Into the World IXInto the WorldBased on the manuscript 'Emperor's Blood' by Rosanna P. BrostPART IXThe big strange male named Medik was holding him, restraining his limbs with the blanket while he paced the room, smelling very nervous. Nokaye the cat watched from the table and together, they all felt the tension of the room as outside, was danger. Keel wriggled, anxious about what his father would say when he found him gone and wondering how long it would take. It could be anywhere from right soon, to a very, very long time. Despite being afraid of getting into trouble, Keel wanted his sire to return as soon as possible. He didnt want to be near these strangers anymore and he was getting very tired. He couldnt rest though, not until his father had rescued him and he was safe.Outside it started to rain and Medik sat down on the edge of the examination table, absently petting Keels neck. Keel growled deep in his throat, loathing being touched by the stranger.Not
Falcolfs Guide to Writing PIIFalcolf's Guide to WritingBy Rosanna P. BrostPART IIPlaigerismIf there is one thing that can make or break your book, it is plaigerism. It's a fact of life that no story is completely original, but copying another author word for word, the most extreme form of plaigerism is illegal and can put you in jail. Of course, most people would never do such a thing, because obviously it's the very height of stupidity to do so. However, some writers still get away with one form of plaigerism, simply because they have different characters and a different setting than the one used by the original author - but they've stolen key aspects of that person's plot. It is generally fine to take a basic idea from another author, but if you plan on publishing, you should only take that one idea and not any others, molding your plot into something entirely different from theirs. This probably sounds confusing, so I'll use an example of an author that myself as well as my editor Aleria loath
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 8Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 8My head is pounding like a drum. I lay on my side, legs splayed out, but I cant really feel them. Somebody bends over me and I feel like screaming as I realize that theyre there, but I cant, because my mouth has been bound shut. Somehow, Im a ki-rin, though I dont recall becoming one. I try to look around, to search for Nicola, but Im still stiff as stone. I want to move. I want to run.Ah, shes awake. says the voice of River. He pulls off the gag and suddenly I can move, but I find that Im tied up. Good morning Princess, how do you feel?I swing my head, trying to slash him with my horn in answer.Ah. Thought so. says River and I get a good look at him. He isnt wearing the blindingly colourful clothes anymore. In fact, hes wearing a very familiar bluish-grey cloak with white embroidery trim on it. The man from the river
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 7Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 6Topaz
who the hell is that? I gasp, thinking that if Attila sees me Ill be captured for sure.Whoa, you are ignorant. gasps Topaz. Thats Crown Prince Edward!You can tell my mom named him. Attila would of dubbed him something stupid.I kind of stand in a state of shock as the prince rides by, a ki-rin on his saddle pad making him look just like a rider, except there are gold fastenings on his horses tack and he doesnt wear a quiver. Perhaps he notes my staring, or perhaps he sees something familiar, because when he glances at me, he suddenly does a double take and pulls up his horse to stare at me, in exactly the same manner as Attila.I didnt know I had a brother. I always thought I was an only child, because well, nobody had ever said I had one. Id sure never seen any pictures. Yet now Im looking at a guy that may as well
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 6Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 6Flat.That is the world. Flatter than flat. Like a pancake. In all directions is grassland, grass that threatens to grow higher than my waist when Im a human. Coincidentally I do not become one very often. Trying to keep up with Wolf as a human is exhausting, so I stay a ki-rin. Phirun doesnt have the same luxury. As a dragon hes kind of ungainly on the ground, so rather than tucker himself out he mostly jogs along beside me as a human. Phirun holds onto my shoulder with one hand, which I allow because I reckon it helps him keep up.In every direction there is waves of grass and we run across a green sea. The skys weather changes day by day and we havent seen anyone for days. Its kind of fun to be on a journey. Ive never been on a family vacation, nor a road trip, so Im having a grand old time. The other day we saw a big boulder, just sitting there in the middle of nowhere
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 5Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 5The calf opens its new eyes to a new day, looking across the warm green grass, to where something lays. Near it is a creature that makes it want to go back to the save haven of its mothers womb, an animal that watches it and its dam keenly with brilliant silver reptilian eyes. Long, feeler whiskers extend from either side of its elegant muzzle and theres a pair of horns on its head. Deer like ears pan towards the calf. The creature is sleek, lanky and covered with scales. Yet it doesnt attack. It sniffs the air, seeming to greet the baby cow, who moos tentatively, asking for the one its dam loved.The creature cocks its head, then sighs, almost miserably, placing its magnificent skull on the flank of the thing that lies in the grass. It hates that it wasnt fast enough. It tried - it really did - but in the end it was beaten; it just didnt have the skill. Its more lonely than Jane ever
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 3Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 3Agony.I slowly, uncomfortably become aware that Im lying in a ditch, my head just resting in some grass. I groan and try to stand, but I just flop deeper into the muck. This isnt fun. I look at the grass, wondering if its strong enough, then I try reaching for it, but for some reason I cant grip, and I seem to only have two fingers. I straighten my legs, trying to push myself out of the dreadful ditch. I cant. I look about blearily as I sink back into the sludge, wondering what went wrong. The scenery looks vaguely like the lower mainland, except the mountains are far distant smudges and the road beside me is made of dirt.I sneeze out filthy water, trying to bring my eye sight into focus. It refuses, so I try to get up again and fall flat. This is getting ridiculous. As Im attempting yet again to stand up, I hear creaking, whistling and heavy hoof beats. I look around, and see an ox
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 2Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c)Rosanna P. BrostChapter 2Schools winding down. Theres only two weeks left now until prom and luckily, Attila still doesnt know about the ring, which I plan on wearing outright once the parents leave the dance. Ive put it on once or twice just for curiosity and it fits great, which is kind of weird. Ive never bought a ring, so why would anyone know my ring size? But now, somebody obviously does. The rain is just piddling and me and Nancy are jogging like demented horses around the track in PhysEd. Im panting pretty nasty and wishing I was wearing more than just my black, red and white gym strip. The wind is bothering us much more than the rain, whipping across our wet faces and sides, freezing us.Its a co-ed gym class. Ive been looking for the nice foreign guy, but I havent seen him since that day. I dont think he has the same block schedule as me and Nancy. We rush across the school fi
