Radiation and EMF whirlygigs
View Single Post
Dec14-11, 10:20 PM
Recently, someone I know has become convinced that the poor sleep I'm getting is the result of EMFs being emitted by anything near my bed that's electrical. I think this is complete ******** (Edit: look at that, the forum auto-censors). Although, if that was the end of the matter, I'd be completely fine.
Now, I've been receiving emails from said person containing product links to EMF Meters, like this
. They cost about $200. This person is a little bit past middle aged and doesn't have a mind that's completely grounded in science or rationality. As such, she's (it would probably be simpler if I just told it's a family member), particularly vulnerable to pseudo-science and carries out all the instructions, which normally involve spending money, recommended by her homeopathic doctor. (Not that I have anything against homeopathy. Some of the stuff seems to work, and I can't argue with results.) It annoys me to no end that she gets duped like this, but all my arguments have been in vain so far.
This EMF issue seems like something that, given the appropriate facts, I could actually put an end to. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area, and my research attempts have been fruitless.
I'd greatly appreciate it if any of you guys had an points I could use to disprove the hypothesis that EMFs are causing my poor sleep.

Stories told by these individuals in court are analyzed to recover memories of the slave trade, slavery, and freedom in West Africa and Bahia, as well as insights into the trans-Atlantic social worlds and cultural practices of these individuals. Further research drawing on previously gathered archival and oral data from Nigeria and Britain and new archival research in Bahia flesh out the biographies and social networks of slaves and freed people uncovered in the Lagos court records, illuminating how they sustained relationships with one another through time and across space and created a trans-Atlantic community.

Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Plain Toe Brown Work Boots:
Second time Danner Quarry owner. Bought at local work-wear store. Tried on Danner Quarry and other recommended well-made Brand X. Brand X felt solid, but stiff and clunky. The Danner, right out of the box, already felt broke-in with a perfect fit and support around my foot. A few days later I got the leather oiled up and now they're almost perfect (the padded scree collar is still a little stiff). Boots never pinched anywhere. I work maintenance on large airliners were the aircraft are stripped down to nothing but frames and skin. Excellent cushioned insoles help in the many hanger-miles walked each day on concrete. Steel shank and solid sole give support on ladders and walking narrow floor beams. Every inch of leather upper is uniform in smooth, perfect, tight-grain, flexible leather - no thin spots or odd-looking textures. Leather never bites even in hours of kneeling or other cramped positions. I work 10-12+ hour shifts and these boots are comfortable all day long. My feet usually stay warm on their own and these boots do not have any extra foam in the fore-foot and toe-box lining causing a temperature build-up and leading to overheated feet - extra foam isn't needed for protection from pinching when leather of this quality is used. These boots give the best quality, fit and comfort for a production-made boot that I've ever worn. Highly recommended.
- Durable
- Good support
- Very Comfortable
- Not US made
Best Uses
- Good for walking
- Rough service
- Work Indoor or Outdoor
Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Plain Toe Brown Work Boots:
I work as a construction electrician so I am inside and outside depending on the job. I decided to try these boots when I was working on a job that required a lot of walking 3+ miles a day and standing, all on concrete. Although these boots seemed very stiff at first I was surprised at how comfortable they were to wear all day. They quickly became my favorite boots and have lasted me more than two years. That's longer than any other boot I've had. (Note:I do use a boot drier at night) I am very happy with these boots and am looking at buying another pair.
- Most comfortable boot
- Absolutely none
Best Uses
- Work all day
Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Plain Toe Brown Work Boots:
This is by far the most comfortable boot I have ever owned. That comfort started right out of the box! No "break-in time" needed, it's that good. Amazing boot and company, thank you Danner.
- Comfortable
- Look good
- Shine up nicely
- Not made in the USA
Best Uses
- Work leisure
Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Plain Toe Brown Work Boots:
I am a paramedic, and I bought these for work. These boots were a great fit and easy to wear right out of the box. I wear these for up to 16 hours at a time, traveling sometimes several miles on foot. Great in all conditions, ice, snow, mud, dry pavement. I receive comments all the time about how nice my boots look.
- Quality Vibram sole
- Wide comfortable platform
- Equipped laces are poor
Best Uses
- Casual
- Work
Comments about Danner Quarry 6" Plain Toe Brown Work Boots:
Overall I find these boots to be acceptable. It's important to note that my rating of 3 stars is by comparison of this boot against other danner boots, not by comparison to other brands. As far as Danner boots go I find it to be average. I didn't care for the original laces. I wear these to work on concrete floors for 8 hrs a day. I weigh 270 lbs. After replacing the insole with a more supportive insole, I find these to be comfortable. It took a good week to get them fully broken in. The picture of the outsole made me skeptical to purchase them, but in person, it's much better than the images lead on. I don't find it getting horribly cluttered and haven't had any traction or slip issues. I wear these for something cheaper to smack around and abuse all day at work without concern. They're acceptable and for my application I have no complaints. I've had them a month and a half and they're barely noticeably worn.

