I never feel as grown up as when I'm embarking on a solo road trip.
"What?" you're saying. "She's almost sixty-seven years old. How could she feel anything but adult?"
But look at it this way: For the first twenty-one years of my life, I lived with my parents. In January 1969, I moved from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Fremont, Ohio, where I took possession of my first apartment, first job, and first cat. I was engaged then, but didn't expect to be married for a year or two. Well, circumstances changed. I ended up leaving Fremont in late February and moving back into my parents' home until Scott and I were married at the end of March.
So out of almost sixty-seven years—can you believe it?—I have lived on my own for only two months. All the rest of that time, I've been somebody's daughter or somebody's wife. A lot of my decisions have been made for me by others, and the ones I made were skewed toward the needs of others. I haven't been in control.
But in my car, out on the interstate, it's different. I can stop when I choose, stay where I choose, and buy what I choose. If an emergency happens, it's up to me to fix it. And I'm confident that I can.
I'm leaving tomorrow evening for a quick visit to Green Bay. I'm going simply because I want to, and that in itself is a departure. I'm not going for a wedding or a funeral, a class or family reunion, a theatrical performance, or even a football game. I'll attend the Packers' Family Night practice, but that's not the main reason I'm going. I just want to connect with some old friends and meet some Facebook buddies in person.
I'm hoping this trip will facilitate a shift in my life. I haven't done much writing for the past year and a half. I've never really had writer's block before, but I guess that's what this is. I don't have much to say, and what I do write comes out flat. I thought I developed a distinctive voice when I wrote Incomplete Passes. I'm not hearing that voice right now. I've started a novel, but after a year and a half, my progress has stalled at 25,000 words. Some authors get that far in a weekend.
So I'm going home, back to where it all started, back to where I first learned to string words together. I'm going to get my feet on flat ground and my head on straight. I need to hear my own voice again. And I think I will hear it when I visit my familiar haunts: Lambeau Field; the rocky, windswept shore of the bay; the downtown nestled on the Fox River.
I hope to come back with a new sense of myself—and, if things work out, something wonderful for you. At least I know I'm trying, and that should help. Watch this space.

Just got engaged the first weekend in October 2008. My boyfriend suprised me by unexpectedly showing up during my trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee. He had pre-arranged it with my friends who live in Chattanooga, and came to a resturaunt that we were all eating at, and proposed in front of everyone. He worked every detail out down to booking the same return flights back to Lincoln, Nebraska where we currently live. So exciting! Now for the planning... I am from Indianapolis so the wedding will be there. Long distance wedding planning, here I come!

Free trolley program in Englewood running out of funding
ENGLEWOOD - The future of the Englewood trolley system may be in jeopardy, as funds are expected to run out within the next six months.
"This issue is, how do we develop transit systems that are self supporting?" said Adam Brown, chairman of the Englewood Economic Development Corporation (EEDC). "I think it's very wobbly to have a city transit system where it's free for everyone to use it."
The trolley system was brought up during the Jan. 24 Planning Board meeting as part of a discussion on the city's Master Plan and the future of transportation systems within the city.
Brown, who also serves on the Planning Board, said it would be beneficial to have an analysis conducted to study the financial feasibility of the trolley system.
The trolley system, a free busing service that started in 2008 and makes stops throughout the city's four wards, has been traditionally been paid for by donations from developers in the southern, industrial section of the city.
Total operating costs for the trolley are approximately $100,000 a year, while the total rider contribution is currently less than $3,000 a year, said Brown.
The EEDC, which manages payment for the trolley's part-time riders and is reimbursed by the city, sent a letter to the city administration on Jan. 16 asking if there are plans to include the trolley system within the 2013 budget.
"When the trolley program began in 2008, the city apparently envisioned that the trolley would receive sufficient capital contributions from South Englewood developers to subsidize the system going forward, although we are at a loss to understand how the city expected that a trolley system that generated little operating income could be maintained indefinitely with upfront capital contributions being the only source of income," said Brown in the letter.
As the trolley service has not been presented before the council, any comment on the subject is premature, said Mayor Frank Huttle III. The trolley service will be discussed during budget deliberations in the future, he said.
Officials also discussed the community's desire to have more commuter bus stops provided by NJ Transit throughout Englewood.
Many residents, especially those near the south side of Route 4, have requested additional bus services to areas around the city, but there's currently very little the city can do to convince NJ Transit to add new lines, said City Manager Tim Dacey. A decrease in funding has actually caused NJ Transit to look toward shutting down lines where they can, he said.
"The need is probably there and people say it would be nice, but being able to deliver is going to be very difficult if not impossible," Dacey said.
As a former commuter, Planning Board Member Toni Fay said it was important to try and interest NJ Transit in expanding transportation services in Englewood, as it would be a way of attracting young people to consider li)ving in the area.
"We have to look at it as part of our growth, attracting young families and professionals," said Fay. "I think that's all part of it."
NJ Transit has areas where they could literally break even, not even lose money, but they don't even have the funds to initiate service, said City Engineer Ken Albert. In terms of the trolley, Albert said the city should "not miss the opportunity."
"We have trolleys that will never be replaced," said Albert. "We have other funding streams and advertising we have never looked."
The planning board will be meeting again on Feb. 7 to discuss the future of the Master Plan. The third and final public workshop with city residents is expected to take place on March 4.

