Carrot Top) introduce a cardboard cutout of Steve Martin. Mrs. Top (Tom Servo and Crow float near her in silence) informs her colleagues to "get the ejection pod ready," which I wouldn't think was an acceptable use of humor if I were hovering hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface, but that's just me. Mrs. Top introduces our host Steve Martin, and we're back inside the Shrine, where the refreshingly non-Billy Crystal character strolls out to thunderous applause. And say what you will about his performance on this particular gig (which, comparatively, I thought was fine), the man's great. He's a writer and actor and, though I haven't seen him socially in a while, seems like an all-around nice guy. He's self-deprecating. He's ironic about Hollywood's raging self-love. He's gone gray naturally. People seem to like him. I like him. Russell Crowe does not like him. We'll get to that.
He opens with a joke about Afghanistan that I only get because Jon Stewart explained it to me very slowly on The Daily Show a few weeks ago, then moves on to the Hollywood humor of wondering, "When they asked me back in January if I would host the Oscars, the first thought that came into my mind was, 'Would there be enough time for my facelift to heal?'" A bit of clever visual juxtaposition cuts to a close-up of Michael Douglas, Jowly Joe laughing on the outside but his internal turmoil asking, "Can they do that now? Why, it's like living in the fuuuture! Note to self: find out if Steve's just kidding." Tax cut joke. Gays in Hollywood joke. The crowd applauds Ellen Burstyn. As well they should. "Please, hold your applause until it's for me." Heh. The following subversion is deployed: "Ellen Burstyn did something that not many actresses would do for a role in a movie. She made herself look thirty pounds heavier and twenty years older. And Russell Crowe still hit on her." Small laugh. Monitor shot of Russell Crowe looking stone-faced and unbelievably furious. The laughter grows immeasurably. A long riff on all of the perks of becoming "really famous" is way insider and LA, and no one on this coast cares. To wit: "People say to me, 'Steve, you're a Hollywood actor. You must be so separated from the world. How do you keep in touch with ordinary life?' Well, it is possible and it can be done. Like, the other day, I was having dinner at my house with Mel, Julia, Tom, and Gwyneth." It's a fine premise, but it's belabored for sixty subsequent hours. Mel, Julia, Tom, Gwyneth. At his house. For dinner. The top mast of the U.S.S. Punchline fades into the haze, dips below the horizon, disappears from sight, and is never to be seen again. Still, if this were seven of the last twelve years right now, Mr. Saturday Night would be a mere third of the way through an opening song-and-dance montage, horribly rhyming "Jerry Maguire" with "Spenser For Hire," and I would be underneath the couch, whimpering. This right here is the least of all evils. Hell, this isn't even really that evil. Louis Gossett Junior fails to understand a joke about Crouching Tiger until he realizes he is on camera, and then proceeds to find the joke quite amusing indeed. A Dude, Where's My Car? joke hits, and a joke about taking a nine-year-old to see Gladiator evinces a smile even from Aussie McCrankybloke, relieved that it isn't about him sleeping with Ellen Burstyn. Or maybe he's glad that no one's wrapping up a jaunty ditty in which "Crouching Tiger" and "That Rod Steiger" form some unholy rhyming couplet reunion or how "Erin Brockovich" could "Act like such a…witch!" and I become really glad for the very existence of Steve Martin all over again.

For years I was not happy with Western Medicine. Their tools, I thought, were of pain, misery and greed. With full intent to hurt, physicians would lance their steely glances upon their patients — just secretly waiting to inflict more monetary sadness.
This has not been the case as I walk the health/wellness journey with my two youngest children. Instead all the medical persons inform me of what is best for children and adults. Little to no technology, whole foods, Yoga, exercise, your community, meditation…all these things are what make a human body work in the best form. Even in my most "crunchy" of mindful parenting, the New Healers are counseling me to listen to my inner mother – the one that feels silenced by a culture of Things, Stuff and Hurry.

