12. In both Systems, upon request and with no purchase necessary, participants can obtain free sweepstakes entries. Free entries are not treated any differently than entries accompanying a purchase.posted by odinsdream at 8:36 AM on October 12, 2011
13. In both Systems, whether through a request for free entries or through a qualifying purchase, a sweepstakes participant is given a player account number associated with the sweepstakes transaction, which will enable the sweepstakes participant to reveal or open sweepstakes entries. In both Systems, entries can be opened only at a computer terminal. (exhibit B, page 3)
22. Because the Systems are computerized sweepstakes drawings, for which no purchase is necessary to participate, no payment of any kind is required to play the video games.The clever part, as I mentioned earlier, is that these games are marketed as if they were gambling, and as if there were a random chance of winning, and as if you have to stake something to have a chance to win. That's part of the business model.
23. The video games that are part of Plaintiffs' promotional sweepstakes are easily differentiated from illegal video gaming devices like video poker. First of all, an illegal video gaming machine is driven by a random number generator with an infinite set of outcomes. Secondly, with an illegal video gaming device, the user must stake something of value to get some outcome from the game. (emphasis mine
Their lives suck, and "games" like this give them that tiny background spark that maybe one day something good will happen, and maybe then life won't suck. They're not stupid, they know what they're doing, they just want to have something to hope for so that they can go to sleep thinking "wow, maybe I'll win tomorrow. Wouldn't that be nice?"Ugh. I think a little gambling doesn't hurt but there ought to be restrictions on how much someone can bet based on their income. Maybe 10% of their disposable income or something.
These should be run by the state, IMO. It's not like it takes anything but a lack of a moral compass to run one of these deals. At least then some of the money could be redirected to programs that help the communities that are wasting their money this way, instead of being used to make assholes rich.In Iowa, the state lottery created these 'electronic lottery ticket' kiosks that you could put in gas stations. They showed up everywhere. They were basically slot machines. People flipped out and they were gone in a few months. So there may be some kind of moral compass in there somewhere.
Except at McDonalds you can get a free game piece just for the asking.Same is true at these sweepstakes caffees.
I'm not sure what you're arguing - that McDonald's doesn't know exactly how many cups are winners, and what exactly the prizes are?I'm not sure what you're trying to argue: McD's doesn't know where the winning cups and french fry containers are. They know the number of winners but they don't know who will actually win. So I'm not really sure what the point is. You're gambling because you don't know whether or not you will win. When you play poker, you're still gambling, even thought you know one person will take the pot. Or if you bet on horses, you know some horse is going to win.
Can someone explain to me why we outlaw gambling? I've never really understood that part.Maybe because it's an actual social problem if the countries poor pour all their money into pockets of unscrupulous casino operators?
I'll agree it's a stupid waste of money, but so? People waste their money in other stupid ways that are perfectly legal (everything from Pokemon cards, to cigarettes, to buying gold in World of Warcraft, to internet porn, to Monster Cables, to romance novels, etc).
In support of that contention I observe that Nevada does not have a significantly higher crime rate or any other indicator of social problems than states where gambling is illegal.Well, in Nevada gambling brings in a lot of money from the rest of the country because of it's gambling operations. But that said, there is a lot of poverty in Nevada. The unemployment rate right now is 13.4%

August 9, 2009 | Desserts, FruitI've been waiting for this day all summer – the first ripe plums off my tree in the front yard!!!
During the early summer in Denver we had a nasty hail storm that knocked off what I thought were all the plums on the tree. They were only little green fruits at the time, about the size of a small olive, and as I cleaned up my yard from the storm I counted over 100 fallen plums.I nearly cried right there in the front yard. But over the next few days I noticed that actually the tree was quite heavy still with plums, so I crossed my fingers and started dreaming of plum recipes.
As the weeks wore on, the plums grew larger and began turning purple, including this cluster of at least a dozen or more dangling from one the delicate top branches.
When the plums start to turn this darker purple-blue color and begin to soften, they are ready. Have any great recipes for plums? Share them with me and I'll publish them for blog readers to enjoy. In the meantime, here's an adaptation of my apple or peach crumble using plums.
Plum Cobbler
Serves 6
cooking spray
12 plums, cut in quarters
2 cups whole oats
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray then add plums. Mix oats, sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon with the butter, working the topping until the butter is well incorporated. Pour over the top of the plums and bake at 350 degrees until plums are softened and bubbling and the topping is lightly browned, about 30-40 minutes.

Chorley lose Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy final to holders AFC Fylde
Updated 9:53pm Monday 17th March 2014 in Sport
CHORLEY tonight lost the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy final 4-1 to holders AFC Fylde at the Reebok Stadium.
Andy Russell, against his former club, opened the scoring in the 28th minute and set up Harry Winter to put Fylde back in front in added time at the end of the first half after James Dean had brought Chorley level in the 42nd minute.
There were no further goals until the 87th minute when Michael Barnes raced away to effectively kill the contest.
And Fylde rubbed salt into the wounds of their Evo-Stik League Premier Division title rivals by notching a fourth in injury-time, again scored by Barnes.
See tomorrow's Lancashire Telegraph for a full match report.