Loving atmosphere, great food, great service! Always our first choice for Chinese in Newnan.
The lunch menu is a bargain. Delivery service available.
Arrived just as they open and we basically had place to ourselves. Didn't care for the "noodles" they give when you are seated. Won Ton soup was the best I ever had. Main meal was awesome. Will return
This is some of the best Chinese food I have found in Georgia. It is hard to get in and out of the parking lot at times, but it is worth it. There take-out food is just as outstanding as dinning in.
We usually love Chin Chin restaurants and have eaten at several. This location won't have our business again. They sat us and gave our daughter a kids menu.

Robinson set for Bristol move
ESPN Staff
February 15, 2013
Andy Robinson resigned as Scotland head coach in the autumn © Getty Images
Andy Robinson is set to be appointed as Championship club Bristol's new director of rugby.
The former England and Scotland coach will be unveiled at a press conference in Clifton on Monday, Press Association Sport reports. The 48-year-old quit his role with Scotland after a dismal autumn series earlier this season when Robinson's team lost to New Zealand, South Africa and Tonga.
Robinson resigned following the 21-15 Tonga defeat in Aberdeen. He had been under contract until the 2015 World Cup. The former Bath boss was appointed Scotland chief in 2009, taking them to the World Cup two years later, but they suffered a pool stage exit for the first time.
He headed up the England coaching staff between 2004 and 2006 after succeeding World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward. Robinson had been part of Woodward's 2003 World Cup coaching staff in Australia, and he also won eight England caps as a player.
Bristol are currently battling to secure a place in the Championship play-offs, although Newcastle remain firm favourites to secure the one promotion place available into next season's Aviva Premiership. Robinson is expected to begin work at Bristol before the end of this season, with current head coach Liam Middleton remaining in that role.
The west country club have already announced four new signings for next term - Peter Buxton, Mark Sorenson, Andy Short and Errie Claassens - and they could also move to Ashton Gate in a ground-share with Bristol City Football Club.
There is the added possibility of a new stadium being built at Ashton Vale in the city, which would be used by Bristol.

