et al., Roald Hoffmann
Nobel Prize winner in chemistry; author of, most recently,
Old Wine, New Flasks and co-writer (with Carl Djerassi) of the
play Oxygen
In a 1993 book (Chemistry Imagined: Reflections on Science)
I write about the time in 1947 when I was 10 years old. We were in a
DP ("displaced persons") camp in Wasseralfingen, then in
the French Occupation Zone of postwar Germany, waiting for a visa to
come to the United States. I read much, and somehow there came my
way two books, biographies of scientists. One was of George
Washington Carver, the black agricultural chemist, the other of
Marie Curie by her daughter Eve. I read both in German translation.
In the story of Carver I was fascinated by the transformations he
wrought with the peanut and the sweet potato. Ink and coffee from
peanuts, rubber and glue from the sweet potato! Perhaps part of the
romance was that I had never seen or tasted either peanuts or sweet potatoes.
My Polish background certainly provided a ground of empathy for
watching Manya Sklodowska transformed into Marie Curie. But Eve
Curie's story touched something deeper. I remember to this day the
scene when Pierre and Marie completed the painstaking isolation of a
tenth of a gram of radium from a ton of crude pitchblende. They put
the children to bed and walked back to their laboratory. I must
quote now, from Vincent Sheean's translation:
. . . "Don't light the lamps!" Marie said in the
darkness. Then she added with a little laugh, "Do you remember
the day when you said to me 'I should like radium to have a
beautiful color'?" The reality was more entrancing than the
simple wish of long ago. Radium had something better than "a
beautiful color": It was spontaneously luminous. And in the
somber shed where . . . the precious particles in their tiny glass
receivers were placed on tables or on shelves nailed to the wall,
their phosphorescent bluish outlines gleamed, suspended in the
night?. Their two faces turned toward the pale glimmering, the
mysterious sources of radiation, toward radium—their radium.
Her body leaning foward, her head eager, Marie took up again the
attitude which had been hers an hour earlier at the bedside of her
sleeping child . . . .
Years have passed. The boy whose interest in science was stirred by
German translations of a story of a black American applied scientist
and a French-Polish woman chemist is older. He rereads these books,
and sees that they are hagiographies. The romance is off the radium.
But Marie Curie still makes him cry.

Happy Birthday to Alvin! August 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of Alvin, the submersible that has been so influential in ocean research, including the discovery of hydrothermal vents. In 2014, a retrofitted Alvin also took its first test cruise.
Heather Olins, a doctoral candidate at Harvard, studies microbial ecology at deep sea hydrothermal vents with the help of Alvin, and shares her personal tribute to the submersible on these landmark occasions.

How did a group of punk kids from the barrio pull all this off? They set high goals and played tons of small shows, says Angel "Honeydripper" Salgado, the bubbly frontman and rhythm guitarist.
Their style follows Los Lobos, Cannibal and The Headhunters, Thee Midniters, well-known Mexican American bands that have come out of the area. They too have not pigeonholed themselves as a Latino band, but have covered Rocksteady'd funk classics like "Express Yourself" and "I'll Take You There" that appeal to people of all cultures.
Their eight current members are between the ages of 20 and 25, except for their new horns player, Eitan Avineri, 38, who plays trumpet and is a producer for the band Western Standard Time. The founding members are Joseph Quiñones, Salgado, and Anthony Medina. They've also added a new 25-year-old female vocalist to hit their falsettos, Scarlett Brais.

12.12.06 Strobe Lights (Formerly Snackage)
You there, against the wall ? drop the Dixie cup and get out on the dance floor. Under the flickering lights, behold!
? I just relaunched my author site to include a deeper archive of clips and a Flickr site of photos, doodles and found art. Fun stuff.
? The unstoppable force for good known as Kim and Jason Kotecki have done a sweet redesign of their website devoted to Adultitis, the Jason-named condition marked by over-seriousness, chronic dullness and all the other assorted qualities rejuveniles seek to avoid. Take the online intake questionaire and begin your treatment today!
? If ever there was a worthwhile political campaign for rejuveniles, this is it: preservationists are rallying to stop demolition of an amazing little playground in San Gabriel. I discovered Monster Park a few years ago while hunting for a soup dumpling joint: there, tucked beside a storm drain amidst drab suburban sprawl was a cluster of odd concrete figures ? a dinosaur, an octopus, a whale ? all of which you could slide and climb and scramble all over. It?s the sort of weird, wonderful, probably-unsafe-but-delightfully-so place for kids that you never see anymore. Even if you?ll never make it to San Gabriel to see it yourself, trust me: sign the petition and join the effort to stop the Man from slaying these lovable monsters to make room for another bland, padded plastic-composite play structure. (Link via Spike Brower, who used Monster Park as a principal location in his terrific short film The Fish Burglars)
? Bond goes rejuvenile: In a clever co-opting of moves that mix Kung Fu grace with Spiderman daring-do, the new Bond movie Casino Royale gets an thrilling kick from the age-norm-busting urban gymnastic known as parkour. Producers cast Sebastien Foucan, the parkour pioneer featured in chapter 3 of Rejuvenile, as Mollaka the Bomb-Maker, who leads Bond on an intense opening foot chase. Not shabby for a 36-year-old dad.
? Here?s a culinary event for rejuveniles ? the Grilled Cheese Invitational, an annual meeting of gooey sandwich connoisseurs described as ?part competition, part fashion disaster and part rave potluck.? (thanks to best teevee critic ever Heather Havrilesky for tip)
? Trendspotters Buzzfeed did a nice roundup on adult enthusiasm for Legos, which I write about in chapter 2 of Rejuvenile. The Buzzfeed piece links to a bunch of sites by AFOL?s (Adult Fans of Lego), including one by former JPL engineer and entrepreneur Phillip Alvelda who says Legos were a ?transformative toy for me that unleashed my imagination around the realization that I could build ANYTHING.? (Thanks to reader Brian Vartabedian for the link)

RE: Henry at Oakhill
You're welcome;I had been working in the Rev. Stockdale family plot of Oak Hill Cemetery and while driving out the distinctive shape of an MTA (Mosaic Templars of America) headstone in an old section of the cemetery caught my eye. A little leg work confirmed it's origin, as well as the presence of a Spanish American War period 3rd Alabama VA stone and another of the vice president of an 1860's African American group.

Cornelia Evans Denison
She has a beautiful marker, although it is broken. I was told years ago that she (and others?) was buried in a small private cemetery, but was reinterred at First Street Cemetery a long time ago. I believe she was listed in its 1962 cemetery survey.
The woman who has her memorial basically doesn't respond to corrections, tho the automated SACs will happen after 30 days. Please let me know if you add anything about her.

