Poured into a snifter. decent pour. Tan head, exquisite lacing, looked like a dalmation. Bar was dark, but the beer appeared boldly black.
Whiskey smell.
Tastes full bodied n carbonated. Creamy bourbon chocolate. Not really the flavor for this beer, but reminds me of rum cake (if it was saturated in makers mark).
Mouthfeel is perfect, thick and creamy but not too syrupy, and with none of that trub you sometimes get in the bottle, maybe im just not used to drinking from a tap.
Drinkability is low just because this is so damn strong. Delicious, but i would never exceed two of these a night.

Big thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer looks exactly like an imperial stout should, completely black with a dark tan head. The aroma is wonderful. I get a lot of roasted malt and chocolate, as well as a lot of notes from the barrel aging: bourbon, maple and vanilla.
The flavor is more of the same. You can tell the base beer is excellent and the chocolate and coffee notes come through nicely. I also get the same barrel aging notes as in the aroma: whiskey, maple and vanilla. The bourbon is present but is not overpowering. All of the flavors work very well together and make this an outstanding beer.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Big, heady-looking, thick and viscous, this dark brown beer looks like it intends to bring it. The head is darker than medium brown and about one finger tall. Its retention is strong, as is the lacing stuck to the glass.
With lots going on in the nose, the malty foundation laid down is strongly evident, not to mention being enough to hold together lots of strong notes of some pretty heavy stuff with ease. It smells like a thick, heavy bread cooked with molasses and brown sugar. It's evidently alcoholic and very warm without being nothing more than straight heat. It warms nicely and gives a kick while allowing tons of flavor to come through. The malts are heavy and dark, complex in and of themselves, and providing just a bit of roast and cocoa. On the tongue, perhaps just slightly more than in the nose, some woodiness becomes a factor while adding a dryness to counter a sweetness without being too dry. A light note of herbal leaf adds somewhat more dryness, hops just enough to balance while keeping things fantastically even and preventing any domineering or one-sidedness in the flavor.
Smooth and beastly, thick and robust without sitting heavily on the tongue or in the stomach, the leaf is actually felt in a dryness toward the front of the tongue and keeps excellent balance in the mouthfeel as well as every other aspect of this beer. Carbonation is just right, only a bit of active crispness in the rich, smooth brew.

Big thanks to Matt for sending this my way in a recent bif! Review from notes.
A: Pours black with a very small tan head that dissolves quickly and leaves behind no lacing whatsoever.
S: Nice and bourbony, some chocolate and plenty of oak. There is a little bit of vanilla and caramel as well.
T: Surprised by how chocolatey this beer is, very nice. There is also some brown sugar and some slightly sweet dark fruit, plums came to mind at the time.
S: Medium to full bodied, low carbonation, but very smooth and easy drinking. No sign of the 10.50%.
O: A very nice beer, a great start to a mini-tasting that it was consumed at. Loved how chocolate forward it was mixed with with bourbon flavors.

2011 vintage. Bomber #210/336 poured into a Cigar City snifter. Shared with schen9303.
Pours like all the other Dark Apparitions. Deep, near opaque black. No head, no lacing but oily, thick legs that really coat the glass. Big and bold.
Bourbon presence is immediately apparent in the nose. Boozy sweetness covers the unfortunate slight tartness from the base beer. Fudge, caramel, chocolate, and a very mild roastiness. Decent.
Again, the base beer here is not that great so no amount of aging in any barrels is gonna make a huge difference. That being said, this is better than either the regular or vanilla so far. Opens sweet booziness, fudge, and chocolate. Some ashiness and again, that mild, light, unpleasant tartness appears. End is sweet with some honey notes. Finishes slightly tart and roasty. Warming produces more sweetness. This one has a bit of hope.
Medium bodied with low carbonation. Oily and slick in the mouth and warm going down. Finishes sticky with a lingering aftertaste. Again, a touch thin but the barrel helps here.
Compared to the Vanilla and regular (I don't even want to think about the disaster that is the nano), this is the best so far. The bourbon barrel aging really helps sweeten this one and tones down that ever present tartness. A worthy brew.

A - Pours black. Not Brown, Black. Small amount of light brown head.
S - Nothing but bourbon and chocolate in the smell, and I like it that way.
T - Wow!! Brown sugar, carbonated, with molasses and bourbon thrown in for good measure. This is what perfection tastes like.
M - Great for the style, the agressive carbonation keeps the sweetness from getting cloying.
O - Great beer. This was a hold out from the original release, now a year old. Absolutely delicious.

Bottle #184/384
Barrel-aged Dark Apparition is pitch black in color. Very ominous. No light cuts through at all. Very impressive looking. A dark mocha colored head tops it and rises to about a finger and a half in height. It recedes quickly, leaving light strands of lace lining the glass.
Smells delicious. It's very malty up front. Chocolate and caramel malts smell delicious. It definitely smells a little sweet. Bourbon and oak are definitely in the mix. The bourbon seems to be moderately strong. That's my preference. It complements the malty notes very well. Secondary scents include coffee, molasses, and perhaps a touch of black licorice. Alcohol is there, but it doesn't smell too strong. Eh. It's big beer…what do you expect?
The flavor definitely lives up to the nose. The malt base is nothing short of tremendous. It's full of caramel sweetness, bittersweet dark chocolate, and a little cocoa. Very tasty. Bourbon has a moderately strong flavor. It works perfectly. Eight months is barrels were the perfect amount of time. The flavor profile is quite deep. Secondary flavors of oak, roasted coffee, molasses, very faint black licorice, and a touch of sugar are all noted. Alcohol is blended well for what it's worth. It's there, but isn't warm or hot. Finishes a little sweet and chocolaty with a touch of bourbon.
The body is best described as medium. Carbonation feels light. It is smooth, but would benefit from more body. It just feels a little insubstantial for a big barrel-aged stout. Not bad at all though.
Barrel-aged Dark Apparition is excellent beer. I know Jackie O's brews a lot of good beer, but this has to be among their best. It's chock full of flavor and has a ton of depth and character. There's really not much that could improve it. Maybe a tad bit more body. That's about it. Great stuff. Thanks a ton for the bottle, Chris!