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 1Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 1As girls go, Im not very pretty, at least not in my opinion anyway. My face is bony and well, my eyebrows are kind of guy-ish. My eyes are nice enough, all dark blue around the edges and silver in the middle, but theyre rather big. The skin of me is rather pale and you can see a lot of veins and whatnot beneath, which rather irritates me, because it looks unhealthy or something to me. Maybe Im just paranoid, I dont know. My mom and my rather annoying conscious say I am at least. My long hair is brownish sort of black, that looks nice in some lights I suppose. My clothes arent that great; most of what I have is second hand, because for some lame reason my crazy father wont let a bloody cent out of his filthy rich grasp.Dont get me wrong, I love my father alright, but hes kind of eccentric. For one thing, he doesnt like spending money and yet hes like
Ominous- Jeff The Killer x Reader Ch.8After the surprising encounters of yesterday, you were taken back out through unfamiliar woods until you reached a large house.You were given a room, down the hall from Jeff and Eyeless Jack, which was surprising, considering that the two killers were the last people you'd want to be around at night.The first few days were rough however, and the murderous clan took special time out of their day to "familiarize" themselves with you.Toby was by far the nicest. He could be a bit of a downer at times, and his tourettes took some getting used to, but he seemed the most similar to you.Masky and Hoodie were friendly enough, but you always caught them spying on you for no apparent reason. Hoodie never spoke above a whisper and it creeped you out.Masky was gentle and extremely shy, but on several occasions you found him on the floor having violent coughing fits, and swallowing handfuls of pills. He almost never removed his mask, unless he was sleeping.Eyeless Jack, the second oldest, was
Ominous- Jeff The Killer x Reader Ch.7As the creatures words sunk in, you felt your heart skip several beats.What...?You blinked rapidly and took a few steps back. You weren't angry, you weren't terrified, instead you felt a foreign and unexpected feeling that you couldn't find aword for.You looked back at Jeff, who had a hand curled into his hair in frustration. He met your gaze for a brief moment before looking at Slenderman."But can't you just-""My Proxies have a particular skill set, as you've most likely seen from Jeffery. Now, I must ask; what is your relationship with him? It is extremely unheard of for him to spare a life."Slenderman said, cutting him off.You gulped. What was your relationship with him? Friend? No, he wouldn't hesitate to kill you if he wanted to."He had said that he kept me around for company, out of boredom." You replied, which was the honest truth. Jeff wasn't affectionate in any way, and enjoyed getting under your skin.The only time he showed you concern was out of necessit
From Panels to Pages: Hook, Line and SinkerThere are some days where life throws you something totally unexpected that takes you out of the daily routine. I've noticed these changes can oftentimes be little adventures in and of themselves, wonderful little side stories to our "normal" walks.Then again, living in a home full of Pokémon means that "normal" is usually anything but. So on a sunny Wednesday morning, another of life's little twists and turns came to trip me up.Or rather, the twisting, turning tip of my dear Arbok's tail was what tripped me up.I really should've learned by now that the long corridors of the Manor are the most likely spots for Arbok or my other serpentine Pokémon pals to ambush me! It's in their nature, after all; scouting out places to surprise their marks, which are most of the time all me. Within seconds of the toe of my shoe bumping into the purple appendage sticking out of the side storage room, she'd curled her tail all the way up my leg."WHOA! What the--?"My surprise took away any
Fun At The FairLeo sighed. How had Mikey talked him into this?"That'll be $20."Handing the money to the ticket vendor Leo did his best to keep his hand hidden in the large sleeve of his coat so as not to alert the man that Leo and Mikey were not human. A moment later the man shoved two small slips of paper into his hand before waving them away."Have fun at the fair. NEXT!"Handing one of the tickets to Mikey, Leo rolled his eyes as Mikey let out a loud giggle and began pulling him towards the entrance to the fairgrounds. Following Mikey's lead Leo watched amused as Mikey handed his ticket to the person at the gate before going inside and pausing for Leo to join him.Once inside the fair Leo did his best to keep up with Mikey who practically ran; checking out every booth and stall while staring longingly up at some of the rides.As they passed by one of the booths, a man's voice called to them."Hey kid! Come over here. If you pop a balloon you'll win a prize."Leo rolled his eyes and did his
A Royal Guard's Protective ArmsMikey groaned as he slowly began to wake. He was warm; completely cocooned by the blankets on his bed; and he was not alone. He could feel Leo's arms around his hips, gently holding Mikey's smaller body against Leo's larger body."Mmmmm."The sound came from his throat without conscious thought. He couldn't help it. He felt so happy. Last night had been the best night of his life, last night he'd confessed to the man he loved and not only had Leo accepted him and not pushed him away; but they'd slept together. Another low hum came from his throat as he remembered the previous night. He'd never felt that was before. He'd never like that before. He'd never felt such need grip his body.Slowly shifting, Mikey raised his head up off the pillow to look around his room. Early morning sunlight was slowly shining into the room, making everything look slightly orange. Off in the distance he could hear guards going about their rounds. He groaned as he felt Leo's warm breath rac
Goodbye .:EnglandxReader:. (Part 1)If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours forever. -AnonymousI let out another sigh, already exhausted for the day and it was only noon. Mister England has me working day and night now, well ever since America and many others had left him. He lost Canada, Hong Kong, and so many others, I was all that was left really. I remember the happy times, when he used to be so much kinder, so loving. But that wasn't the England I know now.I am known as the personification of (c/n), but most like to call me (f/n) (l/n). I've been around for many years, it's still a wonder how I am still under British rule, but my country is small and I never get the chance to make allies to help me. England keeps me on a tight leash; there is barely a moment that he isn't watching over
Kingdom of Spirits Chapter 4Kingdom of SpiritsBy/(c) Rosanna P. BrostChapter 4The next day I wake up and its raining really hard. The damp soaks into the barn and I run to the house to tell Brinna. She immediately comes and looks and then sends me to find the cows. I gallop off, hoping Ill find them as fast as possible, because I hate getting wet. Big fat wet clods of muddy field are slashed up by my sharp hooves as I run and I wish it was sunny again, like it has been for so long. I cant find the dumb cows though. I canter along, finally coming to a splashy halt finally in a low section of field, where the water comes up to my fetlocks. Ive never been this far away from the farm, nor from the road.I set out again, calling for the silly cows and splattering muck all over myself with every move I make. Then, ahead of me I come to a place where theres a flat stretch of water, as though its really deep there. Everything is grey, brown and green as the grass is so