Jason and Broadus Cemetery Aka St.Mary's
I sent you the photo's. Also there isn't one made for John Wier. I was afraid to move the part of his headstone that was blocking his mane. It sits right before Henery Wier. As you get up the steps.
I am related to the Weirs in Henry IL. But there has to be a connection to the one's in Lacon.But I haven't made the connection yet.
Are you related to them. Also did you want to make the memorial for John Wier. or do you want me to.

Jordan and Mary Williams
I visited this cemetery and took the photos. I also added all of the interred from a historical record of the cemetery after visiting the Court House and the historical society. When I was there, the markers of my ancestors Jordan and Mary were there. Jim Williams, now deceased let a message in a zip lock bag tied to a marker which allowed me to gather more family history on the Williams and the Thompsons. The family that owns the property was very helpful in allowing me to make the visit. As I recall Jim told me someone had taken some of the markers and he located them and saw that they were returned to the cemetery. Jeri

Inquiry re Charles Broadwater
Hello Ray,
Thank you for maintaining the memorial pages for the Charles Broadwater (15108347) Family. My husband is a descendent of Charles Broadwater, and we wanted to visit the grave site next month on a visit to Virginia. Just wondering if you had an exact address for the grave site(s)? It sounds like the burial location is in a housing development.
Thanks for your time, and for being such a dedicated member of the Find A Grave family.

4.97/5 rDev +30.4%
From 02-22-06 bottle date.
Pours a dark brown/black with a think billowing tan head. lacing is nice.
This is the most chocolate dominant stout I have smelled as of yet.
Smells of a chocoalte malt. After that, dark fruits and some moca latte come through. Light alcohol. Maybe even some smoke come through. Exceptional smell.
Taste is chocolate bitterness up front. Holy maltded stout grail! This is great! I am drinking a malted milk with alcohol! A nice oily hop bitterness burns the back of your tounge. I need not say any more...but let you try the taste of this.
Moutfeel is sweet and creamy. Like a whipped malted milk.
This drinks easy for a imperial stout..but then again..most imperial stouts drink easy for me....(i am biased with this style).
This is one of my all time favorite stouts now. I love it. Exceptional...SmMMMoooth!

4.88/5 rDev +28.1%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle. Leaves a one finger biege head that fades slowly to long lasting surface skim, and it leaves some spotty lacing. Body is black.
Smell - strong scent of dark chocolate fills the nose, with secondary aromas of toffee, plums, maltbread, and with hints of coffee and hints of spicy and medicinal alcohol. Mouthwatering.
Taste - as promised by the smell. Dark chocolate with toffee, plums, maltbread, and coffee. Warm, slightly medicinal, spicy alcohol on the finish. Very hearty and delicious.
Mouthfeel - full bodied, chewy, quite dry.
Drinkability - this is a very good ale, its sessionability only being hampered by its high abv.

Pours black with a nice big brown head with some ruby hints around the edge. Huge roasted aromas mixed in with some nice chocolate tones. Nice big chocolatey tones start you off on this one Super sweet dark chocolate carries you through until the roasted maltiness takes over towards the end. Big roasted maltiness finishes the brew off with a touch of bitter roastedness and a lot of sweet maltiness. Big chocolate tastes make this brew a chocoholic's dream and defintiely worth me buying again for $3.95 a bomber. Very smooth and a nice heavy body make this extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended to those who can get it.

Took me long enough to try this one. I used to sell it as a distributor!
this brew pours dark brown in color with a big tan head. Great lacing. Wow! the nose is dark malts, rich chocolate, sweet malts. the taste is the same as the nose but waaay richer tasting chocolate. A big Stout! chocolate out the ass! full bodied, low carbo, good ol' Left Hand...

22oz bottle with no drink by date to be found
Got it Big Cs in Orlando, found bombers there with drink by dates of 2005! Guessing this is around 3 or 4 years since the original brew date.
Pours chocolate brown with same color head, as it settles it chunks up lacing to the sides, really nice. Its somewhat transparent wich is odd for an imperial stout
Smells of chocolate, cherries, dark fruits, hint of expresso, and a whiff of the 10% alcohol, its mellow and blends with the remaining scents. Absolutley loved the smell of this beer, found myself swirling and sniffing throughtout drinking which I rarely do.
The taste is same as the smell, grains and creamy chocolate dominating with each following sip, dark fruits complimenting it. This is one of the most well blended beers i've had. Reminds me more of a Belgian Strong Dark Ale. This might be attributed to the age. I read several reviews stating the hop bitterness was out of balance, but mine had almost no hop presense what so ever.
Mouthfeel is creamy, rich, medium-full bodied, with a perfect amount of carbination. A bit of film is left in the mouth after each sip, but its welcomed as it keeps the flavors alive on the palate.
I found this dangerously drinkable because of the great flavor... at 10% its a sipper, but i found myself sipping in quick intervals.
Girlfriend and I really loved this beer! Honestly it doesn't fit the style exactly, but all I look for is good quality. Def recommend this for cellaring for those out there with the resources.

02/19/08- Purchased at Sun Devil Liquors in Mesa, AZ.
Presentation- 22oz bottle with no freshness info on the bottle or label. Poured into a random pint glass.
Appearance- Deep brown, approaching black in color. 1/2 inch pour which lessens quickly into a light rim. Lacing is light and streaky.
Smell- All the scents a good RIS should have. A bit of chocolate, a touch of coffee and some roasted malts. Could be a bit more forthcoming though. What is there is nice though.
Taste- Damn, this one is a chocolate lovers dream. Kinda of a mixture of creamy milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. Not really much dark chocolate. The smallest hint of coffee beans in the swallow. Malts are roasted, but not that heavily. Light...very light bitterness from either the hop of chocolate flavors. Like a carbonated milkshake. Damn tasty.
Mouthfeel- Lightly creamy with just a tad too high carbonation. Almost perfect.
Drinkability- I could drink this all night. Dessert beer all the way to have with a rich chocolate torte. Good beer for chocolate lovers, if you are the standard RIS lover (deep burnt malts and coffee), you may not like it quite as much. Superior tasting beer for me who likes both.

Had this on tap at Pitcher's Pub. Very dark brown like most Imperial Stouts. Smells of malts and roasted goodness. I was expecting a bitter beer, but maybe because it was on tap this was a very smooth drinking imperial stout and it didn't leave much of the bitter alcohol taste in my mouth. I could drink this beer again and again on tap.

