How innovative are UK firms? Evidence from the Fourth UK Community Innovation Survey on synergies between technological and organizational innovations
Battisti, Giuliana and Stoneman, Paul. (2010) How innovative are UK firms? Evidence from the Fourth UK Community Innovation Survey on synergies between technological and organizational innovations. British Journal of Management, Vol.21 (No.1). pp. 187-206. ISSN 1045-3172

Using data from the Fourth UK Community Innovation Survey this paper explores the diffusion of a range of innovative activities (encompassing process, product, machinery, marketing, organization, management and strategic innovations) across 16,383 British companies in 2004. Building upon a simple theoretical model it is shown that the use of each innovation is correlated with the use of all other innovations. It is shown that the range of innovations can be summarized by two multi-innovation factors, labelled here `organizational' and `technological', that are complements but not substitutes for each other. Three clusters of firms are identified where intensity of use of the two sets of innovations is below average (56.9% of the sample); intermediate but above average (23.7%); and highly above average (19.4%). Distinctive characteristics are found to be common to the companies in each cluster. Finally, it is shown that innovativeness tends to persist over time.

Logansport has two North Central Conference champions that will lead the Berries into the Warsaw boys swimming sectional.
The swimming preliminaries will be held tonight, with the consolations and finals to be held on Saturday.
Logan junior Dustin Clements was the NCC champion in the 100-yard backstroke this season with a time of 57.82 seconds.
"I was extremely happy on my performance," Clements said. "My goal was to go out and get a :57, and that's what I got."
Clements, a first-time NCC champ, said he will likely need to drop some time this weekend in order to qualify for the state finals.
"Warsaw has a guy that's pretty good, so it'll be good competition. I'm looking to go a :56 or :55 hopefully," he said.
Clements also plays baseball for the Berries and saw quite a bit of action last season as a sophomore. He played in the Colt World Series last summer for Hoosier North.
"I don't like [swimming] as much as baseball, but it keeps me in shape for baseball," he said. "I've been swimming since I can remember. Jon-Myckle [Price], he's helped me a lot, too. Then Heidi [Hendricks-Knight] became the swim coach and she's helped me, too."
As for baseball, Clements said, "We've got a lot of good guys. I believe we have the team to go out and get sectionals hopefully."
Hendricks-Knight said Clements is seeded third in the sectional in the 100 back.
"He's done awesome this year. He's been working hard," she said. "He's done a lot better this year."
Logansport has a standout diving team this year and for the first time in school history had three divers on the podium at the NCC meet. Senior Tyler Graves was the NCC champion.
"I just feel really lucky to have competed well because with my dives they could go either way," Graves said. "Sometimes I nail them and sometimes I'm way off. I was really surprised to come out on top because normally nine times out of 10 my teammate Dustin Shafer will beat me. But I was really lucky.
"As a whole, in my opinion, we have the best diving team around. I wish we could compete together collectively because our scores just vary by a few points all the time. I could be first or I could be third very easily."
The diving prelims and finals are on Saturday. The top four finishers in the finals advance to next Tuesday's South Bend Riley Regional.
"At sectional, I think that me, [Austin] Poe and Dustin [Shafer] all have a chance to move on as long as we prepare and are ready for anything," Graves said.
The top eight finishers at the regional then advance to the state finals.
"The regional last year was a great experience, but I didn't stand a chance," Graves said. "The people that I talk to, the least experience there was six years, and this is my third year of diving. I just can't compete with the time and money they put into the sport."

Best Practise Profile: TAM's Programa Fidelidade
Launched in 1993, Brazilian carrier TAM's Fidelidade Program, was nothing but company founder Captain Rolim Amaro´s wish to know customers better. Then a regional airline connecting passengers from São Paulo´s central airport to many central smaller airports in the main business towns in Brazil, TAM was already making itself notorious, precisely due to his presence on the boarding gate shaking hands, greeting and exchanging his business cards with passengers. Pretty soon his rollodex was loaded with rich information about his customers. Also, because he was at the boarding gate every day, he had a fairly good idea of how often this or that customer took this or that flight.
It didn´t take him much to realize that he had all the ingredients to bake his own FFP. He just had to add his special touch: do it better, be creative and do it before his competitors. So the program was born with points instead of miles as currency. For each segment flown the customer earned 1 point. Every 10 points earned could be exchanged for a free segment- any segment the customer chose, a very simple rule. How did they know they were entitled to a free segment? An "invitation", in the format of a voucher, was mailed to each customer as the 10 points were earned. All vouchers were signed by Captain Amaro as a way of saying "thank you" and of showing appreciation for that customer's business.
About 12 years and 3 million award tickets later, TAM´s Fidelidade Program has reached a mature state. The initial fly-ten-legs-get-one-leg-free engine is still in place, as is the no-award-seat-limitation-within-South-America policy. However it now accommodates differential accrual and redemption rules for classes of service, transcontinental flights. Not to mention upgrade perks, access to exclusive and co-op VIP lounges and dedicated check-in counters in all airports. It has over 2,750,000 members, 1/3 of which flew with the company in the last 12 months. The program's co-branded credit card is also booming, with 140,000 new accounts in the last 18 months - an excellent number for the Brazilian market, especially if you consider the fact that 65% of the cards are in the gold or platinum categories.
The whole company is also in a mature state. In 2004, TAM had a best-ever profit of around US$ 120 millions and, last June, made its second public offer of shares in the Brazilian market to improve investments in the renewal and growth of its fleet. Also for the first time ever there was a company wide performance-based bonus.
The company also grew wiser. Without losing the focus on customer service, TAM decided to re-engineer its relationship with travel agents, responsible for 80% of its sales. For 3 years a dedicated team studied all details of how to use customer information on its most important distribution channel. The company also met with major distributors and listened to their suggestions on how they could use that information. The result was a bold move to develop and implement its own web-based system for travel agents, a successful strategy that decreased booking costs by US$ 20 millions in the last 8 months alone. About 95% of the travel agent bookings are already done on the company´s e-TAM Portal (the "e" standing for enchantment, not for electronic) with GDSs being used mostly for bookings outside Brazil.
But most important of all is that TAM is now ready to start operating its customer relationship strategy, which is being called in the company "TRM" (TAM´s version of a CRM). If the numbers are confirmed for what the company envisions, TAM will once again demonstrate its ability to stay one step ahead of the market. Only this time, it is not going to be as easy for competitors to match what TAM is offering.

