A - This one pours a muddy orange color that turns to amber around the edges. The light tan head comes to a quarter inch and fades rather quickly to a thin cap that almost coats the top. Lacing is just above average.
S - Starts out very sweet and malty. Caramel and toffee take the lead. Raisin come in pretty quickly too. Lots of bread dominates on the tail end. Toasted dark bread is what I'm getting. Just a hint of butterscotch that finishes it up.
T - Taste follows aroma for the most part. Malt absolutely dominates this one. Cooked caramel and toffee on the front end. Some dark fruit comes through midway - cherry and raisin. Light bitterness is present but it stays well out of the way. Bread comes through toward the end and is best described as buttered toast. Alcohol is downplayed pretty well but it's still pretty warm overall.
M - Fuller bodied with an average carbonation level. Finish is sweet on top of sweet. It hangs out on the palate for a while but not too long.
D - Drinkability is good for the Chicken Killer. I had no idea what to expect from this one and have to say, it's pretty solid. It could use something. What that something is, I can't really tell. Hops? I don't think so. The big malty profile seems to work. 9% instead off 10%? Not really. The alcohol never gets too warm to take anything away from the brew. Anyway you look at it. It's good. Glad I got to try it out but I'm not sure I'd seek it out again given the obvious New Mexico - Ohio distro. hurdle.

Reddish amber with a tall off-white head that rises and falls quickly leaving lacind.
Malty without many hops,rotten veggies.
Sweet, full bodied with brown sugar and too sweet, sugary. Not a lot going here.
Overall, this is a barleywine that's not worth buying.Unless...

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue V:
Bright and clear reddish-amber color, looks like a sunset off of the East Coast during late summer. The head leaves a nice drop of lacing down the glass, sticky lace at that. Sweet malty aroma with a solid tone of caramel wraps itself around the faint alcoholic ester and hop nose. Stodgy, thick body, creamy and a little slick in the mouthfeel as the malt flexes. Bam! This is such a malt bomb! Caramel, Portuguese sweet bread and honey covered biscuits come to mind. Not overly sweet with the hop flavor, some hop bitterness and a bit peppery alcohol help to balance. The end is sweet and bready but with some lingering hop flavor and alcoholic bite.
Awesome, an American Barleywine that is not hopped to the hilt. Refreshing to see a balanced Barleywine that does not have to rely on extremes. Hooray for balance! A pleasure to sip.

Nice barley wine.
Bomber poured into a tulip. Cherry amber color with a medium-sized off white head. Pretty color.
Sweet caramel aroma, dark fruit, hops. A whiff of alcohol.
Taste followed form. Caramel malts, raisins, late citrus hops. Didn't notice the alcohol that I thought I smelled.
Nicely hopped, nicely balanced.
Enjoyed this a lot.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy tea color with a creamy light tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet caramel malts, cola and some dark fruit and melon. It has some spicy medicinal alcohol notes.
The flavor is sweet caramel and cola with a slightly bitter alcohol finish. It's too sweet, almost cloying, and has a bit of an off aftertaste. It is pretty mild tasting for a barley wine. The mouthfeel is full and creamy with velvety carbonation.
Overall, a strange beer. Excellent appearance and mouthfeel, just off on the nose and flavors.

The beer pours a hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma is brown sugar, molasses, dark fruit and alcohol. The flavor is heavy on the brown sugar and dark fruit. I also get some caramel malt and a little bit of piney hops. There is also quite a bit of alcohol warming in the beer. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A nice barleywine.

Poured into snifter from bomber. No date on bottle. Has foamy head that dies down reasonably quick to a lacy layer across top of brew. Nice burnt golden brown, quite hazy.
Smell is of dark malts and some slight caramel. Very nice smell.
Nice taste; I must admit, I've had better barley wines, but this one has a good solid mouthfeel and is a little more drinkable right away. Good finish, I expected a strong aftertaste but was impressed at the lack of such.

Pours a thick, clear brown with no head. Molasses, wood, caramel malt, and butterscotch in the nose. Oily mouthfeel. Taste did not live up to the nose. Caramel and bread, with some graininess and a rotten tobacco flavor that, well, doesn't belong in beer. There are far better out there.