WHISNANT: The needle and the damage done
Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic death demonstrates that the War on Drugs is far from over
"Unless we are willing to accept such a radical shift in our drug policy, cartels are almost certainly here to stay."
Philip Seymour Hoffman's death arrives at a peculiar time in America's national conversation about drugs. Almost a half-century after the beginning of its embrace by the 1960s counterculture, marijuana is on its way to becoming more mainstream than cigarettes. Legalization campaigns are ascendant; New York Times columnists are admitting to smoking pot and the President of the United States has gone on record saying that marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol. If not during this decade, it seems like a safe bet that marijuana will be mostly legal everywhere by the time our children go to college. The War on Drugs, we're told, is finally winding down, and our drug policy is finally becoming less discriminatory and less punitive.
It is during this heralding of a new libertarian moment that we are rudely interrupted by a heroin overdose. Though the death of such a great talent and family man can never be anything less than tragic, it seems appropriate that Hoffman's death comes at a time when society must seriously consider the next phase of the War on Drugs. While marijuana legalization will certainly relieve a great burden from poor communities in America and abroad, anyone who thinks that its legalization marks the end of the War on Drugs rather than the beginning of some far more difficult questions is sadly mistaken.
Whether marijuana is legalized or not, cocaine will remain an $88 billion business in the U.S. alone, boasting larger revenues than massive corporations like Microsoft and PepsiCo. The UN also estimates the U.S. heroin market to be $55 billion, generating more revenue than Google and Coca-Cola. While it is certainly true that marijuana legalization would be damaging to drug cartels in Mexico, marijuana only accounts for 9 to 17 percent of average cartel revenues and is among the least profitable drugs the cartels distribute. In response to growing competition from U.S. producers, Mexican cartels have begun leasing public land for pot production, improving their product and streamlining their delivery systems. Since cartels have already proven to be savvy businesses in how they have responded to decriminalization campaigns, there's no reason to think that even completely removing marijuana from their business model would make them disappear.
Faced with this reality, society is left only with painful choices. Do we continue a War on Drugs that has had devastating social costs or do we legalize drugs that have had devastating social costs? Do we allow the cartels to keep shredding the social fabric of Latin America or do we turn over heroin distribution to multinational corporations with marketing and promotional muscle? Though it's true that the prohibition of heroin and cocaine has not prevented people from using them, studies have shown that the price decreases that would come with legalization would almost certainly lead to more users. To truly cut down illegal sales of hard drugs, some economists and drug policy experts have proposed that the government directly distribute heroin in clinics to put street pushers out of business with low prices. Though this approach may serve its intended purpose, most Americans would justifiably find serious ethical and moral issues with their tax dollars going to fund the production and distribution of hard drugs. Unless we are willing to accept such a radical shift in our drug policy, cartels are almost certainly here to stay.
Though far from infallible, Portugal offers a way forward. In 2001, Portugal changed the use of all drugs from a criminal penalty to an administrative one. Under the new law, drug addiction is treated as an illness rather than something that warrants incarceration. Drug traffickers still face prosecution for distribution, but hard drug users, often socially marginalized anyway, face treatment rather than the prison system. Because prices were not significantly affected with distribution laws still in effect, use remained relatively constant with some slight upticks consistent with trends in Spain and Italy. Portugal didn't come up with a way to end the violence in the global South associated with drug production or a way to rid its society of the devastation of drug addiction, but it forged a sane path forward that has successfully reframed drug abuse as the medical problem that it is.
As the 70 bags of heroin in Philip Seymour Hoffman's apartment prove, the criminalization of hard drugs is doing nothing to prevent those who want them from getting them. While we should definitely acknowledge the failings of our drug policy, we should realize that the legalization of marijuana is no cure all, and any progress we cheer must be tempered with clear-eyed acknowledgement of the limits of pot policy. As with so many buzzes, there is a hangover right around the corner.

A NEW law banning smoking in public places used by children came into force throughout Victoria on Tuesday.
Smoking is now prohibited at playgrounds, skate parks, swimming pools and sporting venues during underage sporting events.
It is particularly relevant to the Wimmera, which has the highest smoking rates in Australia.
Horsham mother Tracey Pitts, visiting the swings at Horsham Botanic Gardens playground with her children on Tuesday, said she supported the ban.
"I think that's fabulous," she said.
"Among our group of friends no-one smokes, but I'd hate it if someone was doing it.
"It's nice to have a nice clean atmosphere and I didn't actually know that was happening so that's good."
Also at the playground with her child was Horsham mother Andrea Cameron who said she had rarely witnessed people smoking around children in public before the new regulation came into force.
"It's a good thing," she said.
"I'm not sure that many people do smoke when there are children around.
"I mean I've got another half who smokes, but you wouldn't even know he smokes because he never does it around kids."
Health Minister David Davis said the new law would ensure there would be more smoke-free and children-friendly environments.
"These new bans will create thousands of new smoke-free areas used by children and young people across Victoria, protecting them from tobacco-related harm," he said.
"People will not be allowed to smoke within 10 metres of outdoor children's playground equipment, skate parks and sporting venues during under-18s sporting events."
He said the bans were about minimising children's contact with second-hand smoke.
"Children are more susceptible to second-hand smoke and seeing people smoke will increase their chances of becoming smokers as adults," Mr Davis said.
"The new law will have a positive community education focus, however where appropriate, an infringement of $144 may be issued to a person smoking in a smoke-free area."
The most recent National Health Performance Authority report on smoking showed the Grampians Medicare Local area, which stretches from Ballarat to the Wimmera, had the highest smoking rates in Australia.
The report found 28 per cent of adults in the zone smoked – an estimated 45,000 people.

Death, storytelling, and the manipulation of progress
For years, we've heard the same tired proclamations about the limitations of storytelling in videogames. This argument stands apart from the talent involved in making games; it's not that the people making games are poor writers, but that the medium itself cannot tell a story as effectively as a film, novel, or play. There may be some truth to these arguments, despite many of them being hugely exaggerated.

A hay fire is burning at a dairy farm in the far west valley, near Southern and Palo Verde Roads.
The fire was reported just after 10 a.m.
Authorities say a haystack underneath the barn caught fire, engulfing the barn in flames. Dark smoke was seen billowing into the sky.
The flames aren't threatening any other buildings, and firefighters are just going to let it burn out. It may be several days until it stops smoldering.
No one was hurt.