It's a week of good things. The first is this recipe for sweet potatoes: cut thick, lathered up with olive oil, and roasted in a hot oven until the outside begins to caramelize and the inside goes all soft. Makes sense to share it today since I just heard it's National Sweet Potato Month. That's one of those holidays food commodities make up to get you to buy their goods.
Luckily, the sweet potato is an easy one to get behind considering its nutritional virtues. It's at the top spot of the Center for Science in the Public Interest's list of the best foods to eat. Not surprising considering that the sweet potato is loaded with carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. I prefer them over plenty of other starchy sides, particularly alongside roast chicken and pork. Their sturdiness also make them a filling option for vegetarian meals. You'll find the roasted sweet potato recipe at the end of this post.
Onto other good things…
Bagels Slim Down — I popped into Noah's Bagels the other day and was pleased to see they now sell bagel thins. If you read this post a while back about the super sizing of bagels, you'll know how I feel about keeping portion sizes in check. Noah's bagel thins taste better (at least to me) than the packaged ones in the supermarket and are about half the calories of regular bagels. I'm a fan of Honey Whole Wheat, in particular, since they pack in four grams of fiber. My kids gave them a thumbs up, especially as a swap for sandwich bread.
Beans in a Box — More good news on BPA-free food options. Perusing the aisles of Whole Foods the other day, I stopped in my tracks when I noticed the Fig Food brand of beans packed NOT in BPA-lined cans, but in recyclable tetra-pak boxes. One more choice for those looking for convenience, but wanting to avoid this unfriendly chemical.
Yippee! School Lunch — Big improvements for school lunches are on the horizon. The amount of fruits and vegetables on lunch trays will double thanks to new standards just put out by the USDA. The amount of fiber will also go up; sodium and trans fats will go down. So nice to hear something good happening for our kids in schools.
Lunchbox Option — Speaking of lunch, a friend put me onto this cool lunchbox product called Planet Box. She is so enthusiastic about them I think she might want to stop practicing law and go work for the company. It's a sort of an all-in-one, bento style, stainless steel lunch kit that eliminates the need for loads of little containers with lids you can never seem to match up Not cheap, but is something I'm considering. Anybody else try these out?
Cookbook News — Finally, the clock seems to be ticking rather rapidly these days as I've got about six weeks to turn in my cookbook to the publisher. Yikes. I made a creamy chocolate pudding that I can't wait to share with you and some killer kale chips that four out of five in our household are eating like it's crack (ok, maybe I'm eating it like an addict, but the rest like it, too. I'll do my best to keep the blog posts coming between now and the due date, but if I start slacking, you'll know why.
As far as those sweet potatoes…
• 2 large, fat sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Cut crosswise into slices that are about 2/3-inch thick. Put slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands to toss the potatoes in the oil until evenly coated.
Lay sweet potatoes out over the two baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Put in the center of the oven to bake. When the potatoes are nicely browned on the bottom (about 20 minutes) remove the pans from the oven and flip the sweet potatoes over to the other side. Continue to bake until the second side is browned and the potatoes are very tender in the center.
Serve right away.
Makes 4 to 6 servings as a side dish.

Champaign, Ill. (AP) -- The union representing about 800 building and food service workers who went on strike at the University of Illinois this month says it has reached a tentative deal with the school.
Adam Rosen is a spokesman for the Service Employees International Union. He said Wednesday the union's bargaining committee recommended that employees approve the four-year offer from the university. A vote is set for Thursday and Friday.
Rosen declined to provide details on the offer.
A university spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The employees went on strike for three days earlier this month. The union negotiated with the university for several months over wages and other issues.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

The collaboration of the poet Anne-James Chaton, guitarist Andy Moor and musician Alva Noto is a dense and structured sound design, in which words, rhythms, and melodic loops inexorably blend. Anne-James Chaton reads almost a litany of portraits of people, built from lists of events and objective facts. The list is set in several languages, deliberately repetitive, and becomes a continuous bass line on which the music builds up. The electronic sound structures of Alva Noto perfectly complement the incursions of Andy Moor's experimental guitar playing. Gradually, the prose, the guitar and machines resonate, culminating in a powerful storm both musical and harmonious.