Cookin with The Columns: It's Eggcellent
This morning as I was cooking breakfast for guests at The Columns I wondered if I have ever given you this recipe for Surprise Eggs. The surprise is the salsa inside, but we always caution our guests that we don't want them to also be surprised that they are so hot because we serve them straight out of the oven. They puff up kind of like a souffle and look so pretty, but they are very easy to make. You can make just one for yourself or you can easily make lots of them at one time.

Twilight Meeting at Riverine Ranch
They've come a long way from their suburban Long Island home where they grew up. What's so unique about what the Foleys' do? They raise water buffalo! During their trips to Italy, they visited many farms and fell in love with the docile and intelligent personalities of the Water Buffalo. "Their high-butterfat milk is ideal for making gourmet cheese, ice-cream, and yogurt." After purchasing their first buffalo in 2005 they quickly realized they needed more land. In 2010 they acquired a 62-acre farm and are currently in the process of re-pairing infrastructure, as well as building a brand new milking parlor and state-certified kitchen where they intend to make their own buffalo mozzarella cheeses, yogurt, and ice cream.
This Twilight meeting will focus on the re-building and construction phases of livestock farms, the challenges of accessing preserved farmland in New Jersey, and how they're trying to make it financially sustainable, in addition to, why water buffalo?!
Picture from Riverine Ranch's Website
When: Monday - July 21st, 6:00PM - 8:00PM
Where: Riverine Ranch, 247 Cemetary Hill Road, Asbury, NJ 08802 (Some GPS devices may require Washington as the township)

