The deadline is fast looming and every indication from the front office is that the Braves are going to play a part in it. Now what that part might be has yet to be determined, but I have a feeling we will find out very soon. Based on the critical mass of coverage we have seen recently I think a deal is coming soon
Here are a few sources:
http://atlanta.sbnation.com/atlanta-braves/2011/7/20/2285438/atlanta-braves-trade-rumors-braves-closing-in-on-deal (by our own esteemed Scott Coleman)
And the many tweets hinting at someone as high profile as Hunter Pence seem to indicate a looming deal.
So here is a place to discuss it without inundating other threads with new developments. Post any new developments or tweet or whatever you feel to be relevant and let's hope that the Braves are big winners in the trade market before the day is through.

Fair's music lineup heavy on hits
How strong is this year's Arizona State Fair concert lineup? Strong enough that it was tough to pare the list to just six recommended shows. But here they are, from country singer Billy Currington to one of the most important players in the alternative-music revolution of the '90s, Jane's Addiction. (Also on the State Fair bill are the Mavericks, Prince Royce, Karmin, Jarrod Niemann with Jana Kramer and Korn.)

Strange Sensation starting to fall asleep
View Single Post

I've had the same sensation as well and tried to explain it to people, who thought I was insane for experiencing such a thing.
As said by several people in this thread, it starts when you're about to fall asleep, you feel like an enormous density that is being shrunk to a point in space and at the same time you feel like you are getting larger. It is like a disconnection of your body and brain.
It is not paralysis, since I am able to move during the experience, although that will disrupt the sensation (so I usually try to lay still to prolong the experience, it's so weird and beautiful at the same time).
I don't think it is a dream, since I'm conscious of where I am and that I can move. I can be in the sensation, feel completely detached. At some point the only thing that is left is the sensation of deep breathing, everything else will be gone (like the Never Ending story, where the Imagination world has disappeared into nothing and only the consciousness of the boy is left). When you reach that point it is somewhat unnerving, so to check that I am still there I move an arm and start becoming aware of my body after which the sensation slowly disappears.
I also don't think it has anything to do with migraines, although the brain areas that are affected may be the same.
I think it is an experience that you are are conscious of the first phase of sleep, when you'd normally be unconscious. It must have something to do with the deep relaxation of your body, the shutting down of parts of your brain in preparation for sleep.

22oz draught at the brewpub.
Appearance: Deep reddish amber, clear, nice lace.
Aroma: Malty sweet without too much sweetness.
Taste: A decent Vienna lager, with lots of rich malt flavour with just the right amount of rich sweetness, balanced out nicely with a spicy hop bite. Unfortunately, there is some generic nuttiness that also comes through and is not a favourite attribute of mine. Nevertheless, tasty.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, crisp, moreish.
Drinkability: Well worth trying. Nice to have a nice big beer at a modest abv.

Wasn't expecting much from a 1.50 beer at a Casino's house brewpub. But, hey, it's actually pretty well done.
Smelled and tasted a lot more like a regular ol' American red than a Vienna. Big medium, all around. Malts were like biscuits and potting soil, and the hops were more bitter than spicy with some very light nodes of fruit.
This would be a completely unexceptional beer were it not for its price and location, which made it a lifesaver. (Seriously a literal lifesaver; if I don't have good beer, I die).

Consumed on 1/4/10 at Main Street Station, Vegas
A - Slightly cloudy amber-range color. Good lacing. No fiz.
S - Mildly sweet but this damn dessert air makes it too dry to pick out subtle notes. I'm not finding anything interesting here.
T - Sweet malt, syrup, dry and crisp. Hoppy outer tones.
M - Smooth drinkable with a hop bite.
D - Ok, needs a lot more in the aroma department

3.1/5 rDev -12.2%
Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Roasted malt and mild hops aroma. Medium, smooth body with sweet toasted malt, caramel and hops flavors. The finish is sweet malt with a lingering caramel aftertaste. Pretty average overall.

Pours a reddish brown/copper color. Small head, no lace.
Very little smell, most of it hops.
Taste is hops and some malt. Balance of the two is good but nothing else on the plate here.
Medium body, medium effervescence, good aftertaste where the malt comes out after the hop start. Nothing to write home about.

Consumed 05/09/08 at the brewery.
Clear brass/copper beer. Thin skin of white foam for a head.
Couldn't detect any aroma.
On the palate: slight citric sourness up front. Texture is a little oily. The house flavor for malt at 777 seems to be caramel, as it was present in most of the beers (including this one). I didn't pick up any hop flavors.
Not particularly tasty.

3.53/5 rDev 0%
A nice beer, even for the non-beer lovers in our group who visited the brewery. Opens with a deep amber color with some golden and brown ribbons mixed in. Nice head formaiton, retention and lacing, with a egg-shell foamstand. Aromas are nearly all malt, showing rich bread flavors, caramel, toffee, nuts, and toastiness. A slight hint of citrus hops struggle for attention. Flavors are very similar with emphasis on malt sweetness, mirroring the caramel and toffee. Hop flavors are slight and do little to balance the sweetness. The body is light, which helps the sweetness, allowing the hops to settle in the end. Perhaps the only beer that Triple 7 offers that wasn't balanced to my preferences.