Jasmine Sandler | February 6, 2013 | Comments
Companies need to have a solid mobile adoption plan that meets the needs of both internal and external customers.
As anyone with a smartphone or tablet, or most likely smartphone and tablet, knows, mobile is where it's at - for searching the web, using productivity, social, and entertainment apps, and even shopping on websites. In fact, according to a 2012 survey by IBM, m-commerce is up 24 percent and searching from mobile is up 13.2 percent from 2011. So how can brand marketers take advantage of the sweeping global adoption of mobile in the workplace? Let's address both inside the organization and in the world of online marketing.
In the workplace, the BYOD (bring your own device) trend is forcing significant change in both IT management and policies as well as in the way content use is controlled within the organization. Companies need to rethink how sales and marketing materials will be developed to meet the needs of their mobile employees. Further, shared technologies such as printers, closed networks, and business productivity software must be interoperable to a multitude of devices and iOS. For companies that truly want to get in the mobile game in serving their employees, the opportunity to provide a company-branded productivity mobile app are certainly there. A company mobile app can be a great way to fast-track the use of company tools to drive efficiencies.
For consumer brands, the use of mobile for marketing today is crucial. There are mobile marketing opportunities via SMS, QR code technology, in-app advertising, and in social. Although smartphone and tablet sales and adoption worldwide doubles each year, SMS text messaging still, at least today, leads mobile marketing for consumer marketing. This is because SMS can be done in real time on events and is a short-code way to drive quick user action. Further, functional phones such as Nokia currently still hold first place on a global level for active use.
Any consumer-brand company should look to SMS opportunities as a part of their annual calendar of events and product campaigns/promotions. Targeted SMS campaigns can quickly get the campaign message into the hands of a target audience for immediate action. SMS campaigns coupled with a drive to social enable the campaign to go viral.
Integrating social and mobile is hugely important. The use of QR code technology, if used correctly (where users can see it and take action on an appropriate campaign), can drive direct social conversion from the device. Other opportunities to enable social engagement from mobile relate to mobile apps.
In-app advertising is one of the main revenue drives for new game publishers. This gives opportunities to B2C brands to get into mobile in an inexpensive way. Over 45 billion apps across the board were downloaded in 2012, according to IDG. When in-app ads in a targeted, popular marketplace are driven to direct "Like Us to Win"-type campaigns in social, big results happen. In-app ads can also be used to drive market research for new products and viral shares of contests. Just look at popular social and content-sharing apps like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and Pandora, for example, which have targeted in-app advertising opportunities to reach and engage mobile users quickly and drive directly to social or on-site conversions.
For professional services companies, mobile technology is especially useful for delivering productivity and convenience of services. Just take a look at communication tools such as Intercall's MobileMeet, which allows its customers of global web conferencing services to get connected to conference calls directly with no need to dial in; Bank of America's mobile app for business customers, which enables direct deposit by phone scan; business direct customer service; and much more. There are millions of examples of mobile apps for business that deliver value to the end customer. These successful apps give the company an immediate benefit in customer retention and indirectly in new acquisition by the viral/word-of-mouth factor.
Should you develop your own mobile app? This is a question being asked by millions of businesses, both enterprise and small-to-medium-size business (SMB). You must understand the customer demand, the current competitive market for the related app, and the direct benefits to the organization. If you find via an assessment of your analytics that the majority of your web audience is searching for and traversing your site via mobile, that is one good reason. If your services or products require ongoing connectivity such as software as a service (SaaS), a social/community component, access to specific data, or real-time connectivity to a stream, then you may indeed require mobile app development. To take it a step further, you should analyze how your current content or service is being consumed , compared to that of market demand. By taking the time to analyze the demand for your content on-the-go and how it will equate into real value to the end user, you have a higher chance of success in the world of mobile app development for business. At the very least, your website should be developed for responsive design so that it can be viewed easily for user conversion on a mobile device.
Mobile is on the rise and not stopping anytime soon. In 2012, it was reported that the use of mobile for Internet access outpaced access from the desktop or laptop. This is only increasing. There is global customer demand for content delivery on mobile and no country is excluded. Just like industries have to be on board with social media in the right way to engage customers, so now do they need to have a solid mobile adoption plan that meets the needs of both internal and external customers.

Compensating the Dead? Yes we can!
AbstractAn early death is, undoubtedly, a serious disadvantage. However, the compensation of short-lived individuals has remained so far largely unexplored, probably because it appears infeasible. Indeed, short-lived agents can hardly be identified ex ante, and cannot be compensated ex post. We argue that, despite the above difficulties, compensation can be carried out by encouraging early consumption in the life cycle. In a model with heterogeneous preferences and longevities, we show how a specific social criterion can be derived from intuitive principles, and we study the corresponding optimal policy under various informational assumptions. We also study the robustness of our solution to alternative types of preferences and savings policies.

