Flight back
With temperatures at an all-time high this week, it's lovely to hear the soft peal of thunder over the hum and buzz of the air conditioning tonight, isn't it? While it's still officially summer, I thought tonight's rainy reprieve might be a cool (pun unintended) time to post something other than the bikinis and maxi dresses that the newsfeeds are currently rife with.
Korea Diaries: Day 3
Freezing on board the ferry to Nami Island. We squeezed in the rest of our South Korea itinerary on our last full day, starting with this trip to beautiful Naminara.
Korea Diaries: Day 2
If you're reading this, chances are you're not lounging in a #Laboracay-worthy outfit, making the most of the holidays by frolicking about on a pretty beach filled with pretty people. If we share the same preference for sweater weather over the summer heat, join me in my wistful longing for a little drop in temperatures through my Korea diaries! :)
Sweater weather is yay. Oversized "Love" sweatshirt, Mango. Sakura shorts, The SM Store. Beanie and necklace, SM Accessories.
This is where we went on our second day. Everland Resort in Yongin is about two hours' drive from Seoul. It's the largest theme park in South Korea owned by Samsung, and it was formerly known as Farmland—you'll see why in a few.
Tights, Dongdaemun market. Sneaker wedges, Skechers. While there were a few brave souls who were actually wearing heels, most people I saw were in sneakers or boots—it's 100 hectares of walking around, after all.
Along with my phones, I brought my ice blue Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 for some instant snapshots.
Kept it in this itty-bitty camera bag, along with the tickets, some money and IDs.
Korea Diaries: Day 1
안녕! Back on the grind after a delightful week of spring flowers and 12-degree weather in South Korea. I'm sitting on the front porch of the hanok (traditional Korean house) of Moon Guest House in Unni-dong (dong means "neighborhood"), where my family and I stayed on our first night in Seoul.
The hanok is owned and maintained by Anna's family. It was built by her grandfather, a nobleman, 50 years ago, and they welcome guests (including K-pop stars like Exo!) here who want to experience traditional Korean culture.
Cool Change
Quick shoot at the airport before my trip to Seoul yesterday afternoon. It's 8 degrees here when we arrived at night, but of course I couldn't wear my jacket yet in the sweltering heat of Manila, heh.
A lot of firsts come with this, like the first time to (finally!) visit a favorite city, first time to travel with the whole family including cousins, and my first time out of the country on Holy Week.
They say Lent comes in tandem with conversion—a change in attitudes, mindset, or principles. Sometimes, the change is temporary, like not eating meat or going on Facebook. Other times, the change is as profound as forming a new habit or subscribing to a different way of doing things.

Props: Matt-Hughes.com
"I think Ricardo will be hungry for this fight, I've beaten two Gracies and a teammate and, back about ten years ago, I beat Ricardo himself in a grappling match in Abu Dhabi. So on one hand he's got a lot of motivation and on the other he sees what I just listed and knows I'm a threat. I think he will come at me hard and try to get me down to the ground somehow. He wants to be on top of me, but I'm sure if he's on the ground he'll be happier than on his feet."
Flinty farmboy and former welterweight champion Matt Hughes anticipates a stiff test from grappling guru Ricardo Almeida when the two rivals come together at UFC 117 on Aug. 7 in Oakland. Hughes has a few Gracies under his belt and wants to add one of their prized students to his list of conquests. Can he break the "Big Dog" this Saturday night at the Oracle Arena?

Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), The BIRT Company and the leader in open source business intelligence (BI) - today announced that golf travel specialist Golfbreaks.com has implemented Quiterian's visual analytics product to deepen its understanding of both its clients and suppliers. Golfbreaks.com – Europe's largest golf travel company - will use the tool across its entire portfolio, including sister brands Teeofftimes.co.uk and Bookaspa.com. The company selected Quiterian Analytics for its powerful visualization, and because it shifts the emphasis away from the IT department responding to data requests – to business users driving their own queries. Quiterian was recently acquired by Actuate Corporation, and Quiterian Analytics will be rebranded as BIRT Analytics (see announcement on October 22nd: Actuate Acquires Quiterian S.L. to Deliver Big Data Analytics and Visual Data Mining to Business Users).
Goflbreaks.com has experienced 13 years of rapid and sustained growth since its inception in 1998, with the number of bookings increasing more than tenfold in six years, going from less than 20,000 a year to 200,000. The move to Quiterian comes as part of on-going investment in business intelligence, analytics and CRM, which has left senior management keen to be able to better segment, profile, and predict customer behavior. VPT, a UK-based Quiterian reseller partner, has been involved with various aspects of Golfbreaks.com's BI and analytics-related projects and is seen as a trusted partner in both strategic consultancy and implementation.
Golf tourism is worth more than $17 billion worldwide across a broad demographic, and proactive exploration of marketing and operational data will certainly give Golfbreaks.com a competitive advantage: "This product meets a need that we see evolving," Steve Hemsworth, Managing Director at Golfbreaks.com, commented. "We already have good BI, but we want to be able to intuitively drive analysis of client behavior and product performance. The insights Quiterian Analytics can give us into who is likely to do what, when and where, will enable a massive improvement in both our product development and the quality of advice we can give our clients. It will also increase the effectiveness of our decision making."
VPT helped Golfbreaks.com throughout the whole process, from presenting Quiterian as a solution to an identified need, to technical and organizational implementation and customized training.
"Our confidence in VPT was a key factor in our buying decision," continued Hemsworth. "Their engagement with our needs and their best-practice advocacy has been critical in the successful deployment. With so much evolution in our BI and analytics technology and practice going on across the organization we needed a safe pair of hands, and that's what VPT offers."
Specific uses to which Golfbreaks.com will be putting the Quiterian tool will include identifying clients who would enjoy products outside their usual buying habits, improving the effectiveness of their Breakpoints loyalty scheme as a marketing tool, and looking at patterns around venue use.
"The Quiterian product is a true business-user-driven tool," says Daniel Fedak, Managing Director at VPT. "Ad-hoc queries can be made through an intuitive and highly visual interface without the need to go through IT or analytics specialists. Users 'discover' ever-deepening insights through an exploratory process that is very natural."
Fedak added, "We enjoy working with Golfbreaks.com; it is an organization that stays ahead of the game by embracing innovation and taking a practical approach to business problems. We are also very pleased with the flexible and rapid delivery we have experienced with Quiterian. In less than 10 weeks at Golfbreaks.com, Quiterian Analytics took the step up from observing performance to exploring patterns and bringing a new level of insight to a wide variety of businesses."

