Even before it's released in the U.S. this Friday, "Skyfall," the 23rd official entry in the James Bond series, is already a monster hit, taking nearly quarter of a billion dollars worldwide in its first ten days in theaters. And with good reason -- Sam Mendes' take on Ian Fleming's super-spy is terrific, and certainly ranks among the upper reaches of the franchise.
Not least because of its villain, Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (only the second Academy Award winner to play a bad guy in the series) as Silva, the mysterious, blonde-haired antagonist with more than a few secrets up his sleeve. We're going to be looking at all kinds of aspects of the Bond movies this week as we build up to the release of "Skyfall" on Friday, and what better place to start than with the colorful villains of the series.
Some have been hugely iconic (Jaws springs to mind). Some have been subtle and complex (Mads Mikkelsen in "Casino Royale"). Some were just a bit crap (Mathieu Amalric in "Quantum Of Solace"). But we've picked out five villains (or pairs of villains) that we consider our all-time favorites. Check them out below, and let us know your own favorites in the comments section.
The film that really saw the Bond franchise establish the template that would be used for decades to come, remains one of the best, and in its dual villains are the colorful-but-terrifying archetype that Bardem excels at in the latest film. "From Russia With Love" is positively stuffed with bad guys. Even aside from the first appearance of Blofeld (albeit unnamed, played by the voice of Eric Pohlmann), there's Bulgarian killer Krilencu (Fred Haggerty) and SPECTRE planmaster Kronsteen (the deeply sinister-looking Vladek Sheybal). But best of all are the assassin tag-team of Red Grant and Rosa Klebb. The former is a relatively low-level henchman posed as a fellow British Intelligence colleague, but in the form of future "Jaws" star Robert Shaw, he's one of the few bad guys to be a match for Bond. The actor's charisma could easily have seen him play 007 if Connery hadn't got there first (and if he was a little darker-haired), and he's a nice mirror image to our hero. The brutality of their confrontation on the Orient Express is still celebrated as one of cinema's best fight scenes. More eccentric, but still just as terrifying is Rosa Klebb, played by Austrian actress Lotte Lenya (who was married to composer Kurt Weill, and originated the role of Jenny in his "The Threepenny Opera"). A former Soviet counter-intelligence agent who's since defected to SMERSH, she's given one last chance to off Bond after Grant's death, disguising herself as a maid and using her iconic poison-tipped shoe blade to try and take him out. It ends poorly, but Lette does an enormous amount with relatively little screen time, and there's a reason the character's become a fan favorite over the years.
Blofeld - Various ("From Russia With Love," "You Only Live Twice," "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Never Say Never Again," "For Your Eyes Only")
Although rights complications kept him away from the franchise for years, and Mike Myers' parody as Dr. Evil has likely meant it would be difficult to take the character seriously again, no list like this would be complete without Ernest Stavro Blofeld, 007's (generally) slap-headed, megalomaniacal arch-nemesis, embodied over the years by a number of character actor greats (justified by Ian Fleming's notion of the character as a plastic-surgery-aided master of disguise). Unlike many modern-days villains, Blofeld has little to no backstory: he appears only in abstraction, stroking his trademark white cat, in "From Russia With Love" and "Thunderball," pulling the strings of evil organization SPECTRE from behind the scenes). It's in "You Only Live Twice" that he finally appears, in the bald and scar-faced persona of Donald Pleasance (who stepped in for Czech actor Jan Werich, who was sacked after being deemed too benign-looking for director Lewis Gilbert). It's Pleasance who gives probably the most definitive turn (in part thanks to the 'Austin Powers' parody being based so closely on him), but we're probably even more fond of Telly Savalas' take in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," a more threatening and physical take on the character, and one who performs the most dastardly feat ever in a Bond picture -- killing James' new wife (Diana Rigg). The character makes his final full and official appearance in "Diamonds Are Forever," which suffers from being a little sillier, and Charles Gray is less notable in the part. By the start of the 1980s, the dispute over the rights to "Thunderball" (co-written by Kevin McCrory, who won legal battles that would eventually mean that the official Eon films couldn't use the character or SPECTRE) meant that they decided to give the character a spiteful kiss-off, with John Hollis playing a "bald villain in wheelchair" who's pushed down a chimney by Roger Moore. But he'd yet resurface in unofficial entry "Never Say Never Again," with Max Von Sydow taking up the mantle to reasonably memorable effect.

what are you talking about? Skyfall is the WORST yet, uninspired, full of clichés (and in bond that's saying a lot) horrible script, BArdem is laughable as a villain, he is baaaaad as hell, not in a good sense, plagiarizing all other villains from lecter to jocker and so completely out of place that inspires pity instead of fear. Best bond villain? don't make me laugh. Sam mendes is the worst director ever for bond. Hell is worse than quantum of solace and that says it all.... Terrible, terrible, terrible disappointment for the saga.

Sophie Marceau/Elektra King definitely deserves a place on this list. Goldfinger is a no-brainer, Blofeld is kinda hard to argue (although I found not one of the performances particularly arresting), and I like the "Russia" pick. But then it's Elektra King. One of the most psychologically interesting villains in the entire series, who has a different kind of power over Bond. And the way he deals with her at the end is kind of a big deal.
A Scaramanga is a joke.

The sun was shining Thursday, but roads were still slick west of Rapid City. There were three separate rollover accidents in the Nemo Road area during the morning commute.
A 16-year-old rolled an SUV. Deputies say the driver and his 13-year-old passenger were wearing seatbelts and were unharmed. That accident happened just west of Berry Pines Road.
Further down the road, at Norris Peak Road a truck rolled. There were four people in the vehicle. Lifeflight was dispatched and later canceled. Two of the people in the truck were taken to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The third rollover accident happened on Pine Cliff Road. No one was injured in that crash.