A: Dark, dark brown with no head; some decent lacing
S: Booze, burnt brown sugar, oak, bourbon, roasted malts; this is so boozy
T: Really boozy but not in a bad (hot) way; lots of bourbon and chocolate and oak; as the beer warms the beer--though still quite boozy--begins to come together nicely; even some brown sugar and nutty and dark fruit flavors on the finish
F: A bit thin but it gets more body as it warms
O: This is a nice, boozy, and bourbony beer

Don't know what the hype is for this beer. Yeah it's rare but it's not THAT great. Poured into a snifter. Pours super flat again like the Cab Cherry Man. No head. No lacing. Super black.
Aroma is good. Probably the best part. It's super bourbony. Nice stouty ness. Caramel and some slight dark fruits.
Taste is way too thin. And no carb. Has a nice bourboness. Little bit of roast in the finish. The flavor is really lacking like some caramel and body you would expect from a stout of this style.
Mouthfeel is too thin and no carb. Terrible mouthfeel for a stout.
Overall this beer was disappointing. And people are saying the west coast hypes up their beer. This one is not deserving of an A at all. There are alot more beers I would put up there. If their other beers are rated this high and taste like this I dont think I will be trading and giving up awesome beer just because the bottle count is 300.

Huge thanks to Ryan011235 for hooking up this tick.
Pours black and thick with a lasting one-finger tan head and good lacing.
The aroma is pretty nice, with oak and bourbon as well as great base stout notes of roast and dark chocolate.
Great complex flavor. Bourbon, oak, and bourbon- soaked dark fruits, along with coffee, chocolate, brown sugar, and vanilla. Complex and very tasty.
The mouthfeel is better than Oil of Aphrodite, smooth and not too syrupy with softer carbonation.
Great stuff, really impressive and better than expectations.

Liter swing-top growler into several glasses. Thanks go to FooFaa for bringing this one to the party.
Pours a dense black, with a 1/2 finger covering of burnt mocha head. This stays quite frothy around the edges, leaving a big creamy cascade of heavy lacing behind. Just a good RIS look and the retention held up pretty well for a BA Sout. Chocolate is very rich smelling in the aroma, along with notes of roast and coffee, which give this some crunch in the nose. The Bourbon is very assertive here, with vanilla and woody textures helping smooth some of the more aggressive aspects of it out but make no mistake that this is a huge part of the monster bouquet on this.
Chocolate roast is just as huge in the taste, giving this a rich chewy sweetness. The Bourbon character is no slouch either, giving the profile a big boozy and dry feel. This finishes with lingering roast, a smack of vanilla, and a deep tannic dryness which literally sucks all of the moisture out of your mouth after each sip. The mouthfeel is VERY much on the full bodied side, with a huge chewiness to it that then gets much slicker feeling the more it sits in the mouth. This appears to handle its large ABV rather well, with most of the warmth coming from the barrel.
I really dug this for the most part. Very deep tasting with a complex strength to it, the only thing really holding this back is the aggressiveness of the Bourbon itself. This is one best enjoyed in smaller quantities as a sipper. I couldn't imagine tackling a large quantity of this by myself.

Massive thanks goes out to thunderroad12 for sharing this one with me in-line at BASC among other rarities! Served from bottle into a Duck-Rabbit snifter. Poured a massively dark brown with a minimal off-white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, dark chocolate, peat, sweet alchol, and subtle wood. The flavor was of sweet malt, subtle roasted malt, dark chocolate, peat, wood, and subtle alcohol. It had a medium feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. However, the slight peat character on this one was a little off-putting to me. While it was not abrasive, it just didn't seem to fit in well with the other flavors going on in this one. The aroma was quite nice on this one however. While I say the flavor wasn't the best, it was in no-way bad. Really glad I got the chance to try this one!

Pitch black, creamy tan head. Aroma is very faint but the bourbon is there. Not overly present in the taste either, the bourbon kinda creeps in on the finish and mingles with smooth roasted malt and chocolate undertones. Very well done, the base Dark Apparition is great and all of the variations are as well.

Stay away from this location - it is a genuine racket. Not only is it extremely overpriced, the employees on the floor pocket the money and the local SA manager gets a cut out of it to stay quiet. No large ($50+) bill is rung up there with a paper trail (and they'll fake that the CC machines are not working).