U.S. Department of Transportation Celebrates $670 Million Grant Agreement and $160 Million TIFIA Loan to Improve Light Rail Connections in Greater Los Angeles
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
LOS ANGELES – The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) today celebrated the signing of a $670 million construction grant agreement to help build the Regional Connector light rail transit line in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. The two-mile rail segment will connect three existing transit lines, offering thousands of area residents more efficient and convenient access to jobs, education, and other ladders of opportunity. FTA Deputy Administrator Therese McMillan took part in the signing event along with Senator Dianne Feinstein, Congressman Xavier Becerra, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, Mayor Eric Garcetti, and other state and local officials.
"LA's Regional Connector will help make this city and region a better place for tens of thousands of Angelenos by ensuring that public transit not only works for everyone, but that it works better than ever," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "This Administration is committed to ensuring that every American has access to ladders of opportunity that lead to success—and access to public transportation is essential to making that happen."
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) will use FTA's grant funds to build an underground connection between the existing Metro Gold line in Little Tokyo and the Exposition and Blue light rail lines, which currently terminate at Flower and 7th Streets. The grant also includes four new light rail vehicles to augment the existing fleet. The project will reconfigure Metro's three existing LRT lines into two lines, one primarily running north to south, and one east to west. The project reconfiguration will eliminate the need for riders to make cumbersome transfers from light rail to the Metro Red or Purple Line subway system, and then back onto light rail, to reach their destinations.
"The Regional Connector will improve the quality of LA's light rail service by offering a one-seat ride that cuts travel times from Long Beach to Azusa and from East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley to Santa Monica," said FTA Deputy Administrator McMillan. "The traffic gridlock of Los Angeles has been the roadblock for many residents who need better, more reliable access to the jobs and educational opportunities offered across the metropolitan area, which is why we are proud to be a partner in the greater transit vision for the future of the Los Angeles region."
LACMTA estimates the Regional Connector will open in 2020 and initially handle roughly 60,000 trips or more each weekday. In addition to the $670 million that FTA has committed to the project through its Capital Investment Grant (New Starts) Program, LACMTA will receive $64 million in other U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) funds and a loan of up to $160 million from the DOT's Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovative Action (TIFIA) loan program. The remainder of the roughly $1.4 billion project will be funded with state and local resources.
In addition to the Regional Connector, the FTA is advancing two other major transit expansion projects in the Los Angeles metropolitan area: the Crenshaw/LAX light rail transit corridor project and Phase I of the Westside Purple Line Extension. The $2 billion Crenshaw project, which broke ground in January, is funded in part with a $545.9 million TIFIA loan and approximately $130 million in other FTA and DOT funds. DOT has approved a TIFIA loan of up to $856 million for the Westside project, which is also in line to receive funding through FTA's Capital Investment Grant Program later this year.

Derivativos financeiros: hedge, especulação e arbitrage
AbstractHedging operations acquire macroeconomic significance with the expansion of financial derivatives. The specification of the concept of such operations of risk transfer leads to modifications in the concept of speculation. Arbitrage operations intensify, but their frontiers with speculation are not always clear. Both make intense use of leverage which can result in heavy losses.

The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."
Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!
But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.
The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.
Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?
As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.
First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.
Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.
They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.
Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.

Niña restoration proposed
City would pay part of cost; others the rest
CORPUS CHRISTI - Unnamed financiers close to the Consulate General of Spain in Houston propose to restore the one Columbus replica ship that's still floating, if the city puts some money forward, too.
How much city money would go into the project isn't clear.
In exchange for financing the repairs, the group wants to move the ship to the Houston area for at least three weeks and display it during a sailing race in May.
The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History's advisory board voted to support the proposal, which is before City Manager Angel Escobar for consideration.
Escobar must decide whether he wants to negotiate with the group and agree to spend money on the project. He said he hasn't had a chance to read the proposal.
The proposal asks the city to pay for some construction supplies if the group pays to restore the Niña, which is part of a replica fleet of the ships that Christopher Columbus sailed in 1492.
The Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria replica ships docked in Corpus Christi in 1993 after a tour celebrating the 500th anniversary of Columbus's journey.
A barge crash severely damaged the Pinta and Santa Maria in 1994 and they weren't returned to the water after the repairs. All three have steadily deteriorated since, but the Niña is in the best condition.
Still, its mast would fall off if someone tried to sail it and its deck needs replacement, according to Rudy Mircovich, who works for the museum as the ships' carpenter.
The agreement plans to use a Spanish construction company to restore the Niña so it could sail. Restoration costs would be underwritten by "others," according to the memo museum director Rick Stryker gave board members.
After the board meeting Thursday, Stryker said he didn't know who would pay the costs or who the other party in the formal agreement would be.
"I know who came down here, the folks from the Spanish Consulate," he said. "I don't know who the agreement would be with. All the information we have is very vague right now."
The Spanish Consulate's office in Houston referred calls about the Columbus ships agreement to its Corpus Christi honorary consulate, Fernando Iglesias Morál, who did not immediately return a call Thursday.
But when officers from the consulate's office visited Corpus Christi in November, they said they planned to solicit donations for the repairs, including a request to the government in Huelva, Spain.
The cost of wood and iron would be paid for by the city, the proposal said. The plan also calls for using $10,000 from the Friends of the Museum's account.
It's not clear how much the supply costs would be, although the museum has an estimate. Stryker wouldn't tell board members what the estimate says.
"It doesn't serve any purpose to throw numbers around," he said.
Earlier estimates put the restoration costs at about $1 million for each ship.
The Niña would be towed from Corpus Christi to Kemah for use as a stationary display during the boat race.
The preliminary terms say the boat would stay at least three weeks in Kemah, about 30 miles southwest of Houston along Galveston Bay.
Stryker wouldn't elaborate on the length of the visit, but said the move to Kemah wouldn't be permanent.
The museum doesn't yet have a plan on how to insure the ship while it's being transported or know how much U.S. Coast Guard inspection and certification would cost.
As part of the proposal, the museum would have to come up with a plan to maintain the Niña after its repairs.
The ships, commissioned by Spain in the late 1980s, have damaged hulls, decks and masts after years without proper maintenance.
If all three ships were restored, it would cost about $300,000 a year to maintain them, Stryker said.