It has been a long time since my last writing here. The usual reason(s) for time away from my blog are not there this time, as my little family has been dealing with some pretty significant health stuff. In tandem with this, all my technology outlets and tools decided to revolt at the same time. Everything is as it should be.
Tomorrow I'll post a little more of what is shaking on down the Upton Family Tree. For now, however, it just feels nice to be back in the saddle…

Sample Report
Why Did He Do It?
Michelangelo produced three sculptures of the Madonna holding the dead Christ in her lap (called the Piet). The first (1498-99) at St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, is the one we all know. The second (ca. 1550?) is at the Museo Civico in Milan.
The third, called the Florence Piet, and the subject of Prof. Wasserman's Michelangelo's Florence Piet, was started about 1550. Michelangelo worked fitfully on this sculpture for about a decade, attacked it one day with a hammer and chisel, seriously damaged it, was stopped by a servant, and never touched the work again. Partially repaired, the Florence Piet passed through many hands and finally ended up in the Museo dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence.
This episode has puzzled scholars for centuries. Why did Michelangelo mutilate his own work? Did he want to destroy it or did he have a new design in mind?
Wasserman subjects the Florence Piet to art historical analysis, but goes one giant step further by enlisting IBM engineers to create a computer-generated virtual model of the work. Now, instead of working with a heavy, fragile sculpture in situ, Wasserman has a model that he can manipulate on a computer screen. He can tilt the work backwards, lift up either side, and view it in ways that were physically impossible before. As a result, he discovers previously unimaginable detail and perspectives.
Michelangelo's Florence Piet comes with a CD-ROM that lets the reader view and manipulate the virtual model as Wasserman did. Videos show the Florence Piet from numerous angles. There are useful presentations by the author and IBM engineers.
Wasserman concludes that Michelangelo attacked his sculpture because he wanted to change it. He says that Michelangelo had left himself enough marble to create a new design. Is Wasserman right or wrong? Let the specialists debate. One thing is for sure: This brilliant, path-breaking scholar has taken art history into a new realm. Michelangelo's Florence Piet is a superb book that will become a classic.

375ml bottle into a snifter
A: Pours a moderately hazy amber color with two fingers of very fluffy white head. Decent retention and poor lacing.
S: Strong funkiness - barnyard and must. Sourness comes out fairly mildly, but it's a bit of a pungent, vinegar note. I think this aroma comes a bit from the white wine as well, maybe a bit strong for my taste. Slightly buttery, too.
T: White wine barrel comes out very strong here - I get mild grapes along with a fairly strong vanilla and butter note. This mixes oddly with a stone fruit and funky flavor. As the beer warms, it melds a bit better together. The stone fruit and funk are really nice together.
M: A bit thick for the style, but the strong carbonation is spot on.
O: A nice beer. The flavors are pretty good, but the buttery flavor is a bit distracting.

Thanks to John the agent for the sample. Comes in a green 375 ml bottle. Pours out a deep cloudy amber hue, thick creamy beige head with good retention.
Sharp, tangy yeast on the nose, some wood, mild toasty malt, mild citrus.
Toasty, nutty malt, sharp yeast character, white raisins, citrus zest, some woody notes near the finish, mild spice.
Medium-bodied mouthfeel, smooth texture with a dry character, moderately brisk carbonation.
The barrel aging is subtle for this version of It's Alive, adds a bit more alcohol warmth and some extra nuance. Worth checking out, however one is more than enough for me.

Pour a cloudy orange with an off-white head. Subtle tartness of lemon on the nose. Some white wine, a bit of Bretty funk, oak, and light spice notes. Light straw, some grass, and a definite barnyard as it warms. Light rubber band in there, too. The flavor is not bad. White wine, grass, Brett/barnyard funk, and spices. Some lactic tartness, a definite rubber band note, and a fairly heavy dose of tannins on the finish, making it very dry.