Ben on the Bolts: 2014 Predictions
SAN DIEGO - It's an annual tradition…predict how the Chargers will fare as soon as the schedule is released. Don't worry that the draft is still two weeks away. My theory is that every season will include at least 2 or 3 big surprises—games that look like a loss on paper, but turn into a win, or vice versa. I'm including a couple of those in my forecast. Here we go:
Week 1 – at Arizona Cardinals (9/8) The Chargers once again open on Monday Night Football, and veterans will be familiar with the long wait to get the season started. Unfortunately, Arizona has a terrific defense, including a cornerback in Patrick Peterson who will try to shut down Keenan Allen. Since the offense will likely need a little bit of time to start firing on all cylinders, I expect the Chargers to come up a little short in this one. CARDINALS 20, CHARGERS 17.
Week 2 – Seattle Seahawks (9/14) I've seen a lot of people predict a loss in this one. The Seahawks will have four extra days to prepare after opening on a Thursday night. Still, I think the Chargers will be ready for the Super Bowl champs, who are not nearly as good away from their 12th man fans. Richard Sherman will be a tough matchup for Keenan Allen, but look for an improved Chargers defense to lead the team to a win in the home opener. CHARGERS 17, SEAHAWKS 16
Week 3 – at Buffalo Bills (9/21) This one could be tricky. The Bills also have a good defense (it'll be a tough opening stretch for the Chargers offense) and quarterback E.J. Manuel will likely be improved in his second season. Buffalo has a good home field advantage. Another surprise, but the Chargers come up short. BILLS 23, CHARGERS 17
Week 4 – Jacksonville Jaguars (9/28) No surprises here. The Chargers were better than the Jags last season on the road, and will be better than the Jags this season at the Q. The offense finally breaks out after scoring 17 points in each of the first 3 games. CHARGERS 31, JAGUARS 10
Week 5 – New York Jets (10/5) The Chargers should thank Rex Ryan and the Jets for beating the Dolphins in Week 17 last season, allowing the Bolts to make the playoffs. But not this week. The Chargers take advantage of an opponent making a cross-country trip to improve to 3-0 at home. CHARGERS 27, JETS 21
Week 6 – at Oakland Raiders (10/12) The Raiders signed loads of free agents in the offseason, but that strategy rarely works in the NFL. I see another tough season in Oakland, and the Chargers don't come out flat like they did in their trip to the Black Hole last year. CHARGERS 30, RAIDERS 20
Week 7 – Kansas City Chiefs (10/19) After two heartbreaking losses to the Chargers last season, the Chiefs will be out for revenge. Andy Reid is also a wizard coming off the bye week. He's 13-2 in his career, even after a loss at Denver last season. The entire week, the Chargers promise that they're not looking ahead to a Thursday night game against the Broncos, but they peek just a little, and it costs them. CHIEFS 26, CHARGERS 24
Week 8 – at Denver Broncos (10/23) The Broncos did not like losing to the Chargers on Thursday night last season, allowing Philip Rivers and his bolo tie to celebrate with the NFL Network crew on the field at Sports Authority Stadium. Peyton Manning won't let that happen again. BRONCOS 34, CHARGERS 21
Week 9 – at Miami Dolphins (11/2) The Chargers lost in Miami last season, but had plenty of chances to win the game. The Chargers cash in on all their red zone opportunities, and head into the bye week with a road win. CHARGERS 28, DOLPHINS 24
Week 10 – BYE
Week 11 – Oakland Raiders (11/16) After facing Seattle and Denver the previous two weeks, the Raiders are wiped out, while the Chargers are fresh and rested. This one gets ugly. CHARGERS 41, RAIDERS 7
Week 12 – St. Louis Rams (11/23) Still fresh after the bye (and pulling all their starters in the 4th quarter vs. Oakland), the Chargers face another team at the end of a murderer's row. Starting in October, the Rams face, in order, the Eagles, 49ers, Seahawks, Chiefs, 49ers again, Cardinals, and Broncos before coming to San Diego. That's just not fair. CHARGERS 33, RAMS 20
Week 13 – at Baltimore Ravens (11/30) I expect the Ravens to bounce back after missing the playoffs last season. The post-bye gravy train ends for the Chargers in a 10am West Coast start. RAVENS 27, CHARGERS 19
Week 14 – New England Patriots (12/7) They still have Tom Brady, but the Patriots aren't what they used to be. Not even close. On a Sunday night, the Chargers prove that they're playoff contenders, improving to 8-5 with a critical win. CHARGERS 30, PATRIOTS 23
Week 15 – Denver Broncos (12/14) With a two-game lead over the 2nd place Chargers, the 10-3 Broncos come to the Q with a chance to clinch the AFC West in mid-December. It's motivation enough for the Donkeys, who get a late touchdown drive by Manning to steal another win at the Q. BRONCOS 31, CHARGERS 30
Week 16 – at San Francisco 49ers (12/20) A Saturday game in the new Levi's Stadium, the Chargers catch the 49ers right after their second game against the Seahawks in a span of three weeks. After those two wars, the only energy San Francisco has left is Jim Harbaugh jumping up and down and screaming on the sideline. I told you there were always some surprises in the NFL. CHARGERS 17, 49ERS 13
Week 17 – at Kansas City Chiefs (12/28) The 9-6 Chargers can clinch a playoff spot with a win at Arrowhead Stadium, but the 8-7 Chiefs are still alive, even though they need some help. In a 10am start, this game turns into a desperate brawl. Nick Novak nails a 51-yard field goal as time expires to send it to overtime. The Bolts win the coin flip, and drive down to the 1-yard line, but are facing 4th down. They can kick the field goal, but that would give the Chiefs a chance to drive down and tie or win. Instead, emboldened by his second successful season as head coach, Mike McCoy decides to go for the win. The offseason addition of Donald Brown pays off, as the running back barrels into the endzone for the touchdown. The Chargers are headed back to the playoffs. CHARGERS 29, CHIEFS 23, OT