The Winchester Inn Review
This posh yet unpretentious inn is often booked well in advance, so plan ahead. Not only are the meals smashing, the location is smack-dab in the center of Ashland's hopping theater scene. The 11 rooms and 8 suites have character and restful charm—some have fireplaces, refrigerators, and wet bars, and private exterior entrances, and most are well-suited to having one or two children in the room. Some rooms have a fireplace and refrigerator, with Wi-Fi throughout. Its restaurant relies upon locally grown produce, fresh fish and meats, including liberal use of herbs from its own garden. The breakfasts are works of art (and available to nonguests as well).

Myanmar unrest death toll reaches 43: state media
A man surveys the damage to a mosque in central Myanmar on March 28, 2013. The death toll from recent communal violence there has risen to 43 with more than 1,300 homes and other buildings destroyed, state media reported.
Sixty-eight people have been arrested in connection with the Buddhist-Muslim unrest, which has left 11,376 people homeless, the New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported.
In total, 163 incidences of violence have been reported in 15 townships, it added.
Previously the official death toll stood at 40.
The situation appears to have calmed since President Thein Sein on Thursday vowed a tough response against those behind the violence, which he attributed to "political opportunists and religious extremists".
Security forces fired warning shots on Wednesday to disperse rioters. But Muslim leaders have criticised the security forces for failing to stop the attacks.
The clashes were apparently triggered by an argument in a gold shop that turned into a riot, but witnesses say the wave of violence since then appears to have been well organised.
It is the worst sectarian strife since violence between Buddhists and Muslims in the western state of Rakhine last year left at least 180 people dead and more than 110,000 displaced.

Chris Evans is Captain America? Big deal. The real comics casting call that's going to whip the fan community into a raucous frenzy will be over who should play Popeye. See, that irascible spinach-loving sailor will be getting his own feature film down the road, according to Empire. Avi Arad, the main who brought Marvel up into its current status as a bonafide multi-media superpower is producing this 3D CG animated project.
I've always had a soft-spot for Popeye. Perhaps it's the fact the only green I actually enjoy eating is spinach (and man, you have to be careful about eating too much of that stuff. Ewwwww…). I think it has more to do with the character's dichotomy. He's a goofy guy who gets into all sort of goofy situations, but he's still more or less a real life sailor, rough edges and all. I mean, the guy cursed like a sailor in the original comic strips by E.E. Segar before he had to clean up his act. And, in a bit of meta-fiction, he actually enlisted in the Navy and fought the Japanese during World War II. So he's dangerous as far as cartoon characters go.
This is sort of coming on the heels of the announcement of the new Smurfs movie over the past couple weeks (although this won't integrate live action). While I think the Smurfs have a better shot at reaching kids today, I'm not sure how well Popeye'll speak to modern children. Will they accept such a knucklehead into their hearts? There, of course, already was that bizarre live action musical movie from the 80s that starred Robin Williams…

The bottle asks you to drink it young, so here we go. A little bit of several styles. Hops up front, citrus c, piney. Also a little roasted barleywine imperial stoutish. A little yeasty, like a Belgian IPA. Neither style overwhelms, it is a great beverage accompaniment with supper as different tastes predominate with each course. Darkish colour with generous head.

Pours a nice reddish dark copper with some good lacing. The nose has a beautiful piney hoppiness and a bit of amber sweet malt. The taste is much the same--there is a nice malt backbone, but the dominant component is piney hops, with a bit of floral and citrus going as well. Mouthfeel is medium with nice carbonation. Overall, I liked this one quite a bit better than the 12th Anniversary, and was happy to get to try this year's release.

Beautiful blood orange with polished pomegranate highlights. The upper two-thirds of the glass is filled with an impressive looking chunk of golden brown sugar colored foam whose upper surface features bubbles galore. Extensive sheets of BB-shot lace are beginning to be laid down and succeed in solidifying a superior score.
Stone knows the way to my hop lovin' heart. Chinook for flavor and bittering, Simcoe and Centennial during dry-hopping. That's a great combination that is a pleasure to sniff. Well-chosen malts give the beer the lightly caramel-like Imperial red ale vibe they were shooting for.
One sip is all it takes to tell me that 13th Anniversary Ale is my favorite Stone Anniversary Ale to date (and I've been drinking and reviewing them since 7th Anniversary). The only minor chink in the armor is slightly too much alcohol, but that should become less of a concern as the beer loses its starting chill.
With the amount of hoppiness hitting my tongue with each sip, it's hard to imagine what this brew was like when fresh (4+ months ago). The website claims that 13th uses more hops per barrel than any previous Stone beer. That's an amazing statement when one considers what they've released over the years... and continue to brew on a regular basis. It tastes like all 90+ IBUs are still present and accounted for.
Even though there isn't a massive amount of malt, its flavor comes through loud and clear. Toasted brown bread and caramel are the bass notes. Top notes include cherries soaked in cherry brandy, bitter tea leaves and eleventy billion tons of white grapefruit peel. Chinook is the pithiest and spiciest of the C-hops and is always a treat in aggressively hopped ale.
Warming cools off the alcohol just enough to allow it to be pummeled into submission by alpha acids. It also allows just a touch of malt sweetness to try to hang in there against the humulus lupulus express. If you consider yourself a hophead, this beast will test your committment to the cause. I think it's fandamntastic, but please know what you're getting into if you decide to take a bomber home.
The body/mouthfeel is typical Stone. It's on the full side of medium-full, though the slight solvent quality of the alcohol and the unrelenting buzzsaw-like edges of the hops keep it from pampering the mouth. That's a tradeoff that I'm more than willing to make. Carbonation is (as always) pretty much perfect.
Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout was my least favorite beer in the series. I'm excited (but not surprised) that Stone has gotten things back on the right track with 13th Anniversary Ale. Unlucky? Not hardly. This is incredibly delicious hop-soaked ale that anyone who loves the little green cones should go gaga over. Keep 'em coming guys.