Council picks flooding hotspots for emergency funding
9:00am Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News
Nine flooding 'hotspots' have been identified as priorities for emergency funding.
Essex County Council (ECC) announced earlier this month it was making £1million available to tackle road flooding across the county.
It asked the county's 12 districts to each identify the worst flooding areas on its roads.
Braintree Council has submitted nine areas, including the A120 in Bradwell, where flood water blocked the carriageway in both directions on February 7.
Other priority areas include Leather Lane in Great Yeldham, where drivers were forced to turn round two weeks ago as flooding made the road unpassable.

he doesn't like to do calculations in class and sometimes lectures are drawn out and boring. some questions on exams come from lectures. Exams are fairly easy though and he encourages you to contact him throughout the semester. he also collects 1-2 homeworks a semester to count towards quiz grades.

About The AuthorEdit
I am slowly working on an original novel series of my fantasy, combining several science fiction genres with overarching themes of environmental health and human endurance. The BZPRPG is my daily dose of sci-fi free-writing, and I have been playing this Bionicle text-based game since 2010. It is by far one of the best communities of writers and players I have found, and I recommend simply taking a look when you need some quality science-fiction/tropical paradise/sandbox story reading. Technical writing is not my strong suit, though I am practicing daily to improve my skills in that field.

Legislative Purpose of Chaco Culture
Chaco Culture NHP was first proclaimed under the Antiquities Act as Chaco Canyon National Monument on March 11, 1907 for the purpose of preserving the significant archaeological features located in Chaco Canyon. The Presidential Proclamation (35 Stat. 2119, see Appendix A) states:
"…the extensive communal or pueblo ruins . . . are of extraordinary interest because of their number and their great size and because of the innumerable and valuable relics of a prehistoric people which they contain, and it appears that the public good would be promoted by preserving these prehistoric remains as a National Monument with as much land as may be necessary for the proper protection thereof."
Over the decades, research and discoveries revealed that the prehistoric Chaco cultural system extended far beyond the national monument boundary. The need to protect this larger area was recognized. Accordingly, Congress passed Public Law 96-550 on December 19, 1980, changing the status from a national monument to a national historical park, enlarging the original monument boundary and mandating protection for selected Chaco sites on land administered by other public, tribal, and private entities. Under Public Law 96-550, Chaco Culture NHP and the Chaco Culture Archaeological Protection Sites Program were established for the purposes of:
Did You Know?
Among their many accomplishments, the CCC camp at Chaco planted 80,000 trees and 80,000 shrubs at Chaco between 1939 and 1941. They also cut poles and surveyed 375 miles for telephone line, built 1018 small dikes to control erosion, and constructed 3.2 miles of entrance road. More...

Review Details
Sterling Silver Gemstone Lotus PendantsProduct Review (submitted on November 30, 2013):
I bought this necklace in peridot and it looks exactly as pictured. I was very happy with the quality and it is an understated and simple piece, just what i was looking for. Unfortunately, I have had several people ask me if it is a marijuana leaf (at work and in my personal life)! Maybe it's because I picked the green shade, but it was happening so frequently I have pretty much stopped wearing it. It's unfortunate because it's really a lovely piece, but easily confused by the general public it seems.

A questionable car deal prompted the firing of the longtime executive
director of the Harrison County Utility Authority on Friday.
utility board voted unanimously at a special meeting to terminate
Kamran Pahlavan. The decision followed a lengthy closed door meeting.
Board members convened the special meeting at nine o'clock Friday morning.
"I suggest you go ahead and vote to go into executive session," said Board Attorney Jim Simpson.
board then went behind closed doors for nearly three and a half hours,
where they discussed Executive Director Kamran Pahlavan's reported
purchase of a used car, which was bought and financed by a man who owns a
company which has a large contract with the utility authority.
Serious concerns about conflict of interest, led to the motion to fire the director, which was read by the board attorney.
board feels that the transactions engaged in by the executive director
and his handling of the matter were materially adverse to the best
interests of the district. And the motion is to terminate the contract
of the executive director, effective immediately," attorney Simpson
The vote which followed was unanimous, but the board chairman called it a difficult decision.
just hard. It's a very hard thing. We have a great working
relationship. These are just some issues that transpired that we just
can't have, you know. We can't condone it. It may have been, I don't
know. It's just sad that it comes to this, you know," said Chairman
Billy Skellie.
It was a sentiment echoed by board member Kim Savant, who admitted it was a tough decision.
"Yeah. It's always that. Termination is never something you want to come to. I hated it," Savant told WLOX News.
"It's hard, you know, these type decisions," said Chairman Skellie, "but it was in the best interest of the district. It needed to be done."
Kamran Pahlavan left the meeting room quickly and did not return our call asking for comment.
Skellie said the utility authority will quickly launch a search for a
new executive director. Another employee at the utility authority, Bart
Clover, will temporarily fulfill the director's duties.