Glasgow company fined £90,000 as ICO tackles nuisance calls
The ICO has served a monetary penalty of £90,000 on DM Design, a fitted kitchen company based in Glasgow, that made thousands of unwanted marketing calls. There were nearly 2000 complaints to the ICO and the Telephone Preference Service about DM Design. The company breached the law by not checking whether individuals had opted out of receiving marketing calls, and responded to just a handful of complaints received. This is the first monetary penalty the ICO has issued for a serious breach of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) relating to live marketing calls. The ICO has informed two more companies that it is intending to impose significant penalties over breaches of the law, with a final decision likely in the coming weeks. A further ten companies are subject to ongoing investigation for cold-calling and sending spam text messages…

Oprah Dreams of O.J. Confessing to Her
It's a long-running joke that anyone looking to unburden their soul of a troubling transgression will confess to Oprah Winfrey on her television show. But the sports figure who probably has the largest outstanding sin to account for, O.J. Simpson, remains the white whale for Oprah, causing her to dream about the possibility that the Hall of Fame running back who was acquitted of murdering his wife, Nicole, and Ron Goldman will come clean about what 99.9 percent of the population assume.
Oprah, not one to be deterred, said she's going to get Simpson to give up the goods.
"And I am going to make that happen, people. I don't just want the interview. I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson."
Simpson is in prison in Nevada for armed robbery.

New Hope Alliance Church (NHAC) began in the fall of 1988 when a small group of people felt God leading them to start a church. After meeting with denominational representatives from The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), sensing their heart for Christ and the denominations desire to see the world come to Jesus, this group decided to join the C&MA and become what is now known as New Hope Alliance Church. NHAC has had two pastors during this time with Rev. Shawn Higgins pasturing from 1996 - 2005. New Hope started out with around 20 people and today God has brought it to where some 70 + people gather together for worship on Sunday morning representing three different nations. Our worship style is what is today termed blended, a bringing together of the best hymns and contemporary chorus¿¿¿ all in an effort to provide a wide opportunity for people to worship the Lord in what is comfortable to them. Our desire is to see people impacted for Christ each and every time we gather together so that everyone can say when they leave, it was good to be in the House of the Lord

Yield Gap Momentum as a Leading Indicator to Predict Turning Points in Industrial Production Growth
AbstractThe use of leading indicators to predict turning points in key ouput economic indicators is well-known. Recent work has shown that momentum indicators are an improvement on standard indicators. This paper analyses the likely performance of the momentum of the gap between long- and short-term interest rates as a leading indicator for output growth. The calculations are performed for the UK and Germany. In the UK's case the momentum is found to be a useful addition to a portfolio of leading indicators. Sensitivity analysis is also carried out to examine the stability of the leading indicator.

Concerned neighbors speak up after recent shootings in Sioux City
After a string of related shootings in Sioux City, people who live on the city's west side gathered to talk about the violence. About 100 people were at a meeting of the Neighborhood Network Thursday night. Police Chief Doug Young and other members of the department were also there to discuss community team policing. That allows officers to focus on certain districts of the city and gives neighborhoods a point-person at the police department.

A new bill introduced by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) would shine a light on corporate wrongdoing by allowing the public greater access to terms of settlements they reach with the government.
"When government agencies reach settlements with companies that break the law, they should disclose the terms of those deals to the public," Warren said.
She said federal agencies should disclose the key terms and conditions of agreements reached with corporations at the close of investigations, and she also argued that tax deductions and other credits built into the settlements should be publicly disclosed.
For example, when the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency settled its lawsuit in May against Citigroup over false claims made to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Increased transparency will shut down backroom deal-making and ensure that Congress, citizens and watchdog groups can hold regulatory agencies accountable for strong and effective enforcement that benefits the public interest," said Warren, who has pressed for more prosecutions of financial wrongdoing in court.
The Truth in Settlement Act, which was cosponsored by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), would require more accessible and detailed disclosures about agreements over $1 million to be posted on government websites.
The bill also calls on public agencies to explain why they settled confidentially and to disclose each year the total number of settlements reached, including confidential settlements.
"Taxpayers deserve to know the settlement details corporations arrange with the government, and the best place for Congress to start is with policies that enhance transparency," Coburn said.