22oz bottle obtained via trade with BierReise. Thanks for the opportunity...
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/2" of slightly light brown head above the almost-opaque-but-not-quite dark, dark mahogany brew. Malty, somewhat sweet aroma, with a touch of cereal, I think. Taste is excellent, nice and malty, yet a bit of restraint on the sometimes bitter super-dark malts. Very tasty. Seems a bit low on the carbonation, but imperials sometimes have that tendency, so we'll overlook that today. Also ends with a nice warming down to the tummy, but at a pleasant "I'm here" level, not the "hit you over thead" level. Worth seeking out, for sure.

4.55/5 rDev +19.4%
Pours out deep crimson brown and sits nearly black, a few strands of crimson shine though. A large tan head is formed, fading to a light skim and offers a nice display of lacings around the glass.
Smells intensely roasted, rich coffee and chocolate aromas. Raisins and dates are abundant and mingle with the tangy aroma of alcohol, tickling the back of the nose. Light wooden character, some spiciness as well..
Tastes big and sweet up front, loads of rich malty goodness pours out over your toungue. Apples and raisins provide a nice fruity taste and deep roasted coffee balances it out. Some toffee flavors sweeten the deal and are paired with dark chocolate flavors as well. Alcoho provides a nice warming glow, and a dash of pepper. Finish is nicely bittered and laced with plenty of rich coffee flavors.
Sinfully smooth and creamy in the mouth, with light carbonation on the sides. Slides around the mouth like a pad of butter in a hot pan, goes down just as easy. Perfection in the mouth.
A solid Impy all the way. Quality breakfast material, you could eat this with a fork. Delicious...oh yeah.

A - Poured a thick black, extremely opaque. A small tan head was evident immediatly. This faded very quickly but left behind a decent amount of lace in its wake.
S - The smell was very strong. Huge aromas of chocolate shake. Very big creamy full bodied smell. Lots of hints of milk and sugar, maybe some cookie dough, very very yummy smelling.
M & T - Wow, soo creamy and smooth, like chocolate mousse going down, really very good. This was the pure defination of a dessert beer. Lots of flavors of chocolate cappucino, milk, sugar all are readily apparent and very enjoyable. The alcohol made its presence slighltly known with a small residual warming feeling that bottomed out in the belly.
D - Overall this was awesome, easily one of the best Imperial Stouts I have ever tasted. Very smooth, I could easily drink this all night long, highly recommended, Awesome!!

4.53/5 rDev +18.9%
Appearance: pitch black with a dark tan creamy head that was about 3/4 of an inch. Lacing really stuck down the glass.
Smell: Dark roasted malt with hints of chocolate, toffee and coffee. Also subtle aromas of fig and dried fruit like raisin and prune.
Taste: The first flavor i get is chocolate, i almost thought it was a chocolate stout at first. A slight hop bitterness on the end but this one on the overall i would certainly classify as being on the sweet side, still very tasty.
Overall: WHere is the 10% a/c! this beer is very delicious and deceptively easy to drink. I would say it tastes more like an american double stout than a RIS, but either way don't let the overall rating sway you! this beer kicks ass!

Okay, I know mom works for Left Hand so I'm a bit biassed but I truly, honestly have never had a better imperial stout than Left Hand's. (and I've tried a lot of them) I think what sets this one apart is that it's got a great aroma, a nice, sweet taste and then levels out at the end. It doesnt bite you (in terms of bitters) like most imperial stouts will. Needless to say, there are several of these babies in my fridge. Great for drinking on a cold, winter day. It'll warm you right up. :)
Oh, I've also had it on tap and on nitro at the brewery. The nitro is amazing. Talk about smooth.

355ml brown bottle poured into a Delirium Tremens branded snifter. BBE Date 03/09/10.
A. Deep black with a milky coffee coloured head.
S. Sweet malt, coffee, bitter chocolate, dark fruits and a slight hint of smokiness.
T. Strong coffee and liquorice with some chocolate. I can also detect a certain creaminess that is associated with some bourbons I really enjoy. A good hop finale.
M. Full bodied, chewy and oily.
D. A deliciously sweet stout that belies its 10.4%ABV. Deceptively drinkable, I personally think Great Divide's Yeti was better but will still be interested in how this stout fares against Avery's Mephistopholes Stout and Goose Islands Bourbon County Stout when I eventually get around to drinking them.

This beer is good. I really enjoy the coffee, cocoa, and other great flavors. This stout was a good example of what a standard (ie not chocolate, milk, oatmeal) should taste like. The only thing I would have liked for this stout is for it to be a darker color. It was a little on the porter side than a stout.
Overall, this is a great Left Hand BC stout! Enjoy this brew!

A-Almost perfect for style. Black as espresso, but LED backlight shows reddish hue. Pour (at 55F) produces a 2 finger beige head which dissipates to a thin pancake which lasts as long as the glass. Patchy lacing remains.
S-Fresh bread, Burnt caramel, brown sugar, licorice.
T-Rich. Tastes like it smells, only more complex, more complete. The expected sweetness is almost, but not quite balanced by hop bitterness.
M-Full, slightly syrupy, satisfying.
D- Very good. Easy drinkability belies its considerable alcohol content. This is a substantial brew, as much sustenance as it is beverage. Perfect for a bracer after a long day on the slopes, or after a couple hours spent shoveling out the driveway.

Pours with a two-finger light brown head that fades slowly and leaves some lace. Totally black color. Medium carbonation and heavy bodied. Nose is sweet chocolate/caramel. Starts with a chocolate/caramel flavor, finishes sweet and mellow. Easy to drink, alcohol is not noticeable their site has it at 9.5%. $2.75 for a 12 oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA. Bottled on 8/10/2004.

4.47/5 rDev +17.3%
Appearance: Black with some red-brown highlights when held to the light. A tiny layer of head that dissipates quickly and remains as a ring bordering the blackness. It has a heavy appearance to it, without being thick and syrupy.
Smell: Rich, oaky, brown sugar smell. Under that, baker's chocolate. As it warms a bit, the smell is really developing. I'm smelling warm molasses and black liquorice, fresh ground coffee beans.
Taste: Good deal of bitterness, like an oak-aged type. It lingers nicely afterwards for a great while. A warm alcohol feeling chases the flavor down. I feel the hops are more powerful than the malt, but it does really nice. As it warms, the flavor profile changes a bit. It feels sweeter and thicker; really great flavor. It feels like the rest of the beer is trying to fill in the gap left by the hops. Wow, I'm really enjoying this as it warms.
Mouthfeel: Just enough carbonation to highlight the intense flavor when it's sitting there. I feel like it's in the middle for a Russian Imperial Stout; it's not viscous and it's not thin for the style.
Drinkability: A lot of flavor. I wouldn't crave this in quantity, but I would definitely crave two of these. A pretty magnificent taste. I would really appreciate this with some food to complement it. It would definitely hold its own in flavor paired with any dish.
Addendum: I finished the last one-sixth of this with a bit of extra sharp cheddar left in the fridge, and it was wonderful. They both bring the flavor out in each other very well. Everytime I went from one to the other, it was great. Every nibble and sip was just perfect. Sorry to any of you cheese connoisseurs, but I am loyal to chunks of extra sharp cheddar. It's a throwback to childhood.