Bottle shared with a friend, served into two snifters.
A: Beautiful orange/red/brown clear color. Minimal head.
S: Sweet malts and fruity hops smells. Smell is delicious but not what I was expecting from a barleywine. Alcohol is well hidden.
T: Malty flavor with some nice bitterness. Lots of toffee and caramel flavors.
M: Very smooth and easy to drink for 10%. Nice carbonation.
O: really enjoyed this beer, it's definitely very tasty but it was overshadowed by the Leon we had right before it.

Had this courtesy of Ding - much obliged!
Pours a hazy brownish copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head dissipates into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of caramelized malt with sugar-coated pears and hints of citrus aromas. There's also a small amount of booze aroma wafting out.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Caramelized malt flavors up front are soon joined by pear flavors and hints of toffee. The ending is solidly bitter and the alcohol plays a bit more of a role in the flavors than it does in the smell.
Mouthfeel is good. It's just a bit on the thin side but with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished my glass fairly quickly and could have a few more.
Overall this is a solid barleywine that's somewhere in between an American and English. Worth a shot.

(Served in a snifter)
A- This beer pours a dark dense brown body that glows showing of a strong carbonation of tiny bubbles supporting a thick light tan head that slides down the glass with each sip.
S- The strong aroma of plastic has some fusel notes to it. As the beer warms the smell of plastic grows but a hint of hops does poke through in the finish.
T- The slightly sweet malt flavor has some caramel notes and a soft buttery quality. When the beer warms the finish of minty pine hop cones grows in pine flavor and a bit of bitterness finishes the beer.
M- This beer has a medium-full mouthfeel with a soft alcohol heat in the finish.
D- The flavors are a bit soft and one dimensional and the plastic aroma covers up most other smells. I finished the bottle but it was a but drab to get through.

Poured from a 22oz brown bottle. The beer is a hazy amber brown with a thick creamy head that sticks to everything it touches. The khaki head dissipates to almost nothing but a ring that moves with the beer as you drink.
Smell is weakest part of the beer. There is a lot going on here and the nose is conflicted by it. I get floral sweetness, a slight spiciness and big malts. Its all dominated by a metallic alcohol scent thats a little harsh.
Taste is also a little confusing. It starts with a warm sweetness that has a caramelized maltiness and an orange blossom floral flavor. A spicy hop throb moves through that metallic alcohol flavor breaking it up a little. The aftertaste is bittersweet with a nice malt backbone and a warmth from the ABV that isn't bad.
I don't know if its the warming of the beer or the 10% ABV but this one grows on you. I started out thinking it was a little harsh but about halfway through the beer comes together nicely. Add that to a creamy mouthfeel, a nice bite from the carbonation and spicy hops and this is a easy drinker with some character.

Had on tap at the brewery in early February 2014. Served in a snifter at an 8 ounce pour.
A good appearance to start things off. There's a finger thick, frothy head that I'd call very foamy. Beneath is an opaque, dark amber and brown liquid.
The nose is citrusy hops, orange peel, sweet malt and floral hops. I like what I smell.
I get a bit of an offtaste on the tongue at first, something metallic, but then the taste improves dramatically. Citrusy hops come in, followed by sweet creamy malt, then the floral hops show up and complement the citrus. A good mix. As the beer warms a bit I detect notes of vanilla and caramel too.
Aside from the metallic taste that is a bit harsh on the tongue initially, I found this beer to be smooth, sweet and creamy. If not for that offtaste, I'd absolutely love this beer.

22oz bottle from a nondescript liquor store in southwest Denver. I wonder if I ever saw Walter White drinking any of this brewery's products?
This beer pours a mostly clear, dark red brick amber hue, with a fistful of fingers of rising puffy, densely foamy, and somewhat creamy beige head, which leaves some spectral sudsy lace around the glass as things sink away.
It smells of heady bready, biscuity caramel malt, a hint of crystallized toffee, molasses, brown sugar, maple syrup, earthy, leafy hops, and a mild twinge of sweet alcohol. The taste is still pretty sweet, and complexly so, with more biscuity caramel malt, baba cakes, dry molasses, gritty demarara sugar, a bit of fresh black grapes, laid-back earthy, leafy hops, and a slight booze warming.
The bubbles are generally quite understated, just a dull hum throughout, the body a sturdy medium weight, and so-so in its smoothness, a needling prickliness hovering about. It finishes off-dry, not as sweet as one might have been expecting, as the biscuity character takes center stage, the earthy, leafy hops loitering as well.
A decently understated American barleywine, if we're to take their word for it. I think this tastes exactly what an Imperial ESB might want to taste like, so that would default to English all around in my book. Anyways, well-made, and definitely not too heavy, other than in the ABV, which is conspicuous only in its general absence. Wait for it, I know.

