3.95/5 rDev +10.3%
Paid around $1.79 for a single...
The beer pours a brown colored base with minimum head and no lacing. The aroma is a mixture of sweet aromatic malts with some fig and raisin characteristics.
The taste is similar to the aroma, low carbonation, with a sweet aftertaste. Feels pretty smooth in the mouth and at 6.6%abv very drinkable.
Final Thought: Solid Belgian Strong from one of the Midwest's finest breweries. A little sweeter than most of this style.

On tap at O'Shea's on Baxter in Louisville. Poured into snifter.
A - The beer arrived a dark amber, with almost no head to it. I didn't watch the pour so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt. Lacing was decent at best.
S - The smell was a lot better than the looks. In my notes I described it as "luxurious", due to the rich profile of it. The nose was primarily malty with hints of nut. Slight funk when swirled, not much sweetness to the nose.
T - Very well balanced attack, barley opens up to a mild heart and finished with a very nice hop kick. Hops tend to build up towards the back of the tongue. I'm not quite far enough along to really pick anything out with this one but that didn't make it any less tasty.
M - Super smooth, light to medium bodied, carbonation was good. Finish was nice and clean, though increasingly hoppy. Hoppy aftertaste but not overpowering.
D - Eminently drinkable for any occasion, I foresee a session of these soon. It was gone all too soon.
As a bit of trivia, Hell For Certain is named after an area of the same name in Southeastern KY, just a bit south of "Hell Creek" and "Whynot?" You really can't make these things up.

Pours a nice dark amber with an impressive off white head. Aroma is yeasty with some nuttiness and dark fruits. Taste is bready, toasty, slightly sour. Unmemorable and bland. Mouthfeel is on the light side. I drank half the bottle before getting bored with it and dumped the rest out. Moved on to something better.

Much better than their Dark Star Porter(which is decent). This one pours a clear, copper amber, with a better than expected tan head, that leaves some sheet lacing, eventually fading to collar and slick lace. Not a bad appearance. Aroma is plums and dark cherries, banana bread halved with cinamon raisin bread. Pretty good, so far. Mouthfeel has a hoppy bite, and medium carbonation. Very nice for the style. Taste is much better than expected. Plums and cherries, some McIntosh apples, molasses, and some vanilla flavors. Slight floral hop bitterness keeps the sweet fruit flavors from being cloying. Finishes with a fresh and fruity McIntosh apple taste, with a pleasant dryness. Doesn't taste like a strong, Belgian Ale, at all, but is a very nice ale hat deserves its own niche in the heirarchy of American strong ambers.

Pours a real pretty garnet with a smallish off-white head. Nice layer of lace sets up in the tulip glass.
Smells a little plum like with a hint of cafe behind it.
Tastes downright good. Full of big sweet malty character. Nice smoky underlay supporting a slightly overtoasted nut body. Craemy and caramel like in it's consistency. Finishes slightly astringent.
Mouthfeel is quite full with a real creaminess to it.
Very drinkable. It must be some kind of UK curse that I'm drinking this on the eve of the NCAA's.

Some alcohol, yeast and malt in nose. Whitish foam. Very mild brownish body. Some yeast in taste, bown sugar and pepper and cloves and raisin.Not too drinkable, and a fairly mediocre Belg. Above average mouthfeel and appropriate carbonation.FOund at Warehouse Beverages.

Hell For Certain reminded me right off the bat of an English style barleywine with its luxurious, fruity, sweet and caramel-soaked maltiness; and full bodied, pillowy mouthfeel. And, in fact, it even looks like one with its hazy, reddish, deep-copper body and frothy tan head. And not to beat a dead horse, but it kind of smells like one too.... there's not much really-specific Belgian yeast character coming through in the nose (it is fruity and floral though, with notes of peach, tangerine, and tropical fruits). More Belgian" yeast character is present in the flavor, however, with a soft phenolic note and delicate touch of spice that helps dry it out (and overall it's just not as agressive as an English barleywine). The bitterness is balancing and it finishes dry despite the amount of malty sweetness that initially hits the tongue. It's nicely rounded and very drinkable. And somewhere in the aroma, and then again in the flavor, is a thread of orange-like fruitiness (and even some pineapple) that's quite nice and very memorable! There are some low-level leafy hops as well, and they appear almost tea-like once it warms. A unique, satiating, satifying, and thoroughly enjoyable ale that's certainly worth trying!

Poured from the 12oz bottle into my Duvel tulip glass. Body is slightly turbid, deep amber in color with bright orange highlights, and topped by a good inch of light brown head that thins out rather quickly. Aroma is mainly spicy, funky Belgian yeast, with notes of brown sugar and peach. Palate is fairly malty, with caramel and light fruity flavors interplaying with the spicy yeast.
I agree with some other reviewers that this tastes almost more like a barleywine, but the presence of the yeast makes it an unmistakably Belgian-style ale. Body is a touch creamy, but moreover a little foamy and thin. Not a bad beer, and a better effort than I would have expected from a small brewery in Kentucky.