2 1/2 years later, I review again, this time not from a bomber, but a 12 ounce bottle, not in the cold of winter, but the heat of June, and with more experience behind my belt...
Deep black color, with crimson highlights around the edges, very small head, if any...
Aroma is thick, rich and huge....dark rum, carob, molasses, massive coffee and chocolate, big-time roastiness...a cavernous depth, dark delights,...
Taste: vast feel in the mouth, coasts the entirety of the sense, paints the corners of the palate with decadent deliciousness....an excellent Imperial Stout...yum, yum, yum, and alcohol says, "here I am", but it's welcome now, it holds our hand, and it hides iin the stairway, and it hangs in the curtain, and it sleeps in your hat.
Most splendiferous....top notch IS, I'll gladly reach for more1
(thanks for the re-visit, Chaz!)

Left Hand Imperial Stout into Stone IRS tulip
Probably the lightest impy stout I have seen, ever, yet still looks acceptable for the style. Deep brown/mahagony body with lots of brown, red, and gold highlights around the edge, and you can almost see light through the body. The head is two fingers deep of tiny bubbles made of beige with great retention and nice sticky lace.
Nose is sweet dark caramels, roasted malt, light milk chocolate, anise, alcohol, dark fruits. Not intense, but well balanced and intriguing.
Taste is more of the nose, but with more power. Burnt dark caramel, roasted malt, black cherries, baker's dark cocoa powder, and bitter pine needle hopping and alcohol sweetness on the end.
Mouthfeel is medium to heavy with a chewy consistency and lots of tiny bubbles that struggle to break free from the liquid. Spot of, very near perfect for the style. Not stupidly heavy and overboard, just correct for the style.
Drinkability is quite high, but considering it's light bodied to compared to others of the style, it's kind of expected. Easy to drink, without any hindering alcohol or overpowering presence of any taste characteristics. As it warms it becomes brilliant; understated and overlooked in a field full of great choices.

This page was inspired by hearing of so many animals in need.
There are numerous suffering and needy animals that it can be overwhelming trying to decide which one you can afford to help. One person cannot help them all, until now:
For just $1
This group is based on the idea that if a large amount of people would chip in $1 each, a huge amount can be raised in a short amount of time.
Often, someone gets involved in trying to save the life of a sick or injured animal. The costs associated with this can be astronomical and can deplete even the richest bank accounts. Sometimes, an animal's life is ended because the cost of care is too high for just one person or group to afford.
That is where The Dollar Club comes in!
With this new concept, we have found a way for everyone who can come up with a single dollar to help!
Here is how it works:
When we come upon an urgent situation we post the story
and on facebook. We include both a mailing address and a PayPal address and ask you to remit your $1.00.
So how does this help and what happens with all these dollar bills? They will add up quickly and will help the needy animal get the emergency vet care they need to survive. But, best of all, YOU get to feel GREAT for being a part of saving that animals life...
All for $1
If you would like to be part of this awesome group,
just bookmark this page and come visit often. Or, 'like' our facebook page and keep us in your newsfeeds so you are alerted when a request is being made.
***You are never forced to contribute***
this is strictly volunteer.
The Dollar Club highlights severe cases and emergencies that need money to save a life rather than everyday situations. Those are usually reserved for fundraising and donations by individual groups. We will help with food for managed cat colonies and spay/neuter when the budget allows.

Chiropractic Care and Rehabilitation If you have back trouble, chiropractic care might be for you. But is chiropractic care the best choice for you? Doctors prescribe chiropractic care as a complement to traditional medicine. Considering the lack of prescription drugs and the conservative nature of the practice, chiropractic care is often recommended for people who are skeptical of modern medicine. Chiropractors work alongside other health care professionals to provide the best and most comprehensive care possible for their patients. Putting bones back in their correct alignment is how people used to define chiropractic care. Bones that are out of place were reputed to cause interference between the nerves in the spine, so pushing those bones back into place was supposedly the best way to reduce that interference. Chiropractic care in the modern sense corrects joint issues by using soft tissue therapy. Soft tissue therapy involves touching trigger points and using massage and stretches to manipulate the body and break down resistance in the muscles. Another set of elements used in modern chiropractic care are those involved in physical therapy. These include electrical current, heat, and cold. Healing of inflammation is encouraged through these elements. Chiropractic care also prescribes exercises used in regular rehabilitation to promote flexibility, strength, and endurance. These things are supposed to assist the patient with recovering from injury and preventing future injuries. A chiropractor will also teach their patients about injuries, posture, and lifestyle choices that can prevent further issues.
The Ultimate Guide to Health
When you visit the chiropractor for the first time, you will receive a preliminary examination. Some elements of a preliminary exam include x-rays, a physical flexibility test, and the chiropractor's own investigation of problem areas in the back, neck, and shoulder area. A chiropractor will want to develop a plan of treatment for a patient if the exam indicates issues with certain sections of the patient's spine. Spinal weakness can eventually damage the nervous system, muscles, and soft tissues. Spinal problems can be degenerative.
The Beginner's Guide to Health
In order to become a chiropractor, a person must earn a formal university degree. Four years of undergraduate study will include such classes as research, nutrition, chiropractic sciences and technique, and clinical diagnosis. Another requirement is a clinical internship. Working chiropractors hold multiple degrees like a master's, a PhD, and a DC. For rehabilitation, there are several possible treatment situations a patient can find him- or herself in. Pain lasting for less than three weeks and the absence of significant trauma is indicative of "uncomplicated acute pain." When a patient has significant trauma, they could be experiencing "complicated acute and chronic pain," which lasts between three and six weeks. "Supportive care and/or elective care is the final situation for rehabilitation. Supportive care is for patients who continue to experience issues despite having been through treatment. Elective care is for patients who want to continue treatment to prevent any possible issues.