2.58/5 rDev -35.5%
The web site lists a OG of 1.101 but only a 8% ABV. That is odd. Pours a black hue with some limited viscosity. Needed help with the pour but some larger tan bubbles came out. Not much on retention and lacing.
The nose has a limited malt profile. To start there is a light roast aroma with some minor chocolate notes. Some minor smoky almost BBQ (weird). Very high ester aromas. Some rose peddles and some vegi. A little bit of dank, or drainage. Some raisin and figs comes out as well. Some noticeable yeasty characteristics, that really are a deterrent.
The taste is not as bad but still have the off yeast flavor. The malt comes out a bit more as well, with a stronger roast flavor. Some chocolate and lactic, almost milky flavors on the backend. There is a noticeable white wine flavor that just doesn't work with the roast. Some yeasty notes, rose peddles and raisins.
The body is closer to full than moderate. Some slick textures that I associate with diacetyl. Carbonation was low. Overall, I can't believe the rating on this one. The esters are overbearing, there is noticeable off yeast notes, and the malt backing is limited.

A: A beautiful looking pour from a 12 oz bottle. The beer is black and viscous with a finger's worth of tan head.
S: The smell is a bit of a let down, especially considering my hopes for this beer. There is a fair amount of alcohol and acidity to the nose which sort of overpower even the coffee and chocolate.
T: There isn't any improvement in the flavor, I'm afraid. A strong bitterness to the beer and an almost medicinal astringency. Behind that, the chocolate and coffee flavors do come out, but I'm having trouble getting past the faults.
M: At least the mouthfeel is nice. This is a full bodied beer with low to moderate carbonation.
D: Just too much unwanted and unpleasant bitterness in this beer to overlook it. Hopefully I just got a bad bottle, but as for now, I don't think I'll have this beer again.

Pours 1/4 finger of khaki tan head. Color is a deep black.
Aroma: A lot of roast. Coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Kind of sweet. A lot of grains. Silky,
Taste: Even more roast here with some coffee flavors. Raisins and molasses. Caramel and chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Roasted and dry. Full bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends with more roasted flavors.
Overall, a decent RIS, but fairly average. Nothing out of the ordinary. A bit too roasted for me.

It's black with some brown edges when the light comes through. It has a little head that doesn't even cover the span of the glass. The smell has a little roastiness with a big alcohol smell. It also has coffe, raisin, and fig in the smell as well. In the taste the alcohol is prevelent with a big coffee flavor like a cappacino. The mouthfeel is good. I would have another, but would want to age it first to get some of the green characteristics out.

Sampled at an Imperial stout tasting, and while this wasn't bad, it definitely didn't stand out. Black pour with a thin beige head. Roasty flavor with a hint of a stale-ish cardboard flavor. Average body, and not too thin, at least. Roasty but mildly so for the style, I thought. Decent beer overall, but not stacked against the best Imperial Stouts

Poured from a bottle labeled "Vintage 2006"
Pours an opaque near-black, with a brown head forming slowly, and sticking around for a while. The head is dense enough to resemble cake, and leaves great lacing.
Smell is of coffee, plums, golden raisins, and a bit of alcohol.
Taste is wild and almost harsh. A very small hint of plums and cherries up front is run over by alcohol, a blast of hops, and then a very strong finish of coffee grounds. Way, way too bold right now, but I'll bet with a year or two on it, this could be truly excellent.
Mouthfeel is slightly drying, and harsh.
Make sure you have something heavy to eat this with, that will stand up to it, this is one wild brew.

From a 650 ml brown bottle, vintage 2006. Abv listed as 8%. Pours out a light impermeable pitch black, with a deep tan spongy/creamy head that retains to a fair sized cap. Sticky, coral reef-like lacing.
A rich, vinuous nose on this Imperial Stout, with rich roasted malt, dates, figs, blackstrap molasses, and some sharp notes of alcohol. A touch briney, similar to soy sauce.
Quite the whammy on the first sip, the palate is overwhelmed and the alcohol content goes straight to my head, as if it's splitting up into two to take me over--one to distract and confuse me, and the other party to go straight to the control center. Fortunately by the third sip the paranoia passes, and the flavour becomes more comprehensible. Massive chewy malt in the beginning, although dry as well, probably from a combination of the roasted malt and the alcohol. Fig newtons with a dash of soy sauce in the middle, along with a combination of raisins, rum and brown sugar. Some leather as well. The finish becomes more rounded yet just as bold, with dark chocolate and Turkish coffee, very dry and quite bitter. That dry coffee grounds character lingers on well into the aftertaste.
Smooth mouthfeel, with a creamy medium bodied texture, not as thin and runny as other Imperial stouts can come across.
I have to admit though, I'm really wrestling down this stout, this king of the sea isn't necessarily all that accomodating and friendly. In fact I keep glancing out of my peripheral vision for Captain Ahab to come along and help me out with it. Definitely a slow sipper of an ale, and best to share the bottle of this size with another willing party. I was happy to see this on the shelves here locally, but I can't really fathom going back for another one, not after the struggle it's taking to polish this one off. A good example of the bigger beers getting too big for their britches and less palatable as a result.

Poured with a surprisingly small thick textuered head. Some decent lace. Very dark/opaque color. Aroma and flavors are of a kind not personally too appealing to me: a bittersweet that has a fruitiness. Nice body. Can feel the punch after a bit. Long finish.