3.7/5 rDev -7.7%
Dark caramel color. Flakes of yeast settled to the bottom. Big, billowing head with great retention and plenty of soapy lacing.
Smells very close to Goose Island Matilda. Some yeast character with a highly acidic citric quality.
Acidic citrus comes through in the flavor as well. Underlying caramel malt quality with a hint of dark fruit and burnt sugar. Mild yeast.
Medium body. Dry finish. Decent carbonation. Yeasty texture.
Not a bad sour. Good complexity and decent balance.

my bottle says 8% abv, not 9. i was a bit underwhelmed by this, after eager anticipation and really enjoying the USAlive, this one didnt seem to do it as well. pours hazy copper color with plenty of yeast floaters and a small off white head that fades fast. the nose is a little funky, but more acidic than anything. the wine barrel as apparently tamed rather than intensified some of the better features of the USAlive, particularly its crazy interesting yeasty characteristic, as well as the carbonation, which was really lacking in this one. flavor is dry and malty, with some gentle acidity from the wine barrel, but not as much of that barnyard classic wild ale hustle that i am used to. a little fruity in the finish, this is a beer that seemed to not quite unite elementally, one that was disected rather than brought together by the wine barrel, which really didnt do much for this. ive got the lychee version in the fridge too, so we'll have to see how that one goes, but for 15 bucks you can afford to skip this one.

After having the pleasure to drink "It's Alive!" for the first time a few years ago, with the cryogenic hibernation of the wild ale in white wine barrel aging, it's now apparent that It's Alive! is still alive!
The darker-than-expected amber beer is certainly a few shades darker than the wild or sour ales that which I have become accustomed, but the same head character- with all it's rocky froth cap and lacy broken rings- all remain firm and withstanding. Still, the beer underneath sure does look like Irish red ale.
Strong earthen scents of leather, dried and dusty oak, dried limes, musty sea air, pepper and horse hair rise immediately, but a quick balance of bread crust, caramel, and biscuit reside closely behind the more pungent and rustic scent.
However in flavor, the balance reverses. First the mouth is met with a caramel malt coat with bread, grain, and toffee. And then the earthy complexities begin piling on. First of limes and salty brine, but then of leather and wood, before finishing peppery and almost peaty. Vinous notes provide a glimpse into the white grape, cider, sharp acidity, light pear fruits, and mineral taste to finish.
Medium-light overall, but the beer does carry an inherent heafty weight in comparison to many of the wild or sour ales out there- this one simply delivers an inordinate amount of residual sweetness that's intentional. But the beer is sure to release its malty textures, yet retain its champagne-like carbonation for a zesty and racy finish. Mild astringency, alcohol warmth, and vinous acidity all accompany the straw-like hop bitterness to finish the session.
With its high phenolic and estery balance, pungently earthen complexities, and curious malt sweetness; it's only logical to expect the oak and wine influences to both pull the beer together and complicate the palate with each and every sip.

Petition to oust San Diego mayor Filner
SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- A petition has now been started to boot San Diego's mayor from office. It began officially at midnight. This comes after several sexual harassment allegations against mayor Bob Filner. Volunteers will be waiting at the finish line of a half marathon and at a Freedom from Filner" march downtown. Filner has resisted numerous calls to resign from the nine-member city council, and state and federal elected officials, including house minority leader Nancy Pelosi. She says her fellow democrat should step down and spare San Diego the pain and expense of a recall election. More than a dozen women have publicly accused the 70-year-old former congressman of making inappropriate statements or advances.