Doctors attempt to heal through hypnosis
Dr. Philip Shenefelt, a professor at USF College of Medicine's department of dermatology and a dermatologist at the James A. Haley Veterans' hospital, sometimes uses an unconventional method to treat ailments ranging from uncontrolled chronic pain to weakened immune systems that make it hard for warts to go away: hypnosis.
But the technique is not quite the dangling of a locket in front of someone's eyes that one may imagine.
The brain has four main states of consciousness: alert/awake, trance, dream and deep sleep, Shenefelt said. The trance state — or the state one may experience after reading a book or watching a movie and then realizing they can't recall what they just saw — can be used to help facilitate hypnosis and treat several medical conditions.
"There are misperceptions based on movies about the hypnotist controlling the person being hypnotized," Shenefelt said. "It's not a valid thing that happens with hypnosis. The term hypnosis has almost a pejorative scent to it."
As a teenager growing up in Wisconsin in the 1960s, Shenefelt said he "had a curiosity" about meditation and hypnosis, and obtained several self-help books on both topics, but it wasn't until the 1990s — a little more than two decades after graduating from medical school — that Shenefelt had the opportunity to learn the technique at a workshop held by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
Usually conducted in an exam room, each hypnosis session lasts approximately 20 minutes.
Before entering the trance state, Shenefelt said patients usually hear the following words:
"You'll experience something where you will still be aware. And you will still have control, but your conscious will not—it will be set aside—and your subconscious will be in control. You can come out of trance at any time."
Along the way, Shenefelt will help the person learn self-hypnosis.
"There's an eye roll technique that usually induces hypnosis in about a minute or less," he said. "It requires some homework on the part of the person. The person needs to be motivated to allow hypnosis to give them their full effect."
Shenefelt said he doesn't use hypnosis as the first option, and sometimes hypnosis doesn't work for all patients.
"I use conventional treatments first," he said. "If the conventional treatments don't do enough then I consider an alternative treatment such as hypnosis. There are some people that get no benefit," he said. "There are some that get tremendous benefit, and most people are in between."
If hypnotherapy has been deemed the appropriate treatment option, he said, the therapy has to be conducted over the course of multiple sessions.
"Typically you don't rewire the nervous system with one session," Shenefelt said. "It typically takes 30 to 40 times to change a habit or sensation.
Shenefelt's patients vary in terms of age and ailment.
"I see an age range in my clinic of infants to people in their 90s," he said.
As long as the patient has the ability to understand language, they have the ability to be hypnotized, he said.
Dr. Eleanor Laser, a psychologist in Chicago, also utilizes hypnosis with her patients. She met Shenefelt at an American Society of Clinical Hypnosis conference a few years ago.
Together, they now co-present hypnosis workshops at conventions.
While Laser and Shenefelt practice in different fields of medicine, both experience cases that coincide.
Twenty years ago, Laser used hypnosis to help a patient break his smoking habit. Last year, she received a call from the same patient. He was experiencing a debilitating, prickly sensation in his feet; it was so bad, he couldn't work. In an attempt to relieve the pain, he stood for hours in a bathtub filled with cold water and ice.
"He went to multiple doctors, here in Chicago," Laser said. "But no one could help him."
He then met laser and mentally took her back to a recent vacation to the Dominican Republic. His mind took him to a specific restaurant, and he saw the menu.
"I asked him to point to the item he ordered on the menu," she said. "He ate the grouper."
Grouper, she said, swim near a red coral reef that emits toxic poison that the fish absorbs.
"You can't cook it away."
She diagnosed him with ciguatera, a foodborne illness. Laser called Shenefelt to tell him about the case.
He didn't believe her at first, she said.
Since she knew the problem, she was able to successfully use hypnosis to relieve the man of his symptoms.
Laser used a form of hypnosis called memory regression.
The purpose is to help the patient realize when the symptoms first manifested, and locate the origin on their body.
"Take us back to where it originally started," she tells her patients.
By finding the memory, she said she has the ability to "neutralize the memory and eliminate the symptoms."
Both doctors co-authored and published a case study about the ciguatera diagnosis, and the successful hypnosis treatment.
It will be presented this March in San Diego at the national American Society of Clinical Hypnosis conference.

Iowa's roadways play host to travelers, agricultural equipment, and cars simply on a commute. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Iowa are asking all of those drivers directly, to make sure they're driving as safely as possible.
"We need to encourage people to pay attention when they're driving, to not be using a cell phone or texting or anything like that, and just to be focused on the responsibility of driving, wear their seatbelts, and be cautious out there," Gov. Branstad said.
The Zero Fatalities program focuses on five components of safe driving: slowing down, driving sober, focusing on the road, staying alert, and buckling up.
Trooper Nick Albrecht with the Iowa State Patrol says he and the rest of Iowa's officers are enforcing those practices as best as they can already, but having the help of Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds certainly helps send the message.
"It's great to have the backing of the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor in focusing on reducing the fatalities on Iowa's roadways," Trooper Albrecht said.
Especially, Trooper Albrecht says, as the long holiday weekend approaches. He says it's important to make good decisions to protect your life, and the lives of others.
"We hope this makes them a little more aware that they need to stay focused out here and drive safe, especially during these holiday weekends that we have coming up, and just paying attention to the road and what they're doing," Trooper Albrecht said.
An issue Governor Branstad says he's focusing on, simply because the potential for loss on Iowa's roads is too great, to take the issue of safe driving lightly.
"Nobody wants to lose their family member to a traffic fatality," Gov. Branstad said.