Appearance: Arrives with a root beer brown color and a one finger head that laces with proficiency
Smell: Grapefruity aroma, with rich malty undertones
Taste: Citrusy grapefruit dominates and builds, but there is a complex undertone of spice cake malt; after the swallow, the two flavor elements balance nicely, though the finish is a bit sticky (a Stone trademark)
Mouthfeel: Full body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: One of Stone's better efforts; really enjoyable

Aah, the anticipated Imperial Red. In true Stone fashion, this beer is flavorful, challenging, and aggressive as hell.
Begins with a sturdy dark amber hue (boardering on crimson) with very good clarity despite such dark red colors. Great foamstance and retention with malt-stained yellowish foam. Tough to knock the appearance from perfect.
Aromas are that of true Stone beers- floral, citrusy, piney, and pungent all the way. A background of malts and sunkist barley rise and give complexity to the hops. A lot going on here, could be mistaken for a Barleywine.
Flavors are extremely strong and obviously begin with the heavy dose of hops throughout. Flowery and fruity even with the onslaught of alpha acid flavor. Heavy malts come in with a toasty, toffee flavor and heavy breads (think beer breads) with molassas and sorgum. Also comming in at mid-palate is the flavors from the alcohol that deter from the malt-hops blend because of a nail polish remover taste and aggression.
The feel is equally as bold with ultimate bitterness that is tempered nicely with the bready and well attenuated malts. Not much sweetness, just malty as hell (similar to Arrogant Bastard). But again, the alcohols become quite abrupt and keep the beer from reaching full potential. Bitey and bitter the finish suffers a bit from the vodka-like alcohols.
The beer reminds me a lot of Arrogant Bastard. The hops are re-tooled and the beer seems to be a bit more caramelly and toasty instead of the simplified melanoidin notes. Still, a Stone-worthy beer indeed.

Bottle: Poured a deep dark amber color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops with a grassy feel and deep caramel malt also noticeable. Taste is also a mix between some grassy earthy hops with some deep caramel malt and a light toffee aftertaste. Body is a bit thin for the style with good carbonation and no signs of alcohol. Well done though maybe a tad too one-dimensional.

A: The color is more brown than anything, but it does have a definite reddish tint. Not much head, but off-white in color, and excellent lacing.
S: Hops, a lot of them. Tons of citrus, and it just smells bitter. A few extra sniffs gives a bit of a malt finish to the nose.
T: A lot more balanced than the scent would indicate. Of course, there are tons of hops in this bad boy, lots of citrus (again) and bitterness on the front with a nice smooth, malty finish. A bit of lingering bitterness and a bit of heat.
M: Full bodied, not much carbonation.
D: Despite the hoppiness and high ABV, it's quite drinkable. Not something you could drink all day, but very tasty.

22 ounce bottle - $5.99 at Bullock's in Marietta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, though a very darkened reddish-brown body with a frothy, light khaki-colored head.
Smell: Essentially, the nose is generously hoppy with the brash scents from the dry-hopping being very evident. Strong, steadfast notes of grass, citrus pith, and pine. The malts are present, but you have to nasally dig for them as they are buried beneath six feet of hops.
Taste: Initially, it starts off as a malty mix of pale, dark crystal, and the hints of color-correcting chocolate malts with a light sweetness. Though, as the bitterness expands and slowly accumulates on the tongue, it starts turning irrevocably towards the bitter hops. Some noticeable alcohol warmth. Hops present a potent mixture of citrus fruits (with a particular kick of orange oil), distilled pine resin, and fresh-cut natural grasses with a very bold bitterness. Finishes dry with a very long bitterness that rides out well into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Fairly smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: It's big and it's indeed hoppy, but, it's Stone, people, so that's not much of stretch. Starts as a greedy gulper, but as the hops take hold, it turns into a slow, cautious sipper. A solid anniversary brew, but, sometimes late at night, I wake up longing for their 10th.

Pours a very dark orange with a thick off white long lasting head. Big nose of grapefruit that goes to lemons.
Nice thick and creamy mouthfeel of grapefruit and burnt toast with a long grapefruit to pine resin finish.
There is also a big underlying characteristic of malt that is literally layered under the hops. Complex and wonderfully integrated huge malt and huge hops. Should prove wonderful with lots of foods.

