This might be my last Byrd that I ever buy.... to many other manufactures without issues or factory defects like this.
I just received a new Crossbill and the amount of effort to open this knife is damned ridiculous. VERY STIFF! I am beyond dissatisfied.
I see no way to open this knife as it is the Stainless Steel version.
I was told that there is no pivot screw inside and that it is pinned (?)
Anyone out there have suggestions ?

Vote Alert
"YES" on H.R. 3409, the "Stop the War on Coal Act of 2012."
September 20, 2012
NTU urges all Representatives to vote "YES" on H.R. 3409, the "Stop the War on Coal Act of 2012." This legislation will halt costly regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), bringing much needed accountability to our energy policies.
Recent coal-mine layoffs, combined with mine and coal-fired power plant closures have only exacerbated our persistently high unemployment and economic struggles. The challenges facing the coal industry are largely the result of increasingly burdensome EPA regulations that drive up energy prices, inflicting higher costs on struggling energy producers, manufacturers, and consumers alike.
H.R. 3409 contains two major reforms in particular that will help rein in the EPA's power grab. Title II would block the EPA from implementing an economically damaging regime of greenhouse gas regulations under the auspices of the Clean Air Act, thereby protecting taxpayers from the EPA's backdoor "cap-and-trade" scheme. It does so by reestablishing Congressional authority over energy policies, keeping the power to tax out of the hands of unaccountable bureaucrats at the EPA.
Title III would create a committee to analyze the cumulative and incremental economic impact of the EPA's regulatory policies on global competitiveness, manufacturing, energy prices, and jobs, thus ensuring more thoughtful deliberation of EPA rules. An accurate, robust cost-benefit analysis would prevent the EPA's damaging Utility MACT rule from moving forward, saving hundreds of thousands of jobs the EPA seems willing to throw away in pursuit of an unachievable emission standard.
Affordable energy is the cornerstone of a solid economy, and unless Congress acts quickly to curtail the EPA's excesses, jobs across every sector will continue to be at risk.
Roll call votes on H.R. 3409 will be included in our annual Rating of Congress and a "YES" vote is considered the pro-taxpayer position.If you have any questions, please contact NTU Federal Affairs Manager Nan Swift at (703) 683-5700******************************

Body Shots Movie Review
Body Shots is not that movie.
You know it from the start, when a battered Sara (Reid) comes careening through the streets of L.A., obviously post-rape. Nothing starts a movie off quite like a rape aftermath, but in flashback, the film starts to look up. The next half hour tells us about the night before, when four guys and four girls go to a downtown club, all looking to hook up for the night.
Some of them do, and some don't. And one of these entanglements ends up badly. At first, Livingston alone provides comic relief as a semi-lovable loser who shows up in golfing regalia and can't get in the club. But on The Day After, Body Shots quickly degenerates into a Movie of the Week that would play better on Lifetime, with a he said/she said legal war that is never resolved.
While Body Shots has its moments, by and large it's a poor entry into the genre. Its "clever" photography and self-referential nonsense gets old, quickly. The speeches given directly to camera are silly and unrealistic: No one acts like this. Even the title doesn't make sense. There are no body shots in the movie. (The title was recently changed from the trademark-challenged Jello Shots, and there is no Jello in the movie, either.)

BONN, Germany, February 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Telekom and Daimler to collaborate on connected cars.
- More convenience with new online services.
Daimler AG is announcing a partnership with Deutsche Telekom that will promote the carmaker's planned launch of communications services in its motor vehicles worldwide. The collaboration is sharply focused on providing new online services and web applications for use in automobiles. Such services include real-time traffic information, mobility options, personal radio and access to social networks. Drivers can take advantage of all online services and their Mercedes-Benz apps - anywhere and worldwide - with the COMAND Online multimedia system. Telekom is developing the unique communications infrastructure required for this innovative solution from Daimler AG, with headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. In addition, Telekom will equip future Mercedes-Benz models with special machine-to-machine (M2M) SIM chips that will ensure adequate mobile transmission capacities.
Horst Leonberger, head of the "Connected Car" business area at Deutsche Telekom, points out the significance of this development: "When buying a car today, people are interested in features that go beyond the horsepower under the hood. Customers also want to have innovative online services and fast Internet connectivity in their cars. We are currently the only provider offering a cloud infrastructure, services and connectivity - all from a single source. And with that expertise we give our customers intelligent mobility solutions for more convenience and safety on the road."
Peter Häußermann, head of Electronics and Telematics at Daimler AG, says: "We are looking forward to working closely with Deutsche Telekom. The company is a strong partner that will boost our worldwide offering of mobile online services. This will be evident at CeBIT, where we plan to show our product highlights at the Deutsche Telekom stand."
Experience our products and services live at CeBIT from March 5-9 at the Deutsche Telekom stand C26 in hall 4. Deutsche Telekom's entire presence at the trade fair is carbon-neutral. All CO2 emissions generated in setting up and operating the stand are fully offset by carbon-reduction projects abroad.