15 posts tagged "Jessica Chastain"
Jessica Chastain Puckers Up-------
Since taking Hollywood by storm last year with starring roles in movies like The Tree of Life, The Debt, and The Help, Jessica Chastain has skyrocketed to the top of the list of actors directors want to work with (and designers want to dress). She's showing no sign of slowing down, either. The newly named YSL fragrance face has already garnered rave reviews for this year's Lawless, and even more praise for her work on Broadway in The Heiress. Next up for the flame-haired starlet is Zero Dark Thirty, a rumored Oscar contender, which hits theaters this month. Chastain began the film's press tour today with a photo call in New York, for which she successfully mixed a multitude of fuchsia shades with those ginger strands—no small feat. Sporting a floral-print sleeveless dress, Chastain wore a matte dark rose lip complemented by a slight apricot flush and an extra-fine line of liquid black liner drawn close to her upper lash line. It was perfection as usual, don't you think?
Stage Gem-------
There are a lot of reasons to like Jessica Chastain. First and foremost there are her serious acting chops, which have already earned her an Oscar nod and many a role alongside such bold-faced names as Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, and Sean Penn. Then, of course, there's her sparkling personality: Chastain is smart—and incredibly easy to talk to, which is always a bonus if and when you should find yourself on the party reporting circuit. But we're mostly drawn to her impressive eye for beauty; the upcoming star of Nick Benson's The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His has that whole classic Hollywood glamour thing down. It's rare to find her making a misstep on the red carpet, and last night's The Heiress opening on Broadway was no exception, as the YSL fragrance face turned up with a Veronica Lake-caliber side-sweep, perfectly painted red lips, a precise black cat-eye and lots of lashes. This, ladies, is how keeping it classy is done. Thoughts on Chastain's latest hair and makeup clinic?
Gwyneth Gets A Makeup Contract; Birchbox Goes Global; And More…-------
First came the Boss Nuit Pour Femme campaign, and now comes news that Gwyneth Paltrow will (finally) be getting a makeup contract all her own. Mrs. Chris Martin has just been named the latest face of Max Factor. The historic line, which was taken off shelves in the U.S. three years ago, is still very dominant worldwide. Paltrow will star in a Pat McGrath-curated campaign that features different looks that tell the story of her different roles: mother, wife, actress, singer, and of course GOOP creator. [WWD]
Birchbox, the beauty sampling service upon which all other sampling services have been built, is going global. The company acquired the Paris-based JolieBox to extend its reach across the pond. [WWD]
It looks like Jessica Hart will follow in Miranda Kerr's footsteps. The Aussie model has revealed plans to launch her own naturally minded skincare and makeup range down under. [Grazia]
The latest bit of publicity for Jessica Chastain's starring role as the face of YSL's forthcoming Manifesto fragrance has hit the Web. The new video vignette features Chastain in a Nicolas Winding Refn-directed short that involves purple paint, a silent auction, and a lot of intrigue. [Fashion Etc.]
Rebel Belles: Outlaw Beauty On The Big Screen-------
Jessica Chastain, indie movie darling and newly named face of YSL's Manifesto fragrance, is a burlesque dancer-turned-femmefatale in John Hillcoat's Lawless. While it's the men—Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, and Jason Clark specifically—that are pictured flouting order, disobeying authority, and courting trouble (hence the title) in this newfangled western, the film made us think about the bevy of babes that have been enshrined in Tinseltown's hall of fame for playing good girls gone bad—and in some cases, bad girls who never gave a damn about being good in the first place. As the film hits theaters this week, we rounded up our favorite female radicals, vigilantes, outlaws, subversives, and provocateurs. The fairer sex? Hardly.
Jessica Goes Short; Chanel: The Nail Salon; And More…-------
Jessica Chastain has made the cut. The Help star and recently named YSL fragrance face has lopped off her fiery red, shoulder-length locks into a mod-era bob for her role in the sixties flick, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Chanel Beauty's much-discussed London pop-up shop opened yesterday in Covent Garden. Among its many makes-you-wish-you-were-in-the-U.K. features is a downstairs nail salon where you can get manicures with a host of the brand's coveted polishes—as well as consultations with local nail-artist icons, like Sophy Robson and Marian Newman. [WWD]
Coty CEO Bernd Beetz has announced plans to retire at the end of the month after leading the brand that put celebrity fragrances on the map for over a decade. As Beetz was responsible for wrangling superstars Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, and David Beckham and luring them over to the business of beauty, it's safe to assume that he's going to have one hell of a good-bye party. [WSJ]
First came the crackle top coats, magnetic lacquers, and DIY appliqués, now comes news of yet another nail innovation: the color-changing varnish. The brand Ruby Wing has debuted a collection of polishes that change color in the sun. What will they think of next? [Fashionista]