FORT WORTH, Texas. (BP)--Almost every Sunday morning Im in a different pastors office. Often the ministers gather for prayer before I preach that morning.
Before we pray, here is what they often say: Bro. Richard, we are just thrilled with what God has done through True Love Waits. What a powerful movement that literally has brought positive change to the U.S. and now to the world.
(So far so good, but then comes the following:)
In fact, we so believe in True Love Waits that we provided a beautiful promise ceremony here three years ago.
Though I keep a smile on my face, thoughts whirl through my mind. Three years ago? During that span, teenagers who entered puberty at 11 or 12 have reached ninth grade with no opportunity to proclaim publicly their promise of purity. Seventh graders fascinated with oral sex have gone all year with no invitation to promise purity to God. Eighth graders who go to parties where the girls give the boys rainbows (dont ask) have gone yet another year with no promise. High school juniors gloriously saved graduate with no opportunity to stand tall for purity in a worship celebration. Families with teenagers join the church, but then wait three years before they are challenged to slip a promise ring on their teens fingers.
Perhaps church leaders shy away from an annual promise ceremony because they dont want to ask a student to sign six cards while young. They have missed the point. We never ask teenagers to make multiple promises. In fact, it offends Christian students when they are asked to promise again. In their minds, their original promise was a promise to God and that promise stands to their wedding day and beyond.
The annual invitation to participate in a promise ceremony is made to middle schoolers who are being promoted into the student ministry, to all students who have made commitments to Christ in the previous year, and to students who have joined the church and have no background with True Love Waits. But students who have made promises in previous years participate in Bible teaching on purity and attend the ceremony to support the first-timers - no one places another card in their hands.
Few churches highlight international missions only once every few years. Few would decide to offer Vacation Bible School only once every few years. Churches give annual attention to those initiatives because they have kingdom importance. Those initiatives matter in peoples lives - in the same way that a lifestyle of absolute purity matters.
We all are thankful schools are giving more attention to abstinence. Two or three health classes that present the advantages of waiting are far better than what was done before. But that is no substitute for True Love Waits. At school, students make a promise to a program. At church they make a promise to God Almighty. At school Christian students can feel alone in their lifestyle choice. Through True Love Waits they lock arms with several million peers who live as they do. After the unit in school, no one offers much help until the following year. Through True Love Waits, parents and youth leaders provide instruction, warmth and encouragement year-round.
During the Valentine season, tens of thousands of churches will provide beautiful, moving services and ceremonies built around promises of purity. Some churches wont. When churches go more than a year without inviting their teenagers to settle this issue before God, they are placing those kids at risk.
Maybe someone should place this on the agenda for the next church staff meeting.
Richard Ross is professor of student ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and a spokesperson for the international True Love Waits campaign.

Iran is developing nukes openly, in front of the world, for all to see. More evidence than what is plain for all to see? It came to light that are working on nuclear detonators. But everybody (evidently, except you) knew they were developing nukes before this incontrovertible "smoking gun" was exposed.

Read what you said and a lot has to do with installer service like I said.
The H-24 (HD DVR or Genie) was basically already replaced before they started releasing them mainstream, and the H-25 (SWiM only non DVR) is kind of pointless for the price. I agree there, but technology is outdoes itself so quickly it's kind of normal now. Before I left they were about to release a TiVo branded DVR designated H-30 I believe.
As for signal, that is completely up to your original installer. Every fresh install is supposed to be guaranteed 5-10 years no interference by trees or they have to put the dish in a different spot. Period. DirecTV is also supposed to QA this behind the installer. They recently (as of last year) changed so all HD dishes are the same size and use the same mounts with longer bolts. Technically, the way they are supposed to be installed means the dish can't move and it's supposed to be dithered over 97% on the 119 (HD) so weather is not a problem with signal. Not only that, but the new system is a single cable system so only one hole drilled in your wall and 1 cable per box. Older boxes are backwards compatible with this system so you don't need to upgrade unless you have something older than a D-12.
As far as on demand, not sure what is wrong there. I installed in rural areas with less than 10Mb connections and I could start an HD on-demand video download and come back 10 minutes later and start watching it without interruption. I guess when I installed on-demand service wasn't bogging their servers down or your hardware had some problems. It's better than them trying to download a few gig worth of 1080p movies through their sat connection. Downloading firmware for those boxes take forever.
I agree with you for the most part and their CS can be crap to work with even for installers. Cable is a much better alternative if you live in the city as usually it's cheaper. As of January when I left DirecTV 1080p quality was unmatched on numerous devices I looked at. When I was training I went all over the DFW area so I got to see many different companies. It seems the only people who never switched were FiOS customers.