Received from nlmartin as part of BC2. Thanks Nate!
This one poured a very dark brown with deep red highlights and a tight tan cap. Decent head retention with some spotty lacing. The aroma was mostly caramel and grassy hops, with nutty grain and light roast backing it up. Bitterness was very muted to start, but grew to give more balance by the end. Malty caramel with some burnt and semisweet chocolate notes. Alcohol was apparent throughout and grassy hops lingered a bit in the finish. The body didn't seem overly full, but felt heavy due to the low carbonation. A little dryness from the dark malt with some alcohol warmth. A fair/average impy - the alcohol really shocked my palate, plus the balance and body/mouthfeel felt a little off.

12oz bottle provided by Alex to compare with the ba version. This one was greatly outclassed, and that little bottle barely got touched...Dark brown pour, with a small white head, not much to look at...The aroma is so-so with burnt malt, caramel and chocolate...The taste is more burnt notes, just not very good. Coffee, grains, and alcohol.
One of the worst stouts of the night we had, I wouldn't go out of the way for it.

This came in a 750 ml bottle from batch #4 of November 2002. This poured out an opaque thick black with a very tall dark brown head. The picture perfect head falls fairly quickly and leaves no lace in its wake. The smell was sweet with a bit of tartness and alcohol mixed in. Towards the end of the second glass the alcohol seemed to be the dominated scent. I couldnt detect any of the usual coffee or chocolate smells associated with RIS. Flavor reminded me of medicine upon first sip, with alcohol mixing with an odd tart flavor with a good amount of bourbon like qualities. There was a slight fruity sweetness that helped offset some of the odd flavors. The mouthfeel was quite good though with a full body and a slick feel. This got old be the end of the first glass let alone the whole bottle. I would try this again in the future but this was definitely not one of the better RIS I have had.

Opaque black with disapearing white head. Coconut in the coffee and chocolate malt that just didn't work. much more drinkable when warmed up to full room temperature. Carbonation pushed the fomer taste into the mouth. Whole thing didn't work that well. Bit of a disapointment, but thanks Joe McPhee.

Thanks to Mcallister for sharing this one with the group.
Poured from 22oz bottle into a tasting glass.
Appearance- Beer pours obsidian with a creamy head that quickly dissapates. It has brown highlights when held to the light and the head itself also possesses these same brown highlights.
Smell- Smoky, sweet malts, a chestnut roastiness that I hope was not my imagination due to the season. Plums, figs, and a sugary sour candy smell which strangely smells a bit like sour patch kids. Which are smellable if you get close enough.
Taste- Muscat grapes, a flatness on the tongue that is somewhat similar to stone fermentation such as Samuel Smith, chocolate, espresso, lactose sweetness and a hint of diacetyl.
Mouthfeel- Creamy and light on the mouth. It could use a bit more carbonation and it is not terribly warming for a russian imperial.
Drinkability- Although this is not my favourite RIS of all time, this is quite drinkable for a session and if it were easily obtainable, I would give it a revisit.

2002 vinatage(aged in red wine barrel) :
I was overjoyed with the pour. A finger's width of head and a body darker than your shadow. Nose is full of red wine, and bourbon. I get a little chocolate if I really try to find it. Taste is of red wine. Overwhelmingly so. I get far more red wine than I do stout ...
Once it warmed up to room temp (I let it sit for 20 minutes on the counter but I guess that wasn't long enough) I could pick out more stout characteristics. A little esspresso, chocolate and burnt buttery toast mingled with boisterous red wine. Mouth is better than most of the Poseidon's I've tried. I really am in no rush to drink this again. If I want a stout, I want a stout ... not what tastes like an amazing stout overshadowed and lessened by red wine. I'm personally glad that they've stopped aging their stout those barrells.

12oz bottle, 2006 vintage I believe, courtesy of dave12285 poured into a tulip.
Pours dark opaque black with only the faintest hint of light showing through the edges when held up to light. The head is small and tan, fading quickly to a tiny ring and leaving no lacing.
The aroma is fairly one-dimensional, with the dark, sweet roasted malts dominating the nose altogether. It's definitely sweet with some chocolate, licorice and dark fruits.
The taste let me down a bit as it seems to be a watered down version of the aroma. The sweetness isn't nearly as deep, with the chocolate malts and licorice present, but in less amounts. The finish is chalky with a bitterness that lingers through the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel is light, almost watery, with low carbonation and much less body than I would expect from an RIS.
The nose had me looking up but this stout ended up a little too bland and watery to be great. It's a decent example of the style but nothing to bring me back for another one.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown and black color with a dark tan mocha head. Dark fruit, molasses, chocolate, and roast. Medium/heavy mouthfeel. Roasty and sweet with a molasses backing. Not overly roasty. Nice sweet dark chocolate. Lingering roasted flavors. Decent. Overall, this to me is an pretty average RIS, not overly complex in any way but drinkable.

Reviewed on 3/26/2010. Bottle. Pours black with a small ring of tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malt, charred malt, sweet molasses, vanilla, booze. Flavor is similar with very sweet, heavy roasted and sweet malts, molasses, sweet dark fruits. Heavy palate and somewhat boozy (I was surprised to see the 8% abv). Meh, a little boring for me and I wasn't a fan of the flavor profile.

Onthe bottle, 2006 vintage. Usually a good start, and a beer that I look forward to if the brewer is using a word like "vintage." But this one didn't live up to it. Started well with a beautiful brownish tan head, very bubbly, silky smooth cream on top of a jet black but not opaque black with ruby highlights with a strong light behind it. Good looking beer in a pint class. The smell is even pretty good with a strong, roasty malt that with little hop. But it ended there for me. The assertive coffee in the taste lingers on the roof of my mouth, distracting from the overall taste. Which isn't bad, but a buttery flavor, diacytal, that coats the mouth. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for an Imperial Stout, watery going down. It was a good beer, but not great. I wouldn't been fine with a smaller bottle.
One caveat, all my fish tale ale reveiws are from Jasper Liquors in Jasper, Canada, which I think is light struck from the flourescent lights because I'm getting a similar off taste with every beer I bought from there. Should be a good beer, but I don't think I got the best version of it.