Draft of Strategic Research Plan focus of upcoming town hall
Queen's community members will offer their comments on the structure of the draft Strategic Research Plan (SRP) at a town hall meeting on Tuesday, September 27.
"The passionate feedback from faculty, staff and students played an integral role in understanding how the university can best support and enhance the research enterprise at Queen's. Their continued contributions will be vital as we work toward a plan that reflects the vision of the research community and fits the needs of everyone at Queen's," says Vice-Principal (Research) Steven Liss.
At the upcoming town hall meeting, Dr. Liss will present a summary of the key features of the initial draft so that attendees can ask questions and offer their comments on the structure. Feedback can also be offered through the interactive SRP blog, which also contains past updates and full details on the planning process.
Following the review of the draft's structure, discussions will extend to defining Queen's research strengths and the institutional focus for the next three to five years. Feedback from the community will be incorporated into a second draft. At that time, the document will be posted for consultation and review. The entire process is expected to be complete by late fall or early winter.
Earlier this year, Senate approved a process to review and revise the current Strategic Research Plan, which was first published in 2003 and updated in 2006. The planned revisions, in response to a shifting research landscape and changing research directions, will maintain Queen's high standards for research and stay true to the values of the academic community.
The town hall meeting will take place Tuesday, September 27 from noon until 1 pm in the McLaughlin Room of the John Deutsch University Centre.

Jessica Keeps Messing Up Her Lines
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 53 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Just about a week ago Jessica screwed up her tribute to Dolly Parton at the Kennedy Center. Apparently she can't get her lines right on the set of Blonde Ambition either. Poor Jess, but at least Luke is being supportive. Here's more:
A source on the Shreveport, Louisiana set of "Blonde Ambition" tells Star that Simpson is having trouble with her script lines. "After the seventh take on one shot, the director hid a microphone in her ear so a crew member could feed her lines," a source told the tab. "Everyone was embarrassed for her, but she laughed it off, saying 'I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry." Co-star Luke Wilson was sympathetic, reports the source, and "patted [Simpson] on the back and told her it would be okay."

I have lived in Georgia for 19 years and I am appalled at how crappy Chestica's "Georgia" accent was. Atrocious. mar....she keeps getting roles because her Pimp is the producing the movie and partially bankrolling the movie. Her coat IS very cute. That is the only nice thing I can say.

I lived in Georgia for 5 years and no ones accent sounded at all like Jessicas in the movie..(and the direct tv commerical is worst , if thats possible..)yuck.... I think alot of it was over acting as well and trying to say the words correctly that it made her accent sound so bad. And I do agree with the comment about all the hard working Talented actresses that are trying to get a break in this business and an id*ot like Jessica gets a role and she cant bother to get her lines right thats not far. But her payback will be the usual failure at the box office. ( and if the comment about what her mom they say was true ...about getting her stuff right or getting out of the buisness...I LOVE IT!!! )

Her outfit is adorable in these pictures. Of course, we could all look so incredible if we had a team of 45 people waiting on us hand and foot, fluffing our hair, touching up our makeup, lint-rolling our clothes, and -oh yeah- feeding us our lines so we wouldn't look like an idiot. She is a horrible actress, and an even worse singer. I'm not even really sure why she's famous anymore.

i think its cause a Texas accent is different than say a Georgia accent. I know for sure that an upstate South Caroina accent is different than a Low Country accent. when you are surrounded by them for 24 years you learn these things... :)

Has anyone seen any pictures of Luke Wilson on set or anything saying he or his publicist confirmed that he is doing the movie? There were so many rumors about a month ago about how someone said he said he would never do a movie with Jessica, and all the on set pics I've seen are only of Jessica. It just seems a little weird.

While I agree that she looks OK here, I would have to say that the only reason is b/c she is on set and someone else is picking out her clothes choices for her. The girl has no taste of her own.

No offense, but why should she be given sympathy because she keeps messing up? Do you know how many proven actresses would love to be in her position? Maybe if she spent less time obsessing about what new guy to hook up with, and less time with Ken Paves, she could possibly learn a line or two.