Challenges Faced by Women at BPO Sectors
By Richa Chaturvedi:
At present, due to fast rising financial demands of middle-class families in India, several women are compelled to play the role of a perfect housewife, an ideal mother and a professionally oriented employee, all at the same time. In past few decades, India has shown tremendous development in terms of employment opportunities and, offering bright career options for women, especially teenage girls seeking part-time jobs. Today, many ladies are not only surpassing the barriers of sex but, they're also pursuing with odd jobs (including defence services, merchant navy and commercial flying) that were once restricted to the male members of the society.
However, despite of all these advancements, Indian society still follows a patriarchal approach towards working women. Even today, many people consider females to be homemakers and not working professionals. This approach is a major reason behind discrimination suffered by employed females.
In 2000, the western countries had opened up several doors for boosting Indian economy. Due to popularity of online business and the increasing trend of joining part-time jobs, especially among teenagers, several BPOs have established their roots in the market. Presently, India has emerged as a world-class back office destination. Since the jobs offered by BPOs and call centers were easier therefore, several youngsters were attracted towards this newly minted field. Based on a survey conducted in 2010, women contribute to one-third staff, currently working in the Indian BPOs. Still, they're subjected to various "ups and downs" in their professional lives and, this problem needs to be addressed.
Some common work challenges experienced by ladies working in a call center environment have been enlisted here:
- Most employers are skeptical about the ideas and communication skills of women hence, most females do not get a job that goes with their talents and experience.
- Females are subjected to constant discrimination in their offices. Often, the roles involving leadership qualities, quick decision making abilities and team management skills, are not handed over to a woman.
- Safe transportation is a major setback for girls, irrespective of small or big cities.
- Irregular availability of work, zero job security, low salaries and varying working hours are general problems experienced by girls working in metropolitan cities.
- Sexual harassment by colleagues and senior staff is a blatant issue nowadays. Numerous cases involving sex scandals, physical abuse and forced rapes are highlighted by media on regular basis. These cases are commonly encountered by the staff working in night shifts.
- The average literacy rate of Indian women is quite low in comparison to the average literacy rate of Indian men. Low-level of education hampers their growth opportunities. Further, due to lack of self confidence and fluent communication skills, most females find it difficult to express their standpoint in the corporate sector.
- Female employees are handicapped by their own family members and associates. Lack of motivation from the loved ones, hinders their progress.
Although many large-scale organizations are making appreciable attempts in resolving the above mentioned problems yet, the results obtained are not at all satisfactory. Several BPOs have introduced "pick and drop facilities" or free transportation services for women. These office cabs are operated by recognized drivers. Further, SMS services, office hotlines and pre-installed GPS as well as CCTV cameras have helped in enhancing internal security.
Government authorities have laid down special rules to ensure basic safety of females working in private sectors. Police verification of office staff, setting up of efficient complain addressing systems and performing background inspections at regular time intervals, are essential requirements of the present hour. Nevertheless, we also need strict sexual harassment laws to deal with physical abuse. Moreover, it becomes the moral responsibility of males to chuck their chauvinistic attitude aside. Fathers, husbands and brothers must take an initiative to encourage the female members of their families to progress and protest when required. Society, in general, should be cognizant of the needs of a woman.
Always remember that even women need cheerleaders and backup supports at times. Development of our nation is incomplete without the progress of the female sections and since BPO is a fast developing field, special attention must be devoted to it.