Is Ret Fun?
I've spent far too much time on the official Paladin forums lately, responding to some threads, reading a few others, and I've picked up on an attitude that seems to permeate each Ret post:
"Our rotation is too hard / not fun at all, GG BLIZZ! Change it back to the way it was in Wrath!"
Do we really want this?
Wrath of the Lich King
Here's a quick screenshot of my UI during some heroic Sindragosa work:
What did we have to manage at this time? Well, the Power Aura shining brightly there is for Art of War, which at the time allowed you to cast Exorcism or Flash of Light instantly. Otherwise, there was our one cooldown, Avenging Wrath, to worry about. If you notice, I was specced into Aura Mastery at the time… oh God, the nostalgia is critting me!
So basically, during Wrath, we had one proc to watch for, one cooldown to use, and seven attacks to keep on cooldown in a priority order.
Oh right, two-piece T10 turned Divine Storm into an interesting proc as well, that proc being "When you see DS light up before it's technically off cooldown, MASH THE SHIT OUT OF IT!"
And to counter my Sindy screenshot, here's a Shannox one:
So what do we have to keep an eye on now? Art of War is still on our list of "procs to watch," but now we also have Divine Purpose to look for. We have to keep Inquisition up for as close to the entire duration of the fight as we can, intelligently refreshing while not to sacrificing too much DPS. We need to juggle both Avenging Wrath and Zealotry, though it is recommended to macro them together nowadays (I started doing this a couple weeks ago; I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!) We also have Bananaman (Guardian of Ancient Kings) to pop every five minutes.
Of course we got a whole new resource system to keep track of and utilize effectively, and after a few patches we finally got our AoE DPS groove back.
If you add it all up, that's two procs, three cooldowns, one buff to maintain, a second resource mechanic to manage, and seven attacks.
What is Fun, Really?
Okay, you're probably thinking, Ret has certainly gotten more complicated than before, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily more fun.
I completely agree. "Fun" is a subjective term, of course, but I don't think it's completely disjoined from "complication."
Look at Blizzard's raid encounters over the past couple expansions. For someone who started on a paladin during Wrath-era Naxx, Patchwerk was a pretty boring fight to me. It was a great fight to measure e-peens and chart DPS on, but the fight itself was extremely blah.
Fast forward to Firelands, and the closest analog you will find to Patchwerk is Baleroc. Sure, he stands in one spot the whole time; sure, there isn't any AoE damage or fire to avoid, but his Shards of Torment, healing buff stacking, tank swaps, and level of coordination necessary far surpass that required for Patchwerk.
In essence, Blizzard has made fights more busy, more complicated, in the hopes that the player-base would find them engaging and, hey, fun. I think we can all agree that killing bosses week after week that just stood there and said "Oh, I'm going to kill you in the name of my master!" and did absolutely nothing else would be quite boring.
This design philosophy extends directly to player classes, Ret specifically.
Is the spec harder to play? Definitely.
Is it less fun? That depends:
If you happen to believe that folding laundry, counting change, and watching water pour out of a faucet are the most amazingly fun activities in the world, then maybe the spec isn't for you.
However, if you're the type of person that enjoys learning from his or her mistakes, finds satisfaction through honest effort and hard work, and just generally likes to use that spongy organ we call a "brain," then I think you'll fit right in.

Pneumococcal Vaccination for Cochlear Implant Candidates and Recipients: Updated Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
On July 31, this report was posted on the MMWR website (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr).
In October 2002, CDC recommended that all persons with cochlear implants receive age-appropriate pneumococcal vaccination with 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) (Prevnar®), 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) (Pneumovax®), or both according to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) schedules for persons at high risk (1). CDC issued these recommendations on the basis of preliminary data suggesting an increased risk for pneumococcal meningitis in persons with cochlear implants. Findings of a recent investigation by CDC, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and state health departments support this recommendation. Children aged <6 years with a cochlear implant had a substantially greater risk for having pneumococcal meningitis, compared with children in the general U.S. population of the same age (2). Some children who are candidates for cochlear implants have pre-existing anatomic factors that might contribute to an increased risk for meningitis; however, the recent study was not designed to assess this association (2).
Because the rate for pneumococcal meningitis is higher in children with cochlear implants and Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common pathogen causing bacterial meningitis in cochlear implant recipients of all ages with meningitis of known etiology (2,3), ACIP recommends the following for persons who have or are scheduled to receive a cochlear implant (Table):
Health-care providers should review vaccination records of their patients who are cochlear implant recipients or candidates to ensure that they have received pneumococcal vaccinations based on the age-appropriate schedules for persons at high risk. In addition, all cases of meningitis should be reported to state health departments according to state requirements. Because information about Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes causing pneumococcal meningitis in persons with cochlear implants is limited, providers are encouraged to send isolates to their state health department, which can forward isolates to CDC, where serotyping can be performed to determine whether the type is included in the vaccines.
To send an isolate, contact CDC's National Center for Infectious Diseases, telephone 404-639-2215. Providers also are encouraged to report cases of meningitis in cochlear implant recipients to FDA's MedWatch. Reports can be submitted online at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch; by telephone, 800-332-1088; by fax, 800-332-0178; or by mail, MedWatch, Food and Drug Administration, HF-2, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857.

The Nashville Predators are hosting the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night in Tennessee. In the second game of their first-round best-of-seven series in the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, the Predators hold a 1-0 lead. After one period of play, the Red Wings lead 2-0.
The Red Wings skated with confidence and patience early on and opened up the scoring on just their second shot on goal. Ian White took a shot at 8:25, aided by a moving screen in front of the net. Nashville Pekka Rinne never saw the puck and it flew in for a 1-0 Detroit lead.
At 15:33, the Red Wings added a second goal off a turnover and breakaway, as Cory Emmerton beat two defenders and flipped one in, top-shelf, past the glove hand of Rinne.
It really was a tremendous goal in every aspect, and it gave the Red Wings an important cushion heading into the first intermission.

Bill Fletcher Jr.
During the Palestinian Freedom Rides yesterday, the Institute for Middle East Understanding had a conference call for journalists, and Ismail Khalidi asked Bill Fletcher Jr., a scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, how he reconciled strong American Jewish support for the civil rights movement with the fact that "elements of the Jewish community" today support Israel no matter what it does to Palestinians.
"Well it's a complicated situation. I would first say that we African-Americans certainly appreciated the assistance we received from Jewish Americans," Fletcher said. "And people put their lives on the line, and that can never be taken away from anyone.
"What also has to be said is that Palestinians are being made to pay the price for the Holocaust when they had nothing to do with the Holocaust. And that's the issue that people don't want to put on the table." Fletcher pointed out that the Holocaust, which he characterized as the horrific annihilation of millions, was carried out by a European power…
Fletcher was also eloquent about the occupation, saying the term occupation is not strong enough to describe what he saw last June, and Americans are ignoring it.
"It's a slow moving annexation…. This really is a fight for a people's existence. The Palestinians are being cleansed from the land…. All people of conscience need to grapple with [this]… When this was being done in the Balkans, people were screaming. There were calls for military intervention. But it has been happening since 1947 in Palestine, and yet there's an immense amount, a high degree of silence."
Khalidi asked Fletcher to compare the American engagement against apartheid with the American engagement on the Israeli occupation.
Fletcher: "Let me start with one of the biggest differences. The biggest difference is there was no domestic demographic constituency in the United States that was deeply connected to South African apartheid." There was not a mass of Afrikaaners in the U.S. discourse allying themselves with apartheid.
"That is a tremendous difference."