M.I.A Headline Sydney Show Announced
Written by Brayden Darke on 25th November, 2012
Notorious English hip hop star M.I.A has announced a one off headline Sydney show while she is out here performing on the back of the Summadayze / Summafieldayze festivals early next year. She'll playing this one and only sideshow on Friday the 4th of January.
Her latest single Bad Girls, which was produced by Danja (who's worked with the likes of Timbaland, Diddy, Madonna, Nelly Furtado and Pink) has already enjoyed some success here in Australia. Her new album Matangi is also expected to drop this summer, making us possibly one of the first countries to have the chance to celebrate it's release while we jump around and party to her new tunes live for the first time.
Since exploding on to the scene through 2005-2006 with her first full-length release, Kala, she's become a household musical name, and also receiving the honour of being named as one of the ten defining artists of the 2000's decade by Rolling Stone and one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time Magazine.
She's also notched up two Grammy Awards (for tracks Paper Planes and Swagga Like Us), and been nominated for an Academy Award (for her song O…Saya from the soundtrack to the Hollywood blockbuster, Slumdog Millionaire). Not bad.
Don't miss your chance to see her live when she hits our shores early next year.

Britney Spears announces Las Vegas residency
NEW YORK (AP) - After months of rumors and hint-dropping, pop icon Britney Spears revealed what she called her "(not-so-)secret" news- she's heading to Las Vegas.
The 31-year-old pop star confirmed a two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. "Britney: Piece of Me" will debut Dec. 27, just in time for Las Vegas' massive New Year's crowds. Spears announced 16 dates, but she will perform 50 shows each in 2014 and 2015.
Spears was flown to a dry lake bed in the Nevada desert for the pre-dawn announcement. About 1,300 people had been bused to the remote location in the wee hours of the morning, and were waiting for her dressed in Britney Spears T-shirts or the singer's signature schoolgirl look from her "... Baby One More Time" music video.
The Grammy-winning singer's confirmation about the residency comes after much online speculation, including some of her own Vegas-themed tweets. She said in an interview on "GMA" that the show will feature her greatest hits as well as new material.
"I'm definitely ready," she said in a taped interview, adding that she's training five hours each day.
Spears' helicopter hovered in the desert above her fans, who were holding giant cards that formed a 10-story-tall picture of her. The singer stepped off the aircraft and said she was feeling sick. After a second- and live- interview with "GMA," she headed back to the helicopter, barely smiling and offering little more than a wave.
A tweet about the experience later showed up on her Twitter profile.
"Y'all that will be the last time u EVER see me in a helicopter. Love u (at)GMA & that was INCREDIBLE but helicopters are not for this girl :(," it read.
Tickets for "Britney: Piece of Me" go on sale Sept. 20. Prices range from $59 to $179.
The show will take place in an "intimately-sized" theater with nightclub touches, including table and bottle service.
Spears, who debuted on the music scene in 1999, has released seven platinum-plus albums. She has more than a dozen Top 10 hits, including "Toxic," "Gimme More" and "Oops!... I Did It Again."
She released a new song, "Work (Expletive)," this week. It's from her untitled eighth album, due out Dec. 3, which will include songs about her ex-fiance Jason Trawick.
"They suck," she said. "Breakups suck."

The 5th European River Restoration Conference was from 11-13 September 2013 in Vienna, Austria. Wetlands International and our partners in European river restoration showcased inspiring examples of river restoration and brought together key policy makers and restoration practitioners to share and learn about the successes, challenges and opportunities for river restoration in Europe.
The Parana Delta wetlands in Argentina are under pressure from the extraction of natural resources, infrastructure development, large-scale livestock farming and agriculture. This is threatening the wetlands ecosystem and traditional livelihoods that rely on island cattle-raising, bee-keeping and artisanal fishing. To overcome these challenges, we are working with strategic partners to develop sustainable solutions that rely on a scientific knowledge base and best management practices.
The rarely visited country of Brunei Darussalam is a green gem on the rapidly deforesting island of Borneo. Much of Brunei is still covered in peat swamp or mangrove forest, which is in stark contrast to the situation in other countries within the region. These forests are rich with species of plants and animals, but face threats due to development, peat drainage and fires.
The Niger Delta in Nigeria is the largest wetland in Africa and the third largest mangrove forest in the world. The region is known for its richness in biodiversity as well as its oil and gas resources. Wetland ecosystems play a critical role in supporting the livelihoods of millions of people in the delta. At the same time they are being degraded by unsustainable practices and a legacy of pollution and oil spills. In the delta we are bringing new perspectives to the fields of biodiversity conversation and sustainable development, putting the conservation and restoration of wetlands at the centre of achieving both livelihood and biodiversity improvements.
While this work happens under our partnership with Shell, we are not directly involved in the cleanup of oil pollution, but include the oil industry as an important stakeholder for our new ways of planning development, and improving the condition of wetlands and water resources to benefit both biodiversity and human well-being.
The Ramsar Conference (6 - 13 July 2012 in Bucharest, Romania) offered an opportunity to strengthen and extend the reach of the Convention to achieve improved wetland conservation and management. We attended the conference with a team of experts from our global network and engaged Contracting Parties and partners to achieve these objectives.