Kickstarter campaign: Grandmother Fish: a child's first book of Evolution
Although this Kickstarter campaign reached it's funding goal two days after starting on June 23, it's still on and you can donate to the effort to publish a book about evolution for preschoolers, Grandmother Fish: a child's first book of Evolution by Jonathan Tweet and illustrated by Karen Lewis. The really great thing about it is that Eric Meikle from the NCSE is advising on the contents of the book, so it will be very accurate with the science.

Two recent books about Alfred Russel Wallace from James T. Costa
Biologist James T. Costa has recently published two books about Alfred Russel Wallace (he previously edited The Annotated Origin: A Facsimile of the First Edition of On the Origin of Species in 2011).
James T. Costa, editor, On the Organic Law of Change: A Facsimile Edition and Annotated Transcription of Alfred Russel Wallace's Species Notebook of 1855-1859 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2013), 592 pp.
A giant of the discipline of biogeography and co-discoverer of natural selection, Alfred Russel Wallace was the most famous naturalist in the world when he died in 1913. To mark the centennial of Wallace's death, James Costa offers an elegant edition of the "Species Notebook" of 1855-1859, which Wallace kept during his legendary expedition in peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia, and western New Guinea. Presented in facsimile with text transcription and annotations, this never-before-published document provides a new window into the travels, personal trials, and scientific genius of the co-discoverer of natural selection.
In one section, headed "Note for Organic Law of Change"–an extended critique of geologist Charles Lyell's anti-evolutionary arguments–Wallace sketches a book he would never write, owing to the unexpected events of 1858. In that year he sent to Charles Darwin an essay announcing his discovery of the mechanism for species change: natural selection. Darwin's friends Lyell and the botanist Joseph Hooker proposed a "delicate arrangement": a joint reading at the Linnean Society of his essay with Darwin's earlier private writings on the subject. Darwin would publish On the Origin of Species in 1859, to much acclaim; pre-empted, Wallace's first book on evolution waited two decades, but by then he had abandoned his original concept.
On the Organic Law of Change realizes in spirit the project Wallace left unfinished, and asserts his stature as not only a founder of biogeography and the preeminent tropical biologist of his day but as Darwin's equal among the pioneers of evolution.
James T. Costa, Wallace, Darwin, and the Origin of Species (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2014), 352 pp.
Charles Darwin is often credited with discovering evolution through natural selection, but the idea was not his alone. The naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, working independently, saw the same process at work in the natural world and elaborated much the same theory. Their important scientific contributions made both men famous in their lifetimes, but Wallace slipped into obscurity after his death, while Darwin's renown grew. Dispelling the misperceptions that continue to paint Wallace as a secondary figure, James Costa reveals the two naturalists as true equals in advancing one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time.
Analyzing Wallace's "Species Notebook," Costa shows how Wallace's methods and thought processes paralleled Darwin's, yet inspired insights uniquely his own. Kept during his Southeast Asian expeditions of the 1850s, the notebook is a window into Wallace's early evolutionary ideas. It records his evidence-gathering, critiques of anti-evolutionary arguments, and plans for a book on "transmutation." Most important, it demonstrates conclusively that natural selection was not some idea Wallace stumbled upon, as is sometimes assumed, but was the culmination of a decade-long quest to solve the mystery of the origin of species.
Wallace, Darwin, and the Origin of Species also reexamines the pivotal episode in 1858 when Wallace sent Darwin a manuscript announcing his discovery of natural selection, prompting a joint public reading of the two men's papers on the subject. Costa's analysis of the "Species Notebook" shines a new light on these readings, further illuminating the independent nature of Wallace's discoveries.
BOOK: Dealing with Darwin: Place, Politics, and Rhetoric in Religious Engagements with Evolution
I read several articles from David Livingstone on the topic of this new book while in graduate school. Nice to see he's put out a book collecting all this historical research into one place:
David N. Livingstone, Dealing with Darwin: Place, Politics, and Rhetoric in Religious Engagements with Evolution (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014), 280 pp.