To be up front with you, I am a Rockies fan (if you don't recognize me already).
My business took me to Casper, Wyoming early this week, which conveniently coincided with the 2010 Opening Series of the Casper Ghosts, the Rockies' Rookie-Level Team. I decided to check it out even though the Ghosts don't have anyone of note on their roster yet. Not a single Ghost truly excited me, but there was one player that had the crowd buzzing the moment he stepped onto the field.
His name was Michael Pericht, and he is the catcher for the Ogden Raptors.
Yesterday, meercatjohn had this to say about Pericht:
Pericht was on the Arizona rookie league team and compiled a very uninspiring .740 OPS in 2009. This is the Raptors clean up hitter in 2010?.
I saw those statistics as well, and I have no idea how he put up such a poor showing. Still, I'm guessing meercatjohn wouldn't have questioned Pericht's batting slot had he seen him play (which is understandable) - or seen the rest of Ogden's roster.
Pericht stands a scary 6'5" with at least a 225lb frame. At 22, he's a man among boys by default in the Pioneer League, but his build sets him apart completely. After two games in Casper, this is his line:
7-for-9, 3 HR, 2 doubles, 7 RBI, 4 R. 1-for-3 nailing basestealers.
Flat out beastly. It wasn't BABIP luck either. His single tonight was a scorched grounder to third that was hit too hard to remain in the webbing of the third baseman's glove. His single last night was a laser to left field. His double tonight was a shot over the center fielder's head, while last night, it was pelted to the right-center field gap.
His home run last night came on an 0-2 breaking pitch below his knees, a golf shot to the deepest part of the ballpark in dead center. He took an outside fastball out down the right field line this evening, then hit the roof of a picnic gazebo well over the left field wall later in the game. Everything was hit hard.
He moved well behind the plate and has a strong arm.
I'm starting to make him sound like the 2011 successor to Russell Martin.
The negatives: he is already 22 and only in the Pioneer League. He is feastly on children almost literally. He already has three throwing errors and a passed ball (though more adept fielders would have saved him two of those errors). And he has a lot of difficulty with breaking pitches. He struck out in the ninth on a pitch in the dirt and looked flat out foolish in the first inning yesterday before lacing a fastball to right center.
If he can't learn to hit a breaking pitch consistently, he can't move fast. But he most certainly is an athletic specimen who can flat out hit. Those hits were legitimate. The last time I saw a minor leaguer create that much buzz in person was at a low-A game, where a fellow hit three home runs. He would surface in the major leagues a year later. You might have heard of Wily Mo Pena.
Anyway, Arizona Fall League aside, Perecht is ill-suited for the Pioneer League. Catchers may blossom late, but if you want to see what he can do, write Ned a letter and request Pericht be promoted as soon as possible. Then maybe my Ghosts stand a chance.

Narrative Description
The Ford Valve Plant was originally located on 4 acres on Northville's Main Street at the northeast corner of Griswold Street just east of Northville historic downtown commercial area. The site is irregular in shape. It is roughly 400 deep and 280 feet wide. The site is flat and is bordered by the Rouge River to the north and east.
Statement of Significance
This Ford Valve Plant exemplifies the desire of Henry Ford to soften the social impact of his manufacturing innovations through the establishment of village industries. The village industries were to decentralize manufacturing and re-integrate it into rural communities. In 1919 Henry Ford purchased the site with its mill and established the first of his village industries. In 1936 he replaced the mill and built the first modern factory for his village industries. Although the village industry experiment was halted in 1947, this plant continued in operation until 1978, longer than any of the other village industry sites. The 1936 building was designed by Albert Kahn, an architect known for his innovative factories and responsible for many of Ford's factories. The building reflected current industrial technology and architectural styles. At the same time it incorporated a water wheel, reflecting Henry Ford's desire to incorporate the factory into his vision of a productive rural community.

+ Saint Martin of Tours
Matthew 25: 31 – 40
On this Feast Day of Saint Martin, the Church has chosen the account of the Last Judgment found in the Gospel of Saint Matthew.
This selection was prompted for a number of reasons. One of them is that the conversion of St. Martin began when he was an officer in the Roman Army stationed in Gaul. He was on night patrol and met a beggar poorly clothed. Martin gave him a portion of his red military cloak.
Later that night, as he lay sleeping in the barracks, Martin heard a noise and upon waking, he saw Christ clothed in the military cloak he had earlier given to the poor man. This prompted Martin to request Baptism. He later was ordained a priest and was appointed bishop of what is now the French city of Tours.
Another reason for the church's selection of this Gospel passage from Mathew is its meditation on the Last Judgment when each of us will be asked by Christ to give an account of himself.
This passage is not meant to frighten us but it is a sobering reminder that each of us is responsible for his actions: those acts we carry out and for those we fail to carry out; those things we say and those we fail to say.
May Saint Martin, through his intercession and good example, help us to be faithful and conscientious members of the Church.

4:58pm Wednesday 26th March 2014 in Sport By Andrew Simpson, Senior Sports Writer
WINNINGTON Park ended the season as leading scorers in the Cheshire Women's League top tier following a final day victory against South Cheshire.
The Northwich outfit bagged 95 goals en route to finishing third in the table, overcoming their opponents on Saturday thanks to first half efforts from Jess Morris – who hit the net twice – and Karen Morgan.
With several regulars unable to featureg, Nikki Brocklehurst, Cathy Hewitson and Maz Rose stepped up from the second string to help seal the win.