Got a bottle of this in August of 2010, so the brew was not fresh like the bottle says it should be enjoyed. However I wanted to have it and give it a try. The brew poured out as a brownish color with a pretty decent head on it. The smell of the beer is malty and had some nice hops in there also. The taste of the brew was similar to a Barley Wine to me. Sweet, hoppy and dry. The mouthfeel was on the thicker side. Overall not a bad brew, wish I could have had it sooner just to see the difference.

I always look forward like most do the annual Stone anniversary brews.Poured a rich deep amber with a tight and sticky one finger off white head,big hops in the nose with a mix pine and herbal/leaf,there is a gummy,fruity-like sweet note as well.The mouthfeel is a bit sharp I will say it crashes down the gullett at first,it does begin to smooth out after a few sips but still seems a bit harsh.No holds barred hops hit the palate up front with big pine and big herbalness,a healthy does of sweeter alcohol gives a slight burn along with a bit of dark fruit.Very good but seems like it something that should sit for awhile,still another fine one from Stone.

Looks like this is about 6 months old...picked up a bomber in WI, never seen it before. Silkscreened bottle interested me enough, but not the tl;dr story on the back.
Pours a reddish tawny brown, some sticky lace. A cluster of tan bubbles clings to one side. Retention is ok, a skim maintains across the surface.
Sort of generic hoppy aroma, sweet specialty malts, rich and full bodied, lingering bitter aftertaste. Bready, bitter, almost a strong rye component. Too oppressive. This is pretty typical Stone, too full with one-dimensional bitterness to really drink much of. Eh, pass...

Stone 13 sits in the glass with a dark but clear crimson body and a dense, long-lasting rust-colored head. The nose is hoppy but balanced, the tobacco and grapefruit of the hops playing nicely off of the caramel and old leather malt backbone. The taste is initially rich and malty, but the grapefruit and pine hop attack takes over mid-palate, leading into an intensely bitter and resiny finish. This is a pretty easy-drinking beer despite the high ABV and moderate sweetness, and the mouthfeel never gets excessively heavy. Basically, it's exactly as advertised; an imperial red ale, not just an overhopped barleywine or dark DIPA. Good stuff, a huge improvement over the lackluster 12th anniversary stout. This one is going to fade fast though, so drink it fresh.

I liked the teenager reference on the bottle; and I love that Stone is growing! So Kudos! to Greg and Stone for 13 years of great beers!
That said, I wasn't particularly impressed with this one. Don't get me wrong, it's a good, decent American Strong Ale, and it's well-rounded (not necessarily a Stone trait - wink -). But it's also not too unlike a lot of their other beers. I guess it just doesn't stand out for me. If you put this in an Arrogant Bastard bottle and handed it to me I'd probably believe it was. Sure it's probably a little bit stronger, maybe a bit more fruity, and maybe a bit more hoppy (probably not), but it's similar. And this is an anniversary beer. ...I guess I was just expecting more.
Appearance: Hazy ruby-accented almost-chestnut-brown body beneath a frothy head of light tan that holds well and leaves great lacing behind.
Aroma: Yeasty fruitiness, darkly caramelish malt, spicy/piney/leafy/herbal hops.
Flavor: Upfront solid combination of piney/spicy/grassy/leafy hops and biscuity but dark-edged, deeply caramelish maltiness. It's on the cusp of burnt sugar and roastiness. It warms across the middle and the yeasty fruitiness rises, along with grassy/piney hops. The bracing bitterness actually steps in right at the offset, but rises to its full height at the middle. From there the malts start to fade in the swallow and finish, but the bitterness and hop flavors remains. It ends very dry, but piney/grassy, and long-lingering with a hint of roastiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full bodied with a bubbly carbonation.
Drinkability: As far as American strong ales go, it's pretty much on par. English strong ales tend to be more malty and soft, while Americans rev it up a bit, which can lead to 'hop-mouth' and sensory deprivation (no more perfectly exemplified than Stone's very own Ruination, although that's an IPA and not a strong ale - same idea). It's got lots of malt and bitterness and hoppiness and fruitiness, and yet it never really overwhelms. In fact, the yeasty fruitiness is left behind as the final note to it, which is interesting. And although you can feel the strength of it, the alcohol never really shows any more than it's supposed to in flexing its muscles. But at the same time, it lacks depth and complexity. So I don't know. I'll just go with 'it's pretty drinkable', how's that?

On-tap 7/25/09 at Track 84 in Warwick, RI, served in a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a dark reddish brown color, with a large off-white head that fades very slowly and leaves a very thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains caramelized malts, some citrus and a lot of hops.
T: The taste starts with a strong burst of floral hops that is quickly followed by a nice compliment of caramel & citrus sweetness and some roasted malts, creating a very nice balance. The after-taste is hoppy and sweet.
M: Very crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean and dry.
D: Very tasty, goes down quite easily, not too filling, strong kick, excellent representation of the imperial red IPA style, this is a great high-octane beer to drink for an entire evening.