'For Kerry, Israeli blood is cheaper than American blood'
Netanyahu and Danon.
(photo credit:MARC ISRAEL SELLEM/THE JERUSALEM POST)
When Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu formed his government last year, he promoted four young, up-and-coming Likud MKs to deputy minister: Ophir Akunis, Ze'ev Elkin, Tzipi Hotovely and Danny Danon.All four are hawks who oppose the creation of a Palestinian state. But since their appointment, they have taken very different approaches.They can be compared to the four sons who were discussed in Jewish homes around the world this week at Passover Seders.Akunis is Netanyahu's good son. A former aide to the prime minister, he gives interviews all the time defending his policies, or at least explaining Netanyahu's moves that he opposes.Elkin is far from a simpleton, possessing crafty political maneuvering skills that helped make Netanyahu's previous coalition, which he chaired, far more stable than the current one. But he has tried to remain on everyone's good side: Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, and the most extreme settlers.One would have to be naive to think he could keep that up.Hotovely has settled down, preferring to focus this term on getting married and giving birth to her daughter, who she is taking care of full-time on maternity leave. She still knows how to ask, but the MK who once queried the prime minister most at faction meetings is now willingly silent.That leaves Danon, who is unquestionably the wicked son. If Netanyahu thought appointing him deputy defense minister would make him content, disciplined, or at least responsible, he had another thing coming. Danon has become a thorn in the side of the Americans, the chairman of the powerful Likud central committee, and the prime minister's most vocal critic.In an interview conducted Thursday morning, Danon explains why he has threatened to resign if a fourth round of prisoner releases takes place, takes credit for the current coalition crisis with Bayit Yehudi, and reveals how he intends to use the Likud institutions he heads to prevent Netanyahu from making diplomatic concessions.It has now been a month since March 19, when you threatened to resign if a fourth round of prisoner releases takes place. Are you surprised you're still deputy defense minister? I said back then that I hoped there wouldn't be a fourth round and I could keep my job. But I still think it will unfortunately happen, and I will keep my promise to give the prime minister my resignation letter. The letter will say that releasing murderers does not fit our values, and this week's terrorist attack reinforced that. There is no point in a fourth round since the talks will end soon anyway.You didn't quit over the first three rounds. In the spirit of the Passover Seder, in which we ask why that night is different from all others, why is the fourth round different from the other rounds? I was against the first three rounds too.I was skeptical of those who said those rounds could lead to new accomplishments, but I understood their opinion.This round is only intended to buy more time, and that's a redline for me. The mask of Abbas has been removed. He was only doing the process to get the murderers released and then find an excuse to blow up the talks. I started all alone in my protest, and I am happy I am not alone anymore. Had I not started this effort, figures in Bayit Yehudi and Likud would not have spoken so forcefully.
But Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett is only protesting the release of Israeli Arabs. If they are replaced on the list by Palestinians, he stays in the government.
I hope those who joined me in threatening to leave keep their word. I know there are efforts to compromise with them. If they keep to their principles, I think this move can be stopped. It is a strategic mistake to release the Israeli Arabs. It is terrible to make Abbas the liberator of Israeli Arabs and make him their leader. There will be parades with Abbas's picture in Umm el-Fahm. But it is a strategic mistake to focus on the Israeli Arabs. Releasing Palestinian murderers also cannot be justified.
But aren't you really still the only one threatening to quit if the fourth round takes place no matter who is in it? Coalition chairman Yariv Levin and Elkin have spoken out against it. I expect them to stay tough. I have no responsibility for what they do, but I hope they carry out what they said they would.Among the ministers, there has been a change. I knew the prisoner releases would pass in the government, but I said I would quit anyway. Bennett saying the same is a significant change. The government is going in a different direction. It is no longer serving [Hatnua leader] Tzipi Livni.Why didn't the inclusion of Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard persuade you to drop your threat? When I heard Pollard would be in the deal, I reconsidered. I fought for Pollard's freedom together with activist Rabbi Avi Weiss when I was an emissary of the Betar movement in the US 20 years ago.But then I read what Pollard wrote in the Post last August questioning the morality of prisoner releases, and he persuaded me. I was not the only one who said including him in a deal is cynical. I expected to be attacked by the Right for saying that the connection was un-kosher but I was not attacked.But The Jerusalem Post has reported this month that Pollard would not decide to remain in prison as part of an agreement in which Palestinian and Israeli prisoners are released.