SUNRISE, Fla. (WSVN) -- A man has been rushed to the hospital after he was struck by lightning in Sunrise, Friday afternoon.
The man's family said he was at a Fourth of July barbecue when a lightning bolt struck him. Relatives said he fell and rolled into a canal.
Friends and family have identified the man as Michael Hindle. His brother-in-law, Robert Santiago, said he was grilling with Hindle under a tree the moment he was struck. "He was standing here and the lightning just [hit] him, 'Pow!'" said Santiago. "You see all the sparks, the [electricity] coming through him, and he fell straight back, and he slipped into the water."
Santiago said he went to pull his brother-in-law out of the canal when he was knocked off his feet. "He started breathing a little more and trying to talk. He was mumbling, and he couldn't feel his legs," said Santiago.
Paramedics transported Hindle to Broward Health Medical Center, shortly after 3:30 p.m. He remains at the hospital in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

SMITH COUNTY, TX (KLTV) - Firefighters worked for hours to put out an early morning fire that destroyed a Smith County home.
The fire broke shortly after 2:00 am, Friday, in the 10,000 block of Country Hills Boulevard, just off of Highway 271 in Smith County
Dondra Haynes says it took her family 10 years to make this house their home, but as soon as she saw the flames, she knew everyone had to move out fast.
"My husband jumped on top of the house with the water hose trying to keep it from coming towards the house but as you can see it's taken everything that we have," said Dondra Haynes, lost everything in fire.
Firefighters from four fire departments made it to the scene, but despite the hard work everything was lost.
"It's just so hard right now we're struggling and now our house burns down and it has everything in there all my kids clothes every memory of our children that we had and now we have nothing," said Haynes.
Now the Haynes' home is just a pile of rubble.
"What was in there was stuff we worked for and my husband my uncle... and everything in there we accumulated and worked for is just gone," said Haynes.
The family says they thank God no one was hurt in the fire, but now thoughts about where they will go are weighing them down.
"It's not like we have any kind of income we're on a fixed income we barely make it with my uncle's check in paying the rent and it's just bad because we don't have anything," said Haynes.
Investigators say the fire started from previous burn pile the family had going during the day. They thought it was out, but for whatever reason it rekindled and caught the storage shed on fire which in turn caught the house on fire.
The Smith County Fire Marshal's office says there were four adults and six children living in the house at the time, but they all got out safely.

I love darker Pilsners, but this thing is almost black. It has a nice head that is creamy and thick. The aroma of dark malts is well blended with a touch of hops. The taste is very sweet and sugary(it reminds me of Newcastle for some reason) and the roasted malty goodness is perfectly balanced with the hops. A perfect beer in my opinion. I could drink a lot of these! :)

An upfront admission -- I would have liked this to be a bit darker. So why the perfect 5? Well, that's a fairly minor flaw for an otherwise flawless beer. This has vaulted into my "desert island" beer list, a brew which I hope to never be without.
Sugary chocolate-vanilla and whiffs of nutty, dry bread mingle with a mild herbal hoppiness for an open invitation to take the first sip. Surprisingly milky in texture, the body remains light. Woody, chocolate malts provide a very robust, sweet malt flavor that's bordering, at times, on having the essence of dried cherries in the background and that's balanced *perfectly* by just the right amount of hops. For all its interesting malt flavors, this remains a refreshing beverage with a clean finish. Absolutely one of the most drinkable beers on the planet.

Is there really anything wrong with this beer? I don't know. Some people claim it's thin, some claim it's watery. Some people are silly. This beer is one of the best examples of the balance and refinement present in German brewing.
It pours a deep, deep ruby. In the broad part of the glass it's black in narrower parts it's reddish brown. The head is a tan sticky beauty.
Nose is of soft, clean malts, a nice chocolate roastiness and a fair smattering of noble hops. It smells so good, yet so refined. This is not a big beer, not at all, but it's still so deep.
It's dry, but somehow still has a malty sweetness rounded out with a refreshing bitterness coming from the roast and the perfect level of hopping. Finish is smoth and clean with a subtle lingering bitterness. It's so nice. Round and smooth, but still dry and refreshing. There's a faint, metalic tang of the water in here as well. That's right you can taste the water. What's wrong with that?
Ridiculously drinkable. Dangerously drinkable. A session beer and then some.
Soft and subtle yet flavorful and deep. Perfect. What craftsmanship.

I happened to notice the average score for this beer and I can't begin to comprehend it. This is a gem.
Brown with garnet/orange highlights, the aromas suggest open-tank molasses, sour black dough, toasted walnuts and charred, blackened bananas.
The texture is pure, creamy and mouth-coating with tangy fruits of raspberries, sap and dried puddles of Kahlua. Pregnant with flavor, it is ultimately a clean, pretty lager that happens to be dark and intensely, naturally flavored. There is a sensible, Jane Austin-perfectness to the ready beauty of this beer.
I don't think I'll ever drink a better dark, dry lager.