On July 17, 2013, Paralyzed Veterans of America testified on behalf of the co-authors of The Independent Budget—AMVETS, Disabled American Veterans, Paralyzed Veterans, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars—before the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The Committee considered three bills: H.R. 813, the "Putting Veterans Funding First Act of 2013;" H.R. 806; and, H.R. 2704, the "Department of Veterans Affairs Budget Planning Reform Act of 2013." These bills are meant to put funding for all VA programs in a more stable position while requiring more strategic planning for VA funding in the future.
H.R. 813 is bipartisan legislation introduced by VA Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-FL) and Ranking Member Mike Michaud (D-ME). This legislation would authorize advance appropriations for all VA discretionary accounts: Medical and Prosthetic Research, General Operating Expenditures, Information Technology, National Cemetery Administration, Inspector General, Major Construction, Minor Construction, State Home Construction Grants, State Cemetery Grants and Other Discretionary Accounts. While the enactment of advance appropriations authority for VA medical care has been successful in helping the VA health care system operate more efficiently and rationally during budget stalemates, the remaining VA budget accounts continue to be negatively affected by unrelated political and partisan fights. The Independent Budget for Fiscal Year 2014 recommends that Congress debate and considers authorizing advance appropriations for all VA accounts. With this in mind, we fully support the proposed legislation.
H.R. 806, introduced by Representative Julia Brownley (D-CA), would make permanent the requirement that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) continue to study and report on VA's budget submissions. This bill reflects a specific recommendation called for in The Independent Budget. Paralyzed Veterans also emphasized that should H.R. 813 be enacted, it would be necessary to revise H.R. 806 to provide additional flexibility to enable GAO to study and report on all VA funding provided through advance appropriations.
Much of the discussion during the hearing centered around H.R. 2704. This legislation would establish new planning and budgeting processes as well as study and make organizational changes affecting VA's ability to develop and implement budgets and strategic plans. Of the provisions of the legislation, Paralyzed Veterans focused on a couple of particular concerns. First, the draft bill, beginning in 2017, would require VA to conduct a Quadrennial Veterans Review (QVR) every four years, modeled after the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) currently required by law. We are concerned that a strategic planning framework designed specifically for the Department of Defense (DOD) and later adopted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not necessarily appropriate for VA. There are fundamental differences between DOD and VA (and also between DHS and VA) that raise concerns about whether VA should be required to use the same planning structures and methods designed specifically to evaluate DOD's future roles and missions following the end of the Cold War. While the worldwide threats and missions associated with those threats are always evolving requiring constant reevaluation by DOD and DHS, the fundamental roles and missions of VA and veterans policies rarely, if ever, need to shift so quickly or dramatically based on external events or influences. While presidential elections may often lead to large swings in national security policy, our nation's longstanding commitment to veterans has remained clear and steadfast for at least 150 years.
Second, the bill would require VA to develop and submit annually a Future-Years Veterans Program (FYVP), which is modeled after the Future-Years Defense Program (FYDP) and the Future-Years Homeland Security Program (FYHSP). The FYVP would lay out a five-year plan for meeting the nation's commitment to veterans as well as delineate the resources necessary to meet that commitment. The FYVP would include five-year estimates of the budget and appropriations levels on a program element basis in order to ensure that resources properly align with outcome-based plans and programs. The FYVP would be submitted concurrent with VA's annual budget submission and the draft bill would require that it be consistent with funding requests contained in the Administration's budget submission. The draft bill would also require that the Future-Years Veterans Program be coordinated with the Quadrennial Veterans Review, which serves as the foundation for developing the FYVP's five-year plans.
However, it is not clear whether the creation of a Future-Years Veterans Program would lead to either more transparent or more accurate budgets or appropriations. Although the QDR and QHR are readily available online, it does not appear that the FYDP or the FYHSP are similarly available, calling into question the transparency that might be produced by this legislation. Moreover, we are concerned that the FYVP budget assessment could lead to permanent benchmarks for VA funding that never are fully reevaluated for sufficiency in the out years.
Given the many questions that we raised during the hearing, the co-authors of The Independent Budget withheld support for the bill. To read the complete written statement for this hearing submitted to the House VA Committee, please visit this link.

In my last post on Charles Taylor's magnum opus A Secular Age, I described how Protestants rejected a "magical" understanding of the Church's sacraments and rituals by asserting a purer monotheistic vision of a God who is above the forces of nature. This eventually resulted in the modern mechanistic view of nature, which runs so smoothly by itself that God can seem superfluous. But it took a few more steps to get there, since, Taylor argues, the original impetus for this move wasn't debunking but devotional.
Comprehending the shift requires understanding pagan European philosophies of nature in a bit more detail. As I said earlier, pagans tend to see natural forces and objects as inhabited by consciousness; but apart from such directly experienced aspects of nature, the spirit world was inhabited by what Jung called archetypes. The gods personify certain abstract qualities of human life: love, war, beauty, wisdom, male, female, youth, old age, and so on. Of course, belief in such gods was discouraged once Christianity came along. But among the literate classes at least, a more highbrow philosophical version survived through Christians adopting the classical Greek concept of universals.
Here I admit that my lack of philosophical education will probably make me screw something up, so I cede the floor to David Opderbeck:
Philosophically, the question relates to whether "universal" substances exist apart from their particular instantiations ("universals"), or whether substances are merely names for particular instances of things ("nominalism").
Consider an apple. What is an apple? Is this particular apple on my kitchen table one instantiation of the substance "apple" – a substance with some sort of universal metaphysical ("beyond-" or "above-" physical) properties that are shared by all apples? Or is "apple" simply a name I apply to this object before me as a result of some observable similarities with other objects (other things we also call "apple") that have no metaphysical connection to the "apple" on my table?
For many who claim a modern scientific worldview, there are only particular objects called "apple," which are more or less related to other particular objects in morphology and chemical composition, all of which are categorized as "apples" for the sake of convenience. What is "real," in this view, is merely chemistry and physical laws, not any substance "apple." In contrast, for those who believe in universal properties, "apple" implies properties that are real and transcendent of any one apple.
Opderbeck and Taylor both point to 13th-century thinker William of Occam as the prime example of the shift to the modern view, called nominalism, and it was driven by a concern for God's sovereignty. As Taylor says: "The Aristotelian notion of nature seems to define for each thing its natural perfection, its proper good. This would be independent of God's will, except that he it is who created the thing thus. But once created, it would appear that God cannot further redefine what the good is for that thing." Nominalism, on the other hand, sees things as instruments of God's will, as interlocking parts in his ongoing project.
That at first might not sound very scientific. This is the God of Intelligent Design, the God of the purpose-driven life, and (much to Opderbeck's annoyance) the God that a great many American conservative Protestants believe in. But nominalism also did something extremely necessary in the move toward modern science, in that it turned the material world into inert "stuff," whose meaning and purpose comes only from the intelligence who created it and uses it. Nature is no longer archetypal, but instrumental.
This discussion was rather difficult for me to follow, but if I understand it right it does help to clarify the difference between "purpose" as understood in, say, Thomas Aquinas and other Natural Law theorists, and "purpose" in modern scientific thinking. I mean, while it's true that some will say that purposelessness is the defining characteristic of scientific materialism, on the other hand the narrative of cause and effect does make it possible for, say, a scientist to agree that sex is "for" reproduction. What's lacking is the inherent connection between the general purpose and every particular instance, and along with it the connection between form and function. So, for instance, conception achieved in a lab instead of in a woman's body equally well achieves the purpose of reproduction; conversely, if you cancel the reproductive purpose of sex through birth control or sodomy, and use it for your own emotional fulfillment, then that becomes the purpose of that particular sex act just as surely as reproduction is in another case. The idea of universals, by contrast, seems to say that only reproductive sex is the universal form, and while you may more or less tolerate deviance in individual instances, those deviations can never really participate in the universal.
This, I think, pretty well explains how the culture war has gone. Because if I have trouble wrapping my head around universals — and I am both attracted to mythopoetic thinking and kind of a prude — then it's going to be pretty well impossible for someone with more skin in the game, like a partnered gay person. Because we moderns live in a completely instrumental world. I mean, the archetypes are nice in theory, but I have no idea how to actually live as both a woman and as an instance of Woman. Without a sense of the reality of the universal, this idea simply turns into a pile of pointless restrictions: you can't do this or that because you're a girl.
Even the conservative side of the argument tends to think instrumentally: traditional marriage and family are good for society because statistically children are better off in this way and that. But as Eve pointed out a while ago, statistics can't entirely resolve our moral problems — in part because we have to decide beforehand just what purpose we're using them for.
But anyway, long before these culture-war arguments broke out, the shift towards nominalism was changing society. The next post will look at how that began to play out.