Bright garnet with a thin layer of bubbles. Lacks substantial head and lace, but attractive,nonetheless. Fresh nose of apricot, yeast, coriander and peppercorn. Ripe fruit, namely apricot, in addition to coriander, pepper and a definite presence of earthy hops make up the flavor profile of this ale. As the beer reaches room temperature, the beer turns fruitier and spicier, creating a two-dimensional flavor with pronounced citrus character. Mouthfeel is fairly creamy, smooth, well-carbonated, and honestly better than expected. A very drinkable Belgian-style ale from Bluegrass in what I'd imagine is to be similar to the Dubbel style. Overall, a tasty beer, though a bit lacking in true Belgian character.

Slightly hazy, bronzy-copper-amber in hue, attractive, there wasnt much of a head that formed. Actually, there wasnt any head, just a small collar, almost naked in the middle. I think the foam is off-white in color; there really isnt much to look at. There was no subsequent lacing. This beer is dull in appearance for a Belgium-style beer. The nose isnt very chatty and it doesnt speak with much of a Belgian accent. Sugary-sweet and alcoholic are the main aromas; behind this are some fruity notes (mainly melons) and a kiss of rinds (from the hops I assume?). At the back is some nondescript maltiness. I cant say the bouquet impresses me much, it is not bad but too close to boring. So, I cant call it inviting. The palate is good; it has a malty-backbone that reminds me of McChouffe. HFC is fruiter though; I like the apple flavors, pears, melons, and juicy tropical fruit. Hmm a Belgium Amber Ale maybe? This beer is plenty sweet, almost too sweet for me. Sugary in the middle, by the finish the beer does dry out just enough to make it quaffable, the hop bitterness is moderate but firm enough for balance by the end. There are enough flavors going on for me to care. However, enough doesnt make this a great beer. It is too clean for one thing. Id drink it again. Once at room temperature I liked it much more, as more layers of flavors could be enjoyed. This is obviously the way to drink this beer, slightly cooler than cellar temperature didnt work out as well. Medium in body, a tickle thin and watery, the carbonation is a bit too low as well. If the carbonation was livelier and the body was bigger this beer would be much better. This is only the truly negative thing I can say about this beer. It is drinkable and likable. It is friendly but not aggressive enough my tastes. But this is yet another solid offering from the BBC, thanks SheepNutz for the sample. Worth a try.

Poured from a 750 ml wine bottle size into a Duvel tulip shaped glass. Bottle had no indication of when it was made, but I got it from a local liquor store that has pretty good turnover.
Appearance: Pours with a nice thick, light brown head. Head dissipated quickly and left a small amount of lacing. The beer itself is the color of tarnished copper. Small bubbles kept coming up from the glass. Beer is crystal clear.
Smell: Smells heavily of sweet malt, I wonder what the residual sugar is in this thing?
Taste: Beer is sweet and malty, hint a rich nutty taste. Bottle doesn't indicate what the ABV is, but you can taste alcohol.
Mouthfeel: The taste of malt lingers for a time after your sip is finished. The beer has good body and just the right amount of carbonation.
Drinkability: With the sweetness and the above average ABV, this isn't the kind of beer you would drink all night. The 750 ml botle is good to split with someone. If your alone, try to find the 12 oz.

I really wanted to like this more then I did, being a somewhat local offering. I poured this into a 22oz snifter and found it to be a deep reddish brown. Very light head that didn't last at all. Did have some lacing.
Smell was dominated by alchohol, with hints of a mild fruitiness.
Taste was somewhat malty with more then a hint of alchohol present. Semi-sweet.
Mouthfeel I found lacking. I found the look and smell reminiscent of Chimay Blue, but this seemed under-carbonated and ruined that impression. It just seemed a bit thin.
As it warmed up, I found this much more drinkable and enjoyable. Very pleased to have gotten to try it for free, and would drink it again, but not one I would overpay for.

This beer formed a small sized tan head when poured that contained fine sized bubbles that quickly diminished.The body was cloudy and it was carbonated.The hue was copper and the nose was malty, fruity and some alcohol.The flavor was bitter with alcohol and it left an aftertaste.The mouthfeel tingly on my tongue, smooth and medium bodied.There was no lacing with this beer.

Pours into an Oerbier tulip a mahoghany tone, with two fingers of foam after an aggressive swirl and pour of the dregs. No actual yeast was visible in the bottle though. Moderate to low level of spotty lacing, an irregular skim of foam blankets the liquid.
Aroma is mild, sweet dark fruit, raisin, with a slight metallic edge. Sweetness becomes a little cloying over time.
Taste is of light toasted malt, raisin, and fairly ho-hum. Not really a stand-out, but ok. Burnt molasses and graham cracker. Too much diacetyl presence. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied, possibly due to the addition of yeast. Pretty ambiguous overall. I could finish a bottle, but didn't want another.

Picked up on a shopping trip in Indy, only my second Belgian Dark, so I thought I'd give it a go.
A: Poured a dark reddish brown oak color in the glass with some cloudiness. Poured a rocky head, about a half inch, with lingered on the glass for some time.
S: Strong smell of oats, rye, and cherries underneath both. No hop aroma to be found by my nose.
T: Very mild, roasted oats flavor. Much milder, than I would have expected given, the robustness of its appearance. It seems like all the work on this beer went into it's appearance and smell. Nothing was left for the flavor itself. None of the underlying aromas come through on the palate.
M: Very thin on the mouth and throat. Not a bad feeling, just not memorable. Just too light in body for a beer that appeared to be much more.
D: An easy drinker, certainly, but I expected a lot more when it poured. It just seems lacking in punch in flavor and feel for having such an intimidating moniker.