An amusing name and label, if a little tough on the birds (beaks can't do crap against a gun-toting dog). This is my first New Mexico beer; thanks to msubulldog25 for making it happen.
Served at cellar temp. Appearance is very much par for the barleywine course. Rusted ruby with slow bubbles and a small head.
What happened to the aroma? My sniffer is just fine today, so it seems the aromas have up and died with the chickens. There are incredibly small traces of cherry licorice, alcohol and malty sweetness...otherwise not much else to report.
Flavor isn't much better. Best characteristic is a creamy sweetness like that of real vanilla ice cream (half of the credit claimed by the light, velvety texture). There's a heartier, bigger flavor trying to come through, that syrupy, sweet, boozy base you'll get in a good barleywine. But nothing knocks me over the head and reveals this as a killer of anything. And that's what I want in an American Barleywine. Finishes with some cherry/vanilla tart/sweet elements. Again, the mouthfeel is nice: smooth, fluffy and creamy, somewhat reminding of steamed milk.
For all the boasting on the label ("revolutionary", "will someday define America's unique BW style"), this hardly stands a chance against 100 other better US Barleywines. Maybe they mean "someday, when we actually brew a killer barleywine..." Best thing about it is that the 10% alcohol hides with rest of the expected flavors. And the flashes of vanilla ice cream are nice. But considering the style, this is surprisingly, disappointingly Blah.

A most drinkable barleywine. Nicely balanced with the caramel malting and the normal barleywine taste,some dates, this one will transition people to barleywines. Brownish colour with good head. Above average mouthfeel, although above average carbonation.

Santa fe got to love a local brew... By local one of the closests in west Texas. Hops are prevalant but in this barleywine it shares the light with the malt well. Pipes dark to medium brown with milk chocolate head. Smell is of noble hops and taste is a decent mix between malt and hops. The aftertaste is clean and subtle ipa like. Overall a good local big beer

Thanks to csmiley for this one. A Barleywine from New Mexico? Who knew?
Chicken Killer pours a reddish copper color. It's a little hazy, and has quite a few yeast particles swimming around. Interesting. A vanilla head caps it off and stands over two and a half fingers tall. It's slow to recede, and leaves a thick, sticky coat of lace lining the glass.
The nose is good. It starts out with a strong caramel/toffee scent. Nevertheless, it doesn't smell overly sweet. Dark fruit is rather prominent. Raisin and plum add nice depth and work well with the malts. There's also a hint of apple. Interesting mix, but it works. I've had this bottle for quite a while, so the lack of hops doesn't surprise me. Hard to tell if there was ever much. Alcohol is masked well for 10%.
The flavor is likewise pretty good. This is pretty impressive stuff. It has a nice, strong caramel malt base. It's sweeter than it smells. Raisin and plum flavors are prominent, and add a really nice, slightly tangy flavor to the mix. There is a bit of golden fruit, as well (mostly just apple). The mix of dark and golden fruits, while novel, works well. I like the flavor quite a bit. There's not much going on in the hop department. Perhaps I sat on this bottle too long. Perhaps they were never here. Their presence is missed. Alcohol is noted, but isn't overly strong.
Chicken Killer has a medium body that feels thicker with a little warming. Carbonation is relatively light, and it is smooth. Drinkability is good. The flavor is surprisingly nice, and it goes down relatively smooth and easy for a big beer.
I'm pretty impressed with what I believe is my first beer from New Mexico. Chicken Killer is quite a flavorful American Barleywine that's mild mannered, and relatively balanced. I would prefer a little more in the hop department, but that's my preference for the style. For those who like their American Barleywines more balanced, check out Chicken Killer. You'll likely enjoy it.

Could've swore I reviewed this before, but old age might be tricking me,,, 22 OZ bomber
Pours an effervescent reddish caramel with 2 fingers+ of brownish sandy colored head. Superior lacing & head retention
S: Bready with hints of brown sugar
T: Bready & fruitty (dates) with a little too much boozeyness up front. Some slight chocolate & herbal hops. Oaky dryness & breadyness dominate the finish, with a little fruittyness (dates, spiced apples & some pears) thrown in for good measure & little more dryness & alcohol burn, plus a wee bit of maple syrup sweetness
MF: Chewy with medium carbonation, pretty rich & sticky
Drinks great for the ABV. Skews to an English style BW IMO, fans of those will love this. A little more finesse with the malt & or alcohol taste than this offers or some more hops to get this to the upper ecehelons of BWs. Still way better than the 1st time I had it, but snow is falling, maybe it's all about the weather??