The reason for this is that he does not only need to be knowledgeable and skilled but ha also has to have the touch of creative genius in him.

Dentists – My Most Valuable Tips
Avoid making a mistake when choosing the right cosmetic dentist by reading the important qualifications of the professional below:
Case Study: My Experience With Dentists
You first have to know his educational and professional background; if he comes from a highly acclaimed institution then you are guaranteed of outstanding works from him too. Find a professional who has varied experiences; this means he is flexible and at the same time has been doing procedures for a long period of time. Dentists with more experiences has had long years of training, practice and lessons so they have become better and honed through the years they have been working. It is best to find a dentist that is located in the area near you for easier access and availability. There are some that have weird hour availability and you would want to be able to contact him easily without having to travel long hours. Aside form what the dentist can do, you should also pay attention to how he carries and takes care of his physical looks. Does he observe a clean work place and does he dress neatly? It's most likely that you will not let a dentist who is dirty and messy put his hands in your mouth; if he can't keep himself clean then it's a hundred percent sure that he cannot keep his tools clean and sanitized too. The dental organization has very strict rules in the sterilization of a dental clinic so as not to pose certain diseases that may be acquired through the dental treatment. Find out about their past patients and get images of the before and after shots so you can have a better idea on what the results on you may look as well.
What are Dental Implants? There has been a lot of progress in the dental industry in conducting treatments like dental implants. Is dental implant a method of replacing missing or extracted teeth? Like any cure that requires clinical procedures, dental implants take into account research based knowledge to be administered. Like any medical practice, a dentist performing teeth restoration is required to be well-versed on how the complete dental implant process works. To give you a better understanding of what dental implant is, its definition clearly states that it is a dental procedure that replaces the root of a tooth with a sturdy material. Like the natural tooth an implant will replace, it is anchored directly to the jawbone thus will not be visible. What is placed in the implanted material is the new denture that will restore any missing teeth. Titanium is the most common material used as the implant because of their qualities, and it is already proven to be compatible with the body as a replacement. The surgical uses of this kind of material is already the accepted standard in medicine. The number of positive results in dental implant is unmatched among other medical surgeries using the procedure. Using titanium as a medial implant material is the most ideal since it have a special property that allows it to be integrated with the bone. Why is this important? Bones are affected whenever a tooth is lost. A dental implant then become a necessary replacement to keep the bone and stabilize it. Implants do not only replace any loss of tooth but keep the bone from being destabilize and thus saving it also. This would mean that our face skeletal structure maintains its natural shape. Fake dentures prevents us sometimes to perform al the natural functionality of the mouth, but not so with a dental implant. A healthy social and physical life is the best reward we get from dental implants. How should I know if I need dental implants? Everybody who lost a tooth needs to have a dental implant. Any health disorder or any disease you have should first be determined before any implant procedure is undertaken. There are certain types of illness that may prevent the proper integration of the implant to the bone. Also, habits like excessive smoking and alcoholism are also not suitable for any implants. Before going to have any implant, discuss with your dentist all the medication you are taking, past and current. The dentist who will conduct the medical procedure is the most important factor to be considered before anyone can undertake the procedure. Everything hinges on the choice you make, it is your health that is at stake.

Choosing the Right Orthodontist You will never seek the help of an orthodontist for a lifetime, so, you need to be very careful when choosing the right person to perform the task. There are a lot of people who are opting to visit a dentist rather than set an appointment with an orthodontist. This is because people are thinking that they can save a good amount of money with dentists while enjoying the same kind of services.

That is why you need to look for the right treatment. How will you know that you are in the right person?
Why No One Talks About Orthodontics Anymore
You need to consider multiple things just to be sure that you are heading to the right person – the perfect orthodontist. sBelow are some of those:
A Quick Overlook of Doctors – Your Cheatsheet
– Good Credentials Do not believe an person who claims to be an orthodontist but does not have his credentials with him. Of course, you have to be sure of the person that you will trust with. With the authentic credentials, you can be sure that the person beside you is qualified to perform the task. – The Experiences (in terms of training and practice) It is a good to learn that your orthodontist have been treating the same orthodontic issue before. That is why you need to ensure that your orthodontist is qualified to complete the treatment. – Know the Treatment Options that are Available An orthodontist must know of various different types of treatments. That is why it would be better to know the possible options that you have before agreeing on a certain procedure. You also have to know about the the number of sessions that you are going to submit. You can ask for the right kind of treatment that you will need and do your research after knowing it. Most of the time, it is beneficial to have the surgery or treatment locally. – The Location of the Orthodontist The last thing that we will be talking about here is the location.