Gift from trbeer. Thanks Tim
Pours a combination of red,brown with a slight copper tint throughout. Lots of yeast suspended in the nectar with a big light tan head on the pour that fades leaving some splotches of lace.
There are some floaties and yeast visible and a small tan head formed but faded away relatively quickly with no retention.
Aroma of plums and dates immediately rises with some caramel, bread and spicy yeast in the background.
Flavors of dark citrus really begin to emerge as the beer warms. Definitive but light jump of coriander and orange peel.
Mouthfeel is majorly sweet almost overly so. Spcies just cut the sweet malt enough to make enjoyable.
Drinkability is solid. Little bit of on the transition between sweet and spice and just a tad too one-dimensional. Most likely better on draught I imagine.

Picked up this BBC offering in West Lafayette, IN during my week-long trip back to the Indianapolis area. Had some rather high hopes for this brew but am left rather disappointed.
Presented in a stubby brown bottle with a "best before" date of Feb 04 on the label edge, Hell For Certain poured a hazy dark orangy-apricot color, like overripe apricots. Despite a large but rather sluggish amount of carbonation, no head formed and no lace was left. The smell an enticing blend of bready malt, soft ripe dark fruits, coriander and pepper. The taste is where Hell For Certain lost me. While initially exibiting a yeasty malt flavor with some dark fruit notes, it transitioned to a spicy, peppery bite and eventually left a sharp metallic tang on the back of my tongue in the finish. The metallic burn lingered long afterward and was a real detractor. The feel was medium-bodied, with a dry edge.
I felt quite let down by this brew. Hell For Certain didn't get any better as it warmed, only imparting an alcohol astringency to go with the palate-killing metal taste. Hell, for certain, at least taste-wise.

nice dark brown color with this tin wispy head of off white that capped the top only for a slight time offering little in the way of side lacing. aroma of roasted malts, light smoke, and hints of chocolate, nice and warming, but lacked the punch i was looking for. flavor was more of the same, not bad at all, had all the right markers there with light peat, lots of chocolate, deep roasted profile, just too light for me to be honest. thin feel

Listed here as a dark strong Belgian, I probably would tag it as a dubbel. Some candy sweetness in the nose, malty with sweet, fruity esters. Flavor is on the lighter side for the style (whichever way you want to make the call), but it is a very drinkable interpretation. BBC is no Ommegang, but they brewed a pretty tasty beer here.

Smell- Sweet malty character, with some yeast and notes of baked bread
Taste- Slightly blander than I expected, pale malt, bread, light yeasty spice
Mouthfeel- fairly thin and flabby, low on carbonation
D- I expected a little more from this beer -not one I'll seek out for another round.

Fantastic beer to see setting in the glass, an eye pleasing cherry red with a masterful head that is light tan in color, with the lace glutinous sheets that cling mightily to the glass. Over ripe pineapple aromas, hints of fusel alcohol, malt, sweet and a real Sniffer. Start dominated by the malt, the top middling in feel, the finish purposeful in it acidity, the hops meaningful in their spicy bite, dry aftertaste that is somewhat sour, quite reminiscent of a Flanders Red Sour Ale, a real yummy for the tummy and the palate.

Pours a dark amber with a nice thick head that leaves lacing. This is the only good quality of this beer.
Smells malty and slightly nutty. A very small hint of dried fruit sweetness.
Tastes similar with the malts up front and hops afterwards. The flavors do not blend well at all. You have to swish this in your mouth to pick up some of them, very bland but bad tasting. It's like an IPA gone wrong with some Belgian yeast thrown in it. The worst attempt at this style I have had. As the beer warmed I caught a few hints of dried fruit but as soon as you pick them up they are gone. I didn't want to finish this beer which is extremely rare as I'll drink just about anything.
Mouthfeel was fairly thick but the flavor was flat. Enough carbonation. This was another high point of the beer. If I didn't have tastebuds I wouldn't mind drinking it.
Pass on this beer. Actually pass on just about everything the BBC has to offer. They have a few gems in there, but they are far and inbetween.

Poured this 12 oz. into a Duvel tulip. Created very little head. Reddish-brown leather color and clear.
Sweet smelling, floral with alcohol presence. Pleasant.
Taste reflected the smell. Sweet raisiny, mild alcohol presence. Not very complex yet enjoyable.
Mouthfilling yet mildly carbonated. Smooth.I would like to try this one on-tap.

Dayne Crist vs TCU defense. The same video that was in this article, and was sort of discussed in this thread. Definitely watch the vid if you haven't already. Upon further review watching the vid, I don't think Crist looked all that bad. Maybe three overthrown balls, that terrible interception, and the goal-line fumble overshadow a generally solid performance. I'm less panicky after watching this. I think most people read the "Coach" article and immediately dismissed it after the accuracy comment. One week removed, has your opinion changed? Are we less worried about Dayne Crist? Or still in full-on panic mode?