Pours a deep, deep brown (not black, in spite of the name). Decent, but not overwhelming eggshell colored head, which disappears fairly fast, leaving the faintest trace of lace along the edge of the glass. While the beer isn't black, it is crystal clear.
The first smell that hits me is the faint acrid odor of black malt. Some spicy hoppiness in the aroma as well, but more roasty malt than anything else. The smell matches what your eyes tell you it should smell like. Some toffee, some coffee, a little bittersweet chocolate, perhaps even a trace amount of licorice are hiding in the aroma as well, but it always comes back to that dark grain smell.
Taste is markedly bitter, right up front. I honestly can't tell if I'm tasting hop bitterness, or the sharper bitterness of the dark malts. Either way, this one is assertively, yet cleanly bitter. Coffee that was in the aroma comes up front in the taste, but it's a very clean coffee, not oily or burnt at all. Close on its heels it the chocolate taste. Not a Hershey bar, sickly sweet chocolate, mind you. More a baker's chocolate, dry and unapologetic. The toffee is here as well, but without butter, as I don't detect even the slightest trace of diacetyl in this beer at all. None of those flavors hang around a long time, as they fade into a very pronounced, yet pleasant hop bitterness which lingers into the aftertaste. The coffee flavor remains in the aftertaste as well, reminiscent of having had a good cup maybe 10 minutes ago -- barely perceptible, but still there. Remarkably balanced, with none of the trace flavors, nor the hops ever gaining dominance over any others. And almost unbelievably clean tasting. Nothing jumps out at you with a "what the hell was that?" assault on the taste buds, yet there's more than enough character here so you're not wondering if you actually drank anything. This may be the easiest drinking beer I've ever had.
Mouthfeel is pure German lager -- light without being watery, carbonated without being prickly, lasting without being oily. Very, very good.
I never thought I could give a "5" for mouthfeel. After all, what is the "perfect" mouthfeel? This one deserves it, though.
An eminently drinkable beer. This is by no means a "one and done" brew, but one a person could savor all night. There's plenty here to keep your interest well into the evening, yet nothing that stands out so as to begin to wear on the drinker. Truly outstanding.

4/9 tasting. .5L swing-top poured into tall glass beer krug
A-pours dark brown, nearly black, but not inky, more watery color, huge brown foamy head, sticky and light, with fantastic lacing all the way down
S-bursting with roast coffee malt, smoky meat, brown sugar and toffee
T-incredible flavor, a balanced maltiness and some dank hop bitterness, a little tangy, molasses
M-light carbonation for a lager, but above avg mouthfeel
D-extremely drinkable all-nighter, would pair well with any meat
One of my Top 10 all-time favorite beers

The beer was enjoyed at the brewery in Kulmbach the best black beer in the world IMO!
Rich dark brown head that lasted throughout the half liter glass as the maltiness was very present and roasty.
It was very refreshing and went well with the Nurnberger sausages if you're in Bavaria also a must to eat with spicy mustard. Mouthfeel smooth and silky which leads to it being highly drinkable as well as a low ABV.

Clear walnut with some deep garnet. Very large, very fine slightly sticky light brown head settles slowly to a complete rocky cap leaving nice lacing.
Touch of toffee leads over dark, slightly husky chocolate. Just a touch of roastiness as well. There's a solid malty goodness lurking below to support it all. Complex, interesting, and well-balanced.
Heavy side of medium in the mouth with excellent rich malt of the bready sort. Roast and chocolate notes are there, as well as a touch of dried cherry fruitiness. Complexity, interest and balance again.
Excellent soft, filling mouthfeel - seems to get into every crack and crevice of the mouth. Great length with a touch of spicy bitterness at the death that simply begs you to take another sip.
Drinkable? This is one of the magic brews that simply disappears from the glass leaving only a lingering smile. Genius beer. Easily abused, and nowhere near the same experience when it is. Please buy from a reputable retailer.

This is a very nice schwarzbier, flavourful and highly drinkable.
Very deep red-brown, almost black but not, it has a medium, creamy tan head slowly shrinking to a thin, foamy top and leaving some lace.
The aroma is brown bread, whole wheat toast, burnt sugar, hints of coffee & fermented prune. Overall, it's very nice, pleasant and aromatic.
The taste is lightly sweet but mostly rather dry (sweeter than, say, Kostritzer), with firast sweet caramleised, fermented prunes and dark whole wheat toast then joined with rootbeer (anise, etc.), singed leaves, bark, and finishing dryish and slightly bitter. It's light in feel but silky smooth and not thin or watery.

Had this beer on tap at the Moan and Dove. Served in a pint glass at a cool but not cold temperature.
A-beige head which was nice and thick with a very dark garnet body.
S-roasted grain and fresh baked bread smell
T-nice and sweet but balanced with the up front toast and roasted grain flavor.
D-So incredibly tasty. Great beer for the malt heads. I would drink this beer again.