Smash Speed Limits In The Bugatti Legend Meo Constantini Supercar
The Bugatti Veyron wears the proud title of fastest production car in the world, according to Digital Trends, and that speed comes at a price. Not only would one of these monsters set you back seven figures if you were able to afford it, but you'd also have to spend another small fortune keeping it stocked with enough gasoline to drive across town and back. The Veyron, available in its latest special edition as the Legend Meo Constantini (pictured), reportedly produces at less than 11 miles per gallon. Then again, you don't buy a car like this to brag to Read More

Comments about South Shore Summer Breeze Nightstand - Blueberry:
We bought this whole set (bookcase captains bed, chest and nightstand) for my toddler. [...] Pieces were not complicated to put together, just took some time. The book case captains bed probably took the longest at 2 1/2 hrs. I am very pleased with the color and how sturdy the furniture is; it is a great value for the money and would gladly buy the brand again.

text: TOSSUPS -- TENNESSEE MOON PIE CLASSIC 2003 -- UTC (Questions by Carol Guthrie, with an assist from Markus Iturriaga Woeffel) 1. A "historical autopsy" performed on him by the Clinico-Pathologic Conference in 2002 announced that he died as a result of Fournier's gangrene. This diagnosis is consistent with the details of his death as recorded by Flavius Josephus, describing such symptoms as intense itching, intestinal pain, shortness of breath, convulsions, and gangrene of the genitalia. This would seem to be a fitting death for the man who, according to the Gospel of Matthew, ordered the deaths of all male children two years old and younger in Bethlehem and its surrounding districts. FTP, name this King of Judea who ordered the Massacre of the Innocents in a bid to wipe out the just-born Jesus. Answer: Herod the Great 2. At age 23, he served as first violinist in the orchestra conducted by Jacques Offenbach during his tour of America in 1877. He wrote several comic operettas, among them ElCapitán (1896), The Bride Elect (1898), The Free Lance (1906), and The Glass Blowers (1913). In 1880, he was appointed to head the Marine Band at the White House, which spurred him to write such works as "Hands Across the Sea" and "Semper Fidelis." FTP, who is this "king of the march," famous for "The Washington Post March" and "The Stars and Stripes Forever" Answer: John Philip Sousa 3. Its fibers are based on poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide, a rigid molecule that makes it easier to realize a fully extended, or straight, chain configuration, and they have a density of 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter. Made from organic polymers based on light elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, rather than heavy elements, such as iron, this organic fiber in the aromatic polyamide family was discovered by chemists at DuPont in 1965. FTP, identify this material which is five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis and which can resist temperatures up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Answer: Kevlar 4. The Swedish presenter who read this writer's Nobel acceptance speech deleted the last line as being too political...the line was "So let none at this festive table forget that political prisoners are on hunger strike this very day in defense of the rights that have been curtailed or trampled under foot." He was not in attendance to personally receive his prize, but heard the speech while listening to a radio in the dacha of his friend, the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. Expelled from the Soviet Union in 1794, he indicted Soviet repression in a number of his works. FTP, name this author of Cancer Ward and The Gulag Archipelago. Answer: Alexander Solzhenitsyn 5. The fighting was limited mainly to Allahabad, Lucknow, Meerut, and other places in the Ganges Valley, although there were also skirmishes in Madras, Bombay, and the Punjab. British commander Colin Campbell was successful in squashing this effort by natives hoping to restore the Mogul emperor, Bahadur Shah II, to power. It was triggered by a rumor that a new type of paper cartridge was greased with animal fat, which was religiously offensive to Indian soldiers in the British armed forces. The cartridges had to be bitten before use, so grease from cattle would violate religious restrictions of the Hindus, and grease from swine, that of the Muslims. FTP, by what name is this Indian Mutiny of 1857-58 known? Answer: Sepoy Mutiny or Rebellion (ask for more info on early buzz w/Indian Mutiny) 6. Researchers are taking advantage of these to develop clever nanotechnology applications in medical imaging and drug delivery, as well as new approaches to building electronic devices. Specifically, researchers hope to use its capsid, or protein coat, minus its nucleic acid to develop these new technologies. FTP, what are these sub-microscopic, obligate intracellular parasites with a noncellular structure composed mainly of nucleic acid within a protein coat, whose members include the Epstein-Barr variety. Answer: Viruses or viral systems 7. In his Lives of the Artists, Vasari said of this man: "While we may term other works paintings, those of "blank" are living things; the flesh palpitates, the breath comes and goes, every organ lives, life pulsates everywhere." This artist received his earliest training from his father, who later sent him to study under Pietro Perugino. His early works include the five predella scenes, Agony in the Garden, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Francis, Procession to Calvary, and The Three Graces. FTP, name this gifted painter of the High Renaissance, noted for his many renderings of the Virgin Mary. Answer: Raphael Santi or Sanzio 8. Some of the abandoned titles for this novel included Under the Red White and Blue, The High Bouncing Lover, and Among the Ash Heaps. A late-draft version of the novel was published in 2000 under another rejected title, which was the name of a character from Petronius's Satyricon, who, appropriately enough, was a rich and vulgar social climber who enjoyed playing host to an endless supply of partygoers and parasites. The character's name and 200 edition was "Trimalchio." Ultimately, the author's editor, Max Perkins, and wife, Zelda, managed to convince him to adopt this title. FTP, identify this novel featuring Nick Carraway and Daisy Buchanan. Answer: The Great Gatsby 9. His obituary in the August 26, 1900 New York Times stated he "died...of apoplexy." Other quotes from that obituary include: "Of Slavonic ancestry [he] was born in 1844 in the village of Rocken, on the historic battlefield of Lutzen. He lost his parents early in