The 6-foot-4.5, 250-pound tight end for the Irish, the No. 4 DE rated by Scout.com, dreams of catching touchdown passes at Autzen Stadium, and has already verbally committed to the Oregon Ducks.
But on this day it's not so much about football, even though he's at Oregon's Moshofsky Center. After working out at a Barton Football camp with teammate Jordan Johnson, White heads home to meet up with a friend. Pretty typical stuff, until you find out his friend is - Aaron Dunn.
So what makes this meeting so unique? Well, Dunn lives in Spokane, Wash., not exactly next door to Eugene. And moreover, Dunn is rated by Scout.com as the No. 8 tight end in the country.
And the 6-foot-6, 235-pounder from Mead High School is verbally committed to Washington State to play football.
Make no mistake; this is not a chance encounter between two freakishly athletic talents. This friendship goes a lot deeper, and watching the two interact it's easy to see why they get along so well. Their Pac-10 roots extend all the way to Kalispell, Montana, when Dunn got a phone call a year ago from another friend - current Arizona State quarterback signee Brock Osweiler.
"He called me up and asked me what I was doing for spring basketball, and I told him that I wasn't playing until the summer," Dunn told Scout.com recently. So Osweiler and Dunn hooked up with the Portland Legends, an AAU hoops team that also featured players like Abdul Gaddy, Anthony Brown and even Avery Bradley for a time.
Curtis White was also a member of the Legends. Soon the two found themselves in a mall in Houston, Tex. during an AAU tournament, and they weren't talking basketball. It was all about football. And White followed Dunn to a Gonzaga basketball camp in July and their friendship continued to grow.
"I heard he was committed to Oregon from a kid on the team," Dunn remembered. "Washington State hadn't offered me at that point, but they were recruiting me pretty hard and I was wondering what I could do to get this kid to come to Pullman. And he was trying to get me to come to Eugene."
White made his pledge known back in February, shortly after 2008's Signing Day. He won't sign until 2010.
"They pulled me in as a sophomore and said they wanted to offer me at whatever position I wanted to play," White said of Oregon's staff. It was a no-brainer for White, who was turned onto the program long before his football career took off. It happened when the Ducks took a liking to his younger brother Tyson, who was battling leukemia. They took him in and brought him to their practices, where he got to meet players from both the football and basketball teams. It clearly struck a major chord with Tyson's big brother. Tyson will have been gone four years this coming November, but his memory lives on in Curtis.
"I got to know (Oregon) coach (Mike) Bellotti at a young age," White added. "I just saw everything they did for all the kids, including my family - and I liked it."
And he's not shy about putting his recruiting pitch on Dunn. "I'm trying to get him to come down here, but he's pretty committed," White said with a chuckle.
Right before that Gonzaga camp last summer, Dunn traveled south to Pullman, and was offered that coveted scholarship. It's the offer he wanted, as both his parents went to Washington State, and he also had a strong bond with first-year Head Coach Paul Wulff during his time as head coach at Eastern Washington.
A verbal commitment soon followed.
Both White and Dunn expected huge junior seasons, but injury hampered their effectiveness. In the case of Dunn, a helmet against his knee - the result of an illegal chop block against Gonzaga Prep - blew out his ACL, MCL and lateral meniscus. "Didn't even get flagged," Dunn said, shaking his head.
Despite only playing four-and-a-half games for the Panthers, Dunn still came up with eight sacks. He had surgery in November. "It's going well," Dunn said of his rehabilitation. "I'm running, light cuts, little jumps."
"So let's see it," a smiling White motioned to Dunn, half-joking, half-serious. But he has his own issues.
White finished the year with nine sacks for Sheldon, and did it with a ripped-up shoulder. White had surgery after the season to repair a torn labrum where bone had broken off. "It had cut the ligament," he said. "It was kind of gross. I played with it for two years without knowing. (The shoulder) would just pop out of socket, and I'd pop it back in and play."
He has also been cleared to lift and run.
While their seasons were going on, the conversations increased. "During the Oregon-Washington State game I was letting (Dunn) have it," White said. First, it was about the uniforms. Russell? We have wings on."
Getting dinged up hasn't hurt their stock: Dunn has standing football offers from Washington State and Fresno State, as well as basketball offers from Portland State and Saint Mary's. White has offers from Oregon, Oregon State, LSU, California, Duke, North Carolina and UCLA.
In a bit of an ironic twist, the UO-bound White will go to California's Junior Day with teammate Johnson, and then will attend the Nike camp in Eugene with Dunn, as well as Oregon's camp. And to reciprocate, White will travel to Pullman to take part in Washington State's camp.
"Hopefully, even if we don't go to the same school, we just stay friends and talk to each other a couple of times a week," White said, also envisioning a dream scenario where the two shake hands with the scoreboard reading: Oregon 60, Washington State 3.
Dunn just shakes his head and laughs.
Eventually talk moves to another dream scenario, the two playing in the NFL someday. "We always talk about that," Dunn said. White gives Dunn some grief about him playing left tackle by then, and Dunn pipes back up about White probably playing center.
"I'm probably closer to left tackle, aren't I?" White counters. That gets a big laugh from both.
The back and forth is genuine, as if the two have been the best of friends for years and years. It's a friendship that was forged on the hardwood and reinforced on the football field, even if only from a distance.