A 650 mL bomber from Liquid Solutions.
A: The stout has a dark brown color resembling more of a brown ale than a stout. The beer is not oily thick, looking like a standard dark ale. The head is a small white band.
S: The nose is an acrid, burnt malt. Chocolate and caramel notes come out as well.
T: The stout is strong on the burnt malt profile. Dark coffee beans and roasted grains shine throughout the beer. Some chocolate and caramel notes come through midway through the sip. The coffee and grains are somewhat thin the more I sip on the ale though, losing the malty flavor and leaving burnt element.
M: The mouthfeel seems to fall a little short on the flavor side, there are no wine-like elements, nor is there a truly memorable aspect of the flavor.
D: The beer is good but not great. I am quite surprised to see that this ale is sitting on the top 100 domestic beers list.

Thanks to Alex for bringing this bottle out to try along with the barrel-aged version. Served in my Cantillon tulip.
Pours a really dark brown with a single-finger tan head. Fades into a light cap. The nose brings forward a bit of roasted malt and some chocolate. Not terribly complex--especially compared with the BA version--but nothing off about it. The taste is along the same lines. It's fairly decent but not good enough to warrant a four. Some roast plus a bit of chocolate. Slightly dry with the roast. Medium body. Decent enough in the end, but nothing remarkable.

A: Thin tan foam that quickly fell into the beer. Beer is black as night without a moon.
S: I smell figs.
T: Slightly burnt character. Fruit coming through - figs and raisins, contributing to underlying sweetness. Overall flavor not as robust as other Imperial Stouts.
M: Initial carbonation was high - so much so, I found it distracting from the flavor.
O: Drinkable brew but with a definite dry finish.

Had right after a 2001 BA Poseidon's at an after-Christmas tasting, both courtesy of Masterski (thanks Alex!). This was a 12oz bottle, consequently small pours for everyone.
It poured dark black and opaque with a lot of tan foam. Pretty similar to the aged BA version in appearance alone.
The smell is not too similar, this is fresher (a plus) but less complex (a minus), and in many ways seemed kindo of pedestrian. Cocoa and roasted malts, maybe just a hint of raisin or plum. These all sound good but together it didn't seem so special without the wine barrel aging.
I felt the cocoa came through the strongest up front, with a lasting roasty bitterness in the aftertaste. A medium body, again not bad but not spectacular.

Label notched Nov but I can't find a year.
A - Pours a dark brown/black with ruby highlights with a thin brown head. Nice brown froth lingers on top along with some lacing.
S - A lot of smoke with some chocolate and alcohol present.
T - A mix of tobacco smoke and ashtray but not necessarily in a bad way. Chocolate and coffee appear behind the smoke. Some hop bitterness is also present.
M - Medium to thick and creamy with just the right amount of carbonation.
D - Not a bad beer but I just get too much tobacco smoke in this one to find it truly enjoyable.