there are certain isolated cases every where in the working place. we need to demand the change of mind set of men regarding working woman.
Can anybody suggest how i can interview women who left job from IT/BPO after marriage and childbirth and now either looking for job or working as housewives? do you guys have any association or contact details of such women.
Thanks in advance!
first of all know her problem, what made her to quit the job? most of the woman are leaving job during pregnancy since they are not given adequate maternal leave/rest. they need special attention /care to facilitate family life. if you give her confidence that the family life will be given enough privileges with out damaging the liabilities of office function, the woman will voluntarily serve the organization.
Things are not that bad as you think I know many girls working as team leader and handling different leadership roles… and noone is 100% safe anywhere
Article zeroes in on a single challenge faced by women n dat s suppression by males…. s dis the only challenge dey face..???? i guess not… u talked about females joining profession like merchant navy and army. but let me tell you that there females are not given any hard physical task…leave aside HARD physical task…they r privileged not to do any physical task which requires sweating….and dis s all done by men sitting over dere.y are'nt females taking dis s as a challenge that yes they have got every capability of doin such tasks f bestowed on dem…but they never do….y s dis not considered a challenge????rahi BPO ki baat. to every BPO s nt that big enuf to provide transportation. f a female s joining a BPO den she s well aware that she will get subjected to late night schedule and also it may happen dat no transportation s provided….but she joins it thinking she s a female nd dat she s destined to get facilities and privileges on top of her fundamental rights and DUTIES…
@ Shantanu,
The basic idea behind writing this article was to summarize the problems faced by women who work at call centers. I'm strictly not talking about "male suppression" anywhere here. The point is to prepare women to face these challenges with best of their abilities and to state possible solutions which BPOs can take up in order to help them. And it works both way because even males might experience these issues. This article has been written from a female's viewpoint considering the fact that I'm a female myself and I've closely experienced what has been written here. Besides, while most men can deal with problems at workplace, most females can't handle it so they should work towards the solution.
It's true most call centers don't have transportation facilities or flexible working hours. In such cases, the female should herself find possible solutions to deal with her problem at her end. And to mention, if these amenities are offered by companies, they'll be provided to all, irrespective of gender, age or sex. Both men and women are mutually benefited. While sending you out for work, your parents are not that concerned about your security, it's because you're a male but security does concern them when they're sending out their daughters to work at night shifts. So, if the employees can extend a helping hand for contributing towards there security, what's wrong in it?
I'm not much informed about professions like air force and merchant navy however as you've mentioned, if the management is partial in the case of women and they're not offering them "Sweaty assignments" as you say, then they're at fault because they're denying them a chance to prove themselves by working on similar "rough" terms as in the case of men.
Being a women myself, I don't expect special privileges from society, I'd rather have them by fighting for them and proving myself worth it. So, it's a request that please come over this male-female agenda and think beyond it.

IIn Hung Straight Guy Jason Gives In, finally after all these years Blake Mason managed to get the totally straight Jason back and persuade him to let a guy suck on his luscious big dick!
For those of you that don't know Jason, well, he's a regular guy with a lovable personality and a fab uncut cock… but although we could all sense he might have a curious side he refused to give in… until now.
Not that Blake hasn't been trying, of course. They came real close a few years back but Jason cancelled, saying he just can't do it.
OK, fair enough… but every 6 months Blake Mason sent him a text asking if he would change his mind and give it a go. In June this year he said yes!
Who can Blake Mason get to show this straight fella what a man's mouth can do to his dick? It had to be someone who could swallow all of Jason's mighty dick! Tony! You are the hero of the day, and I never knew you loved the taste of straight-man spunk so much.
Watch Hung Straight Guy Jason Gives In from Blake Mason!

She said there's much to be gained by staying in Speedway for the evening.
"A lot of people have their own family activities on Saturday," Harris said, "so we thought Friday would be a good kick-off party to start the weekend. We want people to come to Speedway and stay in Speedway instead of going to Broad Ripple or downtown.
"(The event) helps the businesses because it brings people to Main Street who might not get there otherwise. Local restaurants benefit."
Harris said town officials are working hard to show visitors and residents alike how much Speedway has to offer. Long after the race is gone, she said there's still plenty to do in Speedway.
"We're building more things," she said. "Dallara has a fan experience. Sarah Fisher Racing will eventually open a fan experience. We're slowly adding new restaurants and we'd like it to be up and down Main Street throughout the year. We're unique in that sort of thing."
The live music area will be at 15th and Main streets. There will be a tent in the event that inclement weather forces adjustments.