BRONCOS VS. PACKERS 2nd HALF BLOG
INVESCO FIELD — Let's take a quick look at some first-half stats, shall we?
- Broncos' running backs have combined for 91 yards — 42 for Selvin Young, 41 for Andre Hall. That whole "Running Back By Committee" deal looks pretty good right about now.
- Brandon Marshall has two catches for 71 yards, including that circus catch on the 49-yard TD. No other WR caught a pass. (TE Nate Jackson caught two, including the other TD).
- Green Bay had just 31 yards rushing — an average of 2.6 yards per carry.
- Aaron Rodgers was 16-for-19 for 178 yards. Cutler was 6-for-13 for 115 yards.
- Marquand Manuel hurt his right arm on the opening kickoff of the second half. Trainers held the arm still as Manuel walked off.
- Cutler is done for the night. Patrick Ramsey leading the offense to start the second half.
- Rodgers, however, is back for more.
- The Broncos' 2nd-team defense: DT Kenny Peterson and Nic Clemons; DE Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder; LBs: Niko Koutouvides, Louis Green and Wesley Woodyard; CBs: Domonique Foxworth and Karl Paymeh; Safeties Josh Barrett and Roderick Rogers. Jack Williams is the nickel DB.
- Injury update on Manuel: he hurt his thumb and will not return.
- Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler are standing together on the sideline, both finished for the night. Marshall spent the TV timeout talking to a field judge, it looked like he was asking the official questions. Also, he's wearing some sweet baby blue-and-white high top sneakers. They are very shiny. Cutler is snacking on sunflower seeds.
- Paul Carrington — getting more reps at DE in the second-half ahead of Moss — was slow to get up, but was able to walk off the field with a slight limp. Trainers are helping him stretch on the sideline. The official word is that he has a strained left calf and will not return.
- Andre Hall is getting more work. He just replaced Pittman on a first-and-goal at the 6 yard line.
- Broncos couldn't score after that 1st-and-goal. A fourth-down pass from Patrick Ramsey to Clifford Russell was in-com-plete.
- Something's up with Sam Paulescu. Brett Kern made both of Denver's punts so far, and he was doing most of the practice holds for Matt Prater on the sideline. Paulescu has just now started working with Prater a bit. We'll see if he gets the next chance to punt.
- Elvis Dumervil is back on the sideline is street clothes. His right hand is in a soft cast. That narrows down the possibilities of which injured finger it is from 8 to 4.
- Friend of the Blog, Mr. DC, checking in via text message from somewhere in Texas: KOA is still running an ad that features John Lynch pitching for a credit union.
- Time to go down on the field and then into the locker room for interviews. We'll come back for a few postgame thoughts when it's all over. See you then!

On tap at Stone Winter Storm
A: Full creamy light tan head spreads out across a burnt umber toffee colored body. There is no bubble activity going on inside the body what so ever.
S: Subtle toffee with a coffee candy approach to it.
T: Subdued caramel and butterscotch with hints of lemon and grapefruit. Slightly cloying across the palate like a candy would be. Finishes with nips of honey and red apple.
M: Medium body with a bit of prickly carbonation.
D: This one was past its prime. Most of the desirable flavors had left the party.

4.13/5 rDev +5.6%
Pours a lightish brownish color with an offed whiteness of a headskie. Taste is strong and pepperful, certainly much more so than the first time I drank this brew in early 2003. The favor has matured much over the three and a half years, and is certainly the better for the age... Smoother than ever.

4.28/5 rDev +9.5%
This beer pours a very cloudy, muddy brown color, with a very thin light tan head. What little head there is fades sllowly, leaving a small lacing.
This beer smells primarily of alcohol. Behind that, I smell some spice. Coriander is present. Also, I smell some earthy yeast. A slight malty caramel aroma is present.
As with the aroma, this beer tastes of alcohol. It has a sweet caramel malt flavor. It tastes slightly spicy. Also, some yeasty flavors are present. Much of the flavor of this beer are very subtle since it is somewhat old.
This full bodied beer goes down smooth. It is crisp and refreshing, despite the alcohol like flavors. It is very low in carbonation, but over 3 years in a cellar will do that.
I think that this beer would make a decent session beer. The only problem is that it is next to imposible to find.
Overall: Finally, I have had the chance to try this beer. Thanks to O'Brien;s Pub for making it available.

A nice surprise at a friend's BBQ last weekend, this Epic pours a dark, rusty garnet color with a beige collar that lasts well in spite of it's higher abv.
Aroma is rather authentic in it's Belgian attributes when sampled cold; dark fruit, toffee, and musty yeast notes with plenty of dark berry. As it warms, more of the caramel, cocoa, and hoppy notes come out.
Flavor follows a similar structure; great overripe dark fruit, strawberry, and dry woody earthiness slowly fades to rich caramel , chocolate and light coffee bitterness. It's plenty hoppy as i expected. I don't know what Alligator pepper is but I don't taste it at all. Alcohol tastes higher than the claimed 8.5%, although it's not hot. Strange, but still good.
Body is pretty big, with a chewy mouthfeel that is more akin to a barleywine. I prefer a more effervescent BSDA.

First time I've had this beer. Just read Stone's most recent tasting notes and I've gotta say that I disagree with most of their comments. Never did try it fresh, but I bet it was much better then. Even properly cellared my bottle showed a ton of oxidation, especially in the aroma. Some hints of wild forest fruit and roast, but mostly just oxidation in the nose. Upon tasting, there are other elements (i.e. honeyed fruit, some hints of Belgian yeast, roast, toffee), but are all muted and a bit stale and it's really oxidized.

I love all Stone brews, and this is no exception. Beautiful pour, and that sweet fruity/sweet/spicy aroma that wafts from the glass made my mouth water. I think the allegator peppers were alittle much, but it was still a great brew. Can't wait to see what it tastes like on 12/12/12

Dark cola colored body with a quickly disappearing light tan head. Scattered lacing was left on the glass. Rich ripe dark fruit sweetness filled the aroma. Some alcohol showed its face as well as milder earthy notes. Flavor was packed with sweet dark fruits and some toffee. Light alcohol and woody earthiness were lingering about. This really tastes like a barley wine to me at this point. Some spice also peaks through. Pretty thick and smooth feel that really warmed me up. Pretty drinkable stuff though the alcohol burn seems to get worse as it warmed. I remember this being good fresh and it is definitely interesting and could probably have gone a few more years easily.