Goldman Sachs lives high on the taxpayer dole
July 21, 2009
Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi gets to the heart of how one investment banking firm, Goldman Sachs, has engineered bubble after speculative bubble in the marketplace for years, always positioning itself to prosper in the wake of each disaster -- often at taxpayer expense.
What you need to know is the big picture: If America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs has found a way to be that drain — an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.
Read it. It's a blueprint of how the executive class rigs the game for its own benefit.
Abe digs in to a smokin' hot piece in Rolling Stone by Matt Taibbi, about how Goldman Sachs -- and a who's-who cast of Goldman alumni -- has for years engineered speculative bubble after speculative bubble in the "free market" (including the recent housing/mortgage derivative bubble), and placed itself in a unique position to profit at taxpayer expense.

Kenyan Runner Abel Kirui training (centre, wearing black top). Photograph appears courtesy of Let's Run
An ongoing annual series about the connection between Sport and Society, "Footprints 2012" takes IDEAS host Paul Kennedy to the Great Rift Valley, in Kenya. He spends time in the training camp for distance runners that may produce pots of gold at this summer's London Olympics.
The Great Rift Valley in Northern Kenya is generally believed to be the place
where the human race originally evolved, and eventually started its inevitable
migration to all four corners of the globe. The Valley boasts some of the
most vastly spectacular vistas on the planet. It's also "home" to many of the
fastest long-distance runners in the world.
For decades now, Kenyans have been dominating the finisher's podium and monopolizing the medals for races run over every distance between 1500 metres and the marathon. Various explanations are often offered for their success. Our ancient ancestors survived as a species because they could almost always out run other animals. They weren't necessarily faster than antelopes or gazelles, especially over short distances. But they could last longer, and thus outrun their dinner, which proved to be an important evolutionary advantage.
The upper end of the Great Rift Valley is also situated about 2,200 metres above sea level. This facilitates what running coaches now call training "at altitude", which is another explanation for the relatively recent success of Kenyan distance runners.
Participants in the program: Kathrine Switzer, Roger Robinson, and Myles Edwards.

Big Ten Previews, Pt. 11: Iowa Hawkeyes
Oh, Kirk Ferentz, where do I even begin? After three years of steady regression the Hawkeyes bounced back to an 8-5 record in 2013 (and Hawkeye fans celebrated like they won the dang national title; apparently expectations are low in Iowa City), bouncing back from a 4-8 mark the year before.

Although BFM markets the 6 types of hops, the bitterness is well contained, and most substantiated in the finish. Superior tasty Belgian dark, with herbal aroma. Some caramel, grassiness, bold taste for merely 7.5% (and great for a weekencd lunch), orange peel citrus, coriander,fruity,sweet spicey yeasty.

Appearance: Way too much of a head sits atop the cloudy amber liquid; on the flip side, as it settles, the retention is great, and so is the lacing
Smell: While there are a number of interesting elements to the aroma, I cannot get past the band-aid phenolics, but I'll try; there is some stone fruit, vegetal funk and just a hint of toffee
Taste: Fortunately, the beer tastes far better than it smells; opens with a funky blend of licorice, rum raisin, apricot and toffee that is particularly herbacious - absolutely wild, in fact; after the swallow, the sweeter elements of toffee and licorice nip out the herbal and funky aspects but produce a compellingly complex finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body but overly carbonated
Drinkability: Despite my schizophrenic scoring, this beer is rather enjoyable to drink; just wish the smell and mouthfeel were as good as the flavor

Served around 50º cellar temperature...after the first pour, the bottle began to slowly foam while sitting upright. In the glass there was a copious amount of dense/sturdy eggshell foam. It had a hazy, rusty amber tone to it. Racing carbonation from the bottom of the glass, at the point where the bowl meets the stem.
Very doughy and twangy lemon in the nose.
Tastes of amber malt with muted spices, lingering orange peel and buttery biscuits. It has a light tartness, but not overtly sour. Saison -like with a steady flow of carbonation. Lightly dry in the finish.
Drinks very light & balanced. Perhaps the year plus of aging has sent the spices into the background. If you still have this vintage sitting around, break it out on a spring or summer afternoon with a cheese plate.