Using place, politics, and rhetoric as analytical tools, historical geographer David N. Livingstone investigates how religious communities sharing a Scots Presbyterian heritage engaged with Darwin and Darwinism at the turn of the twentieth century. His findings, presented as the prestigious Gifford Lectures, transform our understandings of the relationship between science and religion. The particulars of place—whether in Edinburgh, Belfast, Toronto, Princeton, or Columbia, South Carolina—shaped the response to Darwin's theories. Were they tolerated, repudiated, or welcomed? Livingstone shows how Darwin was read in different ways, with meaning distilled from Darwin's texts depending on readers' own histories—their literary genealogies and cultural preoccupations. That the theory of evolution fared differently in different places, Livingstone writes, is "exactly what Darwin might have predicted. As the theory diffused, it diverged." Dealing with Darwin shows the profound extent to which theological debates about evolution were rooted in such matters as anxieties over control of education, the politics of race relations, the nature of local scientific traditions, and challenges to traditional cultural identity. In some settings, conciliation with the new theory, even endorsement, was possible—demonstrating that attending to the specific nature of individual communities subverts an inclination to assume a single relationship between science and religion in general, evolution and Christianity in particular. Livingstone concludes with contemporary examples to remind us that what scientists can say and what others can hear in different venues differ today just as much as they did in the past.
Historian of science Carla Nappi interviewed Livingstone about Dealing with Darwin for New Books in Science, Technology, and Society, saying that "with its vibrant language, careful research, and compelling argument, Dealing with Darwin will be a must-read for historians of science, especially those interested in evolution, religion, Darwin, and/or locality."
BOOK: From Eve to Evolution: Darwin, Science, and Women's Rights in Gilded Age America
This new title from historian Kimberly A. Hamlin looks to be an important contribution to Darwin studies:
Kimberly A. Hamlin, From Eve to Evolution: Darwin, Science, and Women's Rights in Gilded Age America (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2014), 256 pp.
From Eve to Evolution provides the first full-length study of American women's responses to evolutionary theory and illuminates the role science played in the nineteenth-century women's rights movement. Kimberly A. Hamlin reveals how a number of nineteenth-century women, raised on the idea that Eve's sin forever fixed women's subordinate status, embraced Darwinian evolution—especially sexual selection theory as explained in The Descent of Man—as an alternative to the creation story in Genesis. Hamlin chronicles the lives and writings of the women who combined their enthusiasm for evolutionary science with their commitment to women's rights, including Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Eliza Burt Gamble, Helen Hamilton Gardener, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. These Darwinian feminists believed evolutionary science proved that women were not inferior to men, that it was natural for mothers to work outside the home, and that women should control reproduction. The practical applications of this evolutionary feminism came to fruition, Hamlin shows, in the early thinking and writing of the American birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger. Much scholarship has been dedicated to analyzing what Darwin and other male evolutionists had to say about women, but very little has been written regarding what women themselves had to say about evolution. From Eve to Evolution adds much-needed female voices to the vast literature on Darwin in America.
BOOK: The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History (New York : Henry Holt and Co, 2014), 336 pp.
A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes.
Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.
Kolbert has done any radio interviews and podcasts about her new book, including for NPR, Slate, New Books in Environmental Studies, and the American Museum of Natural History.
On a similar note – a new documentary, 6 the Movie:
Darwin Sign Project
Today I learned about a fun project at the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos:
Those who have visited Galapagos will know that the sign outside the Charles Darwin Research Station (CDRS) is a popular spot to have your photograph taken. In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the research station, the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) and the Friends of Galapagos Organisations are asking you to send in your photos beside the sign to contribute to a giant montage that will go on display at the new visitor centre. It is a great opportunity for you to become a part of Galapagos history!
Submissions will be accepted until 20 January 2015 (when the CDRS turns 51 years old) and all eligible participants will be notified via email to view the final photo collection online.
A voluntary donation with each photo submission will be put towards building repairs and maintenance of the research station, helping to keep CDF at the forefront of Galapagos conservation science for years to come.
If you've got such a photo, head here to submit it! Wish I had such a photo…