As the shutdown showdown continues in Washington, we're learning more about the toll it's taking on people here in Southwest Virginia.
Delaware North Companies, which operates the Peaks of Otter Lodge & Restaurant in Bedford County, confirmed Thursday it's formally laid off the 88 employees who work there.
Because they're a concession of the National Park Service, they cannot operate the lodge while the federal government remains shut down.
A spokesperson for the company says those employees will be eligible for unemployment after one week, but they'll all be rehired as soon as the shutdown is over.
In the meantime, Delaware North Companies continues to work with guests whose stays were interrupted by the shutdown.
In a statement, the company says:
"Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts is working closely with the National Park Service at the locations where we operate as a result of the government shutdown. We hope for a quick resolution to this unfortunate situation. In the meantime, we are working with our guests to make alternative arrangements and will provide a refund to any guest who is not able to change his or her reservation."
Also laid off were 276 employees who work at another operation in Laura.

Customs agents warn people traveling from Mexico into the U.S. with Valentine's Day flowers to be aware that some arrangements won't be allowed through Arizona border crossings.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will not allow Chrysanthemums, gladiolas, orange jasmine and all plants potted in soil to cross the border from Mexico. Roses, carnations, and most other flowers are allowed into the U.S. after they pass inspection, according to a news release.
"We work to protect U.S. agriculture resources from harmful pests, so we thoroughly inspect agriculture products brought across the border," said Tracy Filippi, Agriculture Program Manager, for the Tucson Field Office. "We want travelers to know ahead of time what they can and cannot bring into the country so there are no surprises at the port of entry."
CBP agriculture specialists check that flower imports are insect and disease-free throughout the year, but more so on Valentine's Day.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Jeff Neltner was almost at last year's Boston Marathon until scheduling conflicts kept him out.
Now he's heading back to compete for his third time, this year more determined than ever.
It's an opportunity to us to prove that you know it doesn't stop that type of event," said Neltner.
Last year's bombing incident killed three people and injured of 250.
As a result security measures are heightened.
Neither runners nor spectators will not be allowed to carry bags unless they are clear.
"No bags on the bus whatsoever," said Neltner. "So whatever we wear to the start of the race is going to be disposed and donated to charitable organizations."
Neltner said he doesn't think the extra security will take away from the experience of the event.
"You just adapt," said Neltner. "We are used to adapting and we can adapt to it."
"It's going to be an emotional experience, one I'm sure I'll never forget," said Ansel Wachter.
Wachter will be competing in his first Boston Marathon.
The Peoria Height's native qualified just one month after the bombings.
He Said he wanted to compete in part to honor those affected in the bombing.
"I hope that again we can just show that we can't live in fear," said Wachter. Even though there are people out there that want to cause harm to others and strike fear, we can't succumb to that."
For Wachter four words sum up this years race.
"We wont be defeated," he said. "I think a marathon is a good example of that. It's a very tough challenge and to overcome that in light of those events I think is going to be something truly inspiring and beautiful."

NEWTON, Miss. (AP) - Authorities say a student pilot was killed and his instructor was injured Wednesday when their single-engine plane struck power lines as it was landing at a rural east Mississippi airport.
Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Warren Strain says 57-year-old Rodney Keith Usry of Hickory died, while instructor Tommy Rose of Hickory was airlifted to Jeff Anderson Regional Medical in Meridian. The hospital says Rose is in intensive care.
Usry's body will undergo an autopsy in Jackson.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says the Cessna 172, registered to the Newton Flying Club, crashed about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Newton County Airport.
Strain says the plane crashed upside-down in a lightly wooded area, with the fuselage and wings intact.
The National Transportation Safety Board was sending investigators to the scene.

Every doctor knows that a patient recovering from a quadruple heart bypass is a poor candidate for elective surgery.
That's the status of the housing market these days as tax reform advocates pound the pavement for putting the home mortgage interest deduction on the chopping block. With home prices and sales finally beginning to recover from the worst housing collapse in U.S. history, it would be asking for trouble to start tinkering with what every economist agrees is a major prop for home prices – the deductibility of interest on bank borrowings to buy homes.
"The housing market is still fairly fragile," said Stan Humphries, an economist at Zillow.com. "Removing it altogether would be a shock to the housing market."
"It would be painful for some time," agreed Sam Khatar, deputy chief economist for CoreLogic. "Now is not the best time to do it because the patient is very weak."
Yet there are plenty of reasons why redrawing the nation's biggest housing subsidy program ought to be part of any serious program for reforming the nation's tax code next year.
First, the home mortgage interest deduction flows mostly to the top half of the income distribution –the people who can afford to pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance and maintenance on a home. Households earning over $200,000 a year capture about a third of the $90 billion in tax benefits. Those earning between $100,000 and $200,000 captured another 42 percent of the benefits.
Meanwhile, households earning less than $50,000 a year – that's nearly half of Americans since the median household income in 2011 was just $50,054 – received just 4.3 percent of its benefits or about $4 billion a year. This is the same group that is already taking it on the chin from the current Congress, which has cut direct housing assistance like public housing and subsidized rents by $2.5 billion a year, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
The interplay of the housing market and the progressivity of the tax code skews the mortgage interest deduction's benefits toward the well off. Though 63 percent of American householders own their own homes, most of those who don't are in the lower half of the income distribution.
Among homeowners, wealthier people tend to live in larger homes in more expensive neighborhoods with larger mortgages, which require paying more tax-deductible interest. The median price for existing homes sold in July was $188,100. People who can afford larger mortgages are in higher tax brackets, so not only do they pay more, but each dollar of interest deducted is subsidized to a greater extent than the interest paid by a homeowner in a lower bracket.
For instance, a family in the 15 percent tax bracket that bought the median-priced $188,000 home with 20 percent down at current interest rates would receive about $2,700 off their taxes from deducting their mortgage interest. But a family in the 35 percent tax bracket that purchased a $1 million house with 20 percent down would receive about over $17,000 in tax breaks. Even if that wealthier household took out the same $150,000 mortgage as the median household (perhaps they are older with lots of equity from previous homes rather than being a younger first-time homebuyer), it would receive a $5,250 tax break – more than twice as much.

Washoe County Homicide Detectives are investigating a body found right off of Interstate 80 east of Reno-Sparks around 8:15 Monday morning.
Washoe County deputies have confirmed the body belongs to a man in his 50s. According to deputies, the victim borrowed a truck from a friend and was found dead along the freeway. The truck is no longer in the area. It's said to be a 1998 white GMC Silverado with Nevada license plate 366UNB. If you see the vehicle, please call Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900 or text your tip to 847411 with the keyword "SW."
Washoe County Sheriff's Lieutenant Jerry Baldridge is hoping someone saw something and can help with the investigation. "If anyone who may have been in this general area from 12-midnight to 8 a.m. this morning. If they may have driven by, seen something suspicious," he said they need to hear from you.
The Sheriff's Office is treating it as a suspicious death and the investigation is ongoing. "We're doing a physical evidence search right now at the crime scene. We're looking at several acres. There's some open land in the general area," said Lt. Baldridge.
The Nevada Highway Patrol has closed all the exits to Mustang off of I-80 while authorities investigate. The Sheriff's Office tells us those exits will likely stay closed for most of the day.