In general, though, using public cloud computing for purposes other than storage eliminates the need to deploy and maintain applications internally. WhitePages has been using public cloud services for about two years and now uses 11 cloud-based applications from Salesforce.com, SuccessFactors, ADP, WebEx, Yammer and other providers. This has led to savings that greatly outweigh any of the unexpected costs, Alvarez says.
Integrating apps from multiple vendors
Pacific Coast Building Products wants to start using cloud computing in a big way and has evaluated services from several vendors. But the Rancho Cordova, Calif.-based provider of goods and services to the construction industry has limited its cloud usage so far because the economics are not quite there yet, says CIO Mike O'Dell.
Two reasons for this are the difficulty of integrating software from disparate vendors in the cloud, and the fact that Pacific Coast would incur added costs if it tried to handle the integration on its own.
For example, the company uses Microsoft Exchange for email and Cisco's Unity Unified Messaging for voice mail, and it's interested in using both of those applications as cloud services. "Integration between [Exchange and Unity] in the cloud, at least the last time we looked, wasn't there," O'Dell says.
Without integration, users wouldn't have some of the capabilities they have now, such as automatic deletion of voice-mail messages on their phones when they receive the messages via email.
The same sorts of integration challenges exist with larger and more complex applications, such as ERP, O'Dell says.
For example, "for us to put [SAP] in the cloud means we'd have to give up features or spend a lot of money on integration," he says. "Maybe it's just a matter of immature technology, but the integration side is where the hidden costs are. If you don't look at this right out of the gate, you might not be as happy with the economics at the end as you thought you would be."
Testing software
The need to test software before migrating to the cloud can also result in unforeseen costs.
"We bumped into some expense that we did not expect for testing and debugging a vendor app that had not been run in a cloud configuration before," says Bill Thirsk, vice president of IT and CIO at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
The college was moving a large-scale ERP system onto a private cloud, using servers that the vendor hadn't yet approved. Marist uses its private cloud to provide online services such as registration, billing inquiries and payments to students, faculty and research organizations.
Thirsk says "99 percent" of the college's ERP migration activities "went very smoothly, and overall we saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by using a cloud configuration." But, he adds, "stabilizing the system within a cloud that already supported 900 virtualized servers gave us quite a challenge."
The added expense was to "untangle the maze of what versions [of] the operating systems and databases would work," Thirsk says. "It was [a] matter of changing some code. It took some time and effort to figure out exactly what lines needed to be changed."
Hidden costs can also crop up if applications aren't primed to take full advantage of the capabilities of cloud computing.
"We made the assumption that the ERP programming was sophisticated enough to take advantage of all the processors, memory, caches, storage devices and network connections that the cloud configuration offered," Thirsk says. But it wasn't, and revising the software code required a "considerable amount" of application developer and systems programmer time. "We have seen a 30 percent increase in performance, but it wasn't free," he says.