text: Mike Flynn Follow Share This: Print Latest News 720k Americans Leave Labor Force in October On Friday, the Labor Department reported that 720,000 Americans left the labor force. This exodus pushed the labor force participation rate down to 62.8%, the lowest level since 1978. One out of three adults in neither working nor actively looking for work. Nov 8, 2013 7:20 AM PT Jobs Up 204k in October, Unemployment Rate Up to 7.3% The Labor Department reported Friday that the economy gained 204k jobs in October. The unemployment rate rose to 7.3%. The payroll number was higher than expected. Economists attribute the rise in the unemployment rate to last month's government shutdown. The payroll number, however, was not affected by the shutdown. Nov 8, 2013 5:33 AM PT WaPo Pollsters Blame Republicans for Bad Poll The Washington Post's final poll in the Virginia Governor's race predicted Democrat Terry McAuliffe romping to a 12-point landslide victory over Republican Ken Cuccinelli. The Post also found a gender-chasm, with McAuliffe enjoying a 24-point advantage among women over Cuccinelli. Obviously, the election did not turn out that way. The Post's pollsters published an article to explain the wide discrepancy between their poll and reality. In short, it was the Republicans' fault. Nov 7, 2013 8:40 AM PT Cuccinelli Wins Voters, 18-24, by 6 Points This is certainly not the accepted narrative. According to exit polls, Republican Ken Cuccinelli defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe by 6 points, 45-39, among voters aged 18-24. Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis earned 15%, which isn't surprising. President Obama has received overwhelming support from young voters, but that backing didn't transfer to McAuliffe. Nov 6, 2013 12:12 PM PT VA Results Should Terrify Red State Senate Dems While many national Democrats breathed a sigh of relief as Terry McAuliffe eked out a win in Virginia's Governor race, his narrow win ought to terrify Senate Democrats up for reelection next year. In just the final days of the campaign, the ObamaCare issue reversed momentum in the campaign and almost gave Republican Ken Cuccinelli a victory in a race many expected to be a blowout for Democrats. The result is an ominous omen for 2014. Nov 6, 2013 8:22 AM PT Cuccinelli, Sarvis Combine for 53% of Vote Despite polls which showed Democrat Terry McAuliffe with a solid lead, it looks like he will eke to victory in the race for Virginia Governor. With 92% of the vote counted, he leads Republican Ken Cuccinelli, 46.8% to 46.5%. Libertarian Robert Sarvis garners 6.7% of the vote. Combined, the Republican and Libertarian get 53% of the vote. McAuliffe will be elected with 47% of the vote. Nov 5, 2013 6:55 PM PT Major Media Source: VA Turnout At Historic Low A major mainstream media source has told Breitbart News that its models suggest turnout in the Virginia election could fall to an historic low. In 2009, turnout was around 40% of registered voters. Breitbart News has learned turnout could be as low as the mid-30% of voters. Nov 5, 2013 5:27 PM PT Polls, History Suggest Low Turnout in Virginia On the eve of the Virginia elections, months of campaigning now hinge on voter turnout. Odd-year elections have much lower turnout than presidential years, making it difficult to predict the outcome with precision. UVA's Center for Virginia Politics expects turnout to be higher this year than in 2009, when the Republican candidate won a 17-point landslide. Such a turnout, however, would reverse a nearly 30 year historical trend in the Commonwealth. Nothing in recent poll, moreover, suggests that such an outcome is likely. Nov 4, 2013 10:27 AM PT Quinnipiac: Cuccinelli Has Enthusiasm Edge Quinnipiac's final poll of the Virginia Governor's race finds Democrat Terry McAulliffe with a six point, 46-40, lead over Republican Ken Cuccinelli. Libertarian Robert Sarvis garners 8%. The poll noted, however, that "Cuccinelli wins the enthusiasm race among Virginia likely voters." With the expected low turnout in Tuesday's election, this could be a critical factor in deciding the outcome. Nov 4, 2013 8:16 AM PT Cuccinelli Brings in Ron Paul to Close Ken Cuccinelli is spending the final day of his campaign for VA Governor barnstorming the Commonwealth, holding rallies with the entire GOP ticket and Sen. Marco Rubio. His final event, however, says everything about the race on the eve of voting. Monday night, Cuccinelli will hold his final rally in Richmond with former Congressman Ron Paul. The appearance by Dr. Paul, at the campaign's last event, is indicative of the out-sized role Libertarians are playing in the VA race. Nov 4, 2013 7:04 AM PT Tea Party to Protest Obama-McAuliffe Rally The Northern Virginia Tea Party is planning a rally outside the McAuliffe campaign's rally with President Obama on Sunday. Joined by Dr. John Cuccinelli, brother of the Republican candidate, the activists will protest ObamaCare and warn about its possible expansion in Virginia if McAuliffe is elected Governor on Tuesday. Nov 3, 2013 8:05 AM PT Obama's Rally for McAuliffe May Be Conflict of Interest On Sunday, President Obama will travel to Northern Virginia to campaign for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. The Commonwealth Attorney for Loudon County, however, notes that the appearance may be a conflict of interest, given the federal investigations surrounding McAuliffe's business interests. Nov 2, 2013 8:52 AM PT Cuccinelli Campaigns With Scott Walker, Ron Paul In the final weekend of the campaign for Virginia Governor, Republican Ken Cuccinelli has announced rallies with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and former Congressman Ron Paul, among other Republicans. The Cuccinelli campaign has put its hopes for a come-from-behind victory in energizing base Republican and conservative voters. Walker and Paul both have unique appeal with voters Cuccinelli needs on Tuesday. Nov 2, 2013 8:02 AM PT Cuccinelli: 'We're Positioned to Shock the Political World' On a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon, Republican Ken Cuccinelli said his campaign was closing aggressively and was "positioned to shock the political world" in Tuesday's Virginia election. Cuccinelli, who trails Democrat Terry McAuliffe in polling, said his campaign was beating their turnout and grass roots goals. Nov 1, 2013 12:24 PM PT Chevy Volt Sales Plunge 32% in October On Friday, General Motors reported its monthly sales figures for October. Overall the auto company said it sold 33,000 more cars this October, compared to the month last year. Overall sales increased just over 15%, beating Wall Street expectations. Tucked into its sales figures, however, was a staggering 32% drop in sales of the company's iconic Chevy Volt. The company sold just over 2,000 Volts in October. Last October, the company sold almost 3,000. Nov 1, 2013 9:28 AM PT Previous 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next

Buchholz High School senior Amanda Tinker was awarded the annual Dr. Aaron S. Young Sr. Dream Builders Scholarship from Victory Temple and credited her faith in God, support from a loving family and hard work for staying the course toward academic and personal success.
Amanda, 17, received a $700 scholarship at the celebration held at Victory Temple.
The Rev. George Dix, pastor of PASSAGE Family Church, delivered a powerful sermon titled, "No limits. No Boundaries. No excuses." In her welcome and occasion, Mother Musheerah Shahid, a member of Victory Temple, spoke to the theme of the celebration, which was, "Focus, Pursue and Achieve."
"Stay focused and pursue your dream," Mother Shahid said. "Once you are focused, you can set goals and achieve your dreams. Your foundation is the key."
Dr. LaShon Young, pastor of Victory Temple, said Amanda's excellent academic skills, community service and her essay reflected the vision and dream of her husband, the Rev. Dr. Aaron S. Young Sr., who, along with her in 1998, founded Victory Temple. Young died in July 2007 at the age of 54. Since that time, Pastor LaShon Young has continued to pastor the church.
"Dr. Young believed in not giving up," Pastor LaShon Young said. "In the midst of all her (Amanda's) troubles, she didn't make excuses."
Amanda is the daughter of Cleveland Tinker and the late Francina L. "Cina" Thomas. Amanda holds a 3.7 GPA and is expected to graduate in June with a certificate from the Academy of Finance. She has been accepted to the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, where she will pursue a degree in business administration.
During a brief speech, Amanda shared her experiences and expressed her appreciation for the scholarship. She spoke about the devastating loss of her mother, who passed away from heart failure in 2011, the day before Mother's Day.
"My mom was my No. 1 supporter and the biggest influence for the decisions I've made," Amanda said. "I'm so thankful for my dad and stepmother. I have a wonderful father to pick up the pieces of a girl's broken heart."
Amanda read from her essay, which said, in part: "Hard work and prayer are what I need to reach my destiny. Dreams are cultivated when you believe and trust in the Lord."
During his sermon, Dix read from Luke 5:1-5 and shared personal stories to illustrate the importance of education to achieve success. He referred to a "Family First" presentation by assistant to the superintendent Philoron Wright, who was at Victory Temple to discuss his platform as a candidate for the Alachua County School Board. "If you make excuses for your child, you're raising a child dependent on you forever," said Wright, during his presentation. "Tough love is needed in the home. To save your child, tell it like it is."
Dix said there is an opportunity to impact the community through the children.
"Our children are our most precious possession," Dix said. "The best investment is to teach children to read, to be avid readers and to approach life with "no limit, no boundaries, no excuses."
"We have a God that loves all of us where we are," Dix continued. "If you have love in your heart, you can make it."
Applications for the 2015 Dream Builders Scholarship are now available at the church at 908 SE Williston Road. For more information, call 352-377-4944.