Ummmm...tasty stuff!. Enjoyed at Dilly Deli's Stone tasting in Cincinnati last night and it did not disapoint. Uniquely Belgian in it's woodyness, tartness, and belgian yeast twang. Very well aged, matured, and conditioned for a very smooth, full, and drinkable beverage. Quite musky without the vineous flavors that usually accompany such beers. Spices fall on the more mellow and subdued side, rather than the harsh or acidic flavors. Quite a vanilla and caramel flavor that becomes more apparent in the finish. Less dry and hot than I expected. Very solid brew

A peppered out double. Dig it. This beer was poured into my duvel tulip and I let a good tan head rise over the dark brown liquid. Very nicely carboanted small bubbles rise throughout. Smell is of belgian ester yeastyness with sweet malt with many dimensions and playable actions, just purely enjoyable to smell. The taste is sweet dark fruit that is evaporated to reveal white pepper eating into your tongue. Lively tasting as if it is fighting back. Very intense and interesting. NIce heavy body and way too drinkable. I will have to get the homebrew recipe and try my own now.

Appearance Picked up at Marty's earlier today. 22 oz bottle. This is a cloudy brew with only a thin off-white head that sticks around for mere seconds.
Smell More like an aged English beer than something Belgian inspired. Dark fruits with a touch of chocolate. Some sweetness, but without a trace of alcohol.
Taste Dark fruit, plums and raisins, and sweetness upfront with the chocolate only appearing in the aftertaste. The Belgian character is more apparent in the taste with spice and yeast being contributing components. An odd combination that seems to have harmonized over the nearly 3 years in the bottle. Still no hint of alcohol.
Mouthfeel Medium high carbonation, the body is a bit syrupy for me. This could have used some sugar to thin it a bit.
Drinkability & Notes Age has rendered this very drinkable, the only detraction being the full body. A tasty beer to be sure, glad I picked one up because I'm not sure if I'll ever see it again.

Pours a deep ruby haze, with a very dense tan head that fades slowly to a thick ring and a film on top.
Smells of raisins, bananas, and a kick of clove.
Taste is dark plums, some spiced rum, bananas, and strawberries in the finish, hops are almost nonexistant. Fairly smooth, in spite of the carbonation edge.
The alcohol hides in this extremely well, it's almost scary. Very tasty, I could see myself drinking quite a bit of this stuff if I could!

Finally worked up the nerve to crack this puppy open. Appearance is a dark amber, nearly brown with a semi-thick head. Smell is of rich dark fruits, alcohol,molasses, sugar cane....damn complex. Mouthfeel is fairely heavy with a bunch of spicyness hitting you right up front. As the flavor settles theres a bit of earthiness with some toffeeish flavors going on. Alcohol is definetly there, but not overpowering...i could certainly drown a few pints of this. This brew certainly warms you up quite a bit. Overall, a great dark ale that I will hopefully find some more of.

The beer poured into the chalice crystal clear deep amber almost brown with a white and low head which did remain to lace the glass.
The aroma was malty and very fruity with a strong dark fruit complexity of raisins and prunes. The aroma also contained a nice chocolate aroma and a light phenolic high alcohol spice character. The spice contained coriander and also a tobacco aromatic.
The flavor was lighter than expected after the flourish of the aroma. The biggest component was a citrusy flavor component when first poured. As the beer warmed a chocolate and tobacco presence emerged with a nice caramel flavor and a peppery, coriander spice. The more the beer warmed the more of a molasses flavor that emerged.
The finish was dry with a lasting ligh pepper and coriander and a slight winey character coupled with chocolate and caramel into the aftertaste. The body was medium. The beer contained a definite warming after consumption from the alcohol present.
22 ounce bottle. If you have one, go ahead and consume it, this one doesn't seem to be passing the test of time as well as it could.

Pours a medium brownish/red with a thumb sized tan head that leaves some sparce lace behind.
Aroma is fruity sweet peach, grapes and apricot on a malty base almost toffee like.Spices brown sugar mixed with ginger and hints of cinnamon.
Taste is malty brown sugars an intense fruitiness that lasts for a few seconds then mellows to a nice spice finish. Peppery light cinnamon hints but the pepper lingers and mixes with some light hops flavors still left.
Mouthfeel is medium not as full as it looks but still nice finish is dry.
Drinkability is good this may be in its prime anyway much better then the 04. Want to thanks cretemixer for this treat I would have otherwise never had.

Pours with a very thin, oatmeal-colored head of miniscule bubbles that crowd up along the liquid's edge, leaving icicles of lace. Held to the light, the color ranges from a distinguished rosewood at the center of the goblet to iridescent garnet highlights at the edges, with all shades of amethyst and blood and grape in between. Drop dead gorgeous. My first sniffs are of sandalwood, marzipan, malt balls. Warmer, the beer smells like a strange mixture of plums, nutshells, and turkish delight. At room temperature, coriander and herbal cough drops hit my nose with a rummy, medicinal nosefeel... still not bad. The taste, though: bitter, salt-cured plum or pomegranate...? cracked white pepper with equal parts malt balls and pickled ginger...? finally everything obliterated in a wash of soy sauce. Ick. I even tasted a few drops of soy sauce to make sure I wasn't totally off base. But yeah, I was right, and the aftertaste just won't quit. Ick. Filmy water ho hum mouthfeel. And just slightly more drinkable than soy sauce. I mean, what the hell?