Known as the Sunshine State, Florida is America's most southeastern state. Its warm climate and 1,000 km of beaches mean it has long been a popular year-round destination. The wide availability of discount flights to Florida makes the state extremely easy to reach from Canada.
Florida's stunning golden beaches are what convince thousands of Canadians to flock there every week, along with some of the world's most famous themed attractions, including Disney World, Universal Studios, the Kennedy Space Center and SeaWorld. Florida also boasts a range of water parks, Gatorland in Orlando, and the glamorous and glitzy cities of Miami and Tampa.
However, this state also has so much to offer away from its cities, theme parks and beaches. You don't just have to swim in the sea, for example. Florida's biggest lake, Okeechobee, has shallow waters ideal for taking a dip, and gives visitors a good place to experience the beautiful landscape and wildlife of southern Florida.
Art lovers can see the largest collection of Dali artwork outside Europe in St Petersburg's Salvador Dali museum, while anglers can enjoy some of the world's best fishing in Florida. There are more than 2,200 km of hiking trails, and enough reefs, sunken vessels and sea life to keep even the most ambitious diver happy.
In the 1.5 million-acre Everglades National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visitors can travel through swampland or take part in alternative fishing, boating and other ranger-led tours.
Daytona Beach is a family-focused resort, popular for its 23 miles of sun-bleached sand, surfing, museums and stacks of other great attractions, including museums, nightlife and the Daytona Beach International Speedway. The boardwalk and pier offer arcades, shops and other amusements.
Cuisine in Florida has numerous fascinating influences – early Spanish, African, Cuban, Caribbean and southern U.S. cooking among them.
There is so much to see, do and experience in the Sunshine State, and cheap flights to Florida make travel here from Canada a realistic option rather than an impossible dream.
Orlando International Airport is the main entry point for Disney World and the other attractions of central Florida, with free shuttles available for theme park visitors. To visit the southern part of the state, consider flying into Miami International Airport. Tampa International Airport serves the Gulf Coast or Tampa Bay area, and has international flights to Canada. For discount domestic flights, many choose Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood.

GMAT Integrated Reasoning
The Next Generation GMAT is upon us and has been since June 5, 2012. If you're wondering what the GMAT Integrated Reasoning section is all about, then take a peek at the information below.
Old GMAT vs. Next Generation GMAT
The Integrated Reasoning section tests you on your ability to synthesize materials, analyze several facets to form an answer, and solve complex multi-dimensional problems. In other words, you're tested on more "real-world" scenarios – stuff you might actually see in your future workspace.
2013 GMAT Registration Details
GMAT Integrated Reasoning Basics
- 30 minutes
- 12 questions
- 4 new question formats
- Score not used to influence overall GMAT score; a separate score will be outlined on your score report.
- This section is not computer adaptive, so question types will not change based on the way you've answered the questions.
- Testers cannot return to questions to change answers or review once you've switched screens.
GMAT Integrated Reasoning Questions
As I stated before, there are four new question types being introduced by the Next Generation GMAT exam. They are intended to test the skills that were identified in a survey of 740 management faculty worldwide as important for today's graduate students. Think the test-makers got it right? Well, find out below!
- Graphics Interpretation: Interpret the graph or graphical image and choose the most accurate option from a drop-down list.
Example: Viewing a Venn diagram and selecting a ratio of people that does not meet the conditions specified by the diagram.
- Two-Part Analysis: Select one answer from each column to solve a problem with a two-part solution. Possible answers will be presented in a table with a column for each part.
Example: Viewing statistics about a new car and determining the liters of fuel used both when the car drives for an hour and also when it drives 60 km.
- Table Analysis: Sort the table to organize the data so you can determine whether certain conditions are met. Each question will have statements with opposing answers (e.g., yes/no, true/false, inferable/not inferable); select one answer for each statement.
Example: Viewing a table of Brazilian exports and selecting Yes if one of three statements can be shown to be true based on the information in the table, or No if it cannot.
- Multi-Source Reasoning: Click on the page to reveal different data and discern which data you need to answer the question.
Example: Reading a series of three emails and determining if three different inferences could be made from those emails

The Cleveland media is having all kinds of trouble using their sources to figure out who the next coach of the Cleveland Browns will be. Let me help out. So the Browns missed out on Chip Kelly? No worries, there are still two perfect options on the field in Miami wearing headsets, yelling and putting their hands on their hips. If Jimmy Haslam is really looking to instill a new culture in Cleveland, he should go with a winner.
Will it be Alabama's Nick Saban or Notre Dame's Brian Kelly. Let's break it down:
Nick Saban
- Knows all the hot Northeast Ohio spots already
- Will run the football with Trent Richardson
- He isn't Pat Shurmur
- Count tha ringzzzzzz
- Bama fans will be mad
- Saban can't win at the next level pawwwwwlllll
- Old man football
- No time for process when you get fired after two seasons
- Not Chip Kelly
- Bama fans will be mad and when SEC fans are mad they sometimes act irrationally and burn/poison stuff
Brian Kelly
- Last name is Kelly
- Heart is in the Midwest
- Looks like he's from Ohio
- Has God on his side (Tebow to Cleveland? Maybe!)
- The other Kelly
- Will probably draft Manti T'eo and play him at QB
- Purple face might freeze that way in mid-January
- Irish falls behind Polish on Cleveland immigrant rankings
What do you think? Who should be the next coach of the Mistake By The Lake?