life, but received a fine education at the Latin School at Pforta, concluding his studies at Bonn and Leipsic". FTP, identify this philosopher and author of "The Old Faith and the New," "The Overman," "The Dawn of Day," and "Twilight of the Gods." Answer: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche 10. The son of a petty salt merchant and his "second wife," or concubine, he joined the Methodist Church in 1931 and created the New Life Movement. When revolts broke out in China in October, 1911, he resigned from the Japanese Army, returned to the Chinese mainland and took the field against the Manchu forces. A capable commander, he led a successful attack on Hangchow and later held military positions in the Shanghai area. During World War II, his forces fought both the Japanese and the Communist insurgents led by Mao. FTP, name this Chinese leader forced to retreat to Taiwan in 1949. Answer: Chiang Kai-shek 11. This was originally the name given by the Greeks to a special marble found in Asia Minor used in caskets because it was believed to have the property of destroying the entire body, except for the teeth, within a few weeks. Many Greek and Etruscan ones were made in the shape of a couch, while under the rule of the Roman emperors they were elaborately decorated with mythological scenes carved on the sides and statues of the deceased on the lid. From the Greek for "flesh eater", FTP, what are these elaborate burial casket not sunk underground? Answer: sarcophagus or sarcophagi 12. Its author wrote a parody of this poem in a 1925 letter, which goes: "Rouen is the rainiest place getting/ Inside all impermeables, wetting/ Damp marrow in drenched bones./ Midwinter soused us coming over Le Mans / Our inn at Niort was the Grape of Burgundy/ But the winepress of the Lord thundered over that/ grape of Burgundy/ And we left in a hurgundy./ (Hurry up, Joyce, it's time!). . . ." Divided into five sections, this poem's first section, "Burial of the Dead," begins with the line "April is the cruelest month." FTP, name this famous poem by T.S. Eliot. Answer: The Wasteland 13. His grandfather, a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, became a colonel in the Confederate Army and was killed in action at the battle of Cedar Creek. He was born on the family ranch at San Gabriel, Calif., and in 1913 he went to France to study French saber methods, and on his return was made Master of the Sword at the Mounted Service School, Fort Riley, Kansas. He accompanied Gen. John J. Pershing as his aide on the expedition into Mexico after Pancho Villa in 1916. In 1914, he saw action at the battle of Cambrai, where the British first used tanks on a large scale. FTP, name this American military hero who commanded a corps in North Africa, the 7th Army in Sicily, and the 3rd Army during World War II. Answer: George Smith Patton, Jr. 14. He had a pet pelican named Parsifal and his grave, on the banks of the Ogooue River, is marked by a cross he made himself. Born at Kaystersberg, Haute Alsace in 1875, at age 18 he entered the University of Strasbourg as a student in theology, philosophy and musical theory, while contemporaneously studying the organ in Paris under the legendary Charles Marie Widor. In his most controversial work, published in 1910, he depicted Jesus as a child of his times who shared the eschatological ideas of late Judaism and who looked for an immediate end of the world. FTP, name this noted humanitarian, author of The Quest for the Historical Jesus, who won the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for work at his hospital at Lambarene, Gabon. Answer: Albert Schweitzer 15. Jean Perrin made a quantitative experimental study of the dependence of this on temperature and particle size, thus providing verification for Einstein's mathematical formulation for it. The first satisfactory theoretical treatment of it was made by Albert Einstein in 1905. Observed in all types of colloidal suspensions, it can be described as the zigzag, irregular motion exhibited by minute particles of matter when suspended in a fluid. FTP, what is this phenomenon named for the botanist who first observed it while examining the movement of plant spores floating in water. Answer: Brownian movement or motion 16. He astonished Charles Dickens by revealing the identity of the murderer in Barnaby Ridge while that book was still in serialization. The son of acting parents who died by the time he was age 3, he was taken into the home of his godfather, John Allan. From 1838 to 1844, he lived in Philadelphia, where he edited Burton's Gentleman's Magazine and Graham's Magazine. Earlier, in 1827, he published his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems, which was followed, in 1838, by The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. FTP, name this noted writer whose magazine stories were collected as Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque. Answer: Edgar Allan Poe 17. In the 7th and 8th centuries, this civilization resembled the ancient Greece of Athens vs. Sparta, with small states lining up behind two superpower city states: Calakmul and Dos Pilas. According to recently discovered hieroglyphics, Calakmul conquered dos Pilas, taking its king prisoner then restoring him as a puppet ruler. He then initiated a 10-year war against the king of Tikal, his own brother, who was ultimately sacrificed. FTP, identify this ancient civilization., which at one time had as many as twenty states existing on the Yucatan Peninsula. Answer: Mayan or the Mayas 18. They are said to have Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension. Julia sets of them are created by entering a complex number into a recursive function. Another model is Serpinski's gasket. Their name was taken from the Latin for "to break" and "fragmented" by their discoverer, Benoit Mandelbrot. FTP, what are these extremely irregular curves or shapes, whose natural examples include clouds, coastlines, and lightning? Answer: Fractals 19. While in Argentina, he was bitten by the Benchuca bug, "the great black bug of the Pampas", which is now known to carry the Chagas' blood parasite in its feces. This may explain why he suffered from flatulence, vomiting, weakness and fatigue throughout his life. Despite these troubles, he transformed his home at Down House into a self-contained biological field station, where he, among other things, raised 57 different kinds of gooseberries. FTP, name this scientist whose revolutionary theories were championed by Thomas Huxley, and which he developed after his 5 year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. Answer: Charles Darwin 20. He explained his get-rich scheme in an 1885 letter to his mother thusly: "Several thousand rifles are on their way to me from Europe.