Reviewing a bottle of milk stout. Not sure if this is their King Oak Milk Stout.
Popped the cap in the kitchen. Good thing, as this one proceeded to foam out of the bomber for at least 5 minutes. I lost at least 1/4 of the beer. Huge, over-carbonated foam head on top of a jet-black liquid. Once it settles out, you've got tons of sticky foam.
Big coffee and carbonized malt aroma. With your nose in the glass, you absolutely get a hint of milk or lactose.
Big rich dark malt, the flavor of which is whisked away by carbonation. Burnt is the primary residual flavor, with charred malt and some bitter chocolate coming forward. A little lactose sourness is there too. Moderate bitter finish.
I'm kind here in my rating. His one is flat out too fizzy. Kills the richness of the beer.
Overall, somewhat off-balance in flavor, and mouthfeel is all wrong. I'm one and done with this.

Brownish black colored with a low beige head. Aroma of cocoa and dark malts, some coffee. Flavors of cocoa and molasses, nice and rich dark malts, some smoke and oak, all with a fine hopped finish, and a subtle cherry tang linger. Somewhat thin mouthfeel, but it manages a tingly finish. Good beer, very drinkable.

Dennis let us sample this right from the tank, pre-carbonation and pre-much head. Boy would it make a top cask. lots of lactose. Chocolate malt and excellent bitterness. Roastiness and coffee charms were in the background. Can drink pints. Masterful.

Almost jet black brew with a decent head...smell is rich in coffee, smoke and chocolate aromas. Taste follows with a nice coffee/chocolate combination that is lightly sweet and dry. Mouthfeel is somewhat light which leads to a veru nice drinkability quotient. Finishes dry....nice brew.

Had on tap at the Brewmaster's Tavern. A slightly amber dark black milk stout. Good lacing on the sides and top with an overall patchy head. Milky biscuit tastes were sensed in the roasty flavorings of the smells. I did sense a slightly heavy fruity taste to the drink (maybe plums). But overall, a pretty creamy and really sweet. Really good.

Black in color with a light brown foam head. Roasted malts on the nose. The texture and mouthfeel of this beer is incredibly smooth. The taste has a nice creaminess that is balanced with some fully roasted flavors. The creamy and smooth mouthfeel delivers some robust flavors in a miraculously clean manner. The finish is clean and makes you want some more.

s: roasted malt aroma with notes of chocolate and slightly burnt toast. not much else.
t: light notes of roasted malt followed by flavors of chocolate, coffee. the lactose is noticeable but it it's not cloying in any way. well balanced and very drinkable.

L: Pours a deep black color with a short but thick tan colored head that laces the glass nicely on the way down.
S: Smells of sweet and bitter roasted malts, some hints of coffee, caramel, and chocolate in the nose.
T: Tastes of sweet roasted malts, some chocolate and caramel malt, some coffee flavors, a nice milky flavor to it as well.
M: Very smooth, sweet, right amount of carbonation.
D: Very drinkable stout, I enjoyed this one a lot and would recommend it to people looking for a good milk stout.

On tap at Atwood's, Cambridge MA.
Black with a thin tan head. Fair lace and retention. Smells like iced coffee when I accidentally dump too much sugar in. That and lactic acid. Tastes is cocoa and watered down coffee albeit not that roasty. Lactic sour in back gives an impression of an Irish stout. Smooth mouthfeel.
Did fine washing down a Tavern burger but not something I'd try again.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a mug glass.
A: The beer is a deep dark brown color, with a medium beige head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains roasted malts, lactose, chocolate, coffee and a faint touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out with a hearty roasted malt character up front that is quickly followed by some lactose creaminess and flavors of milk chocolate and black coffee. There's some mild sweetness as well. The hops presence is also mild as it should be in this style but is strong enough to create some balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to pound down for while if you're in the mood for the style.

Enjoyed on cask at Brew City, Worcester, MA.
Arrived in a pint glass with a 3/4" tan head over the opaque dark brown/black brew. Head fades gradually, with good lacing. Nose is roasty grains.
Taste is sweet dark maltiness to start, coffee in the middle, and lightly bitter at the close, coupled with a revisit of the dark sweetness, which lingers in the mouth. Mouthfeel is way smooth, and very drinkable. Another cask hit.

Poured black with a brown head. Smelled chocolaty and rich. The flavor was warm, rich, and roasty. It was very smooth and I could pick up the hints of milk. Not much carbonation. Not much lacing. It was very good and I would definitely order it again!