Look I know Stone is that ballsy hit you over the head with hop bitterness, fuck those fizzy yellow beer type of brewers but how extreme can you get. Is this brewing niche going to both make and break them. I now there's enough breweries out there making standard styles, but the more and more extreme brews I try from these guys get less exciting except for a handful of exceptions. This was another pretty big disappointment, I have been drinking their Anniversary series since the 6th year (a baltic porter) and it got progressively better until the climax was reached in the 10th Anniv. with that awesome DIPA. However since the 11th (a black west coast IPA) that they have since fixed the problems and released as Sublimely Self Righteous Ale. I've not been blown away by their specialty releases including the Vertical Epics as well. Anyway enought of my rant here's this beer.
Appears a slightly clouded mildly opaque deep mahgany amber red hue, with a large lightly colored beige head. Large bubbles form and head retention is excellent, with specks of yeast sediment suspended within my chalice.
Aroma has a muddled layer of hops and malt big pine grapefruit and earthy hops plow through the deep amber roasted caramelized malt profile. A bit of onion and spicy garlic traits seem out of place within the hop profile as well. Some crystal malt is detected with a bit of booziness throughout each whiff.
Flavor has an acrid stale coffee bitterness in the roasted malt with the rest of the specialty malts not really making an effect on the palate. Pure hop bitterness and deranged uninspired hop flavors prowl around on the palate. A very unenjoyable drinking experience that I recently repeated trying to give this brew a second chance. To now avail I find this one hard to enjoy and finish even with friends sharing these bombers.
Mouthfeel that is left behind by the dry leafy, earthy, grapefruit peel is the morning after drinking at a brewfest hangover mouthfeel after having a couple cigars with your brews. Medium bodied carbonation no complaints nothing exciting hop oils are a bit resinous which only makes the pure bitterness camp out on the palate.
Drinkability overall is sad, and an experience I probably won't have again no direction for this over hopped unbalanced Anniversary brew by one of the pioneers of the extreme brewing revolution. This one will make you wanna grab a fizzy yellow beer maybe even a PBR.

Heroin Dealers Prey on addicts trying to recover. Often times they set up shop right outside of places recovering addicts go to get help. Louis is trying to stay clean from a 31 1/2 year heroin addiction. "It consumed my whole life", he says "They're going to come, they're going to come" says Louis. "They try to bring you down where you're at", says Christopher, a newly recovered addict who is 7 months clean. This is his second time in treatment for a multi year Heroin addiction. "It's hard for them to fight when someone is dangling it in front of their faces." says an undercover Toledo vice officer. "It's got a grip on our society that is going to be tough to combat anytime soon, we're playing catch up now," he says.
Just 7 months into the year, Toledo's hitting record high numbers of overdoses. 129 so far, and it's only July. Vice officers say it's going to be a bit longer before they can pull out the numbers of those overdoses that have been fatal. "I was in narcotics 7 years prior to this, and I've never seen anything like this numbers wise."

Thousands of U.S. companies rely on the services of professional recruiting firms to fill employment needs. Some companies choose not to work with recruiters for various reasons – in house HR, specificity, budgeting concerns – but there are plenty more good reasons to bring in a professional recruiting team to help with staffing needs.
Here are a few instances your business should consider using a recruiter to help meet its hiring…
Usually when a recruiter contacts someone via LinkedIn, it's because s/he saw something of interest on that person's profile. Then there's THIS GUY that apparently liked what he saw enough to plagiarize…Continue

Way back when I first joined LinkedIn I was considered by many of my (regular, non-HR/recruiter) contacts to be an ambassador and promoter of the site. For several (perhaps hundreds) of my connections, I was their first. Less active networkers, distant colleagues, friends, or acquaintances would often comment to me…Continue

After some recent scheduling inconsistencies causing a few extra absences from the gym, I was pumped to get my sweat on today. My energy level was revved up from the brief break, so I was eager to take advantage of the situation to get back in the groove.

In 2013, Robin Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell Williams brought us a song called "Blurred Lines" that reached #1 on the charts for 12 consecutive weeks and sold 14.8 million copies. If you aren't familiar with the song itself, you probably are familiar with the stir it caused when Thicke…Continue

I sometimes think people are thinking far too hard and becoming much too confused about the whole recruitment process and how to attract applicants.
Job boards to me are the ideal and only place I would look for jobs. Why? Because it is so bloody simple. I register and set up some search terms so that…Continue

This is the 5th in the series on lesser known sites to source from. As you saw in the first one we used x-raying to source, well guess what we are again and guess what it still works and it works for free.

Every few months or so, a new game app comes around that my 16 year old daughter and all of her friends go crazy over. They sit there in a deep stare, barely moving, likely not even breathing - then BOOM - an eruption of disappointment, followed by the resolve to do even better next time, even if it means subsidizing their time spent on homework or interacting with their parents.

This is the hardest blog post I've ever written. Some will say it's too personal, and they're probably right. My regular readers know this blog is a diary of sorts, I generally write about whatever is top of mind and damn the consequences. Others may feel…Continue