Bridgestone Successfully Protects Brand and Trademark Rights
Bridgestone Cooperation ("Bridgestone") announced the successful results of a trademark infringement complaint against Chinese manufacturers that attempted to infringe on the goodwill established by Bridgestone intellectual property. Bridgestone has been successful in causing certain businesses to cease the use of two similar sounding names, "Rockstone" and "Bridgesteel".
March 22, 2009 12:00 by Aarti Nagraj
For Rockstone; Bridgestone filed a trademark infringement complaint against Shandong Santai Rubber Co., Ltd., (Subsequently, Shandong Santai), an entity that manufactured and marketed tires under the "Rockstone" brand, a name which closely resembles the famous Bridgestone trademark.
In addition, Bridgestone has been taking actions to prevent the distribution of Shandong Santai products to various regions throughout the world. These responses include filing a trademark complaint in the Netherlands in October 2008 against a Shandong Santai dealership-Heuver Banden Groothandel BV.
As a result of these legal actions, in November 2008 Bridgestone reached an agreement with the dealership, and in December 2008 it also reached an agreement with Shandong Santai, of which included the suspension of the manufacturing and marketing of tires using "Rockstone" name.
For Bridgesteel; Bridgestone filed trademark infringement complaint against Hangzhou Bridgesteel Rubber Co., Ltd., a company that manufactured and marketed conveyor belts under the "Bridgesteel" brand, a name which closely resembles the famous Bridgestone registered trademark.
In September 2007, Bridgestone filed a trademark infringement complaint at the Hangzhou intermediate people's court. A decision to uphold the complaint was issued at the end of 2008. The court ruled that the plaintiff must cease the use of the Chinese equivalent of "Bridgesteel" as its Company name.
Fundamental to Bridgestone's corporate Philosophy to imitation products and services is to give the highest importance to customer safety and peace of mind. Going forward, Bridgestone will continue to maintain and improve its brand value by proactively identifying parties who attempt to imitate its trademarks and initiate legal proceedings against them.