The Triumph of Provocationby Jozef Mackiewicz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This masterful political treatise, first published in 1962, examines the history and nature of Communism as it developed in the Soviet Union and in Poland. Józef Mackiewicz, known for his relentless opposition to Communism, argues that accommodation with the Communists simply helped them to impose their vision of the world and pursue their goal of global domination. He compares Communism to Nazism and insists that the former was the greater threat to the future of humanity.
Now available in English for the first time, The Triumph of Provocation will be compelling reading for those interested in Polish history, Communism, and Nazism.
Mackiewiczs unique interpretation of the differences and similarities between Communism and Nazism is highly relevant to debates about these two systems and to major contemporary issues which are of particular importance to the U.S. and Europe, including radical Islam and the necessity of war and the responsibility for war.
About the Author
Józef Mackiewicz (19021985) was an eminent Polish writer of fiction and nonfiction. The late Jerzy Hauptmann was professor emeritus of political science and public administration at Park University. S. D. Lukac is a retired translator living in the U.S. Martin Dewhirst is honorary research fellow, Department of Slavonic Studies, University of Glasgow.

As USA Network's Psych hangs up its pineapple after eight seasons of tomfoolery — or should it be called Shawn-foolery? — mystery takes even more of a back seat to comedy than usual in the series finale (Wednesday, 9/8c), ominously titled "The Breakup." While there is a murder to be solved (frequently referred to as "our last case"), it's a perfunctory distraction at best to Shawn's main concern: how to tell Gus that their bromantic partnership may in fact be over.

Reviews by deadonhisfeet:
4.34/5 rDev +2.6%
Poured from a bottle into a small snifter. Very dark pour, opaque, with little carbonation and no head (typical for a barrel-aged beer and I don't consider it a defect). The nose is very nice. Rich, sweet, and toasty with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, and bourbon.
The beer has a full body, a firm feel (slightly creamy, though thinner than I like for this style) and a nice sweet, malty, bourbon-tinged flavor. I get some chocolate and sarsaparilla up front and the bourbon comes in around mid-palate, bringing with it oak and vanilla and a little bit of warmth. The beer is surprisingly smooth, with very little ``bite''. It reminds me of Schlafly's offering, though with a bit more body. The finish is sticky, warm, and sweet with a nice lingering toffee flavor.
I just love these bourbon-barrel-aged imperial stouts and can't get enough of them. They all seem to have their own particular charms and characteristics. KBS is that nice, sweet, well-behaved, well-mannered honor student like your folks want you to marry someday. BCBS is that rough, foul-mouthed, hard-rocking chick that you'd hate to introduce to the folks, but lust after nonetheless. This one is like the cool girl you hang out with for years (because she likes comic books), and then one day you realize just how pretty she is.

4.29/5 rDev +1.4%
2013 Vintage. 12 oz bottle poured into my trusty pint glass.
Appearance: Pours nearly pitch-black with a khaki tan head. Based on other reviews, I expected the head to dissipate quickly, but it's lingering a bit longer than expected.
Smell: Smells of caramel, chocolate, vanilla and - obviously - bourbon flow out of this one. A little sweeter smelling than the BCBS i recently reviewed. If this tastes anywhere near as good as it smells... I'm in for a good time!
Taste: Hmm. Pretty freaking good. A little boozier than the BCBS, a little more in-your-face with the flavors. Definite vanilla and chocolate aspects poke through. Not as complex as the BCBS, but the flavors still play very well with one another.
Mouthfeel: Definitely a warming, almost hot, mouthfeel. That said, it's quite... soft and smooth at the same time. Doesn't linger too strongly in the mouth.
Overall: Very delicious. Very drinkable. I'm gonna stash at least 2 of the bottles in my cellar and see what happens as it ages. Very excited to see where this goes - got another bottle of BCBS stashed alongside this, so I can do a direct comparison.