I can't judge him if his state of mind has changed. I think he needs to come home, but not this way. Now that the US no longer deems him a security risk, it is clear that there is no reason not to release him other than excuses. We should insist more than ever that his release not be part of the negotiations with the Palestinians.But what if a deal is the only way to get him out alive? What if you and Bennett are condemning him to death by opposing the deal? It's not fair to present it that way. I want Pollard home, and I also don't want buses blowing up. I'd tell Pollard that I am thinking about him but also about the victims of future attacks, and that's why I can't tolerate such twisted linkage.By throwing him in as a bargaining chip, like a chip in a casino, [US Secretary of State John] Kerry is showing the cynicism of him and his negotiations.What do you think of Kerry blaming the stalemate in the diplomatic negotiations on Israel building in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo, and not his own mistake in committing to the release of Israeli Arabs in prisoner releases without consulting with Israel? There is an understanding by people in Israel that the current administration in the US is against us. Israelis didn't get emotional when the US blamed the failure of the talks on building in Gilo. They saw it as part of the American administration's one-sidedness. To say to a government that has released murderers and gotten nothing in return that they are to blame is blatant hypocrisy. The secretary of state was a senator from Massachusetts, where this week many ceremonies were held to commemorate last year's Boston Marathon bombing. In the US, the terrorist has been given a death sentence.But Kerry is asking us to release murderers. He's saying our blood is cheaper than that of the Americans who were killed in Boston. The only words to describe this is a "double standard."It is one thing for you to say that. Do the prime minister and defense minister agree with you? You need to ask them. But in the past, I proved that what I say publicly others are saying quietly. Sometimes they say it publicly later on. I heard ministers say similar things after Kerry blamed Israel.But they said it to me privately and to reporters without using their name.
Would Netanyahu have had an easier time with a Republican president? It's not a matter of parties. It's a matter of stances. The Democrats are pro-Israel too. As I wrote in my book, there have been issues with presidents from both parties, but the American people and Congress have good relations with Israel in a way that crosses party lines. The problem is just with the current administration.We don't know who the candidates will be in 2016, and the views of some of the candidates are still unclear. I have friends who have good relations with [likely Democratic candidate] Hillary Clinton and with other candidates in both parties. The more candidates know about Israel, the better. That's why I have been meeting with potential candidates and inviting them to come here.It is better to get to them now, when we can get more quality time with them.
How would you react to a Kerry candidacy? It would be legitimate. But voters in Democratic primaries and then the American people as a whole would have to judge his term as secretary of state and his achievements. I am not going to give him grades.Your own boss, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, has clearly given Kerry grades on key issues affecting Israel, even though he, unlike you, has an interest in remaining quiet.I will say the secretary has adopted the views of the Palestinians in the talks with Israel. The efforts to stop Iran are at a critical time. The Iranian economy is advancing and exporting more oil. I am worried about the secretary's approach.I would prefer more determined leadership on Iran than we see today. On Syria, we in Israel are careful not to get involved, but Western nations have an opportunity to change a situation that is very problematic.What is your take on the current crisis in Syria? From a humanitarian standpoint, of course it's painful to see whats happening so close to our border. But it also sends us a message that we have to be ready militarily, because the world won't help us. We cannot rely on the mercy of another country.What will happen when the Likud holds its long-awaited convention that you will chair? There will be a convention by the end of May. Diplomatic issues will be raised.What Netanyahu will hear at the convention will balance out the pressure he feels from Livni and the American administration. I welcome the prime minister's recent decision to return to be in contact with party activists.But when he meets with the activists, he attacks you harshly and describes you as a threat to the party's continued existence.I am just glad he's back and giving the activists a chance to talk to him. But I think the prime minister sees Yesh Atid and Yisrael Beytenu, where decisions are made by the leader, and it could be that he is jealous. The Likud is a democratic party. We will make democratic decisions on Kerry's framework and our future with Yisrael Beytenu. When Netanyahu opposed [then-prime minister Ariel] Sharon's support for a Palestinian state, he insisted that the party make a democratic decision and it did.But then Sharon split the party. Could that happen with Netanyahu if he adopted Kerry's framework? I won't let a Likud prime minister implement a plan to return to pre-1967 lines, divide Jerusalem and abandon the Jordan Valley. He can't do that under a Likud banner. I don't know if the prime minister's views are there. I hope not. But I know that the Likud isn't there. I don't like the word split. But if the prime minister implements Kerry's framework, he cannot remain the leader of Likud. The Likud has a tradition of supporting its leaders, but we also are loyal to our path.Since you might leave the Defense Ministry soon, what did you do there? I don't know too many people in politics or the press who give up a job. I was in charge of the reserves and the ministry's security and social affairs department that helps released soldiers and Christians, haredim and other minorities. It would be hard to leave the access to information the ministry has given me. But if I have no choice, I'll return to my modest office in the Knesset.