Well, I was pleasantly surprised upon tasting this that it's similar to a Belgian Abbaye dubbel.
It pours a slightly hazy (even from a long-standing, refrigerated bottle) chestnut body with a crimson cast. Some softly glowing orange highlights appear at the base of the goblet, and some exceptionally fine bubbles can be seen rising in swirling plumes towards the surface. The head retention is somewhat limited, and it leaves only minor spots and splashes of lace about the glass.
In the nose some sweet, cereal-like malt is accented by dark fruit, a block of just-about-to-melt milk chocolate, and some light spice...
...and that carries over into the flavor. It starts with a drop of chocolate and some lightly juicy and subtly tart dark fruit up-front; but soon warms to reveal a combination of dark vinous fruit (along with their bitter skins) amidst a rising background of soft, sweet chocolate that carries over into the finish. As you progress through the serving some leafy and dull, pine-like hops start to show; and it's spiciness become much more peppery. Surprisingly, however, it hurries off of the palate leaving you refreshed and ready for another sip except for a mild residue of cocoa and a hint of spice and alcohol on the tongue and at the back of the mouth. It's nicely complex... but it shows itself off really quickly! Still, in many ways, that lends to its drinkability.

Some 2 years and 4 months [07.03.05] after I first [03.03.03] sampled this one I fancied cracking one out of my stash to see how it fared out of interest. My original Review had straight 4.0s across the board.
Appearance: Solid carbonation levels are still prevalent, as they were on the offering some 28 months ago. Massive creamy brown head pours with the rather embarrassingly heavy handed pour. Incredible amounts of smattered lacing, this looks great in the glass. The head lasts throughout and shows no signs of disappearing through the drink; gentle tops ups keep it voluminous. The body still retains a lucid chestnut brown body that shimmers with some ruby hints against the setting sun. Can it be that the appearance has actually improved, seems so .4.0 to 4.5.
Nose: The nose has definitely changed, long gone is the freshly mashed bananas aroma, it is now more akin now to soft Banana bread with massive dollops of yeast and a hefty nasal slapping of doughy bread. Im not sure the nose has improved to be honest, but it is no worse than before. Stays at 4.0.
Taste: Wow, from the first taste this immediately reminded me of Lefèbvre Floreffe Meilleur/Prima Melior. It has an Olde Worlde Victorian Sweet (Candy) Shop feel to it. Deep aromatic spices and a hint of Mint Humbugs, it is coming along nicely. It seems that two types of yeast that were used in this and that certainly comes through in the developing aging complexity of this one. The malts are still here, but the finish has a lovely spicy feel, delicate aniseed and mild liquorices hint on the tongue and mix with the soothing alcohol in the swallow. The alcohol has mellowed to a point that it feels medicinal, but it is still there. The fresh cloves have depleted in strength and been replaced with a deep complicated spearmint laced spiced light banana pommel. I like the fact that the complexity has risen whilst the sweet malts have waned 4.0 to 4.5.
Mouthfeel: The deep pile carpet malts are thick and smooth, not as creamy as before but certainly very smooth. Bold and fulfilling. Solid and dependable. Stays at 4.0
Drinkability: The drinkability of this Vertical Epic hasnt diminished at all, whilst the complexity of this one has altered; it is for the better for me. Remains at 4.0.
Overall: The VE03.03.03 is holding rather well, I originally rated this at a straight 4.0, I feel it has improved with age and is slightly better than before, upto 4.3 overall. I still have a few of these babies left and it will be interesting to see how they hold up, I think they are still good for a few more years yet.

Ok, so I've sat on my cache of VE-03's for 2 years now without even trying one. Don't ask me why. Decided tonight was the night to crack one open. I'm glad I did.
Made some marinated tenderloin tips and an asian slaw to go with this. Kick ass meal, I might say.
Nice thick off-white 1/4 inch head which dissapeared into some whispy lace reletively quickly.
Glorious deep murky amber color.
Aromas of bananas, clove, anise and coriander immediately turn my head. There's some brown sugar and musty grain in the background. More cloves and some pepper come out the longer I drink this, but this is very well balanced.
Medium mouthfeel. Nice and soft like cotton caressing your tongue.
Taste is peppery, malty and yeasty. Nice and dry, moreso than I would have though. I sit here and wonder how this was 2 years ago upon conception. Sadly I'll never know.
Finishes dry and peppery with still a hint of lace around the edge of the glass.
Beautifully done Stone. Can't wait to see how this is going to be in 5, 10, or 15 years. That is, if my last 4 bottles make it that long.

An apropos name for a beer of this caliber. Very nice, but comparable to an import Belgium, no way.
Poured with very little head, but presents itself a quite bubbly. Mild lacing is really basic.
Smells nice, apricot and alcohol, with a slight hint of ginger.
Taste is where I am torn. Recently I have been going Belgium beer crazy so 030303 is going uyp against some pretty stiff competition. Tastes great, but is much lighter than other Belgiums. Doesn't have nearly the follow though nor the pungency of other similar types.
Overall a very good beer. Unfortunately for it, I consumed it at the wrong time.

Sampled May 2005
Pours with a frothy thick tan head that sits atop a lightly hazy amber colored beer that has orange highlights. The aroma is fruity with notes of raisins and figs, and over time, the coriander. The coriander is still fairly noticeable in the aroma, though it has tamed down a bit (which in my opinion is a good thing). In the aroma I also get subtle notes of pepper, sherry, and chocolate. The beer is off dry up front, and actually does not have much sweetness throughout. This beer finishes with a note of chocolate and a hint of roasted grains, that I don't remember tasting before. Thank goodness the coriander flavors have mellowed considerably, it has moved to a sort of earthy note that adds a sort of filling richness to this beer. This beer is still holding up pretty well and should last at least a couple more years in my cellar.