Thanks to goryshkewych for this one!
This one looks black at a glance, but a nice, nutty red wine comes through when held to the light. The head is an irregular tan film.
Smells of molasses, pungent sour coffee, cherry pie and sour grains.
Tastes of a similar blend of molasses, caramel, red grapes and day old coffee.
Feels a tad viscous with a frothy carbonation that appears out of nowhere and jams things up a bit.
Fun to try, but not one I'll seek out again.

S: The smell of fudge, the smell has a tasty sweet smell.
T: The tastes of licorice, chocolate and caramel.

A - Pours black with 2 inches of tan head, which leaves some rings of lacing as it falls.
S - Chocolate, coffee, roast malt, alcohol
T - Large amount of roast malts at first, with some chocolate and coffee coming through. Alcohol warmth comes through in the aftertaste.
M - Creamy, full, smooth, surprising amount of carbonation.
D - Much better than the original and worth a try.

Nice appearance, with a jet black body and a light tan head, which has good retention an deposits globs of lacing on the glass. Dry roasted grain aroma mixing in with cocoa. The taste is fine, but by no means spectacular. Kinda reminds me of a slightly amped up Irish dry stout. Prominent oak and stale coffee flavours, mixed in with cocoa powder. Some hints of fruit and sugar, but overall very dry. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. Alcohol isn't even perceptible.
This didn't really impress me that much. While it is a decent beer its not in the same class as other foreign/export stouts, and it didn't have the richness of flavour I look for.

Thank you Abusmaster. Jet black with substantial off-white creamy head. Good malty and licorice and roasted barley aroma. Taste is dry and bitter, baker's chocolate, with diesel fuel and smoke at the end of the bottle. Easy creamy mouthfeel while you absord this dry stout, Certainly better than any Guinness I have had, far from the best stout.

Take your normal Guinness and put it on steroids. Darker. Thicker. Sweeter. Then make it only availible in Belgium and (where I found it) West Germany to torment beer drinkers everywhere else, and you have Guinness Special Export.
Coloring is almost completely black, with a strong tan head. Scent is pretty much identical to taste in every way, strong but not overpowering, dark fruits, coffee, chocolate. This beer is thick and creamy, to the point that it severely hurts the drinkability. Nice to sit down with one and relax, but this is by no means an every day sipper or a drink to get drunk sort of beer.

Bottle split thanks to Bobsy. Thanks for sharing this hard to get brew!
Pours a dark dark brown with mahogany around the edges, a light cappuccino head. Not a ton of bubbles.
First thing I get off the nose is honey bread (odd I know), followed by smooth choco nibs and a hint of caramel. Some light roasting, sweet smelling.
Taste is light cocoa, choco nibs, hints of dark fruits, coffee grinds, a touch of baking chocolate, honey, vanilla. Luxurious body, smooth and yet light feeling in the mouth - not heavy at all. Dry finish.
As Bobsy said, kind of an amped up Dry Irish though, to be honest, I was also disappointed. This lacked the bold roast flavor that I would be looking for, focused too much on the sweet chocolate, and, while certainly complex and rich in flavor, lacked in body. A nice beer and miles better than your average Guiness but still not something that I would get excited about. Thanks again Rob!

Black porter looking beer with a thin tan head. Roasty nose with some burnt edges. Tastes like regular Guinness with more body, more roast, added baking chocolate, and not as much sour tang - almost none in fact except where the bitterness of the roasted malts come into play. Not unlike an imperial stout, but perhaps on the milder side of that.

Bottle dated 30-09-13
Poured into a big wine glass. Fairly dark but the black body gives way to brown highlights. The head is thick and fluffy with bigger bubbles interspersed on top. Settles down fairly quickly but sticks around well.
Dark fruit and roast dominate the smell on this at first but there is some dark chocolate fudginess as well that comes out making this really inviting.
The taste is of dark fruit, a little roast and chocolate.
Smooth although fairly fizzy with a medium body.
Not super flavorful but very nice.

Looks delicious, deep brown to black, really compact head, tight bubbles. Didn't like the aroma so much (oily, buttery mollasses. Fat toffee and roast, thick and rich. Very long roasty finish, quite bitter. Some mollases and raisins aswell, very thick mouthfeel. Beautiful rich, bitter chocolate finish. A beautifully rich stout.