South Korea's biggest firm Samsung Electronics on Wednesday announced the commissioning of its refrigerator manufacturing plant in India and said it will achieve a 13-percent market share by selling 400,000 refrigerators this year.
Set up with an investment of U.S. $25 million, R. Zutshi, director of sales for Samsung India, said the plant located in Noida, India is Samsung's fifth refrigerator manufacturing facility in the world; the other four facilities are located in Korea, China, Thailand, and Mexico.
"The domestic production of refrigerators in India will enable us to strengthen our product offering for the Indian consumer as well as give us the flexibility to respond faster to the changing needs of consumers," Mr. Zutshi said.
The firm, which already produces televisions, washing machines, microwave, and air-conditioners at the Noida factory, is targeting to up its share in the $3.2-million refrigerator business in India to 13 percent this year from 7.5 percent last year.
Samsung has already sold about 210,000 refrigerators during January-August this year, Mr. Zutshi said, adding that the frost-free refrigerator market was growing by 38 percent while direct cool category was showing 4.1-percent growth annually.
"We are targeting a revenue of Rs 28,000 million this year from selling consumer durables in India. Already Rs 14,800 million sales has happened in January-August, up 56 percent over last year," Mr. Zutshi said. (Asia Pulse, PTI)

Change and the Secret of an Open Mind
Change can be hard to handle. Even change that you want to happen still takes its emotional toll.
It's all very well to say "Be open minded", but it can be much harder to do, especially it you dearly wish things were still the way they were.
But change isn't going to disappear because we don't like it. So we have a choice.
We can either embrace the change and find what positives lie within it or we can fight it, complain about it and finally lose the battle anyway.
Ask yourself, which would make you happier?
Here are some tips to help you grow with change. » Continue reading "Change and the Secret of an Open Mind"

Not many places in La Cala offer this combination of privacy and social atmosphere that is so convenient when one is on holiday with their family.

No reason to dread seeing gleefully gory "Dredd"
What right does "Dredd" have to be so awesomely entertaining?
For one, the film is a remake of a silly 1995 Sylvester Stallone comic book adaptation, and as we all know, remakes are Hollywood's visual representation of a smug, half-hearted shrug. It's directed by Pete Travis, the guy behind the instantly forgettable "Vantage Point," in godforsaken 3-D. Worst of all, "Dredd"'s plot – cops trapped in an apartment complex of guns, gangsters and doom – was effectively used already this year in the underground action hit, "The Raid: Redemption."
Yet somehow, despite all of that going against it, "Dredd" ends up being one of the most vigorously entertaining movies of the year so far and one of the best glorified B-movies to come since my cherished "Piranha 3D." Talk about defying expectations.
"Star Trek"'s Karl Urban plays Judge Dredd, a street cop who keeps order in the futuristic dystopia of Mega City One by being judge, jury and executioner. While training a new recruit with psychic abilities (Olivia Thirlby, Ellen Page's BFF in "Juno"), Dredd runs across a strange murder in a massive slum/apartment complex called Peach Trees.
The murder turns out to be linked to Ma-Ma ("300"'s Lena Headey), a sadistic drug dealer who's dealing a new brand of narcotic called Slo-Mo, which does exactly what you think it does. When Dredd and his recruit get too close to the truth, Ma-Ma locks down the complex and puts a bounty on the two judges, who must now shoot their way to freedom.
And boy do they shoot their way to freedom. "Dredd" could easily be the most violent movie of the year. Limbs explode, flares and bullets are fired (most of the time in glorious, over-saturated Slo-Mo induced slow motion) and people are dropped to their death from more than a hundred stories up. One character even bloodily plummets right onto the camera in eye-popping 3-D.
It's a grimy, gritty and often gaudy apocalyptic atmosphere – the Slo-Mo sequences, with their overly bright colors combined with the dreamy bloom effect, look almost sickly, like a watercolor nightmare. An early mall gunfight ends with blood and bodies getting clumsily cleaned up, a morbidly normal part of everyday life in Dredd's world.
Thankfully, the grim environment never suffocates the giddy B-movie fun "Dredd" hopes to provide. Travis' direction, combined with Alex Garland's screenplay, hits the perfect grindhouse tone of fun, bloody mayhem that never allows it to get too bogged down in seriousness. There are a few moments when the story slows down a bit, but an outrageous action scene is never too far away.
While its gory gunplay may not match the brutal ballet that is "The Raid: Redemption," "Dredd" contains two elements its Indonesian counterpart was utterly devoid of: story and characters. Garland (the writer behind "Sunshine" and "28 Days Later") doesn't reinvent much, but he knows how to keep the story moving in exciting directions. The movie doesn't feel like a video game, with Dredd and his protégé defeating each level of the complex; instead, it's a futuristic "Die Hard"-esque game of cat and mouse (if animals could use machine guns).
Garland's characters are fun to follow as well. Urban plays Dredd with a cold, growly voice (think Bale's Batman voice but far more natural) and a permanent scowl. Dredd is seemingly an emotional brick of a man, but Urban finds a way to give him nuance and make him still likeable. We want him to succeed and survive because we like him, not just because he's the main character.
Thirlby is better than the usual inexperienced partner character as well. As goofy as her character's psychic abilities are (I chuckled when they were first mentioned), they create intriguing dynamics for the character, especially her mental battles with Ma-Ma's most trusted underling, played by Wood Harris from "The Wire."
I know it may be strange to talk so much about story and characters in an unapologetic action B-movie when there are awesome explosions, gunfights and one-liners to drool over. Even the most testosterone-packed action sequences, however, can cause the audience's eyes to glaze over if there's no reason to care about who's shooting at what and why.
"Dredd" provides just enough to get the viewer involved and then satisfyingly delivers the genre pleasures that action fans crave. And they've been craving them for a while. Sure, there have been a lot of attempts, like "Lockout" (too dumb), "Machete" (too message-heavy) and "Hobo with a Shotgun (too ugly). But "Dredd" is the first B-movie in a while in which the B stands for badass.