Travelers considering a trip this summer or for the Memorial Day weekend may want to book now.ξ Travelocity Senior Editor Genevieve Shaw Brown says international flights are cheaper and domestic flights are in the under-$300 range.
"If you're getting anything below that price on a domestic flight, you're doing pretty well.ξ What's really interesting about this Memorial Day that was that although Memorial Day is considered generally more of a domestic travel holiday, we're seeing such great deals on international flights — about $610 on average, and that is below where fares were in 2005.ξ So those are proving to be a great value.ξ I encourage people to take advantage of low international fares now.ξ We expect that when carriers cut back on their international routes this fall, those prices might go up.ξ So this summer might be a great time to take that trip maybe to Europe or to Asia or wherever it is that you want to go."ξξ
Brown says you can save money by combining flights and hotel.ξ
"You do.ξ Vacation packages are a great way to save money.ξ In fact, Travelocity recently did a study on vacation packages, and found the average savings is $315 versus booking the exact same trip separately.ξ A lot of people ask me 'well, why is that?'ξ Well, hotels that don't want to lower their stand-alone rates will lower them when they're part of a package, when the customer only sees the total price for their flight and hotel.ξ They don't see the stand-alone hotel rates.ξ So hotels give us bigger discounts, which we then pass to customers, and hopefully, everybody's happy in the end."ξ
Brown suggests checking out all area airports when you book a flight, as some have competitively lower prices.ξ She advises checking out Travelocity's Web site, but also do travel homework on hotel and airline Web sites.ξ

For a first year festival, Orlando Calling really had it all, proving the organizers are not strangers to what makes a great weekend of music.
It's tragically easy to grow tired of modern pop music. Ever been to a show and wondered why the band stuck so rigidly to the formula already laid out on their studio albums? I have. Ever realized halfway through a performance that sounds you thought the band was making were prerecorded? I have. Ever turned off your radio for two months and felt like you weren't missing anything new? I have.

Valentine's Day Potential Coastal Snowstorm
By Andrew at 3:43 PM
There is potential for a coastal snowstorm near Valentine's Day on the 14th.
Above, the mean sea level pressure forecast is shown for February 12th. The synoptic overview is very stagnant, with strong high pressure in place across the nation. A large swath of modest low pressure is present north of the Yucatan Peninsula in the western Gulf of Mexico. This is the storm system we are watching for this event. To be perfectly honest, the prized Nor'easter track is quite nearly the only option this storm has. You have two strong high pressure masses that are essentially rolling out the red carpet between them. With strong high pressure over land and equally strong high pressure out to sea, any storm systems are easily persuaded into going up the East Coast.
Moving ahead to February 13th, the storm system has taken that red carpet path up the coast and is in the Mid-Atlantic. Although it shows two low pressure systems, I have a pretty good feeling that they would have a fair shot at merging, if this forecast were to verify. Regardless, both high pressure areas previously mentioned have now moved out of their domains, with the US high pressure pushing south and the Atlantic high pressure system also pushing south. This then raises the question, can the storm still continue on a path that would favor a lot of snow for the Northeast? Well, if we look again at the storm system, we see a tendency for lower pressure to apparently be trying to spread east towards the Atlantic. That tells me that it wants to go out to sea rather than going up the coast. In the Nor'easter track's defense, the storm is well enough inland that, even if it were to try and go out to sea, it would be moving northeast and would still make a clean hit on the Northeast for accumulating snow.
I want to dabble in that February 13th timeframe some more, but now we are looking at 500 millibar height anomalies, with warm colors indicating high pressure and cold colors showing low pressure. I'm taking a look at the atmospheric set-up for this storm, and i'm not really getting good vibes about it. In order for the storm to go up the coast, high latitude blocking in Greenland is almost a necessity. And while we do have some high pressure anomalies over Greenland, the majority is too far south for my liking. Also, high pressure in the Pacific Northwest and low pressure trying to rebuild in the Southwest makes me think a Rex Block is trying to form. The Rex Block consists of high pressure stacked on top of low pressure. Downstream of this blocking pattern is more zonally-oriented (west-to-east jet stream, little cold) wind flow, something that would try to force this storm to go more out to sea rather than up the East Coast.
Finally, we arrive on Valentine's Day. The storm has 'bombed out' to a central minimum pressure of 980 millibars in typical Nor'easter fashion. It is certainly giving quite a bit of love to the New England area, as very heavy snow is accumulating in much of the region as this event happens. As the projected snowfall graphic shows below, the accumulations would be extreme if this event happened:
I need to see multiple runs of the ECMWF in coming days to see if this event is still a go in the model's eyes, because right now, there is little support in other models and ensembles for an event of this magnitude to happen. I'm very on-edge about the lack of blocking high pressure over Greenland; I really want to see more enthusiastic high pressure over that land mass before I can look more positively at this storm's prospects. I would also like to see less of that Rex Block set-up; that puts me at an uneasiness I need to settle before I go ahead with more confidence on this event's potential.