Mönchshof Schwarzbier pours Schwarz (Black) from a 1PT .9FL OZ blackish brown glass porcelain (on closer inspection... white plastic swing top stopper) glass bottle. Light tan head of fine foam bubbles went to well over two fingers in height before collapsing to a well defined ring with large islands of foam and lace all along the side of my 48oz beer stein.
Nose is a major malt event with wave after wave of malty sweetness washing over the olfactory organ.
Palate is sweet barely malt with some burnt elements followed by the dry bittering of hops.
This brew starts sweet, then migrates to a well bittered brew with a drying finish. Not a porter and not a stout, but not too far from either. In retrospect I believe that some of the dry stout offerings are in fact more of a Schwarzbier than a stout.
This is an incredible offering from Kulmbacher Brauerei and in my humble opinion, a must try!

On tap at Bavarian Lodge in Lisle... Served in a Mönchsof mug (0.3L, I think), Beautiful dark molassas colored beer. Help up to the light, it reminded me of root beer. Just enough head for full coverage with little to no lacing. I loved the smell of this beer! Light and sweet roasty malt and a nice nuttiness that reminded me of hazelnuts... I love the taste even more! Perhaps it was complimented by the delicious roast duck tenders that arrived at the same time, but this just seemed almost too refreshing for a beer with it's dark color. Maltiness up front, mixing with the hazelnut mid palatte, finishing clean with noble hops... My mouth was very happy with me for choosing this beer. Smooth and refreshing; velvety and clean at once... I would love to have this beer again and again... Next time I think I'll get a liter!

text: Sirotkin continues push for Formula 1 Super License 25 March, 2014 Sergey Sirotkin Russian teenager Sergey Sirotkin will set his Formula 1 ambitions back on track once he obtains a Super License. Amid Sauber's financial crisis of 2013, the Swiss team appeared to be rushing the teen to the grid as the jewel in a Russian rescue deal. But when the 2014 season began without Sirotkin, Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn told the Russian website Formula 1news.ru that "Everything is going according to plan". "He has a (Formula Renault 3.5) seat with Fortec, I am sure he can get great results, and then we'll think about the next step," she added. The next step could be an appearance on Friday morning in Sochi later this year, as Sirotkin's native Russia hosts its inaugural grand prix, in October. "We will certainly examine this possibility," Kaltenborn said. "But for this, first of all he needs a Super License. That's what we're working on now – thinking about how we can make this possible." According to 18-year-old Sirotkin, he will work on qualifying for the mandatory FIA credential at one of the post season tests, in Bahrain, Barcelona or Silverstone. "In the coming months there will be the official Formula 1 tests and that's where we plan to get it," he told the Russian broadsheet Izvestia. "I will need to drive about 300 kilometres and be competitive. When we have [the Super License] in our hands, then we will talk about the Fridays," Sirotkin added. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

In a career that spanned six decades, the prolific author Margaret Culkin Banning (1891 – 1982) published several hundred short stories and more than forty books. An early feminist, Banning tackled controversial subjects ranging from birth control to interfaith marriage to career women out-earning their husbands.
This daughter of newspaperman-turned-politician William Edgar Culkin and his wife, the former Hannah Alice Young, was born on March 18, 1891 in Buffalo, Minnesota. While raised in Minnesota, Margaret Frances Culkin traveled east to attend the Sacred Heart Academy in Rochester, New York for one year. She graduated from Vassar College in 1912 and was awarded a research fellowship by the Russell Sage Foundation which she applied to her post-graduate studies at the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. Upon completion of her education in 1914, she married Archibald Banning Jr., a lawyer from Duluth.
In the early years of her marriage and now known as Margaret Culkin Banning, she became active in political and social causes, such as the Junior League and the League of Women Voters. Banning also served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention. She also began to write short stories and eventually turned her attention to full-length fiction, publishing her first novel, The Marrying (Harper) in 1920. The book, which centered on a woman seeking a career to the consternation of her middle-class family, earned respectful reviews and her literary career began in earnest. For the next six decades, Banning turned out more than three dozen additional volumes of fiction and nonfiction as well as more than four hundred short stories and essays that were published in popular magazines such as McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post, and The Atlantic Monthly .
Although a devout Roman Catholic, Banning divorced her husband in 1934. She was a single mother to her daughter Mary and son Archibald III, and supported them via her writing. In 1936, she produced a practical guide for young women, Letters to Susan (Harper), a collection of essays in letter form in which she expounded on topics ranging from the consumption of alcohol to premarital sexual relations. The following year, her essay "The Case for Chastity" was one of the most popular published in Reader's Digest .
A popular public speaker, Banning married her second husband, LeRoy Salsich, a mining company executive, in 1944 and divided her time between homes in Duluth and Tryon, North Carolina. After World War II, she visited England to observe firsthand how British women were being treated and later she worked in refugee camps in Germany and Austria. While she became a fairly well-known public figure, Banning rarely granted interviews and the few she did allow focused solely on her writing and her philanthropic work. Her final completed novel, Such Interesting People (Harper & Row), was published in 1979. At the time of her death at the age of ninety on January 4, 1982, Banning was at work on a novel.