"As Above, So Below" is a found footage thriller best left buried
Published Aug. 31, 2014
That's it. I've had it. I've had enough. Game over, man, game over. Sure, there was a time when found footage was a fun novelty, back in the original days of "Cloverfield" and the first couple of "Paranormal Activity" films. But now, movies like "As Above, So Below" just show what a waste the gimmick truly is.
Techno-pop duo Sylvan Esso comes back to its home away from home
Published Aug. 29, 2014
The dynamic duo is returning to its home away from home next weekend, with a show on Friday, Sept. 5 at The Pabst Theater (moved from its original location at the Cactus Club after it sold out). And they're coming back with gallons of deservedly good press, an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and the deafening buzz of a band obviously on the rise.
The Rep goes country with its season opener "The Doyle & Debbie Show"
Published Aug. 29, 2014
"The Doyle & Debbie Show," the season opener for the Milwaukee Rep, is making history. "Is this the first time a toilet's been on the Stackner stage? Probably," said JC Clementz, the show's director. The prop potty, however, nicely sets the tone for "The Doyle & Debbie Show," a goofy Christopher Guest-esque parody about a washed-up country duo.
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" manages to be pretty and ugly
Published Aug. 27, 2014
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" - Robert Rodriguez's hyper-stylized and hyper-violent hyper-noir - has many, many sins of its own to contemplate and consider, the most glaring of which perhaps being a severe case of tardiness. Then again, even if it was perfectly on time, "A Dame to Kill For" would still feel just as relentlessly grim, one-note and pointless.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band brings New Orleans flavor to Milwaukee
Published Aug. 26, 2014
For about half of the year, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band calls its New Orleans namesake home, playing bright brassy jazz to the residents of the Big Easy. For the other half of the year, however, the legendary jazz band brings that cajun flavor and music across the country to cities needing a little extra kick.
Young adult weepie "If I Stay" scores enough feels to stay alive
Published Aug. 25, 2014
Yes, the expected dopey melodrama finds its way into "If I Stay," but it mostly plays second fiddle to an above average relationship drama, one with seemingly real characters (well, real for a teen romance) coping with seemingly real issues and problems. I didn't mind having to spend time with these dreamy young people, which is a lot more than I can say about anything Nicholas Sparks has done lately.
Local band Elusive Parallelograms reshapes itself into Tapebenders
Published Aug. 23, 2014
There is good news for guitarist/vocalist Andrew Foys and Milwaukee music fans who landed squarely on "hated it" when it came to his band's previous name, Elusive Parallelograms: the name has run its course. The multi-genre spanning psychedelic rock band recently underwent a "reboot," kicking the old moniker to the curb and reintroducing themselves as Tapebenders - complete with an upcoming new album.
Milwaukee Film Festival's Cinema Hooligante lineup goes to 11
Published Aug. 21, 2014
Late night is looking bright, as the Milwaukee Film Festival announced its 2014 selections for its Cinema Hooligante program, a midnight mix for fans of all things cult, crazed and - considering the after bedtime showings - caffeinated.
"The Giver" clumsily and coldly conforms to the YA adaptation norm
Published Aug. 21, 2014
About 20 years later, Jeff Bridges has finally gotten "The Giver" to the big screen, and for a project with clearly some passion behind it, the final result is bafflingly inert, as though the film itself has been sampling the characters' daily emotional sedation.
Author Stephen Moss brings musical mysteries to Milwaukee