Bottle (Drank in May 2005): Poured a dark amber color ale with a medium head with almost no retention. Aroma of light roasted malt, coriander with some bitter hops. Coriander is easily detectable as well as the bitter hops. It seems to lack a bit something to make it truly special. I really do applaud the fact that the brewer tried to come up with something original (i.e. Belgian ale mix with some American ale component) but I dont really appreciate it in this particular case. Also, Im not so sure this is going to help up that well over the years

Pours a deep amber color with a small white-tan head. It settles pretty quickly, but leaves small groups of suds forming and reforming throughout the duration of the drink.
Strong malt aroma. Candyish, blackcherries, something of a savory quality, like tamari soy.
Medium bodied, a bit chewy and FULL of flavor. Rich malt is the centerpiece, but there is a distinct hoppy edge. Lime zest, fresh grapefruit and ripe cherries.
This is yet another highly drinkable offering from Stone Brewing Co. If I may suggest a pairing, dry salame rolled in black peppers, fresh sliced baguettes and cheddar no less than 4 years old.

A huge thanks to warriorsoul for this one. I have had it before and I have one cellared for a tasting of all at the end, so it is a treat to taste it again. It pours a beautiful dark brown color with some amber hues when held to light. The nose is sweet, with tones of brown sugar and a slight belgian spiceyness in there as well. The flavor is pretty nice, with a slightly apparent alcohol. I get some molasses and raisen with a slight spiceyness on the finish. I like it. The feel is moderate to thick with a moderate carb. The alcohol is not apparent. I really dig this brew. I'm interested to see what it is like after a few more years.

Taking a day off today (12OCT09) and having some brews... Save this one for a big-ass vertical in 2012? Screw it! I just felt like having my last bottle of 03.03.03... Is there a better reason?
Still a clear, ruby/garnet, with a thin, tan head. Aroma is dark fruit and dry. No diff for mouthfeel. Dark fruit is here in the flavor, too. It is quite dry now, almost chalky. NBD, overall. Best quaffed way back when. If you're saving it, think twice and drink it now, before it degrades more....
*** ***
Tried another today (02APR05).... Color is actually more of a ruby/garnet as opposed to mahogany.... crystal clear.... creamy tan. finely bubbled head... lacing does stick well...
Fruity aroma...dark fruit, actually. Suggests dryness. Not quite medium bodied... a slight bit of prickliness on the tongue... Bier is indeed dry.... combo of dark fruit with a bit of tropical fruit notes, though mild... slight pepperiness... flavor lingers in the dry finish.... seems like I enjoyed it more 2 years ago... Will try another in a few years or so....
overall: 4
appearance: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | mouthfeel: 3.5 | drinkability: 3.5
*** ***
(Original review of 26APR03): The Epic has hit NH!! Scored a couple of bottles at The Wine Society ($6.99)....one for now, one (hopefully) for a lot later....
The triple-3 pours a dark mahogany color, and has just a slight wisp of cloudiness, though not much. Head is a very-finely bubbled thin layer, a smidge off-white in color. Lacing tries to make it, but can't quite stick.
3-cubed has a spicy, peppery-like nose. The "wheatiness" makes itself evident too. These aromas are in addition to a slight Belgian-like aspect. All-in-all, quite interesting, and pleasant!
Body and mouthfeel are both nice, medium and pleasure inducing! A nice feel in the mouth for this bier....
This one tries to be a bit of a Dubbel, with a little sweetness and fruitiness there, but then it becomes more like a Strong Belgian Pale, with the spicy and peppery characteristics. Finish is a bit dry, with the pepperiness lingering.... the 8.5% abv assists in the belly warming being felt....
Tasty stuff....must check back here in 9 years to see how it holds up, with the rest of the series...if I can!! (4.0/4.0/4.0/4.0/4.0 = 4.0)

Sometimes home remedies don't work or don't work fast enough and you might have to rely on camouflage makeup and concealers.
1. First use a fast-absorbing eye cream. Then use a peach-based corrector to offset the bluish tint using a small brush, apply the corrector to the inner corners of the eyes and then take it under the eyes all the way to the outer corners above the cheekbones.
2. Next, using your fingers apply a thin layer of concealer, two shades lighter than your foundation shade and tap over the area where you applied the corrector.
3. Set the concealer with a dusting of yellow-toned matte powder, which will counteract the dark spots on almost any skin tone according to makeup artist Bobbi Brown. Sweep the powder under the eyes with a small brush.
Shadows can be cast by bone structure, puffy eyelids or from hollows under the eyes caused by the natural process of aging. In these cases, light-diffusing concealers can be used to camouflage the problem.
Be gentle when removing eye makeup. Use a good, unscented eye makeup remover that will dissolve the product so that you will not have to rub the skin too hard and cause further irritation. Read these articles for more tips:

Comments about Digital Treasures® 11.6" PocketPro Deluxe Case for Chromebook/Ultrabook, Green:
I purchased this to put my chromebook in and it does do a nice job of that. Short handle so it's easy to carry. The zipper does seem to pull some on the pocket for the cord so I hope it does hold up. I ordered the green thinking it was a pretty lime green - it's not that pretty but it does seem to work. You might want to look at a different color.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Graham kicked four field goals in Saturday's playoff win over Cincinnati||||||| Graham's longest was 48 yards.
The Houston Texans have signed Graham. The 34-year-old Graham has played for a dozen NFL teams in his career. He played for Cincinnati from 2003-09 and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2005 when he made 28 of 32 field-goal attempts.||||||| Graham played for the New York Giants and then the New England Patriots in 2010, participated in training camps in Washington and Dallas last year before spending two weeks with the Dolphins last November.