Apple iPhone 5s
Ralf Jurrien : September 24th 2013 - 11:28 CET
New Apple iPhone 5s :
Apple announced iPhone 5s, the most forward-thinking iPhone yet, featuring an all-new A7 chip, making iPhone 5s the world's first smartphone with 64-bit desktop-class architecture for blazing fast performance in the palm of your hand. iPhone 5s redefines the best smartphone experience in the world with amazing new features all packed into a remarkable thin and light design, including an all-new 8 megapixel iSight camera with True Tone flash and introducing Touch ID, an new way to simply and securely unlock your phone with just the touch of a finger. iPhone 5s comes with iOS 7, the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone, engineered for 64-bit technology and featuring hundreds of great new features.
Apple iPhone 5s with A7 chip
The all-new A7 chip in Apple iPhone 5s brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to a smartphone for the first time. With up to twice the CPU and graphics performance, almost everything you do on iPhone 5s is faster and better than ever, from launching apps and editing photos to playing graphic-intensive games-all while delivering great battery life. Apple also engineered iOS 7 and all the built-in apps to maximize the performance of the A7 chip. Apple iPhone 5s is the best mobile gaming device with access to hundreds of thousands of games from the App Store, the A7 chip's 64-bit architecture and support for OpenGL ES version 3.0. iPhone 5s delivers incredibly rich and complex visual effects, previously only possible on Macs, PCs and gaming consoles.
Battery life of the iPhone 5s
Every Apple iPhone 5s includes the new M7 motion coprocessor that gathers data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass to offload work from the A7 for improved power efficiency. Developers can also access new CoreMotion APIs that take advantage of M7, so they can create even better fitness and activity apps that go well beyond what other mobile devices offer. The M7 motion coprocessor continuously measures your motion data, even when the device is asleep, and saves battery life for pedometer or other fitness apps that use the accelerometer all day.
Apple iPhone 5s with Fingerprint
Apple iPhone 5s introduces Touch ID, an innovative way to simply and securely unlock your iPhone with just the touch of a finger. Built into the home button, Touch ID uses a laser cut sapphire crystal, together with the capacitive touch sensor, to take a high-resolution image of your fingerprint and intelligently analyze it to provide accurate readings from any angle. Setting up Touch ID to recognize your fingerprint is easy, and every time you use it, it gets better. The Touch ID sensor recognizes the touch of a finger so the sensor is only activated when needed, preserving battery life. All fingerprint information is encrypted and stored securely in the Secure Enclave inside the A7 chip on the iPhone 5s; it's never stored on Apple servers or backed up to iCloud. Touch ID can also be used as a secure way to approve purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store or iBooks Store.
Camera of the new iPhone 5s
Apple iPhone 5s makes it even easier to take great photos with the world's most popular camera. The all-new 8 megapixel iSight camera features a larger f/2.2 aperture and a new, larger sensor with 1.5μ pixels for better sensitivity and low-light performance, resulting in better pictures. These improvements, along with the Apple-designed image signal processor in the A7 chip and the new Camera app in iOS 7, provide up to two-times faster auto-focus, faster photo capture, automatic image and video stabilization, and better dynamic range. Apple iPhone 5s introduces the new True Tone flash-the world's first for any camera-that variably adjusts color and intensity for over 1,000 combinations, so photos taken with a flash appear more natural. iPhone 5s also includes a new Burst Mode, Slo-Mo video with 120 fps, a new FaceTime HD camera for better low-light performance and audio-only FaceTime calls with iOS 7.
iOS 7 on the iPhone 5s
iPhone 5s comes with iOS 7, the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone, engineered to support the A7 chip's 64-bit architecture, the new iSight camera and Touch ID fingerprint sensor. iOS 7 features a stunning new user interface, completely redesigned with an elegant color palette, distinct, functional layers and subtle motion that make it feel more alive. iOS 7 has hundreds of great new features, including Control Center, Notification Center, improved Multitasking, AirDrop, enhanced Photos, Safari, Siri and introduces iTunes Radio, a free Internet radio service based on the music you listen to on iTunes.
Apple iPhone 5s price
Apple iPhone 5s comes in gold, silver or space gray, and will be available in the US for a suggested retail price of $199 (US) for the 16GB model and $299 (US) for the 32GB model and $399 (US) for the 64GB model. Apple iPhone 5s will be available from the Apple Online Store, Apple's retail stores, and through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

Despite the technology's complexity, online retailers also are less likely to use an outside consulting firm to help out on a major e-commerce replacement or expansion project. Of the merchants taking part in the research, only 28% plan to hire a consultant or another third party to help with a major e-commerce technology project over the next six months, while an additional 29% say they never use any outside consulting help.

1817 Tasting Notes
WOW! What a nice surprise! This was the tea test for tea party today, and it was sooo good. Much better than I expected since my dearest most favorite teas are usually Fujian Chinese black teas or Ceylons. This is sold in the "tea blends" section of the Harney website rather than the "flavored tea" section, so I was very surprised when I opened the sample pack and sniffed. This wasn't just tea…Ah! The honey! And when you brew this, would you believe the honey made it pretty darn close to a Golden Monkey? It is Tower of London-ish without the fruitiness. This was wonderful tea and I would gladly buy a whole tin! Smooth, no bitterness, not astringent.
Thank goodness for Catherine! Another day at the Board of Elections for a mandatory recount, complete with glaring and snarling in the peanut gallery. Sigh. If I hadn't had you this morning I don't know how I would have done it.
It is a gray and rainy day here in Eastern North Carolina, though not cold. Still – some comfort food was in order. We baked a loaf of fresh whole wheat bread (made from freshly ground wheat!) and set out jams, butter, and apple butter from the NC mountains. Ah yes! My Golden dear did not let me down! Two cups made the afternoon pass smoothly with the rich honeyed taste, light and delicate flavor, and caramel-y mouth feel. Ahhhhh…..
I have tried to like this tea, honestly I have. It is just too weak in the tea department and too tart in the strawberry department for me. That said, I DO know this is a decaf intended for children, and I served it today to two little girls aged 4 and 6 who LOVED it. Their mom tried it and she liked it. I am delighted to have a tea for children that is well-liked and that the mommies don't mind them drinking since it won't make them hyperactive or keep them up! But give me Marco Polo for my tea and strawberry fix!
This is indeed Extra Fancy! The leaves are large and have a nice pure tea aroma. This is my "go to" tea when I need a big pot of tea for lots of people of differing tastes to drink with a meal. It has good body, good tea flavor, and you can spice it up as you wish with milk, sugar, cinnamon, some vanilla – anything. Smooth, no bitterness at all. This went with chicken veggie soup at lunch today as we looked out on the yellow and orange leaves and the cloudy gray sky, which made for a very soothing, comforting lunch indeed! This is my hubby's favorite tea when he drinks caffeinated.
A big THANK YOU! to MeghannM for these teas!
I had a WHOLE POT of this one during the virtual tea tasting with Sandy via Skype! THis is my last sanple of Dammann Freres tea. The dry leaves are lovely with the petals mixed in, and the aroma is very nice as well. Brewed, the aroma is as special as you would expect from a good French tea. The flavors in the tea are not as pronounced as you might think they would be, but they are not hidden. They are very well balanced with the tea flavor. I noticed the blood orange flavor most, the cherry and strawberry next, and really didn't pick up on the peach much.
These are not my favorite flavors for teas, but for anyone who loves berry flavored teas this would be an amazing cup. It was very good (I did say I drank the whole 22 ounce pot!) but I must say The de Cigales and Coquelicot Gourmand (I think that was the name of it!) were absolutely divine and I MUST HAVE THEM!
I don't know if it will happen, but my fingers are crossed. We are supposed to go to France in June. If so, I am going to bring back lots of DF and MF teas!! And Kusmi! And only the French know what else!!! :) :) :) I really, really, really hope we go!!!!
Thank you to Sandy for this tea! This is a lime flavored green. It is very good, and the flavors are well balanced between the green tea and the lime so the lime doesn't overpower the green tea flavor. Someone on steepster had recommended this company to us before Sandy left for New Zealand, and the teas from them have been consistently good!
Hmmm, the mysterious tea database worm must have eaten this one, because I am sure I have reviewed it before! Anyway, this is a staple in this house for hubby. He loves a big mug of tea after work, but doesn't want too much caffeine since he has to get up so early. This is the most expensive tea on the daily tea counter at SS, and I think it is because it tastes SO GOOD. Ceylons just seem to take the process of decaffeination better than other teas.
I think this one may have even more flavor and strength than Harney and Sons Decaffeinated. It is as smooth as you expect a Ceylon tea to be. We drink it with sugar, or with milk and sugar. We also enjoy adding freshly ground cinnamon and sometimes…hanging head in SHAME and embarrassment….we add lots of Tang instead of sugar with that same cinnamon and make a Christmas tea of it. Oh, guilty pleasures are hard to admit – don't judge me! :) (You want to try it, you know you do!)
Delicious, as always! The best English Breakfast I have ever had. I had the two ounce tin from the tea chest and bought the 8 ounce tin to refill it. I have almost cleaned that out already, so I think it is time to admit I just need to buy the pound bag of this one, too. :)