By LAURA HALM6 News Reporter
ALCOA (WATE) - Time is money, so how much are you willing to spend to cut the wait in airport security lines?
McGhee Tyson Airport officials announced Thursday the airport is one of 60 airports launching a new program geared toward frequent flyers to speed up the screening process.For $85 you can cut some hassles out of the security screening process. You can sign up online, but U.S. citizens then need to go to an enrollment center to verify their identity and provide fingerprints.Martha Howell's commute is a little unique, she takes a plane to get to work. She trains nurses across the country."I'm at the airport a lot. Travel is not glamorous," she said.One of the biggest challenges Howell says she encounters is going through security.
"Because you have to think about how you pack so that you can get all that stuff out and then replace it," added Howell.But there's good news for frequent flyers like Howell who hate long lines. McGhee Tyson Airport is launching the TSA Pre-check program by the end of this year.Those who sign up will go through a designated lane, leaving on their shoes, their laptops can stay in a bag, and approved liquids can stay in carry-on luggage."It would be great to just go straight through and take your bags and not have to unpack everything," said Howell.As a safety precaution TSA can't go into specifics about the screening."The program itself is being tested in major metropolitan areas already and they have found that it is a secure process for TSA," said airport spokesperson Becky Huckaby.Huckaby says most days it takes just 10 minutes to get through security, but that time doubles during peak hours."Even if you're not a member of pre-check there are people who are going to be moving through more quickly, which means our lines are going to move more quickly," added Huckaby.For those who travel three to four times a year, having a faster security screening procedure is a first-class idea."Every minute counts when you're traveling and the less hassle you have the better you like it," said traveler Ted Young.Not all airlines participate in this program. The ones at McGhee Tyson include: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and US Airways.If you would like more information on the program you can visit the link here.

A man managed to chase off potential burglars by firing at them early Tuesday morning.
Atlanta Police Captain Adam Lee III said investigators are searching for up to three men who descended on the Blair Villa Drive home just after 2 a.m.
The homeowner told police he noticed someone shining a flashlight into a window on one side of the house and then saw a motion activated light come on in the back.
The man went and retrieved a his handgun and fired it at what he said was a third burglar at a window in the front of the house, Lee said.
Seven shots were fired at the wall and window, but police do not believe anyone was shot.
The resident told police the man he shot at had a knife and was using it to try and pry open the window.
The burglars fled the scene. Police have not released any information on possible descriptions.
Lee said a second burglary in the area at approximately the same time could be related.

Palacinke (Sweet Crepes with Chocolate-Walnut Filling)
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup club soda
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange peel
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- Vegetable oil
- 6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, divided
- Sweetened whipped cream
- Confectioners sugar
DirectionsMake crepes::
1. In a large bowl whisk eggs. Add milk, club soda, sugar, rum, vanilla, and salt, blending until sugar dissolves. Gradually sift in flour to form a batter. Add olive oil. Stir in orange and lemon peels.
2. In a 6- to 7-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, pouring off the excess. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into pan, tilting it to distribute batter as evenly as possible. Return pan to heat, reduce heat to medium and cook crepe until lightly browned, 30 to 40 seconds. Carefully flip crepe with a spatula and cook the second side until brown spots appear, about 30 seconds more. Transfer crepe to a warmed platter. Repeat with remaining batter, re-oiling the pan only as necessary. Stack the finished crepes and keep warm under a mixing bowl.Make chocolate-walnut filling::
3. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot (not boiling) water. Stir chocolate to melt evenly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of walnuts.
4. Spread a generous tablespoon of the chocolate mixture over half of a crepe. Fold the other half over the chocolate, then fold crepe in half again to form a triangle. Repeat.
5. To serve, arrange four crepes on each plate. Dollop with whipped cream and sprinkle with remaining walnuts and confectioners sugar. Serve immediately. Makes 9 servings.