With this, a near clinic is very beneficial so it would be easier and lighter to do the visits. You can achieve to have the best orthodontist if you are determined to look for it. Do your part in making researches, surveys and looking for reliable referrals from friends or family.
What Happens At A Routine Dentist Check Up? Did you ever think on the things that are needed to become a dentist? Having the right training and educational degree is what you have to have to become a professional. But before even enrolling at the course, you must have that deep desire to serve and help people to becoming their healthiest. After all, it takes such dedication to put your hand in the mouths of different people to improve their oral health. Dentistry is the wide scope of study in the oral health of an individual; it's not only the teeth that concerns it but also the gums and the tissues that are all inside the mouth. Now, you have a better understanding when the dentist is looking at your mouth; he's not focusing on one tooth alone but the scope of the mouth that is still part of having healthy oral hygiene. Did you know that the tongue speaks a lot as far as the health is concerned? There are tongues that seem to be coated with a filmy covering. Part of their studies describe this as an excessive bacteria build up on the tongue. If not treated quickly, the bacteria can form into a serious infection. There will not be any build up if you clean your tongue as well as your teeth; remember to scrape what is left on the tongue. When you buy a set of toothbrushes make sure you buy the tongue scraper which is the tool for cleaning the tongue. It not only leaves the mouth clean but also eliminates the chance of you getting sick. On a regular check you may also notice the dentist to be checking at the tongue and gums for lesions. These spots are dangerous signs as they are signs of oral cancer. Smoking is the biggest factor that can lead someone to acquiring this terrible form of cancer. Anyone who sees what oral cancer looks like, will tell you that it's an ugly vision to see. And this is the reason who so many dentists tell their patients who smoke to stop before it's too late. Don't think that the mouth is just a small part of the human body because if not taken cared of it can be the cause of deadly diseases.
The 10 Best Resources For Teeth
The dental check up will also consist of a Gingivitis routine analysis. This condition is determined by the inflammation of the gums. The consequences of the Gingivitis are the sudden tooth loss. Luckily, modern medicine and technology makes this condition treatable. It's easy – just maintain a proper oral hygiene and you are safe from this.The Best Advice on Dentistry I've found
Discover Essential Things About Breast Health Are you aware that there are about ten percent of breast health challenges that are attributed to genes of family? Lifestyle issues, diets as well as environmental concerns are the rest of the percentage that could cause this health issue. In preventing cellular damage, antioxidants are primarily used, which became the common approach for aging, cancer as well as other known diseases today. In cancer prevention, antioxidants becomes very helpful mainly because of the reason that they are highly capable of stabilizing free radicals that are highly reactive; these free radicals are actually able to damage a person's DNA and progress to cancer. Breast care is very important among women especially to those who reach adulthood and in more mature ages. Recognizing the changes in the breasts including its feel and look is the key here. Every woman should know proper breast care because without it, they are susceptible to breast cancer. There is a big necessity in providing education amongst women about their breast and how to care for it as well as taking nutritional supplements to maintain its health with the current health of women across the globe. The very best program in avoiding any health issues in the breast is through prevention. It has been a very effective and efficient way in screening out the troubled areas to use thermography and self examination. Life is so important and being able to know the current health trend for women is a must. Everyone knows that lifestyle, stress relief and diet help in preventing breast disease however; only few people do this.
Health – Getting Started & Next Steps
In addition to that, it is deemed that women must not rely on their mammograms as well. Women are screened every after 3 years and in most instances, mammogram could only detect if there is a tumor in the breast by the time it has been growing for eight years. When the tumor has reach 10 years, it will be too late to cure. Another important thing that should be known about mammography is the fact that it can only screen sections of the breast where it could be clamp. Having that in mind, it will be impossible or difficult to screen areas of the breast that are in the center and even under armpits.
A 10-Point Plan for Wellness (Without Being Overwhelmed)
In the Chinese medical perspective, all parts of the body are interconnected. Having that in mind, it only means that exercise, mental health, menstruation also contributes to breast health. Undergoing a breast cancer screening on a regular basis is the most essential way of achieving a healthier life. An integral part of both treatment and prevention includes a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.
How can a woman be sure that she is choosing the right product for her breast enhancement goals? Aside from the data provided by a manufacturer, is there a way to get more information about how a product works or what type of experience other women have had? With Brestrogen, women are starting to see an increase in their bust size and their confidence. If a woman is still unsure about whether or not this is the right product for her, reading a Brestrogen breast augmentation review is an ideal opportunity to learn more.
Product reviews are not written by the manufacturer. Instead, women that have actually used the product take some time to write about their experiences. These reviews include information on how long a woman has been using Brestrogen, what she looked like before the product, and how her appearance has changed. Instead of listing out statistics, the reviews provide honest feedback, giving a potential Brestrogen user some idea of what to expect when using the product.
In reality, reviews can range in their opinion on a product. Some women will rave about their results while others will take a more pessimistic approach. A woman interested in Brestrogen should read several reviews to get a clear picture of what others think of the product. By reading critically, it is possible to find tips for getting the most out of the product and information on what things to avoid.
Everyone looks to their friends and family for information, advice, and suggestions on products to use. Recommendations on everything from the best hair salon in town to the best type of spaghetti sauce for dinner are often found using a network of women. When no one in the group has tried a product like Brestrogen, it makes sense that someone would go out searching for information from other women that have already tried the product.
Once the reviews are read, most women choose to take the plunge and try out Brestrogen for themselves. They hear the stories of women that have made significant changes in their lives because of their new look and they want to experience something similar.

Another new one for me, huge thanks to the halloween bif for getting me yet another beer i had never heard of before! poure into a pint glass and enjoyed on 10/22/2010.
good pour here with a clear amber color and lots of carbonation bubbling up in to a nice one inch head of white that really had some legs.
aroma is fresh hops, nice touches of citrus with hints of light pine and a nice mix of light buttery malts that could be picked up later in the session. near perfect medium feel led to an outstanding profile that featured just enough hops to make me a very, very happy man. nice dry finish with a good bit of grapefruit an pineapple.
overall a very solid offering and one that i would do again in a heartbeat.

Pours a murky brown with a reddish hue. Off white head and a fair amount of lacing. Real strong perume tones on the nose. Fruity tones that are extremely vibrant and full, but not massively defining the character. Flavor is a distinct bitter tone, but seems balanced by a load of malts. Thick and earthy. Heavier on the malt side it seems, but nice. Smooth feel. Very easy to drink. One of the more unique IPAs I have had in quitesome time.

Nice to see all of a sudden many of the hometown brewers bottling, thanks to the MKGFB, INC up in North Versailles this is the project with Rivertowne/North Country collaboration production brewers. Full Pint is th combined label, than each brewer is bottling certain brews as well. This is a nice local IPA for sure pours out a nice deep amber copper hue with a light off white cream colored head. Lacing was fine detailed evenly coating my imperial pint glass. Aroma has upfront hops with grapefruit/floral/citrus/earthy hops going on, a little bit of everything. Brewers Andrew Maxwell and Barret Goddard have fine tuned this recipe over 20 yrs according to the label. This is a quintessential Pittsburgh IPA, really quality big on malt and hops balanced and ballsy. Flavor is great I could only imagine what it would taste like with whole cone hops, these hop pellets are detectable in this beer. Not off putting with the pellets but it's evident in this case. Hop bitterness upfront with a nice balancing act with the caramel bread malts, finishes with hops across the palate coated on the teeth. Earhy, herbal, citrus rind hops are aggressive but definitely an enjoyable creation overall. Mouthfeel is medium bodied sturdy carbonation, these guys are making some nice beers I will continue to support the local guys. Drinkability overall like I said enjoyable packed full of flavor light years ahead of Church Brew Works bottled offerings, it's time for Scott Smith to befriend these guys and package some Kvass so I can have some trade bait.

On tap at the POPE, Philly, PA.
Copper pour with a half inch or so of foamy white head; good retention and a bit of lacing. Pretty mild aroma, vegetal, leafy hops, worty malt. Taste was pretty bland, but very bitter. Too bitter actually, even for an IPA, mainly in that it lacked any fresh hoppy goodness. Pine needles and grass, and a very bland malt base. Light-medium body, dry, thin and watery mouthfeel. Was not a fan of this one.