Inside Line: Get the scoop on Specialized's radical new Demo 8
I think it's safe to say that Specialized has created an instant icon. Simply put, the new Demo 8 is unlike any downhill bike we've ever seen. While it retains the classic FSR suspension layout, the pivot points were all moved as far down as possible, with the main pivot finding itself concentric with the bottom bracket. With the pivots out of the way, the seat tube was really only there to support the seat, and since that doesn't have the structural requirements of linkage, it could be pared away to its minimum. The resulting asymmetric frame design is something that could only be possible with modern carbon fiber technology.Tweet Print
Inside Line: Rocky Mountain expands Thunderbolt line with carbon frames
Take a peek at the new Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt MSL. We have an aluminum version of the 120mm chassis in for testing now, but before we could finish our review the team from British Columbia have upped the ante with a carbon fiber frame.Tweet Print
Inside Line: New Raleigh mountain bikes
Raleigh isn't a name you normally associate with mountain bikes. Though we have ridden and reviewed a few models, the brand is introducing a series of new full-suspension bikes for 2015, from entry-level to high-end. It is also expanding the Tamland line of gravel/adventure bikes with an aluminum sister model, the Willard.Tweet Print
Inside Line: Santa Cruz joins the ranks of 27.5 DH with new V-10
Yesterday we brought you news of a new Specialized downhill bike with bigger wheels, and today it's Santa Cruz's turn. Seems the gap in the World Cup schedule was the perfect time to finish off the new products and we'll be seeing a lot of new stuff at Monte St. Anne this weekend.
The new V-10 is virtually indistinguishable from its predecessor, with the tried-and-true VPP linkage and full carbon construction. It took a keen eye for spectators to spot the differences at Innerleithen where Josh Bryceland rode one to the UK Nation Championship last weekend.
Details are scarce but we'll likely know more after the racing is over. Stay tuned…