I had very high hopes for this beer as it cost me $6.99 from BierKraft in Brooklyn. As suggested on the label, I let it warm to just below cellar temperature (50º-53ºF) before tasting it.
It opened with a 'crack', and was a bit hard to pour as even the initial liquid foamed up immensely (not that hasn't happened to me with some of my favorite Belgian beers), but once that settled a bit I was able to fill the goblet. It delivered a cloudy deep-chestnut colored body beneath a thick-thumb of frothy yellowed-antique-white. Over time the head died down, but a continual creamy covering was maintained, and it left walls of thick and creamy lace about the glass. Nice!
The nose was yeasty and spicy. The label reads that it's made with 6 aroma hops, but I didn't really get a whole lot of hops at all - what was there was floral and spicy (although the spice may have been from the yeast).
Although it had a massive carbonation to begin with, most of that was released during the pour, and it was gently effervescent with a tingle on the tongue and a smooth, medium-light body.
The flavor was very much as the nose indicated, with spice and yeast (that's both "yeast", and yeasty fruitiness) over a lightly sweet, subtly candyish, mildly chocolate-tinged malt, and an alcohol-soaked raisin side. The bitterness was brisk and solid underneath, and it finished dry with a wash of alcohol and some lingering spice (seems almost like dull nutmeg and all-spice, but it's probably clove).
Overall, I found it to be poorly made, with characteristics of a high fermentation temperature; and a general lack of interesting character, and by that I mean that it lacked flavor - it certainly has a large amount of flavor - it doesn't seem to have any real depth or complexity. Maybe I had a bad bottle. Maybe it was poorly stored. But as a professional brewer for over a decade, I think I can see through that... this is just not focused enough.

Sampled 8-1-2007. I have actually had this beer several times prior to now. Somehow I never took the time to review it. I guess I was too busy enjoying it at Spuyten Duyvil to care about reviews.
Pours a dark brownish with orange tint and it is completely clouded. Nice crème head. Spices are on the nose as in an airy light orange citrus. Flavor is a thick mix of spices. That is the astounding theme here. Spices and a bit of funk. I feel like just biting into a thick bloody steak as I drink this. Feel has an attacking carbonation that is firm on the tongue. Liquid is pretty well bodied too. I say this is very drinkable, though the mass of spices assaulting the palate will definitely turn some people off. But hey, I like it. Enough to have had it a third time already.

Thoroughly over carbonated, the beer starts to foam up as soon as I pop the cap, this active bottle is definitely sitting in the sink where it can foam at its leisure. I am able to get maybe two-fingers of beer in my glass with the rest being foam, including a good two-fingers above the rim of my glass. The head is a light tan color and sits on top of a reddish-pink tinged, copper colored brew that is almost brilliantly clear. The aroma is quite interesting, a mix of damp, earthy / musty notes, ripe fruit and malt. Amped up notes of red apple, plums, candied tropical fruit are offset by a mix of malt and funky notes. The malt leans toward toasted grain, crushed malt and biscuit notes while the funky notes provide an overripe fruitiness and a touch of musty funk.
Lightly sweet, but it finishes with a sharp, substantial bitterness as well as a bit of musty funkiness. The beer is quite light bodied, almost surprisingly given the perceived sweetness, though I think a lot of the sweetness is accentuated by the amped up fruit character of this brew. The fruit notes lean towards a mix of strawberries, rip melons, berries, plum and blood oranges. The fruitiness seems a bit over-ripe, which is really where the funkiness comes in to play, but there is a light, musty, damp earthiness here that contributes lightly to the flavor profile. The malt character has all but dissapeared from the flavor, probably reduced by whatever bug has dried this out.
What a strange beer, the mix of hop focus (which has clearly mellowed with age) and weird fruity funkiness (was this even intended) can be a bit confusing at times. I admit though that the two don't really get in the way of each other. While this may not be the exact vision of the brewer (though maybe it is), it is certainly an interesting, engaging and tasty brew. In the end this is definitely a hop dominated brew, especially since the malt character has been reduced so much by the "wild" bug, but I like the light funky influence.

Fresh on tap at Lord Hobo in Cambridge, MA
Absolute no head at all, even with a two foot pour. At first I thought wasn't even any bubbles but on very close inspection there are some minuscule bubbles on a quarter of the rim. Obviously no head. Dark amber color with strong orange overtones. Some haze.
Strong licorice aroma (anise?). Smells medicinal.
Interesting flavor of caramel and sweet cherry. The anise is present, but less so. Very unusual. Soft and short aftertaste. Great combination of sweetness and licorice. Full bodied with nearly no carbonation.

Appearance: 2006 version. Pours a hazy copper orange color with a fluffy 3" head that lasts a long time. Nice lacing develops during the session.
Smell: big fruity nose with some yeast tones.
Taste: caramel, yeast, ripe red fruits, pepper spice, hearty bitterness, and a hint of alcohol. Full flavored beer here.
Mouthfeel: prickly crispness at the start while the finish is crisp and dry.The flavors linger briefly on the tongue after swallowing. Medium bodied beer.
Drinkability: easy to quaff for the style. Beer was expensive at $14.99 for a bomber bottle, so multi-bottle purchases seem unlikely. Was it worth $14.99 ? That's up for debate, but the beer is very tasty.

Thanks to Doppel07/Whaleman for this...
Appears an orange amber with a fluffy light tan head. Tons of scattered lacing is left around the glass.
Smell is of a decent hop presence that is sweet, along with a malt presence that contains notes of herbs, citrus, vanilla cream, and mild toasted nuts.
Taste is of the same aromas with the same sugary blend that seems to fit together in an interesting mix.
Mouthfeel is sweet up front and fading to the back of the tongue in a medium bodied brew.