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip
It pours a nearly pitch black with a decent sized tan head. Retention is medium with minimal lacing.
The nose is just great. It's rich, sweet with a heavy bourbon presence without a heavy alcohol aroma. On the end a nice subdued coffee roast is there.
The flavor kind of falls off from there, an alcohol presence is there the entire sip which is very distracting. The roast goes away and there is an increased vanilla flavor.
The spirits thin out the body too much for my liking in an imperial stout. The carbonation level is nice though, a bit lively in order to take away from the bourbon. Drinkability is decent but the alcohol flavor really doesn't meld well with the rest of the beer.

12oz bottle with new brown barrel label. Pours into my glass a deep, dark black with a quarter inch of somewhat fizzy tan head on top. It lingers for a bit and falls to a ring. Aromas begin with rich, dark roasted malts and a dark fruit undertone. Notes of chocolate and coffee are quickly met by a wonderful bourbon with vanilla tones as well. Caramel is in there as well.
First sip brings roasted malt upfront that follows with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, caramel and a touch of coffee as well. Big bourbon and oak tones stand out along with a vanilla undertone that is quite nice. It finishes off with just a touch of bitterness and a lingering bourbon flavor.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice creaminess and plenty of carbonation. Not as heavy and viscous as many barrel aged stouts I've sampled, but quite nice nonetheless and it makes it easier to imbibe. Overall, a tasty bourbon stout from Central Waters. It's well worth checking out if you're into bourbon barrel aged stouts. I'm glad I still have another bottle.

Received a 6er of this from nflmvp, thanks man...
Pours pitch black, with a tan head on top. Came up an inch and receeded to a dense foam layer that coats the glass in a solid sheet. Definately a good start.
Lots of bourbon in this, definately the predominant aroma along with a milk chocolate aroma. Actually pretty simple overall, lots of bourbon and alcohol.
Whew! There is a good bit going on in this. Solid dark toasted malts form a good basis for this. Dark chocolate and some toffee play into this well. This transitions into a good dose of bourbon right before the swallow and then comes back right after that. Then there is a good finish of slightly charred malts with a touch of bitterness that lingers. Alcohol is evident but plays in well.
Good mouthfeel overall. Fairly full, oily and slick on the tongue. Flavor lingers for just a bit. Low carbonation as would be expected.
Good drinkability. This one is a true sipper and really warms the stomach. Hard to have much more in a night but something I'll come back to, especially if the weather ever gets colder.

32 ounce growler filled at DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY
Pour near black, minimal dark mocha head/thick film, leaves a lasting collar and low, slippery and ringed bits of lace.
Nose of bourbon, chocolate , and vanilla.
Full flavor, waves of dark chocolate, vanilla and heavy bourbon. Delicious, with the strong alcohol obviously present but somewhat muted for the strength.
Moderate body and enjoyably smooth mouth feel.
World class sipper, happy to be able to enjoy it on tap, via my growler.

Solid black in color with a skimming of tan colored head....some tight, yet thin lacing forms as I sip my way thru this offering.
Delish in the nose...dark chocolate, vanilla, mellow bourbon and a sweet malty finish.
Taste is even better, but the flavor mesh much more, leaving a very well balanced, barrel-aged brew. Hefty chocolate flavor is still there and throw in the slightest bit of espresso...the whiskey is there, but just to add that special something to this stout. Finishes semi-dry and very clean...alcohol is very well hidden.
Mouthfeel is pretty thick and the carbonation is subdued...a definite night cap and dangerously drinkable.
A solid beer and one I would love to score again...a great beer to celebrate my 500th review.

Sublime perfection,
This review is from: Bach: Fantasia, Aria & other works (Audio CD)
I have had a copy of this disc for some time. I bought this one to give to one of my sons, who is a keen Bach enthusiast. I felt he should hear (and re-hear)this sublime example of the exemplary pianistic art of Angela Hewitt. (He has no need, any more than I do, of any proof of the transcendental artistry of J S Bach).
This delightful collection of miscellaneous pieces completes Ms Hewitt's recordings of the (almost) complete keyboard works of Bach. She is, without doubt, the definitive performer of Bach on the piano.