Coming soon: Radically redesigned 27.5 Specialized downhill bike
Despite the continued success of athletes Troy Bronson and Aaron Gwin on the UCI World Cup circuit, Specialized's top-tier Demo downhill bike has been around for quite some time. Advancements in carbon fiber and shock technology—not to mention those bigger wheels—meant it was time for a new bike. Specialized took advantage of the long layover between races on the UCI calendar to get the bike to its top athletes in time for its debut at Monte St. Anne this weekend.Tweet Print
Inside Line: 2015 Specialized Era 29
Specialized will update its women's specific line to include a redesigned Era 29 to go along with the Fate hardtail. The Era is essentially an Epic with women's specific geometry. Previously, the Era was only available as a 26-inch bike. At the top S-Works level, it, as well as an updated men's Epic will feature a custom inverted 2015 RockShox RS-1 fork with Brain inertia internals.Tweet Print
Inside Line: First look at 2015 Scott lineup
Photos by Mike Schirf.
Last week Scott kicked off its 2015 product season at the lavish Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley near Park City, Utah. It was a great venue for some first impressions on the newly tweaked trail bikes and a look at their broad lineup of offerings. From the bike under you to the helmet on your head, and everything in between, Scott has something worth checking out.
I spent quite a bit of my time riding the Deer Valley trails on either the 27.5 Genius 700 Tuned or any of the 27.5 Genius 700LT models that I could get my hands on. The LT was a very hot bike during our stay and there weren't enough for the rabid press to go around.Tweet Print
First Impression: Riding Salsa's full-suspension fat bike, the Bucksaw
We had seen it coming. There were spy shots and rumors tossed around about a full-suspension fat bike. In fact, the Bucksaw isn't even the first one—several smaller brands have built bikes that qualified as "full-suspension", but this one is different. This is a major brand making a big commitment to a new product segment, and bringing an advanced suspension design with it. Mike Riemer, Salsa's Marketing Manager, said that Dave Weagle, the creator of the Bucksaw's Split Pivot suspension, told him it was the most complex project he had ever worked on.
One thing is for sure, this is not a "stealthy" bike. From the big tires to the candy-colored paint, the Bucksaw is breaking a new trail in mountain biking. But how does it ride?Tweet Print
Inside Line Exclusive: First ride on Salsa's new carbon Horsethief
Salsa got its foot in the door last year with the introduction of the carbon fiber Beargrease, and now it's applying that experience to the Horsethief and Spearfish models. We got a sneak peek and a first ride on the 120mm-travel Horsethief at the Scott Enduro Cup in Park City, Utah.
Built to tackle big rides in big mountains, the aluminum Horsethief adopted the excellent Split Pivot suspension last year and the carbon model matches the geometry of the that model, with a 130mm fork, 17.2-inch chainstays and a 68.1 degree head tube angle.Tweet Print
Inside Line: Yeti unveils SB5c with radical new suspension design
Across the board, the staff at Dirt Rag was more than a little surprised by this new suspension design. We knew there was a new 27.5 bike in the works, but we had no clue it would be so new and unique.
Yeti calls this new design Switch Infinity, or a "translating pivot". As the suspension moves through its travel, the main pivot, mounted to a carrier that slides on two Kashima coated shafts, initially moves up, but at the inflection point, it moves back towards the bottom bracket.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons have lost offensive tackle Will Svitek to a season-ending right arm injury.
Coach Mike Smith said Monday Svitek suffered an upper right arm injury in Sunday's practice. Smith provided no other details about the injury.
Svitek played behind starting left tackle Sam Baker and starting right tackle Tyson Clabo in the Falcons' two preseason games. The 30-year-old Svitek started 10 games at left tackle in 2011. He was entering his fourth season with the Falcons after three seasons with Kansas City.
Smith says Svitek is "one of the toughest players I know" and will be missed.
Other backup tackles include rookie Lamar Holmes, a third-round pick from Southern Mississippi, and Mike Johnson, a third-round pick from Alabama in 2010.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Janus family photo
Adam Janus, 27, of Arlington Heights, was one of seven victims who died after ingesting cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules in 1982. Janus' grief-stricken brother and sister-in-law, Stanley, 25, and Theresa, 19, also died after taking Tylenol at Adam Janus' house after driving in from Lisle to make funeral arrangements for him. The murders represented one of the nation's biggest unsolved criminal cases in decades. Tylenol packages had been tampered with in Chicago-area stores, spreading fear across the country and leading to a multimillion-dollar recall.

Women's lacrosse loses final non-conference game of season
The final non-conference matchup of the season for the women's lacrosse team started off well for Quinnipiac but from then on, it was all Fairfield as the Bobcats lost, 11-5, Sunday afternoon at the Quinnipiac Lacrosse and Field Turf.
After coming back from a 5-1 deficit midway through the first half, the Stags scored with 45 seconds left to increase the lead to 6-4 at halftime. Quinnipiac (7-6) answered scoring just two minutes into the second half as freshman standout Kyra Ochwat scored her 28th goal of the season.
"We knew she was going to be a good player coming in and she's really working hard and stepping up her game and adjusting to what the other teams are doing and she's doing what we need her to do," Quinnipiac assistant coach Brittany Hauser said. "She is doing great for us."
Four different Bobcats scored on the day, as Lianne Toomey netted two goals, while Marissa Caroleo, Kearney Sneath and Ochwat each tallied one goal.
"I think today was a good day for some of our younger players to see the field and get some experience and I think going in to our last two conference games at least they have some experience and if we need to call on them they will be able to play," Hauser said.
Quinnipiac will get two of their top offensive players back, in points leader Sarah Allen and Michaela Tinsley, when league play resumes Wednesday afternoon as the Bobcats host Central Connecticut.
Fairfield (10-3) was led by top face-off player and offensive leader Melanie Raso who recorded a hat trick. Meanwhile, Courtney Chmil, Jamie Leone and Amanda Best netted two goals.
Toomey got the scoring started for the Bobcats, as her goal just 3:08 into play gave Quinnipiac a 1-0 lead. Fairfield then scored five consecutive goals to take a 5-1 lead. The Bobcats responded with three-straight scores to cut the deficit to, 5-4, with two minutes remaining in the half.
Following Ochwat's goal to open the second half, Quinnipiac could not get another shot past Fairfield goaltender, Katie Keenan for the remainder of the game. The Stags netted five goals in the second half to put the game out of reach.
Freshman goaltender Samantha Tilts stopped six of 17 shots for Quinnipiac while her counterpart Keenan saved six shots.