The Southern Conference has released its pre-season coaches poll and College of Charleston is the pick to win the conference behind All-American pitcher Nick Chigges. Western Carolina, Elon, and Georgia Southern round out the top four. The full poll and the pre-season conference teams are available here.
Tag Archives: College of Charleston
At-Large Bids?
Mark Etheridge of SEBaseball has an article posted by CSTV on the struggles of the mid-majors in college baseball. Most of the bids have gone to teams in the Big 5 conferences which are the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Pac 10, and C-USA. Since the year 2000, the amount of teams coming from outside of these conferences has dwindled from 42 to 34 last season. Considering that 25 of those bids are automatic bids, you can see how difficult it is to make the tournament for the mid-major schools like College of Charleston who ended up winning a regional last season. The full article is available here and can be discussed in my comment section.
Western Carolina favorites in Southern Conference?
The Western Carolina Catamounts were picked by Collegiate Baseball to win the Southern Conference in 2007. The full press release from Western Carolina is available here.
Projected Order of Finish
1. Western Carolina
2. College of Charleston
3. Elon

College of Charleston at GA Tech
College of Charleston visits the Yellow Jackets of Ga Tech in a Great Super Regional matchup this weekend. College of Charleston face a stiff Challenge from the hitting Jackets. Ga Tech is led by Super-Sophomore Matt Wieters who is from the Charleston SC area. Wieters has been hitting better since he got his contacts redone recently as evidenced in this article. Since May 1st, He is hitting .431 with 7 homeruns and 22 RBI's.
Charleston will send Nick Chigges to the mound in the opener on Friday on ESPN at Noon. Nick is 11-1 in 15 starts with a 1.32 ERA. He has struck out 94 guys in that time period. The biggest stat for him is that opponents are hitting .204 off of him. Josh McLaughlin is the closer for the Cougars and he has a 1.27 ERA with 15 saves. He has 71 strikeouts in 56.2 innings.
Georgia Tech also is led by Blake Wood who is their ace pitcher. He has a 5.01 ERA and is 10-4. David Duncan is a lanky left-handed pitcher with mediocre stuff but has a 7-2 record by a 5.50 ERA. The GA Tech rotation for the weekend is not complete as of this article so I can't tell you when they are going to pitch. Ga Tech needs to win this series with their bats and that is led besides Wieters by Jeff Kindel and Wes Hodges. Kindel is a solid outfielder with a good bat with some pop which I witnessed when GA Tech took on the Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill this season. Hodges is battling a stress fracture in his leg but still is hitting .337 with 11 HR's.
I predict an upset in this series with College of Charleston in 3 games. I just don't think Tech's batting will be able to beat this staff.

Poison Ivy Fruit An Important Spring Resource for Birds
There are a number of birds that have returned to New England from their southern wintering grounds and are working hard to find enough to sustain themselves until food is more plentiful. Eastern Bluebirds, Hermit Thrushes, Northern Mockingbirds, Eastern Phoebes and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers adapt their diets to whatever is available at this time of year, which can mean going from eating insects to consuming fruit. Fruits that persist through the winter are few and far between, but one of the plants that provides the most sustenance to birds in early spring is Poison Ivy. The off-white, berry-like fruits are extremely popular with at least 60 species of birds, including the early returning migrants previously mentioned, as well as Gray Catbirds, Yellow-shafted Flickers, Wild Turkeys, and Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied and Pileated Woodpeckers. The popularity of Poison Ivy fruit with birds explains why this plant is common along fencerows and other areas where birds roost (and pass the seeds). (Caution – irritating urushiol, an oily resin found in the sap of Poison Ivy, is present in the leaves, stems, flowers, roots and fruit of this plant.)

White Baneberry Fruits Mature
All parts of the White Baneberry plant (as well as Red Baneberry) are highly toxic. The fruit, called "doll's eyes" for obvious reasons, is the most poisonous part, known to cause respiratory paralysis and cardiac arrest in humans. It does not have this effect on all mammals, however. White-tailed deer are known to browse on baneberry, and small rodents such as mice, squirrels and voles feed on the fruit. Geometrid moth larvae ("inchworms") burrow into the fruits and their seeds while they (the fruits) are still green. A wide variety of birds, including American Robins and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, eat the fruit, helping disperse the plants when they excrete the brown, wedge-shaped seeds (insert). Ruffed Grouse also eat the fruits, but the seeds are destroyed in the digestive process. Oddly enough, Native Americans used the juice of Red Baneberry to gargle with as well as to poison their arrows.

White Baneberry
White baneberry (Actaea alba) is most conspicuous in late summer, when its white berries tipped with a black dot are evident. It is not hard to see why it is also called Doll's Eyes – the berries are said to resemble the ceramic eyes of old-fashioned china dolls. The entire plant is poisonous – just a few berries can cause dizziness and nausea in humans. However, they are eaten by ruffed grouse, yellow-bellied sapsuckers and American robins. White-footed mice and southern red-backed voles also dine on them. The leaves and flowers of its relative, red baneberry (Actaea rubra), closely resemble white baneberry, but in the fall it's easy to tell them apart by the color of their berries (see 7/10/11 blog post) , as reflected in their common names.