Bottle courtesy Trappistenbier, a big Thanks to Filip for bringing this from your home country.
A: Pours very deep dark black with a towering brown head. The retenion is great with spotty lace noted. Nice.
S: Nothing like your normal ho hum Guinness. Bold aromas with hints of coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit.
T: Taste of nice sweet malt and brown sugar. Hints of coffee and chocolate as well. Mild in taste but a good blend of flavors.
M: Medium in body, pretty smooth.
D: Nice treat, wish this was on tap in every bar in America instead of our version of Guinness.

0.33l bottle, purchased and consumed in Brussels Belgium out of a chalice.
Deep dark/black with reddish mahogany visible at the very top edge. Not at all translucent. Thin tan head of small bubbles, quickly dissapates.
Smells of molasses, and barley.
Flavor has a residual molasses, slight bit of dark chocolate, and a bit of coffee. Hard to pin the overall flavor. Hops in a long lingering finish. More bitter than a Guinness.
Good full mouth feel, that hits the palette in waves. Seems a bit thin, especially considering the color, but not lacking.
Not a beer I would consider drinking more than one of. I suppose it would be good to fit a niche - like if I was dying for a beer but also really wanted a coffee, and it had to be at exactly the same time. Since I can't imagine when that would happen, I don't know that I would reach for it again, given the wealth of other options available.
Overall a good beer, but likely only to be purchased for visitors who can't find it in the US.

Thanks to dougofthefuture for this one.
Poured into snifter. Pours a finger of creamy chocolate hued head. Great retention leaving some thick lace rings. Color is pretty much black.
Aroma: Chocolate milk and cocoa powder. Creamy and nutty. Kind of sweet.
Taste: It reminds me more of stout than the other guinness beers I have had, but I can still pick out the guinness characteristics in it. It is very chocolately and creamy. Has a cocoa powder flavor. Creamy again with a touch of nuts. A bit of coffee and roast in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and dry. Medium to full bodied with a bit higher amount of carbonation. Ends dry and roasted.
Overall, this was a decent stout. It was very flavorful and pretty easy to drink. Thanks Doug for this one!

Bottle thanks to drabmuh. Served in a Bruery tulip.
Pours with a thin tan head and a nearly-black body. There are some light spots of lacing around the sides and bubbles on top. The nose is light roast and a surprising amount of caramel and, especially, toffee character. There's some light candy and brown sugar as well.
The taste brings a good dose of toffee along with some light roasted character and some super mild espresso following through after that. Medium body with moderate carbonation. The finish is fairly smooth and slightly dry. This is nice and easy to drink. The finish seems to dry out even more as I get through the bottle. Pretty good stuff. Thanks again, Matt.

Big thanks to tprokop7 for sending this rare extra and finally knocking if off my wants list.
33cl. brown bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Pours pitch black with a large creamy mocha head with some pretty decent retention. Nice lacing throughout.
S: Lots of roasty aromas backed by some cream notes. There's a definite lactic smell throughout, close to a milk stout. Plenty of sweetness, maybe some vanilla.
T/M: Nicely roasted malts, not too bitter but nicely balanced. More of the somewhat big lactic notes. Pretty sweet with more of the vanilla. Has a pretty dry finish that kind of tastes like necco wafers. Light, milky, chocolately notes in the back that come out further as it warms. Body is medium with nicely smooth carbonation. A bit of alcohol comes out as it warms and adds a nice touch. If not at room temperature, you'd never guess this at 8%.
D: Pretty easily drinkable and 8% isn't much of a factor. Very glad I got to try this. Thanks Todd!

Got this at the bottle shop down the road from me.
From a bottle into a snifter
APPEARANCE: Pours black with some nice carbonation effect after the initial pour. Afterwards, no carbonation evident at all. A big three finger medium tan head fades relatively slowly into a thin film. Some lacing evident.
SMELL: Dark fruits initially, with some roasted barley malt and some black licorice. Nose is alright and powerful enough.
TASTE: Mirrors nose somewhat. Roasted barley malt with a smoky component as well up front, with some bitter hops and chocolate flavors through the finish. A touch of alcohol at the end, but well controlled. Alcohol and bitterness in a strong and longer lasting aftertaste. Good stuff for sure.
PALATE: Medium-thick body and pretty creamy on the palate. Carbonation is there but balanced well. Goes down smooth but finishes with a bit of a bite. A slight bit of stickiness lingers. Good here.
OVERALL: Obviously this is a very different beer than their pub draft; they are not comparable and are not meant to be compared. I could see how someone who loves the pub draft would not like this. Too bad, because this is a great beer on its own right. It's certainly drinkable, and the nose is sharp and impressive. Looks and feels great too. This is a perfect example of how good Gunniess can be. One I'll re-visit. Recommended.