Served on-tap in Monroeville.
A: The IPA is a full amber color, golden possibly in lighter conditions. As it is, I can't see through it. A half a finger of dense white foam arrived with the glass.
S: The nose is piquant, nicely spiced with an excess of citrusy, floral hops. The ale isn't all hops though, with a streak of caramel malts cutting through it.
T: A refreshing IPA, this is long on hoppy flavor without sacrificing the malts. Citrus and flowers, with a hint of pine resin, drive the hoppy side. The flavors are sharp but not too bitter. Caramel malts are abundant, strengthed as compared to Pucker Up. Overall, the IPA hits the spot without too much boozy or bitterness.
M: The mouthfeel is lively, a little resiny. Either way, the hops are full and carry the mouthfeel with their full flavors.
D: Enjoyable, if not a little heavy. Definitely a drinkable IPA.

12 ounce can into pint glass, no canning date. Pours slightly hazy bright orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, caramel, toast, biscuit, light toffee, and floral/toasted earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity of citrus/floral hops and balanced sweet malts; with good strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, caramel, toast, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, caramel, toast, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity and balance of juicy citrus/floral hops and moderate malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and lightly creamy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice IPA. Good balance and complexity of citrus/floral hops and moderate malt sweetness; and very smooth to drink. A bit too malty, but otherwise a nicely enjoyable IPA.

Appearance: Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. A rich copper in color with a large soapy white head and chunks of lace. A sexy looking IPA.
Smell: Floral hops and some malt sweetness.
Taste: Earthy, herbal hops with a good bite to it. Leafy and bitter, but pleasing at the same time. Caramel malt adds some balance but still a hop forward ale.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a mild bite and lingering bitterness.
Drinkability: A nice beer from Rivertowne, nice to see it in bottles locally.

A: Good clarity on a tarnished orange coloring reveals a glass consuming display of carbonation of moderate pace. Foamy, 2 finger ivory head shows good standing while helping to leave a thick lace coating accented by heavy saturn like descending rings down the vessel.
S: Spicy pineapple, a dash of pepper herbs, starfruit and cantelope with a modest strength.
T: The flavor is grassy alcohol, sweet toasted grains, dry flowery hops. Peppery orange peel, spicy middle with citrus, the dry toasted nature begins to come through while the finish shows a good dry hopping of pine.
M: Creamy, dry hopped, medium bodied, carbonation settles down a bit.
O: Overall nice aroma, a different feel taste wise then the nose, a decent general drinker.

Pours a dark amberish copper color with a slight off white head that is about one finger thick. The aroma is of a caramel malt backbone with piney and earthy hops present over the top. The taste has a big malt backbone with caramel malt and sweet malt being balanced out by piney and earthy hops. The carbonation is moderate. Overall its a solid ipa, nice malt backbone and characteristic with a nice balance off hops. Enough going on to make you come back for more.

All the great taste of Rivertowne beer... Now in a bottle!
A - Pours a nice copper amber color with an inch of the foamy white stuff I love.
S - You got hardcore piney and herbal hops dancing on a balanced bready malt.
T - Pretty timid actually so maybe it's been bottled for a while. First time I had this it tasted more "dry hopped" but now I am getting semi bitter hops with the nice caramel body that does finish pretty bitter.
M - Light to medium body. Defiantly could finish a sixer no problem.
D - Well it still was really enjoyable but IDK I still love it on tap. What was cool was a sixer of bottles was only 10 bucks, which is cheaper than a growler fill and still delicious.
A cheap way to enjoy the great taste of local beer!

Pours a clean orange-ish color with an off white head. In the aroma, small pine and a gingerbread like malt. In the taste, pine hops, almost minty, with a gingerbread like malt. A small bite and light bodied mouthfeel, with a small dry pine to bland aftertaste. Quite piney, ok, but lacking in flavor and taste.

Served in a pint glass
Appearance – A light red and slightly cloudy colored body with a slight off white head. The head fades leaving only but a small trace of lacing
Smell - The aromas as a whole are relatively mild. Citrus hops mixed with a bit of pine. There is a slight rye aroma in there as well.
Taste – Some pine and citrus up front with a bit of breadiness mixed in. A bit of roasted malt flavor come to as the hop flavors dissipate a bit in the middle of the taste. Toward the end there is a slight resurgence of the hop flavor, mainly bitter in nature with an ever so more grassy flavor.
Mouthfeel – A bit thin on the body with a very medium level of carbonation. Noting really to great here.
Overall – It's an alright IPA, but nothing really special.

Poured into a pint glass.
4.0 A: Hazed amber brown color. One and a half fingers of creamy off-white head with average retention and a good bit of lacing.
4.0 S: Pretty good aroma. Equal mixture of hops and malts. Malts offer a good bit of toffee and caramel to a lesser extent. Hops are citrusy and earthy with orange being more apparent. A bit of Chinook-like cat piss and yeastiness too. Pretty good.
3.5 T: Earthy and refreshing. Moderate-heavy bitterness, earthy hops with some citrus and pine, and caramel and toffee malts. Yeastiness is a bit heavy handed, but otherwise pretty good.
3.5 M: Heavier medium body. Good moderate carbonation that is just a tad bity. Could be a bit creamier and a bit less chewy yeast.
3.5 D: Not a bad beer, but I'd prefer it to be a bit cleaner. I like yeastiness to a degree, but this is a tad too much for this beer

Hazy pond water light brown. Big sudsy cap stood tall and dug in. Lacing is pretty.
Piney and herbal hops in the nose. Competing somewhat is a sweeter toasted malt and semi-flamboyant yeast presence. Not a fruity nose.
Crisp, but with some papery elements. Dry pine, toast, bitter grapefruit pith, vegetable-like herbaceous-ness, mucky yeast, and finishing nutty bitterness. Mineral qualities make it a bit salty. In fact, it tastes like there is salt in the beer. Might have worked without the caramel malts.
Carbonation is low-medium. Semi-scrubby in the end. Wet body. Not a satisfying gulp.
This was better we hen I've had it in the past. Can't tell if my can isn't fresh without decipherable code stamping. An average local IPA.

Old Wylie's IPA has a pretty dark body for an IPA. It is brown with hints of orange and a small tan head that doesn't have much in the way of retention, but it does leave some decent lacing.
Bitter, pine scented hops. Some grassy hop aromas. A boatload of caramel malts.
Old Wylie's IPA has roughly equal amounts of two flavors: piney, hops that are somewhat bitter and a sweet, caramel-like malts. Although not overly complex, both flavors are pretty good. My main complaint is the the malts are at least as strong as the hops. In my opinion, if you are going to make an equally balanced IPA, make an English IPA with English hops and malt.
The body might be a touch heavier than the median, but the carbonation is pretty average.
Old Wylie's IPA is a solidly drinkable IPA that leans heavily on piney and grassy hops. It's pretty malty also, definitely what people would refer to as an "east-coast" style IPA. I liked it, but I plan to move on to other Rivertowne beers when I get the chance.