Perfectly relaxing in every way
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay at "Into the Mystic." The house is thoughtfully appointed for both kids and adults. When we needed a first aid kit for our kid's bruises, one was available. When we wanted to BBQ we had options for a gas BBQ or a traditional one - and of course all of the needed cooking utensils were easily available. The pool was perfect. Large, clean, and warm - and with a wonderful pool house. We could have spent all day every day poolside! Our stay was incredibly relaxed. The grounds surrounding the house are beautifully landscaped, private, and quiet. Within a few minutes drive is the town of Woodstock, and everything that we could need in terms of groceries and restaurants. We would recommend the house to anyone, but it worked especially well for a family trying to get away from the bustle of the city for a week. Thank you! We really could not have been more happy with our stay and the overall quality of the hospitality we received.
Beautiful house in tranquil setting!!!
This house is GREAT! Even without the a/cs on, it was nice and cool. And the owner is TERRIFIC! We had an issue with the phone and internet and he made sure to come over and fix it immediately...and even brought us a bottle of wine! It was a great place to stay for my husband, two young children, and me!
Great Family Vacation!
We just returned from a week of enjoyment at Spruce Lake Farm. The layout of the home is great for three generation families! There is something for everyone! The kids had a great time playing on the playground, as well as on the hammock, on the water and fishing. The water temperature of the lake water was warm and the water was clear and calm. We enjoyed having s'mores around the fire at night. We also enjoyed the train ride Delaware Ulster Railroad out of Arkville. The trail Delhi EDU was a nice hike, with a labyrinth and butterfly area. We would like to return sometime

I found this video that neatly describes blood types and shows how one can genetically establish ones heritage.
Anyone looking for "the lost book of Enki"??
I found a PDF Of that book HERE
Views: 1008
I read somewhere that they took a poll of people who had seen UFO's and they found that the majority had the rh negative blood, large eyes, thick hair of a light or red color,as well as a tendency toward back problems.
I never really concerned myself with the topic. I learned it on OV since I joined this community and still it does not bother me much, but this guy's explanation is rather spot on.
They sound like a good looking bunch of quasimotos. :)
I'm going to start asking more people about their blood types; see if any correlations start to manifest.
I am A+, blonde hair, blue eyes...and feel QUITE 'attached' to this Earth
That sounds quite healthy.
We came her to be here.
Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water. It is plausable that this is where rh neg. comes from. However any natural breeding afterwards would reintroduce the positive factor. Other traits would have the same results. Sooner or later we would all pick up other abilities connected to that alteration. Here we only spoke of outward manifistations of the physical, and there are psychic abilities that all of us have. As mentioned "junk dna", contains the real genitic codes for our altered evolution. We all have this. I am A positive, and have always been a sensitive. Remember that our spiritual goal is to find our common ground not our differences. Love always to you all.
Well said Motheretfri
Thanks Love. I don't usually have time to make comments. I am glad to see this generate so much discussion. I clearly beleive that there has been seeding with us. Every culture records it. But we still have to just work on the core of our souls, we only inhabit our bodies. I want to personally thank you for your kindness in all your responces and additions to every article that comes up. You are a generous soul. Light and Love always, Etfri
Although I think this is somewhat interesting, it is NOT accurate. The Rh factor of humans
is a genetic "glitch" and does not label you as "extraterrestrial" or "human". It has to do
with your body.... the vehicle you use while living in this 3D world. It has nothing to do with
the fact your Higher Self-your Soul is not "human" at all. My body is Rh positive, but I can
answer yes to all the questions. Do I feel different? Yes. Do I have extra sensory perception?
Yes. Do I feel like I am not a home on this planet? Yes... Don't read too much into this clip.
I don't recall him saying that your higher-self, spirit/soul is alien or something.I also dont assume that he meant so say something like that.
What I understand is that there could be certain "genetic memory" or physical genetic heritage that makes these negatives more sensitive to certain things. Maybe dna strands that are already active "junk dna" that is dormant in most? Thats how I get it.
They are discovering new human species now. The latest were a people in China known as the Red Deer Cave people, so called because of the cave art featuring the red deer. Neantdertals were a human type. Then there are the Hobbit people living isolated on an island until recently. These sub species of humans all lived at the same time and could well have shared their genetic pool with one another.
And then there is the idea of reincarnation which would bring with it race memory. It gets tangled, you know.
One author said that Onegs are the original hunter gatherer. We do not do well on long term vegetarian diets and this is true. I need a certain amount of grain and meat in my diet which is about 90 percent vegetarian. Otherwise I feel fatigued and my energy level, mental and physical, just starts to drop.
Interesting research Nita.
I too have tried near vegan vegetarian diet and it did wonders for me. I found that the "fatigue " I felt when I left meat was due to the body going into withdrawal and detox but when I held out I felt years younger and stronger than my peers.
Unfortunately most people don't wait the detox period out and revert back to meat stopping it short and feeling better as a result causing them to believe they need something from it. It is not clear cut but I believe more people would be vegan if they waited that period out succesfully for about thirty days