Color black with dark brown. The charred malt feels strongly, it offers scents of caramel brown, bitter coffee and a little toffee. The entry on the palate is alcoholic, slightly burnt and it offers, tasting, sour and bitter tingling that spread in the finish, added a powerful lasting bitterness. Good command of such export stout, well balanced and offers a nice range of flavors, it is the archetype without sublimate kind. Heady, strong and powerfully bitter, it is quickly exhilarating.

thanks shaughn256 for the taste
11.2 oz bottle. pour is a bit difficult.. not knowing what to expect, i pour this into an imperial pint. familiar guinness cascade of bubbles stops 1/10th of the way through and sits there with an 8-finger head. definitely a different beer composition here. slightly seethru.. black with brownish foam, dissolving slowly into crusty craters leaving dank lacing on the glass. smells like marzipan and fruity yeast. not at all what i expect from a guinness, but very mouthwatering nonetheless. significantly thinner and fluffier. flavor is deep and complex, only playing partially off what irish/american guinness represents in its trademark roasted bitterness. alcohol strength and slight banana/floral character help to balance a significantly less chalky big bitterness. lactosian creamy sweetness emerges with warmth.
a better version of a beer that i thought was subpar to begin with. good mouthfeel but doesn't stand up to the familiar nitro smoothness when consumed from a not-so-fresh standard bottle. just as drinkable if not moreso than the original. glad i got a chance to try this crazy bastardization of a beer.

Ever Hear the One About Hamlet's Mother?
By Tom Sellar
If Sarah Bernhardt was the greatest star of the 19th-century stage, Eleonora Duse was the greatest actress. Bernhardt made her reputation in such tragic roles as Racine's Phèdre and Marguerite from Dumas fils's La Dame aux Camélias. Duse played her fair share of characters sentenced to overwrought deaths, but she adored the more neurotically unstrung heroines of Ibsen and was said to have given Stanislavsky the model for his revolution in acting. As drama critic for The Saturday Review, George Bernard Shaw had the opportunity to see these two great performers square off against each other in London. While admiring Bernhardt's dazzling artifice and technique, he noted that she "does not enter into the leading character: She substitutes herself for it. All this is precisely what does not happen in the case of Duse, whose every part is a separate creation."
Otho Eskin's Duetimagines a final meeting between these two rivals, a deathbed scene in Pittsburgh where the ghost of Bernhardt visits an ailing Duse, whose years of debilitating touring are about to come to an unglamorous end. The hackneyed setup allows for a review of all the essential historical facts, most of which can be gleaned from Helen Sheehey's valuable new book, Eleonora Duse, a straightforward biography that contains a good deal more drama than Eskin's perfunctory theatricalization.
What makes the production, directed by Ludovica Villar-Hauser, worth watching is the performance of Pamela Payton-Wright, who captures the suffering radiance of Duse in all its internal quiet and delicacy. Playing the "divine Sarah," the accomplished Laura Esterman has in some ways the trickier challenge. We have fewer direct analogies to the majestic panther-like style of the French tragedienne than we do to the Italian actress who was the forerunner of the modern psychological tradition. Yet what lover of the art of acting could not be thankful for the chance to see two talented American veterans pay homage to predecessors of genius?

Not everyone is happy about the video rental policy in MA, Story Here.
An Easthampton woman whose 13-year-old son recently came home from the library with several R-rated videos is mounting a campaign to give parents a say in what their children can check out from the library\'s collection.
Bennett, however, was not so happy. She and \"quite a few\" supporters plan to petition the library\'s executive board at its monthly meeting March 13 to set up a card system for library patrons under the age of 17 that will allow parents to indicate whether their children should be allowed to check out R-rated videos.
\"I\'m not (trying to) take away anybody\'s freedom,\" Bennett said yesterday, stressing that it should be up to parents to decide for their own children under age 17 whether they should have access to films that the movie industry has deemed suitable only for those aged 17 and above.
This Story from Hudsonville, MI.
The Gary Byker Memorial Library\'s Internet computers, which
had been unplugged since December, will fire up once again
after a city commission decision Wednesday to repeal an
Internet filter ordinance.
The city commission voted 6-1 in favor of an ordinance
submitted by about 80 Hudsonville residents asking that an
ordinance to filter all but one computer be repealed. -- Read More

Last year, the Free Library of Philadelphia got into a flap

R-rated movies.
Yesterday, library president Elliot L. Shelkrot acknowledged
that the policy had been changed. Now borrowers as young as
12 have access to all material, including videos.