This beer foamed out of the bottle like a volcano and kept foaming out of the bottle even after I'd poured two chalices. Unbelievable! The foamiest beer I've ever had. The aroma is lightly spicy and toasty with cinammon, clove, apricot, and a tannic finish. The flavor is even spicier, and is similar to the aroma. There is also a woodiness to the beer that balances the spiciness. Very dry and tannic, not very creamy, but not rough either. There is a bitter herbalness to this beer as well, but it tastes more like sage than hops. Very interesting. Pretty drinkable, a little intense to have much, but interesting enough to keep quaffing. Very nice to see this beer available in the states.I'll definitely be trying some more of their offerings.

This is a 330 mL flip top bottle.
A: The ale is dark in color with a thick ring of head that twice overflowed.
S: The ale has a musky yeast aroma that implies a good bit of strength in the ale.
T: The ale has a strong alcohol flavor that is underscored by alefruits, some figs and dates primarily.
M: The mouthfeel is a little rough, as the yeast and the alcohol give the beer a strong flavor.
D: Not a bad beer but nowhere near the best in the nebulous style.

Bottle purchased at Five Points Bottle in Athens, GA.
Pours a very hazy golden color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of light malts with mild amounts of breadiness. Also present are slightly funky light fruits - pears and green apples.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Crisp light malt flavors kick things off with funky and mildly tart pear flavors. Midway through the sip the fruit flavors sweeten a bit and indistinct spicy flavors join in, carrying through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a smooth thickness with grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is also very good. I finished my glass very quickly and could easily have a few more.
Overall this wasn't as good as the normal Abbaye de St. Bon Chien but it seems like a lightly spiced version that's still good. Worth a shot.

A careful pour produces a clear golden amber colored elixir with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly but leaves a cap on top and some lacing on the sides. Smells of citrus and phenolics, plums, spicy yeast and funk. Taste is tart and fruity with a barnyard edge. Finishes sweet with a bit of astringency and leaves a lingering tart bitterness on the tongue. Crisp carbonation, sticky mouthfeel, medium to thick body. Nice little saison, bier de garde. Tart and fruity I enjoyed this one. If only it wasn't so pricey.

I picked up this bottle for $8 (way expensive) in Boston. The bottle was capped Grolsch-style flip-top, and when I popped it there was a little foam spillage. The beer was really hazy, orange colored, with surprisingly little foam given the situation when I opened the bottle. The aroma was complex I guess, possibly it could be described as a mess but I liked all the funkiness. It was earthy and musty, smelling a lot like a sour wild ale. I don't think I'd call this a Belgian dark ale, I think it's mis-categoried on BA. The taste is sour and funky, very tasty but maybe difficult to rate too high on drinkability. I can't pound a beer like this, it's more of a contemplative sipper.

Served from bottle into in a Duvel tulip. Poured a massively hazy yellow-orange with loads of sediment with a one finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount quite quickly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, bread, slight hops, and a subtle sour note. The flavor was of sweet malt, bread, very slight hops, and sour apple. It had a light feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a pretty nice refreshing brew. The flavor was quite nice and the aroma was good as well. The sour note of this one stole the show for me and made me enjoy it even more. However, I am a big fan of the sour, so if you aren't you might not enjoy this one as much. Glad I picked this one up and that it is still available in my area.

Setting the stage for a long-term industry battle over document formats, Microsoft Corp. Tuesday unveiled the formation of a technical community of developers to promote the OpenXML (Extensible Markeup Language) format as an international standard.
In a keynote address at the Microsoft Office System Developers Conference in Redmond, Washington, on Tuesday, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates launched Microsoft's effort, called the OpenXML Formats Developer Group. The community's Web site can be found here: http://www.openxmldeveloper.org
According to that site, about 40 technology companies -- including big names such as Intel Corp., Apple Computer Inc. and many lesser-known companies such as Mathsoft Engineering and Education Inc. and NextPage Inc. -- have joined in the effort to learn how to use and support OpenXML on any platform.
The OpenXML developer effort rivals a recently launched group called the ODF Alliance, aimed at promoting another standard, Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), for office documents. Information on the ODF Alliance, which boasts high-profile Microsoft rivals such as IBM Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc. and Novell Inc. as members, can be found at http://www.odfalliance.org/about.html
The mission of the new OpenXML group is to "serve as a technical resource for OpenXML developers to submit and answer technical questions and to share tools and ideas around OpenXML Formats-based solutions," according to the site. Membership in the group is open to anyone for free, Microsoft said.
As launched, the effort seems to be little more than a forum for finding and exchanging information about using OpenXML. However, it does show that Microsoft is stalwart in its effort to promote its own proposed standard over ODF even as some of its biggest competitors are committed to pushing ODF.
Microsoft announced its plan to submit OpenXML document formats to the international standards body Ecma last November. At the time, the move was seen as an attempt to counter the growing momentum behind ODF, which is overseen by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) consortium.
Microsoft also faced criticism for the guidelines it presented to Ecma for how OpenXML formats will be standardized. One industry group, the Computer & Communications Industry Association, said those guidelines indicated that Microsoft may still retain ultimate control of the formats even as those go through the open process of becoming a global standard.
Many believe all of the jockeying for position for document standards was spurred by a high-profile technology proposal in the U.S. state of Massachusetts that may result in the state's government agencies phasing out Microsoft Office in favor of software that supports ODF. At this time, the state appears to be moving forward with its transition to ODF even though the chief information officer who introduced the plan, Peter Quinn, left his post in late December amid public scrutiny that he said was disrupting his life.