I like the app, but is it possible for it to call your splits every kilometre. Along the lines of Strava. But in all a good app.
Need to try this out
Any plans for a Kindle version?

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Ana B. passed a background check on 7/20/11. The check was ordered by Ana through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Ana, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Ana is an excellent tutor. We asked for her assistance for my son a 6th grader. He transferred to a new school and was having trouble adjusting to the math curriculum. In his first six weeks of getting tutorial help from Miss Ana he improved his grade by 15 points! It was amazing. She was very professional but personable with my son. My son of course was not happy with having to receive tutoring but he warmed up to her soon enough. She made him feel comfortable with not understanding the subject. She patiently worked with him through the semester and we saw the improvement every report card. She is highly recommended. Diane;
Ana has been very helpful explaining physics concepts to my high-schooler. She responds quickly to my e-mail requests. It has reduced the stress level around this house significantly. Highly recommend.;
Ana is a great tutor! She is very knowledgeable and able to organize the concepts behind the formulas in a way that my daughter can understand. She is patient and persistent reinforcing the lessons. We are very pleased.;
On the minus side, Ana is the most expensive tutor we contacted and she was a little unprofessional. She was going to drive to our house for the lesson, but when she found out we were "only" needing one hour, she decided we were too far out and would meet us half way. Then, a few hours before our lesson, she wanted to move the lesson to a later time so that she could go out to dinner with a friend (to her credit, she did not move the time when I let her know that it would be inconvenient for my husband and son). On the plus side, my son liked her teaching style and felt that she was very knowledgeable about calculus and helpful. She covered all the material he was concerned about. He was a lot more confident about his cumulative final after the lesson and felt it was time well spent.;
Hi, Firstly I'd like to say that working with your son was delightful and he was extremely smart as well as very easy to work with. He understood everything I said very quickly and it is always a pleasure to teach someone like him. I wanted to clarify, however, that I drove for one hour each way to meet with your son at the Starbucks near your house, and I typically do not drive that far to meet with someone for such a short period of time as it is not economically savvy. An hour is the shortest length for a tutoring appointment with me. I did not mean any disrespect in suggesting that we meet at the Starbucks, but I do have to be conscious of my time and its value. I hope you understand. The reason that I do charge more than other tutors is because I have a Master's degree in Mathematics and 7 years of experience teaching and tutoring. I understand that the price is high, but I always deliver a very high quality education and this is what I consider its value to be. It is completely understandable if you are uncomfortable with the price or disagree. I did try to alleviate the blow by staying an extra ten minutes free of charge. I very much so enjoyed working with your son and I hope you understand my situation as well. I wish you and your family a happy new year.;
Saved my life in calculus. Teaches the material better than the professor. Also, can show you neat tricks to further your understand. Very patient if your a slow learner. Love her!;
Enjoyed Ana very much and is flexible or works with your schedule! Responds in a timely manner and is eager to help.;
Anna is very patient, flexible with her schedule, and thorough in her explanations of the material. She does a good job of identifying and targeting your problem areas, and working through them until you become comfortable with the material. She is able to take difficult concepts and break them down into easy to understand bits of information, which makes the material seem far less daunting. Anna's help has been worth every penny!;
Anna has always been very helpful explaining problems to me, and making sure that I understand them. Working with her has greatly improved all of my math skills. She is always easy to reach and quick to get back to me as well. I highly recommend working with Anna. ;

The location to the airport and the free shuttle to bart were the only things nice about this hotel.
The roons were extremely small and the front desk staff were rude and not helpful at all. The air-conditioning broke and at around 50 degrees all night. They did nothing about it. After the third call to them they brought us one extra blanket.The don't care about their customers at all! I would never stay there again.