Just found this one in the note book. Figure I had the beer a few months ago and forgot to add the write up.
THe beer is chilled and I pour into a snifter.
The beer pours a pitch black with thin tan creamy head foaming up easily.
Aroma is roasty almost to the point of smokyness. SOme chocolate and coffee notes come through as well. Brown sugar makes a visit too.
Flavor is sweet chocolate up front which rolls to a roasty malt hit again almost smoky. The beer leaves a mix of sweet chocolate and roast on the finish. A very tasty beer that I note is the best beer I sampled from OPA OPA.
check it out!

Lumpy, beige head. Slowly settling. Very slowly! Dark brown where no light shines through. Plenty of chunky lace on the glass.
Beyond the black patent comes with a strong earthiness and background of yeast. Not what I would expect, nor is it really on spot.
Not as sweet as some Milk Stouts, but this is an excellent stout. Very smooth body with a slightly elevated carbonation. Bitter finish of heavily roasted unmalted barley along with black patent. Notable hop bitterness. The aftertaste is moderately long and chewy.

Had this at Christopher's in Cambridge.
Poured from the tap into a pint glass.
The color is complete black with brownish foam, and about two fingers of head. Some slight lacing on the glass.
The smell has a slight milky flavor. There is some nice smooth, creamy flavor with a slight roastiness from the malt coming through.
The taste is a bit like a brownie with a slight fudge flavor. It is also a bit milky flavor that goes into some slight bitterness at the end. There is a touch of chocolate and a hint of fat-free pudding.
The feel of this beer is real smooth. The smooth feel of this beer was giving me visions of silk, and thin chocolate and vanilla pudding.

Priscilla Tan
WITH just a year of working experience and at a tender age of 22, Priscilla Tan already knows "there are a lot of factors and abilities that a designer should have, other than just the skills set of designing". She cites the ability to communicate with people as an example. "I want to be able to relate to people or let others relate to me, be it through content, a story or an idea," she says. "I hope that as I grow as a designer, I can create products that carry these intangible values. These products not only can be created as a documentation of life but to inspire others as well." Ms Tan aims to do this in her job as an associate designer with Supermama, a local design firm-cum-retail store.
The company is currently working on a new product label with Japanese fabric producer Maruju. Ikue, the new product label, will launch its debut collection Animal Camou, a line of six baby items, such as bibs, blankets and towels. The collection will be launched at the Japan Interior Lifestyle fair in Tokyo in June.
Ms Tan's role in this collaboration was to create a print that was inspired by the patterns found on military camouflage. "But instead of random organic patterns or pixels, I came up with the idea of printed animals that merge into each other," she says. The print was first exhibited at Frankfurt's Ambiente fair, a prestigious consumer goods trade fair, and as part of the Young Guns - The Young Designers Showcase in March that was part of SingaPlural, a design event to spawn fresh ideas and concepts from design players in advertising, architecture, interiors and furniture design.
Last August, she created an artwork on a porcelain plate for Omega's Co-Axial Exhibition over at ION Orchard under the theme Engineered. "This plate was inspired by one of Omega's videos - Omega Co-Axial Chronometer - from one of the scenes, where the ocean and the cityscape were all made up of mechanical gears," Ms Tan explains.
Ms Tan graduated with a diploma in experience and product design from Singapore Polytechnic last year. She decided on a career in design after noticing the word "experience" in the name of the course. "The word 'experience' from my diploma really caught my eye and heart in design. This actually changed how I look at design. There are so many experiences around us that serve as inspiration that we can draw from. It will be a pity and regret to let all these go. Why not document and communicate them to others?"