For approximately a jillion weeks now, I've been working on a post about why I believe BDSM can be (and is for me) feminist. For some reason, work has been slow on it . . . I've got so many ideas, and I'm having trouble reconciling them and laying them out in a coherent form.
Anyhow, one of the things I've been thinking about a lot is the origin and nature of BDSM desire, spurred in part by a number of really excellent posts over at the Let Them Eat Pro-SM Feminist Safe Spaces blog.
Of course, I'm interested in where my desires come from . . . and I want to understand BDSM desire more completely, but the more I think about it, the more I think that it's sort of irrelevant. We get turned on by what we get turned on by, and whatever the reasons are, I don't think that we're necessarily able to change it.
Does that mean that we shouldn't examine our desires? No, not at all, but . . . well . . . well, let's just say that Trinity puts it far, far better (and snarkier!) than I ever could:
How long have you been vanilla?
Are you sure that you're not simply too nervous to submit or dominate because past traumas make you too nervous to relate to others on a truly intimate level?
Have you ever really examined your vanilla desires?
The vast majority of sexuality depicted in the media is vanilla. Are you sure your desires now don't stem from not seeing alternate models much in the media?
How can you experience true intimacy with someone if you're afraid to share erotic pain with them? Aren't you missing something?
It's really a shame that our screwed up vanilla-normative society ruined you like that.
Oh, I'm not telling you what to DO. I'd never do that. But it's such a shame that you HAVE to.
Oh, I've been involved in some vanilla things myself, but I'm better than the rest because I realize that when the SMers say we should question, they're right! I try not to get too involved.
I'm not trying to diss those who want to create egalitarian relationships for themselves, but it's so played out and socially normative. I'm going to go create my own communities wherein we strive to create truly hierarchical relationships. It really saddens me to see people stuck invested in the same old eroticization of sameness.
When people tell me that I'm just saying all of this because my own proclivities are sadomasochistic it makes me so SAD. Don't they see that this is BIGGER THAN THE PERSONAL?
Even I have vanilla fantasies now and then. It's impossible not to in a society like this one. I'm not the enemy!
This is the point.
I don't mind examining the dynamic behind polyamory or BDSM or whatever, but when it's asked from the outside, and when the subtext is, "oh, you poor dear, have you tried to figure out how you got broken?"
Well, then . . . screw you. I'm not broken. How about you open up your life to public critique, hmm?

BCSC panel issues lifetime ban against B.C. man for fraud
VANCOUVER, Oct. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - A British Columbia Securities Commission panel has sanctioned a B.C. man for committing fraud.
In August 2013, a commission panel found that Won Sang Chen Cho (a.k.a. Craig Cho) committed fraud through his various businesses, including Chosen Media and Groops Media.
Between January 2011 and February 2012, Cho, doing business as Chosen Media, promoted securities on the Vancouver Craigslist website and sought minimum investments of $5,000. The panel found that Cho raised $101,846 from five investors, to whom he returned purported investment returns of $62,000.
Cho admitted to promising extremely high rates of return that were "risk free", and to telling prospective investors that he would deposit their funds into accounts at various sports betting websites. He admitted that he told investors that profit would be generated by the "generous signup and reload bonuses" provided by the sports betting websites.
The panel also found that in December 2012, during the course of the Chosen Media investigation, Cho sent an e-mail promoting an investment with Groops Media requiring a minimum $10,000 investment. He admitted that this was after he had been warned by BCSC staff that he must comply with prospectus requirements when distributing securities through Chosen Media.
In its sanctions decision, the panel stated that, "Cho has been given several chances to correct his behaviour and has not taken them. It is clear that he poses a serious and continuing risk to investors and to our markets."
For his misconduct, Cho is permanently banned from trading in securities, purchasing securities or exchange contracts, and from becoming or acting as a director or officer of any issuer or registrant. He is also permanently prohibited from becoming or acting as a registrant, investment fund manager or promoter, from engaging in investor relations activities, and from acting in a management or consultative capacity in connection with the securities market.
The panel ordered Cho to pay the $20,569 still owed to investors, as well as an administrative penalty of $200,000.
The panel also permanently cease-traded Chosen Media and Groops Media.
The B.C. Securities Commission is the independent provincial government agency responsible for regulating trading in securities within the province. You may view the decision on our website, www.bcsc.bc.ca, by typing Cho, Chosen Media, Groops Media or 2013 BCSECCOM 454 in the search box. Information regarding disciplinary proceedings can be found in the Enforcement section of the BCSC website.

A beloved space pioneer and well-known
visionary has passed away.
Frederick Ordway III died Tuesday at the age
of 87 in Huntsville. He is best known for his work as technical advisor to the
film "2001: A Space Odyssey." He is also noted for his work with Dr. Wernher
von Braun on the Apollo program at Marshall Space Flight Center.
U.S. Space & Rocket Center Director of
Exhibits Jennifer Crozier said Ordway's work on "2001" was near to his heart,
and something he continued to speak about, as recently as April at the center.
Ordway's daughter, Aliette Marisol Lambert,
said her father never lost his love for space.
"That was his goal in life, to help keep the
love of space alive," Lambert said. "His number-one goal was for the world to
keep its eyes on the universe."
Ordway was the longest-serving member of the
American Rocket Society, joining in 1939 as its youngest-ever member.
At the request of his family, donations in
Fred Ordway's memory may be made to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center
Foundation to support the 2001 Space Odyssey exhibit.

Ditto here. I feel like MarDar did a good job of writing the characters as individuals & keeping their personalities consistent. TomSell seem to modify personalities to fit the story.