Houston Rockets star James Harden has been diagnosed with strep throat and is still expected to play Friday night in Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harden had what the team called flu-like symptoms on Wednesday, but he scored 31 points with seven 3-pointers to lead the Rockets to a 107-100 win in Game 5. The team says Harden was treated by doctors for the condition Thursday afternoon. The Rockets have cut the lead in the series to 3-2 and are trying to become the first team in NBA history to win a best-of-seven playoff series after trailing 3-0.

An annual project where I draw 31 Nintendo monsters every day throughout October in the lead up to Halloween.
What about captain coin, or any bosses from wario land 4? Or Terrorismu from Wario master of disguise?
biolizard? from sonic adventure 2?
or perfect chaos from the first one?
never mind, nintendo...
wait! sonic adventure and 2 were moved to the game cube! so yea! add them!!
Where's Count Bleck/Blumiere? I'd love to see a bio based on him.
I guess because he never got a good, monstrous final transformation. Also, I've done an awful lot of Super Paper Mario considering how much I dislike the game.
So, you don't have a favourite boss or villain from that game?
The villains were the highlight of what I felt was quite a tedious game. If I do Nintober this year, I may include Count Bleck. But I'm not sure if I'm doing it yet.
In comparison to the previous two, the Official Nintendo Magazine didn't give it such a high score. In fact, it's much lower than what Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door have got. Out of the three Paper Mario games, Paper Mario have the highest score.

I'm thinking of something white, squishy, and versatile...
Where in the World Did this Weird Stuff Come From?
Excellent question!
There you go. Tofu was developed in the process of looking for the potion that will allow the consumer to live forever. That just says loads of good stuff about tofu. I especially like that last sentence, as it connects to vegetarianism/veganism. If you're an omnivore and you're reading this, you're either curious, interested in exotic foods, or health conscious. Kudos to you!
Advantages Over Meat
Yes, smile. Smile as I do, in blissful ignorance of what I'm going to do to your circulatory system.
Let's start with the most commonly known dangers of eating meat: saturated fats and cholesterol. There's one thing you should understand about cholesterol before we move on. Cholesterol is very important. Cholesterol is the building block of cell walls. But, just like fat, there's good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Moving on. There are two MAIN groups of fats, saturated (bad) and unsaturated (good). There's also subcategories of unsaturated fats, consisting of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and all that other stuff, but we won't be getting into that. Saturated fat increases the levels of low density lipoproteins (LDLs), also known as bad cholesterol. This cholesterol is bad because it sticks to the walls of your arteries, causing atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis. Unsaturated fats increase the amount of high density lipoproteins (HDLs), also known as good cholesterol. HDLs actually remove LDLs from the cell walls and bring them to the liver where they are eliminated in the bile. Saturated fat is found almost exclusively in meat and dairy. Plant-based sources are tropical oils such as coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Other than those, plants contain only unsaturated fats. *Note* Recently people have started debating on how "bad" saturated fats actually are for you. Feel free to look this up on your own time. For now, I'm just going with what I was taught in anatomy/physiology class last year.
"Meat and dairy products supply half of the total fat, all of the cholesterol and 75 percent of the saturated fatty acids of the standard American diet [...] Meat contributes about 35 percent of the saturated fat to the typical American diet. In particular, red meat contributes about 49 grams of fat per person per day and accounts for about 30 percent of total fat consumption. Excessive fat is associated with an increased risk of obesity, elevated blood cholesterol and increased risk of heart disease and of cancer." (Ronzio, Robert. The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health. Second Edition. New York: Facts on File, Inc. , 2003. Print. 422.)
Health professionals are more concerned about the overabundance of protein in the standard American diet than lack of protein, which is linked to calcium loss leading to osteoporosis.
Bet you didn't know you were eating these!
Europe, 1990′s. People started getting symptoms similar to that of a devastating neurological disorder known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). The symptoms were relatively minor at first, but they progressed until the victims were completely incapacitated, confined to a wheelchair, mute, and reliant on others to feed them. Within two years they were dead. Autopsies revealed that their brain tissue had disintegrated, taking on the consistency of a sponge. This was eerily similar to the brains of cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). It is suspected that those who contracted vCDJ got it from the meat of BSE-infected cattle.
Although the amounts are low, traces of pesticides are not uncommonly found in beef and pork. Cow milk does not escape this contamination. These pesticides find their way into the flesh of animals when these animals graze on land sprayed with pesticides. From time to time meat is not properly trimmed, and thyroid glands are left in it, causing insomnia, diarrhea, and nervousness. Some drugs that are fed to animals to prevent disease are possibly linked to cancer. A chemical substance called gentian violet causes cancer, but it is still used in animal feed to prevent molding.
Have You Pressed Your Tofu Lately?
I have no problem making tofu taste good, and I'm not exactly a culinary master. If your tofu creations end up tasting bad, then... you suck at cooking, I guess.
One thing you can do to help your tofu absorb more flavor is to press it. If you're rich, you can buy a tofu presser. If you're like me and don't have one, it's as simple as putting it between two plates and putting a heavy book or whatever on top for 15-20 minutes. This squeezes out some of the excess moisture, allowing more flavor to seep in. You might even want to freeze your tofu afterwards. This further removes moisture. Just make sure you press it THEN freeze it to prevent the formation of ice. Now, you're ready to put it in some tupperware with marinade and let it soak up the flavor. Or you can just do whatever.
Note that pressing is only necessary for firm or extra firm tofu. Soft or silken tofu is generally used for liquid and semi-liquid things such as smoothies and pudding. The tofu is mostly present to thicken watery things. Makes pudding more gelatinous, makes smoothies less juicy, etc. Firm and extra firm tofu is the only tofu meant to add flavor.
There's Good News and Bad News: Dangers of Eating Too Much Soy
Actually, there's just bad news.
Soy beans naturally contain many toxins that are detrimental to human health. These can be eliminated, however, through a very long process of fermentation. Soy producers think that this takes too long, so instead their soy products undergo chemical processes to replace fermentation. Does this work? Not really! Many toxins are left in the soy. Some health effects associated with a high soy diet are thyroid problems, breast cancer, and hormonal imbalances (specifically estrogen). But don't fret! You don't have to give up soy completely. Just make sure to eat only whole soy foods like tofu and edamame, and avoid chemically processed ones, such as soy sausages. I love vanilla soy milk as much as the next person, but there are plenty of other milk substitutes. There's almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, oat milk, hazelnut milk, and probably some others that I'm not aware of. Rice is my favorite as far as similarity to dairy milk goes.
*UPDATE* Amy's now has soy-free vegan macaroni and cheese! Hallelujah!