A number of significant historical events have occurred in...
State's Rights Hotel
The Milledgeville, the state's capital at the time. It also served as the stage for numerous political meetings, conventions, and the inauguration celebration of Governor George W. Crawford, Georgia's only Whig governor.
Constructed in 1825, the State's Rights Hotel was designed by noted architect John Marlor and built for George Brown, a local businessman and plantation owner. The building is rooted in the Federal architectural style but is interesting for its large Palladian arch in the pediment of the building. Little is known about the operations of the building during its early years, but surviving records indicate that the structure was primarily utilized as a tavern. In 1837 Brown died and left the building to his son John, who forged a partnership with his brother-in-law Samuel Beecher. The two opened a new business at the site and named it the State's Rights Hotel.
On October 29, 1839, the first advertisement for the new business appeared in Milledgeville's Southern Recorder. The advertisement informed readers that "the proprietors of the commodious house respectfully legislative session. Along with the State's Rights Hotel, the Globe Hotel, Samuel Buffington's Jackson Hall, and the Lafayette Hall focused their operations toward the legislators' needs. In this atmosphere of political activity, Beecher and Brown, both Whigs, took strides to make their party affiliation known.
Throughout the 1840s, the State's Rights Hotel played host to various Whig meetings and conventions, including legislative nomination conventions and an elector's convention for the presidential election of 1840. To show support for the Whig candidacy of William Henry Harrison, Beecher and Brown renamed the structure the Anti-Van Buren State's Rights Hotel and the Harrison and Reform State's Rights Hotel. Following Harrison's victory, the structure returned to its original name.
On November 8, 1843, the hotel played host to an inaugural celebration for Georgia's newly elected
For the next century, the State's Rights Hotel served as a private residence for two families and as a restaurant. In 1966 the building was saved from demolition and moved from its original location to a new site, where it was converted into a museum and civic center. Known today as the Brown-Stetson-Sanford House, the structure is a permanent fixture on Milledgeville's historic tours and is currently operated by the Old Capital Museum. In 1972 Milledgeville's historic downtown, including the former State's Rights Hotel, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Horror Chick's 11 Favorite Douchebags of Horror
Mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) in Jaws: While this writer wasn't around in 1975 to get a sense of how people felt about political figures at that time, I'm guessing that Amity Island's Mayor Larry Vaughn wasn't going to be winning any popular votes after his actions in Steven Spielberg's Jaws. The ultimate spineless coward, Mayor Vaughn was more concerned with economics of the summer season than he was with the safety of the island residents, allowing Amity's beaches to stay open even after several shark attacks.
I mean, there's cold-hearted and then there's a guy who won't even close down a beach after a small child becomes a floating Happy Meal for Bruce the Shark, and that's an entirely new level of douchebagginess in my eyes. He even has his own kids at the beach after the shark attacks, further proving that some people aren't cut out to be politicians- especially cowardly douchebags who only want to serve their wallet, not the people that elected him.
Chris (Nancy Allen) and Billy (John Travolta) in Carrie: Yeah, so most of her classmates were all kind of douchebags to her, but in Carrie I've always thought that Nancy Allen's Chris and John Travolta's Billy went above and beyond in their douchieness, which earned them both a spot on my countdown. Let's be honest- we've all probably met our share of Billys and Chrises in our time- the attractive kids who live to terrorize the outcasts in their school. For them just making fun of Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) wasn't enough- they wanted to publicly humiliate her in front of everyone on what was meant to be the most special night of her life. Pranks are one thing; what Chris and Billy concoct for poor Carrie takes things to an entirely new level ,and one bucket of pig's blood later, Carrie White obliterates almost her entire class in a fiery attack during prom night.
And while Billy and Chris thinks they've gotten away with their latest tormenting attack on Carrie, the telekinetic teen has other plans for the pair, causing their car to lose control and explode after they try to escape her wrath.
The horror genre has had its share of bullies over the years, but I don't know that there were two bigger douchebag bullies ever than Carrie's Billy and Chris.

Warriors Fall to St. Joseph's College in HVIAC Championship Game
February 17, 2014
The Warriors had a phenomenal season in the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (HVIAC) this season, highlighted by making it to the finals on February 16 at the College of New Rochelle's Wellness Center. To claim the HVIAC championship trophy, they needed to beat a tough and talented St. Joseph's College Bears team, undefeated in conference play this season, and previous winners of the 2010 conference championship against Vaughn.
Vaughn College put on an impressive performance but was ultimately defeated by St. Joseph's College by a final score of 92-76. The Warriors finish the season with an overall 14-11 record and 5-2 in the HVIAC.
The Warriors struggled to score in the first half, shooting less than 30 percent from the field and 50 percent from the foul line. At half time, the Warriors trailed St. Joseph's College 27-49. All season long the Warriors showed the uncanny ability to erase big leads from their opponents. There was no quit in the Warriors as they clawed their way back in the game. Led by senior captain guard Jared Ndiba's '16 22 points, the Warriors would cut the lead to 14 points with just over four minutes left to play in the game.
St. Joseph's College never let the Warriors come within 10 points of the lead and the team was unable to pull off another come from behind victory, something they did in the semi-finals game against Berkeley College just the day before.
Ron Wyatt '16 and Eric McDonald '16 scored 12 points apiece for the Warriors and Maleec Taylor '15 scored 10 points, grabbed six rebounds, swiped four steals, and dished out four assists for the Warriors.

Christian America or UNITED States of America? Pick one...
And before the faithful start blamming it, try to understand that I don't mind at all if you want to be religious - of any flavor of religion you like. I don't hate you. Really! I wish you all the best love and life offer.
But don't push your beliefs on the rest of us through OUR government please (yes ours - mine too!). Be happy with your beliefs, and allow the rest of us to be happy without them.
Fair enough?
What's wrong?...WITH YOU?
What do you have against a whole lot of people i think this is a sick cartoon that should be removed.
In response to the author's comments.........
I know you really don't mean that. If you REALLY didn't have a problem with people choosing to be religious, then you wouldn't have made so many animations against it.
Honestly, do you have anything ELSE to talk about, or are you just another one-trick pony?
Uh huh...
Posting a monument is hardly forcing a religion. Because you respect something doesn't even mean you believe it's real, let alone that you're forcing other people to believe in it. I have this a one just because I thought it was funny how that hand came in and changed the guy's clothes and then he cried like a baby. It really didn't make much sense at all other than the general idea of the cartoon.
was that supposed to be bad?
wow that was really stupid. i didnts now wheter to throw up or shoot the computer. next time make a good flash please. it would be greatly appriciated.
I don't know.
Meh, I am not very religious or into politics, so I really don't have much as far as views on this. As far as the animation, not bad, a bit short, but I think you got your point across.