A story on the new library in San Francisco, CA.
A city-commissioned report calling for $28 million in fixes to the 3-year-old Main Library received its first public airing.
The $240,000 report was commissioned to find solutions to a shortage of library shelf space and to complaints that books were difficult to find. But several of the nearly 60 people who attended Thursday night\'s meeting were disabled and worried the direction of the study would exclude them from the library\'s services.
\"Get a little sense,\" said the 54-year-old San Francisco resident as he addressed the commissioners and the team of library experts that worked on the study. \"I can\'t believe the commission paid to have this survey done.\" -- Read More
This Story is a follow up on the report we had a few weeks ago on a charge of censorship in a library.
In the aftermath of a charge of censorship, the Schaumburg Township library board has revised its policy on how new materials are added to its collection.
On Monday, the board voted to add an appeals process to the policy. The move came a month after the board denied a request by Hoffman Estates resident Christopher Bollyn to donate a copy of \"Final Judgment\" by Michael Collins Piper to the library.
The library\'s criteria to decide whether to acquire a book, ranges from the reputation or significance of the author to reviews of the material and its cost. -- Read More

Patrons with more than $50 in lost or long-overdue materials from the Georgetown Township Library could end up with a black mark on their credit report.
The Township Board recently approved a proposal by library officials that will allow the library to start a program to recover some of the more than $22,000 in materials owed by patrons.
Of the amount owed, $18,637.67 is owed by patrons in the library service area; the remainder is owed by patrons from other libraries and through interlibrary loans.
Library officials hope to begin the program by May 1 for 131 patrons with outstanding bills of at least $50. They expect to recover $11,880.67 through the program.
greenvillenews.com has a story on house cleaning in the Greenville County.
Concerned about operations and what they perceive as mismanagement at the Greenville County Library, members of the County Council cleaned house Tuesday with their decision to replace four of five incumbents in the election of seven trustees.
Council Chairman Dozier Brooks said he thinks there was a lot of concern about operations problems and mismanagement at the library in addition to the council\'s interest in wanting to move ahead on plans for a new library.
\"I just felt like there was a lack of oversight at the library, and I think we\'ve elected seven good people to get the problems solved and keep us on schedule with plans for a new county library,\" Brooks said. -- Read More

Library access to Internet not problem it\'s perceived to be.
By Jim Johnson
South Carolina\'s public libraries are being characterized in press reports as being places where children are exposed to pornography over the Internet. Reading these reports gives the impression public libraries are cyber adult book-stores. Nothing could be further from the truth, Public libraries take their role in providing services, including Internet access, to children very seriously. Every public library in the state has an Internet use policy which outlines acceptable and unacceptable behavior. -- Read More
The Sacramento Public Library plans its future. Read about it Here. From the The Sacramento Bee.
\"What we\'re doing is having workshop participants envision what they want their library to be in the year 2020,\" said Richard Killian, library director. \"What are the things we need to do as a library, not to just keep up, but to move ahead?\"
Starting today, library officials will hold the workshops around the county.
Read about this possible solution Here. From the Tacoma Washington News Tribune.
To offset budget cuts, Tacoma Public Library branches in East, Central and South Tacoma may lose materials but gain literacy and career-training programs.
Administrators say this \"magnet library\" concept would help avoid closing branches. Four of the system\'s sleepiest libraries - King, Mottet, South Tacoma and Swan Creek - would devote more space and materials to themes such as literacy or computers and drop some of their collections aimed at the general public.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- A construction contractor has been sentenced to two years probation after pleading guilty to federal conspiracy charges in a kickback scheme involving the former town manager of Camden.
A judge also ordered William P. Mahon this week to pay $204,000 in restitution. Mahon faced a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Mahon and former Camden town manager James Plumley III pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
Prosecutors said Plumley used his position at a company called Roofing Resources Inc. to steer roofing repair contracts for state-owned facilities to Mahon's company. Mahon would inflate his project bids, then steer kickbacks to Plumley.
In their plea agreements, the two men agreed to repay $204,000 to the state Division of Facilities Management.
Plumley will be sentenced in February.