I don't know about you, rose lovers, but my answer to that question is "right here on my couch." Spoiler alert if you haven't seen tonight's episode yet, but that was one hell of a Reject Limo interview, wasn't it? Not only was I pleasantly surprised by the results of the majorly awkward two-on-one date, but it was also heartening to see one of the nicest guys there (Chris) start to overtake Brooks as the front-runner. Stay tuned for my full recap later tonight (UPDATE: Click over for Kristen's full Bachelorette episode 5 recap and Chris Harrison's behind-the-scenes Bachelorette blog), and in the meantime express your joy (or, if for some reason you're unhappy about things) anger at who went home tonight. Plus, ponder these burning Bachelorette questions: How is this only the first time in franchise history that we're seeing contestants soak in a hot tug? Why doesn't Team Bachelorette put hidden cameras in all of their transport vans, since they're clearly missing some juicy stuff? And are you even remotely interested in the idea of James as the Bachelor? (I'm going to say hell no. He definitely doesn't do it for me.)

"March Against Monsanto"
Hundreds March Against Monsanto
What's really in your food? That's the question thousands around the country – and in St. Paul – asked as they rallied against the agriculture company Monsanto on Saturday. Hundreds gathered at the State Capitol for the "March Against Monsanto" Saturday afternoon. Similar scenes took place at more than 200 cities across the country.

The individual with a mutation is part of the process of evolution, but the individual itself did not change. It was born with the mutation.<quoted text>
So you think that one mutated gene in one creature is equivalent to a species?
<quoted text>
And the "unfavorable"? lol
<quoted text> So the mutated gene is NOT evolution?
<quoted text> Except that part that "A mutation can appear in one individual"....
How come this is so hard for you to grasp?
Evolution is "allelic frequency change in gene pools."
Individuals are not gene pools. Their genomes don't alter during their lifetime, except to wear down and fail.
This is what happens when religion gets in the way of your basic understanding of biology - basic education, really.

Speaking of fortune, Chris Brown's has been remarkably good in the past few years. Commercially, at least, he seems to have rebounded from his 2009 assault on Rihanna, his girlfriend at the time. He even won his first Grammy earlier this year for 2011's "F.A.M.E."
More astounding than turning his career around, though, is how he maintains his popularity with such bland music. "Fortune" is full of some of the most boilerplate R&B and urban pop to have been released this year. Strip away the million-dollar beats and the star cameos (including rappers Nas and Wiz Khalifa) and the album, his fifth in seven years, rings jarringly hollow.