There was an unfortunate incident in our community last week where a man for reasons unknown at this time was seen in a quiet community wielding a sword of some type, harassing passing cars and trash cans.
The Covington City Council voted this past week to add a code officer to its staff. The city currently has only one officer.
It's time for a change on the 2050 Plan - both to the document itself and officials' approach in presenting it to the public.
One of the cornerstones of pride in the Newton County community is that we have our own hospital; and throughout its existence the taxpayers have supported its development.
We realize that voting Tuesday, four full days away, is the farthest thing from your mind right now. But you need to make it first in your mind.
The first public hearing for the 2050 Plan was held Monday night, giving the public an opportunity to let themselves be heard.
Here's some of what we have heard from concerned citizens over the last two weeks:
There is one person in town that we doubt that anyone who knows him could ever question his passion for the things he believes in.
We are grateful that the long holiday weekend passed, and despite all the people and activities occurring with the Fourth of July festivities, there were no major reports of injuries associated with beverage consumption, firework exhibitions or rowdy behavior.
We are never happy to see groups come into our community, especially on holidays, to set up shop for a week or two and sell products that rob profits from our local merchants who pay taxes on a regular basis.
Our community is planning to celebrate the Fourth of July in a grand way today.
"Our founders got it right when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence that our rights come from nature and nature's God, not from government."
During the recent primary election, many of Newton County's voters didn't show up. They paid no concern to who would represent them and a minority of the county's voters bothered to head toward the polls.
The city of Social Circle has some beautiful older buildings and homes that reflect our Southern heritage.
The city has been renovating one of these old homes, originally built in the 1840s, in order to establish a new city hall.
We got jolted out of our malaise as we received an announcement from Chris Smith, co-owner of Newton Electric Supply, telling us that he has thrown his hat into the ring for the position of Covington city councilman.
After a brief breather from the longest national election campaign ever, we were taken aback by Mr. Smith's early announcement. For sure it's been cold enough the last few days to be election time, but the old calendar says it's Easter week.
The citizens of Newton County never cease to amaze us.
We have done editorials in the past encouraging people and groups to do what they can do during these economic time to help their neighbors.
Until recently, driving through the quaint town of Porterdale was the equivalent of driving in the Grand Prix to some drivers.
It is fortunate no one has been killed.
This past week we carried a story on our front page that described how a step-father took a belt to his teenage daughter; this action was and is inexcusable.
We believe that a parent has a right to discipline his or her child in a manner that works for the family, but this does not include belts and sticks or any other form of discipline that can cause bodily injury to a child.
We support the county's effort to tighten its belt during this current fiscal crisis.
We appreciate the efforts of every manager and employee who has come up with cost-saving measures to help county employees keep their jobs or not have their earnings cut.
We are more than pleased to see that teacher Sara Vinson, of the Covington Montessori School, has taken the time to teach her students the value of not only learning about the great jobs that non-profits do in our community, but also about the added value of learning how to help support them.
Mrs. Vinson's class spent time talking with Tamara Richardson, who is the director of the Newton Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta.
Taxes and increased fines are highlights of last week's legislative talks in Congress as well as the Georgia General Assembly.
Tobacco users across the country will now have to offer a few more silver coins for every pack or carton they buy as federal lawmakers are increasing tobacco taxes to help fund children's healthcare initiatives across the country.
Sen. John Douglas promised last year that he would have legislation passed that would help protect school children from sexual predators.
He sponsored Senate Bill No. 14, which would prohibit anyone who is on a national or state sex offender registry from serving on local school boards.
Sadly Newton County's unemployment rate has jumped to 11.7 percent, up from 10.4 percent in December.
In January, the last report from the Georgia Department of Labor showed that 1,195 people had applied for unemployment benefits in the county.
The last two administrations under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both recognized the need for volunteerism; they both created new volunteerism bureaucracies.
We have civic groups in this country like the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions that have been the backbone of civic volunteerism in this country and around the world for at least 100 years.
The president made it clear in his speech Tuesday night that it was his intention in his proposed budget to end the tax breaks given to businesses and people who earn more than $250,000 a year for the contributions they make to charity.
The president, for some reason, thinks that the government can take that tax money and provide for the needs of groups like the YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs or community food banks better. That thinking by the president is pure baloney.
The Democrats in congress, including the president, have been pushing with all of their might to pass the Employee Free Choice Act, which would amend the National Labor Act of 1935 - a law that helped establish the labor movement in this country.
Democrats are pushing this legislation because they owe their elections to the giant labor unions of this country.
Area homeowners received some good news this past week as they learned that the watering restrictions for Level IV drought areas have loosened a bit. Residents are now allowed to use drip irrigations systems and soaker hoses to water their shrubs, trees and flower beds for up to one hour, three days a week.
It will be nice to see the profusion of colors that should soon be popping back up in folks' yards.
This Friday, at 2 p.m. many community groups will come together for a farewell ceremony for the troops of Company B of the 1/121st Infantry of the Georgia National Guard's 48th Brigade.
The men and woman of the brigade, after a training stop in Mississippi, will be deploying to Afghanistan in May.