Welcome back to another installment of organizational droughts, in which we search for the last homegrown players for all 30 teams to star at a specific position. "Homegrown" is defined as a player who had never played for another organization before his big season. "Star" is defined as a player who has a season worth four or more wins above replacement according to Baseball Reference. "Odd" is defined as 23 teams passing on Mike Trout in the 2009 draft. But that last one isn't going to come up because we're talking about shortstops, stupid.
Here's the thing about WAR and shortstops: It makes everyone scouts from 1968, drooling over the next Mark Belanger. Defense used to be important for shortstops. Then came the statistical revolution, and it was more important in some circles for shortstops to hit. Turns out that defense really is important for shortstops! Huh. And a player can be extremely valuable even when he doesn't hit a lot. As such, you'll see some odd names pop up on any list of four-win shortstops. Jack Wilson! Adam Everett! Khalil Greene! If a hitter can get to more ground balls than the average shortstop and hit a little bit, he's probably helping a team win quite a bit.
Here are the last homegrown star shortstops for every team, a list in which "star" is very much debatable:
Still with the team
Phillies - Jimmy Rollins (5.4 wins above replacement in 2008)
Yankees - Derek Jeter (6.6, 2009)
White Sox - Alexei Ramirez (5.5, 2010)
Rockies - Troy Tulowitzki (6.2, 2011)
Angels - Erick Aybar (4.3, 2012)
It's not just a happy coincidence that all of these players have been with the same team for their entire careers, and all of them have been given the long-term-contract treatment at one point. When a team finds that homegrown shortstop, they hold onto him like a supermodel that you found on Match.com who makes six figures and tells a mean Von Hayes joke. You will set apartment buildings on fire if that's the only way to keep other suitors away.
The only surprise here for some of you might be Alexei Ramirez, who has never had a season that was super-dominant on the surface. But he consistently grades out as one of the better fielders in baseball, and apart from last year, usually mixes juuuust enough OBP with his power. His power is down this year, but the average is back to normal. If he has another typical Alexei Ramirez year, that's a pretty big deal for the White Sox.
Recent past
Red Sox - Nomar Garciaparra (6.1, 2003)
Indians - Jhonny Peralta (5.1, 2005)
Royals - Mike Aviles (4.7, 2008)
Brewers - J.J. Hardy (4.8, 2008)
Braves - Yunel Escobar (4.2, 2009)
Cardinals - Brendan Ryan (4.5, 2009)
Athletics - Cliff Pennington (4.4, 2010)
Diamondbacks - Stephen Drew (4.0, 2010)
Mets - Jose Reyes (4.7, 2011)
Here's where you get into the meat of the defense-vs.-offense debate, with Cliff Pennington and Brendan Ryan. Ryan's 4.5-win season, though, had less to do with him fielding like a mustachioed Ozzie Smith, and more with him hitting pretty well -- .292/.340/.400 in that standout year.
Then he got to the Mariners, whose clubhouse has two plates of Oreos at all times: one a plate of regular Oreos, and another of Enchanted Oreos of Shitty Hitting. The latter one is marked with a little sign, but the words are in six-point font. Whenever a clubhouse guy mentions that they should make the font bigger, the response is always, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know." A more important point might be that there's no reason to have that plate of enchanted Oreos in the first place, but I'm just a blogger.
Also, Ryan was pretty bad in the season before he got to the Mariners. But, still.
The most surprising name on any of these lists might be Mike Aviles, who basically had the standard Bert Campaneris season as a 27-year-old rookie, then never came too close to it again.
Not-so-recent past
Blue Jays - Tony Fernandez (4.5, 1990)
Tigers - Alan Trammell (4.2, 1993)
Orioles - Cal Ripken (4.0, 1994)
Reds - Barry Larkin (5.1, 1999)
Mariners - Alex Rodriguez (10.3, 2000)
This list … it's like the first page in my baseball card binder when I was 12. And Alex Rodriguez. When it comes to developing great shortstops, apparently, teams like to drop the mic and walk away from the whole sordid business of developing great shortstops. This list has four of the top 10 shortstops ever, according to WAR, and Tony Fernandez is no slouch at #25.
This means that the Yankees will go 20 years between Derek Jeter and the next really good homegrown shortstop. Of course, they'll also get five-win production from Brandon Wood on a minor-league deal, too, so they won't be missing out.
Rodriguez was 24 for that 10-win season, by the way. Another reminder that Mike Trout previously existed, and he was a shortstop. Man alive, did that legacy get screwed up along the way.
Last note: In between Trammell seasons, the Tigers also had two great seasons at short from Travis Fryman, who was much better than you might remember.
Distant past
Twins - Zoilo Versalles (7.2, 1965)
Pirates - Gene Alley (5.3, 1968)
Cubs - Don Kessinger (4.0, 1969)
Rangers - Ed Brinkman (4.4, 1970)
Giants - Chris Speier (4.2, 1975)
Padres - Ozzie Smith (5.0, 1980)
Dodgers - Bill Russell (4.9, 1982)
It's hard to look at a list of MVPs in major-league history without stopping to notice Zoilo Versalles. He's out of place, and when you note that he hit .273/.318/.462, you might figure the writers made some sort of good-clubhouse-guy mistake. Don't. Versalles led the league in doubles, triples, and total bases, and he was second in WAR only to Sam McDowell, a pitcher. And Versalles did it all while playing an outstanding shortstop.
It's weird. The Mike Trout supporters and the Versalles supporters would have had a lot to agree with, yet the former group kept getting portrayed as new-school dorks. We were just retro, man. Defense and doubles, everyone. Defense and doubles.
Ozzie made an All-Star team with Padres, which is kind of odd to think about. He did it with a .259/.328/.276 first half, but then he slumped to .183/.257/.234 in the second half. He was 26, so it wasn't like he was going to get better, right? Right? If it makes the Padres feel better, the other NL West teams have had similar problems drafting and developing shortstops.
Don Kessinger won what looks like a well-deserved Gold Glove in that '69 season with the Cubs, but he was a career .252/.314/.312 hitter. For a shortstop in the '60s, that was good enough to be a six-time All-Star.
If you're wondering about Michael Young with the Rangers, he just missed the cutoff. Turns out that his defense hurt him a little when it came to assessing his value. Wait, no, hear me out. In 2005, Young set career marks in homers, hits, on-base percentage, and batting average, but he also recorded the second-worst defensive season in shortstop history, at least according to fielding runs.
I just wish there were somewhere on the Internet where we could discuss Michael Young's defensive contributions. I've kept this bottled up so long.
Edit: Also, Michael Young was drafted by the Blue Jays. Which I've written about before. It'd be a lot easier to keep track of this stuff if there were, like, four teams.
Wil Cordero was supposed to be the next Cal Ripken, but he fielded short like Eddie Murray, so he just missed. Hubie Brooks was a Mets product, so he doesn't count, and Orlando Cabrera came oh-so-close to the cutoff, but never quite made it. So the Expos/Nationals are still waiting for Ian Desmond to have a career year.
Dickie Thon came over in a trade for Ken Forsch, in case you were wondering about the Astros, but more importantly, they don't have a history of shortstops at all, homegrown or otherwise. Denis Menke is an 8-win player if you're talking about limericks, though.
The Rays and Marlins are recent expansion teams, so they're not exactly surprises. I originally had Hanley Ramirez on the Marlins here, but I forgot that he was a Red Sox prospect. Came over to the Marlins in a minor deal, or something. Edgar Renteria came close, but he didn't blossom into a star until he was with the Cardinals, according to WAR.
While the Astros and Expos haven't exactly been around since the turn of the 20th century, they've been around long enough to lose this round of organizational droughts handily.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A federal law, requiring specific drain covers on public pools goes into effect Friday. The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act was signed into law last December.
Public pools had one year to comply with the rule which requires special equipment to prevent children from getting stuck underwater by the vacuum of a pool drain. Virginia was the granddaughter of former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker. She drowned in 2002 after getting trapped at the bottom of a pool by the suction of the drain.
Environmental Health Director Dewayne Tanner said, "It's a suction hazard. There's many deaths throughout the country because of that in pools in spas."
Lee Mullins said, "It's a great idea." Why? "It saves lives. You can actually become disemboweled. I've seen many drains with the main cover missing."
The law, which takes effect Friday, includes all public pools, including those at hotels, apartment complexes and country clubs. If pools are closed for the season, they must be in compliance on the day they re-open.

Item: Dealing with Avalanche Problems in Helicopter Skiing
Title: Dealing with Avalanche Problems in Helicopter Skiing
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1976 International Snow Science Workshop, Banff, Alberta
- H. Gmoser
Date: 1976
Abstract: After having guided and conducted high mountain alpine ski tours for 12 consecutive seasons, I recognized one overriding difference when I seriously got involved in helicopter skiing in 1965: The exposure to avalanches is considerably greater in helicopter-skiing than in ski touring. Table I summarizes the key reasons for this difference. In planning our ski-tours, it was important to consider the avalanche hazard, but it was nonetheless always possible to choose a tour on any given day where this hazard was minimal. In fact, on most days, in most areas, you could always guide two trips and seldom feel that the risk was critical. The groups were small, you had altogether 12-15 skiers; their expectations were very reasonable and, hence, they were easy to control if conditions did get marginal. Further, on the climb or approach, you had sufficient time for observation. The climbs up the mountain took anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. With each push of the ski forward into the unbroken snow, with each plant of the pole, you got a message, and you had time to digest it. You could look around in all directions, you could listen, you could feel the temperature and the wind. Although all these impressions were measured by feel, rather than by instruments, they did give you tangible information because you carried these observations out every day, season after season.