Review #800- thought I would go local with a brewpub that recently started bottling! I've had this on-tap before but was pretty excited to see a bottled sixer at GE Market District.
A- Body is a nearly transparent rich amber hue. Pours with a foamy 2-3 finger off white slightly rusty head that slowly fades to about one finger and sticks from there. Lots of lacing all the way down the glass-this is what an IPA should look like!
S- The nose isn't as rich or bright as the draft version but is still decent. Herbal hops, hay, pale malt and caramel malt come through the most-with a hint of pine in the back.
T- Herbal hops and a mild caramel malt backbone. The finish is all refreshing pine-but its not as bright as some west coast IPAs-it takes its time to come through and grows in strength gradually from the back to the front-a moderate refreshing pine hop flavor and bitterness linger.
M- Feel is fantastic-medium prickly carbonation and a light to medium weight very smooth, oily body.
D- This is a very good IPA- the bottling decreases the freshness and the brightness of what I remember from the brewpub-but the mouthfeel is exceptional and this is still wonderful either way overall.

Single can from Abe's.
Bright hazy yellow orange body, topped by four fingers of snow white rocky froth. Dense lacing.
Inviting though non-aggressive aroma of non-sharp citrus with a dash of pine.
Solid semi- sweet malt base. Plenty of juicy fruit. Good bitter snap at the swallow. Fruity finish.
Light-medium mostly smooth mouthfeel, with just a late touch of prickliness.
It's not going to burn up the trade forums, but its a solid enjoyable IPA, and a pleasant surprise after their pineapple ale.

Ventura County leads a slump in Southern California housing sales
Southern California home sales slumped to a February low not seen in six years, DataQuick Information Systems reported Wednesday.
February sales were down 12 percent year over year in the six-county area of Ventura, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino and Orange. A 22 percent drop in Ventura County was the highest in the region.
Low housing stock, credit restrictions and diminished affordability are fueling the sales decline, according to the San Diego-based real estate information service.
Mark Schniepp, director of the California Economic Forecast in Santa Barbara, expects inventory levels will rise slightly this spring.
"They're already rising," he said. "They're not going up by much. It's still pretty weak out there and it certainly constrained the existing home market."
Last month, 500 new and resale houses and condos in Ventura County were sold, down from 641 a year ago. In Southern California, 14,027 properties sold, down from 15,945 sales in February 2013.
The median price in Ventura County increased 11.1 percent, to $432,000 from $389,000 in February 2013.
Ventura County Coastal Association of Realtors President Dennis Goldstein expects housing market activity to pick up with the days being longer and better weather on the horizon. But he acknowledges that inventory is shrinking right now.
"There's not a general enthusiasm among sellers," he said. "I think some of them are waiting for the market excitement to start again."
It's not possible to pinpoint one or two things that are causing instability in the local market, said Simi Valley broker Jeff Phillips, a member of the Southland Regional Association of Realtors.
"Everything about this housing market is an unknown with so many things that create volatility," he said, pointing to government programs, first-time buyer activity, lending issues and those people who still wonder if another bubble is coming. "So with all this uncertainty, we still haven't gained confidence, in my opinion, to stabilize."
Across the Southland, the median home price rose 19.7 percent year-over-year to $383,000.
"February was another month with lackluster home sales, and the fifth in a row where sales fell short of the same month a year earlier," said DataQuick President John Walsh.
Walsh expects the data from March-May will be more indicative of what's behind the sluggish activity, whether it be supply constraints or the higher prices and higher mortgage rates.
"The drop in housing affordability is enough to nudge some out of the market," Walsh said. "Other would-be buyers have no doubt called 'time out' while re-evaluating their housing priorities, or watching for signs the market has overshot a sustainable price level."
Walsh noted that inventory is increasing on a seasonal basis, although there haven't been many new listings, and new-home construction remains well below average.

Nikon D7000 review
Solid all-round performance and some surprisingly upmarket features at a competitive price make for a truly excellent mid-range DSLR
Review Date: 31 Oct 2012

(see more store prices)
Features & Design
Value for Money
Image Quality
The Nikon D7000 is a remarkable camera for the money. Features such as the large pentaprism viewfinder, dual command dials and a top-mounted passive LCD screen distinguish it from entry-level consumer models, but its magnesium alloy body and dual SDXC card slots – used for overflow, backup or splitting raw and JPEG files – also place it above other enthusiast-oriented DSLRs.
Its most surprising feature is a 39-point autofocus sensor, which is significantly more sophisticated than anything else available at this price point. While the nine-point autofocus found on rivals often means focusing and then recomposing to shoot, there's little chance that one of the D7000's 39 points won't align with your subject. The central bank of nine points is cross-type, but even the standard outer points coped well with vague subjects in gloomy conditions.
Also available is 3D focus tracking, whereby the 2,016-pixel metering sensor tracks moving subjects by colour and moves the autofocus point accordingly – a feature it shares with the far pricier, full-frame Nikon D800.
The 6fps continuous mode may not seem so remarkable now that competitors are reaching 12fps, but the modest resolution and fast processor means performance is very good. In testing, the burst rate barely dipped when the buffer was full, achieving an average of 5.3fps until the camera hit its arbitrary 100-shot limit and stopped. However, this was only with the auto distortion control function for correcting lens distortions switched off in the menu; otherwise, performance dropped to 2fps after ten frames.
Autofocus in live view mode is slow, but doesn't rule out handheld shooting using the screen rather than the viewfinder. Switching to live view in priority and manual exposure modes can be confusing, though, with unexpected changes to the shutter speed and aperture changes not being reflected in the preview.
This can also lead to confusion when recording videos. There isn't a dedicated video mode – it's simply a matter of switching on live view and then hitting record – however, the controls give the impression that exposure settings are being adjusted when in truth they're in automatic mode. Manual exposure for video can be enabled in the menu, but even then there's still no access to aperture or shutter priority modes.

'Far cheaper'? What about the Pentax K30
The Pentax K30 with 18-55 lens kit is currently £533 on Amazon. The D7000 is £674 for the body only! The K30 matches it in features and is weather sealed.

Not at all new!
I've had mine for ages and I agree its a great camera, but new it isn't.
As John notes above, its likely to be replaced \ upgraded fairly soon (that's Nikon "soon").
At the current price it's a bargain, irrespective of the likes of the Pentax K30.