Meat vs. Tofu
Considering that meat is more protein rich than tofu, but tofu doesn't have all those nasty LDLs and saturated fats, which one's benefits outweigh the negatives?
typinganimal says:
For me ethics weigh heavier than health. Tofu is awesome because no animals are harmed in the making of it. It is gentle protein :) The fact that it's healthier than animal corpses is just a nice bonus but not the main issue. Lovely lens by the way!
priscillaB says:
Tofu wins!
AstroGremlin says:
I like tofu and appreciate your including the downsides. I'm a D cup.
waldenthree.net says:
The choice is not always that simple. Moderation for both is better option.
KilleenMcG says:
Americans have a huge tendency to worry like crazy about "getting enough protein." I always laugh when people ask me how I get enough... as if it's the only element of concern in our diets! What about the other hundred vitamins, minerals and nutrients that make up a balanced meal? Great lens in support of the curd! :)

"[G]et government out of the church. If that were the case then the government would only oversee the civil contract between two people." This poses some real practical issues, such that it seems that there may be no way to get from here to there. Cases: 1) Two Catholic wed and agree, civilly, that a Church Tribunal shall have the last word on the validity of their marriage. They also agree in their pre-nup contract that, if either of them runs off, the other party shall have custody of the children and all the family property. One of them subsequently runs off without getting a canonical annulment. A squabble over the kids and property follows. How should a government court rule?

As an employment lawyer based in San Francisco, I work closely with high tech clients with operations around the globe. Last year, one of my clients needed to implement a workforce reduction in a dozen countries simultaneously. And they gave me 48 hours to accomplish this. I don't know how I could have pulled this off without the resources of the ELA. I don't know of any single law firm that could have made this happen. My client received all of the help they needed in a timely fashion and on a cost effective basis.

We had an excellent stay at Lavinia House. Excellent location away from the main town but only five minutes walk into the town. Room comfortable and very clean with lovely views. Could not fault the breakfast - large choice and hot.