Colorado Bill Would Declare Fundamental "Right" to Abortion, Prevent Any Pro-Life Legislation | LifeNews.com
With pro-abortion Democrats controlling the Colorado state legislature and the governor's office, abortion activists are pushing what pro-life groups are calling the most radically pro-abortion legislation in the state's history.
Colorado Family Action has alerted its members about SB 175, that it says pro-life advocates need to steadfastly oppose.
"This is a radical bill that would create a "fundamental right" to abortion among other things defined as "reproductive healthcare" in this bill," the group says. "No Colorado State governmental body at any level would be able to enact a policy that "denies or interferes with an individual's reproductive health care decision."
"SB 175 is an extreme piece of legislation that would have a destructive impact on Colorado's ability to limit or regulate abortion and other items defined as "reproductive healthcare" in this bill," CFA goes on to say.
I've said all along that these sorts of issues should be left to the states, as long as such does not violate incorporated Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
If Colorado wants to turn itself into a statewide abortion mill, and you don't like that, you have at least two options: Don't go there or, if you are there, leave.

From Mabinogi World Wiki
Basic Information
|Rafting is a minigame near the La Terra Highlands in the northwestern part of Courcle. Talk to the Native at the dock in La Terra Highlands in order to "rent" a raft for free.
- Click on one of the rudders at the back of the raft. Your character will start steering and will be unable to use any other skills.
- If you click on the rudder while your character is 10 years old, you'll get "who Paddled at 10" Title.
- Two players may steer at once.
- Simply click and hold the arrow of the direction you want to turn the raft to steer it.
- Click the icon at any time to cancel steering. Pressing the Esc key can also cancel steering.
- You will automatically stop steering when attacked by a monster.
- Steering the raft will consume 1 stamina per second. You need at least 1 point of stamina to begin steering.
- Steering will continue even after your stamina reaches 0.
- If you want to enter the waterfall, you must take a right at the first turn. If you don't steer, you will not enter the Erkey Falls.
- If you dock at the rest point past the fork, you will not be able to enter the waterfall. Sitting in the raft until it disappears will allow you to return to the starting point.
- If you have high-ranked intermediate magic/ranged and melee combat, going on the raft solo will most likely earn you more stars.
- Having a decent Critical Hit Rank can help a lot on the offense.
- A well-aimed Fireball, Thunder or Ice Spear goes a long way. The Hobgoblins tend to be bunched up on the river banks, making these skills ideal.
- When charging the skills, doing it in advance is highly recommended to ensure you do not get hit by magic bolts and/or arrows during the skill's charging time.
- Helpful if you bring a Bard with a high Vivace rank.
- Fireball and Thunder have a range of 2000, but Ice Spear only has 1400. Ice Spear users may have difficulty getting into range and avoiding getting hit.
- Fireball requires charging 5 charges. Charging Fireball ahead of time is a must for Fireball users.
- Due to Thunder's standby time after the initial hit, it is possible to hit airborne Hobgoblin Warriors as they land onto the raft.
- High rank Crash Shot is also applicable, but often not as effective as intermediate magic due to misses.
- For rangers, the character should have the reserved attack turned off and start aiming as soon as they can see the next group of monsters. Even out of range, the aim meter will still go up as the raft gets closer into range.
- It is also recommended for rangers to not shoot immediately the cursor says you are within range, but wait one second after getting in range. On the client side, the game may think you are in range while it is likely the server does not see this. This is why some people may see their aim meter at 100% and still miss.
- Magic Shield skills could be useful as a defensive strategy. Using the Jungle Scout, Lava Walker and Warp Imps for this task may help a lot.
- Having someone use the Fire-Lightning fusion while someone else performs the respective Magic Shield will help.
- Another good strategy is to have a "tanker" with high Defense/Protection/HP and a Shield stand out in the front to get the aggro before weaker party members and take the damage while they attack.
- If things get rough, you may also use the Playing Dead action.
- Work on killing the ones that throw up the Magic Shields; they are the weakest.
|One star.
|Five normal Stars are one Big Star.
- Earning 20 stars (4 big stars) by the end of the ride will earn you "the Chief Mate" title.
- You may turn in the stars at the NPC at the end of the ride or at any of the rest points. You will receive an equivalent number of Stars, a 1×1 item that stacks up to 100. You may use these stars in the shops managed by the Natives at the dock or rest points.
- If you do not turn in your stars (over your head), you may keep them as long as you do not wander out of the Courcle area, log off or change channels, or enter another raft. Once you turn them in for the Star items, you may keep them for up to 3 days. All stars can be kept for the time limit if the trade window is opened and then closed without buying anything.
- Exploration EXP is not received directly from the Native. The only item that will reward Exploration EXP is the Elephant Statue. They can be exchanged through Voight for 2,920 Exploration EXP each.
- The statues can be traded throughout an account via pets and bank.
- Hobgoblins give 50 Exploration EXP per kill. (Monsters must be Normal or above in CP to obtain the EXP)