Now rebranded as Skye Black. Half pint at 'spoons in Greenock.
A light, peaty coloured beer with a thick offwhite head. It has a roasted malt nose with a bot of wood smoke and a slight but rather unfortunate hint of antiseptic. This has a sweet start and is lightly smoky with the influence of oats apparent in a creamy finish.

A: From afar, the beer is close to black in appearance, yet when held up to a bright light the beer is clear dark garnet red in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that quickly died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of dark malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell, but the dark malt flavors are stronger and there are also notes of chocolate malts and hints of nutty malts.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little thin on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: To me, this beer tastes a lot more like a lighter version of an English Stout compared to a Scottish Ale. The low alcohol content definitely makes this very drinkable.

500 mL bottle with freshness date. Poured a thick dark brown blackish colour and a nice cap of creamy tan head, good retention and lacing. Nice retention of whispy film cap. 4
S – dark roast chocolate malt, roasted coffee, thick waves of roast notes with some fruits as well, apple, nuttiness. Dark cherry and pomegranate, balance is excellent and inviting. 4.25
T – mild dark chocolate, smooth coffee, thin caramel, nuttiness and some wafer-like malt. Bitterness is mild, finishes dry with some residual coffee chocolatey flavor. Some dried fruity character, peanuts, trace of vanilla, honey and sweet molasses a little on the beginning, rounded and quite complex. 3.75
M – very smooth and creamy, light carbonation and a pleasant smooth malty body, just a tickle of bitterness on the finish to draw it up. Works fairly well I would say, easy drinking and rather tasty. 4
O – very nice, enjoyable ale, lot of flavor and it works together, a bit of a thin light body for my taste but still a nice beer that was quite enjoyable. Smooth and tasty. 4

strong mineral smell with an array of light caramel malts with a bit of chocolate
Pretty dark with burgundy/ruby highlights.
mineral taste that is very dry with bitter chocolate. slightly vinous with a light roast
I was hoping it would be a tad sweeter like a scotch ale tends to be but I think the honey just totally dries it out to much and doesn't leave enough of a mouthfeel

A three inch, dense foam is light coffee colored over a clear, dark, ruby-to-brown ale. The lace forms a fine coating as the head ever-so-slowly drops to seafoam.
The aroma is that of coffee and cream with some alcohol and oats.
Malty with sweet notes in a Roosterfish pint glass. The finish is long and sweet with some notes of cherry.
Fair carbonation, light body and fine texture.
An easy, quick-drinking beer for a session with friends.

A - Deep, dark ebony body with a thick white lustrous head.
S - Roasted barley, a little coffee on the nose.
T - Toasty, warm malt with roasted coffee undercut with a citrus streak, and a gentle prod of bitterness.
M - Smooth, creamy feel, very nice.
O - Quality beer.

Dark brown color where a bit of light passes. Off white head which leaves nice ring lace.
Very mild aroma -- no burnt smells. In fact, it smells mostly creamy.
I would categorize this as a hoppy brown ale. There are darker malt flavors but no burnt sugars. The body is thinner like a brown ale as well. (The server thought this was a stout). Decent hop presence.

Pours a dark brown with an off white short lived head.
Nose is light toffee/light vanilla roasted grain that then quickly falls off to almost nothing.
Mouthfeel is thin and watery and with no balance and no real character.
Flavors are citric bitter like a lemon infused black coffee that goes to a bitter burnt ash.
Finish is bitter burnt carbon. There is almost something uniquely appealing after a few sips, a "bright burned character" but it just doesn't quite make it there. Tastes like someone just "left it in the oven too long."

I had great anticipation for this beer yet it turned out quite boring. Poured a 2" head. Very dark raw umber in color. Very little smell, even after warmed up, mild coffee at most. Flavor as well was pretty simple and subdued - some mild coffee, a little sour rye, a little acidity. Body was quite lightweight. Surprisingly timid and disappointing considering where where it's from and how dark the brew is.

4th Beer in a random British Tasting Evening on 8th Jan 2011.
The 500ml brown bottle was poured into an 'Abbot Ale' glass tankard.
Dark red, ruby, ruby, ruby red! The off white head fell away to a collar and wispy covering too fast, sadly.
Roasted Barley aroma, couldn't find Heather Honey or Oats in the smell, both are mentioned on the label as being in the brew. It smells sweeter than it tastes.
Mellow malty flavours flow through the mouth and this easy to drink beer covers a host of styles, toying with Stout, Porters and Winter Warmers with a Scottish dark bitter/ale feel.
Smooth and rich, a fine beer.
Different and very drinkable.

On cask at the Belfast Beer Festival.
Pours oxblood black with a thin bubbly film. Black strap molasses, raisin, brown sugar and barrel on the nose. Sour prune and sultana malts with tart berry, then kola, branch and clove oil hops. Tight dry finish, old ale linger with a bit too much leaf. Oily, medium, some chew.
Defies style: one beer site has it as Scottish Ale, the other says Porter, the bottle label says "dark Scottish ale" and the Festival guide says Strong Dark Mild.
As a mild, boozier, less fruity and drier than others. Nice feel and hops, but not crazy about the aftertaste.

3.83/5 rDev +1.1%
Pours a very dark brown with tinges of red, a slightly off-white head that lasts quite a while, elaving a little runny lacing.
Smells a bit like the Red Cuillin from the same brewery, a sort of strawberry-fudge that has a sweet thing to it. Complemented here with some carramellized malt, and some additional fruits, raisins and a little plum.
Taste is also of the same strawberry fudge, but not as prominent as in the nose. There are also a hint of vegetables, a little honey and caramel. Very slight sweetness and a little bitterness, could maybe have used some more bitterness, little to no hop flavour in this one.
Light mouthfeel, almost a bit creamy, but just almost, with a luxurious carbonation with small soft bubbles, refreshing.

Bottle-Deep, deep brown lets in some light, leaving ruby hues at the rim. Nice stable off white heading in this one. Roasty, coffee bean, cocoa and dark chocolate nose leads into a bitter, roasty, fruit flavour profile with dark chocolate and coffee. Nice and creamy bitter roasty finish. I liked this one.