3.65/5 rDev +3.4%
Poured a light red/pink color. Small white head with good lacing. Minimal carbonation seen rising.
Aroma is quite light, with some light hops and malts.
Taste is dominated by hops with a light malt backbone.
Mouthfeel is smooth, medium bodied and cleansing. Quite nice in the mouth.
Overall, a very drinkable brew. Good session beer.

3.23/5 rDev -8.5%
Appearance: Golden red color with a thin tan head.
Smell: Strong, sweet, malty aroma dancing in the nostrils.
Taste: Rich, thick malt backbone to this beer. It is fruity with candy-like sugar sweetness and a sweet, dry ending.
Mouthfeel: Clean, medium bodied and a bit sticky.
Drinkability: This is a good beer but it lacks any distinct character or bite. A good grain bill gives it a great maltiness, but otherwise its nothing special.

3.8/5 rDev +7.6%
Copper in color, a thin 1/2 " head, light lacing. As with the Bohemina Pils and Gold, the aroma is tough to pull out as some malt is the only item I can pick up. The flavor had decent malt and bitterness levels along with a mild nuttiness.
Mouthfeel was between smooth and crisp, and had a relatively clean finish. This was nicely drinkable, as this was on the lighter side of a medium bodied brew and had a good overall flavor.

3.73/5 rDev +5.7%
Presentation: Sampled at the Main Street Casino, Brewery and Hotel during a recent Sunday Afternoon visit to Las Vegas. Dispensed from one of the 4 Taps at the Main Bar that overlooks the Slot Machines Floor and served in a straight sided Pint Glass. Cost less than $2 for a Pint.
Appearance: The amber red colored body is easily visible as this Lager is poured. The head was lively when poured but it soon settled quickly to a thin off-white covering. It either looked over-lively or a little under-conditioned at times.
Nose: Definitely fresh, and the malts come through, but the nose is a little reticent to appear at times.
Taste: The initial kick to the beer is of hops, and it stays through to the middle of the beer when lightly toasted malts take the relay baton and begin to balance the hops. The finish has a lovely crisp malt finish. Short ending that does not last too long.
Mouthfeel: The high carbonation I encountered in the first mouthful was prickly and over-stayed its welcome. Once the Red settled it was then fine and the carbonation aided the crisp feel in the mouth. Malts at the back end are welcome but are all too short lived.
Drinkability: Its a clean tasting beer with a lovely hops first - malt later bias that I enjoy. Crisp, slick lines that sometimes are upended by the wavering carbonation levels but thats a minor beef really. The alcohol level of 4.5% is just right, and will also help those at the Slots keep a level head no doubt.
Overall: I enjoyed the Red, much more than the Gold, but not as much as the Pale Ale or Porter. The taste profile of hops then malts and the reasonably clean drinking make this an above average offering well worth trying.

This lager pours a nice amber color with white foam that settles to leave a thin white head. The smell is clean and sparkling with modest malt. The taste is hoppy with some malt sweetness to balance. The mouthfeel has lively carbonation, and is initially dominated by hops, but malt dominates the finish. The drinkability is good. This is a good beer for its style.

HDMI and Component/HDTV not support captioning?
Sorry if this is a repost. I have seen a few threads about DirecTV issues and HD broadcast issues and I discovered some hardware issues and closed captioning.
I just recently purchased a Samsung 50" 1080i DLP HDTV and was shocked to find out that the CC does not work via HDMI or Component connections (options on the TV are grayed out for CC using those connections).
I purchased an upconvert DVD player, hooked it up via HDMI and sure enough, no CC. Then I tried the crappy old composite (Y-R-W) cables and the captions work, but the picture is of course horrendous.
Apparently it seems that HDMI and Component video were never meant, or even made to transmit closed caption data. With all of the legal work that has been going on with pushing CC to be required, it seems technology has failed us again.
I also called my local cable provider (Time Warner Cable) inquiring about an HD package and their HD tuners use either component or HDMI hook ups... and they said their HD tuners to not have caption decoders!?
Ridiculous. So now, I'm not sure what the next step would be to enjoy anything in HD

How about report to FCC or other companies that need to address your issue.

I believe that the tuner's are currently "supposed" to decode the CC, actually adding the caption to the video data
It just surprises me that the HD televisions cannot decode CC via an HDMI or component hook-up, all processing must be done by the source. Which brings me back to DVDs, some do not have subtitles, only CC, which still leaves no way to view a DVD in high-def with CC... at least not that I have discovered. I'll try the component hook-up with my upconvert DVD player tonight, but I suspect it still will not pass the CC, only subtitles (if available).

I have a 36" Sony XBR CRT TV and I use the componant connection from my AV tuner and the HD Motorolla cable box 720 or 1080. No problems with selecting CC from my TV menu of the CD menu. No CC option on the box though...

I have a 32" LCD HDTV, closed caption doesn't display thru component, but works fine with composite via the VCR for analog cable. I tried playing a DVD that has CC support and it doesn't work on the PS2 or my Panasonic DVD player. They both use component cables and are run thru the splitter. I guess I have the similar issue that you have.

I was suprised like everyone here was. I checked the box as it had the bold CC, asked the salesman and he said it had it. At first I was really happy as I was watching HD cable & the captions were working. But when I tried DVD, I usually put the subtitles on as I assumed there was no CC. But with my xbox 360 & its upconverting I tried to use that, but it failed. I looked into it some more and it seems like component is not supported, nor VGA. From reading your post, it seems like it might not be the manufactor, but some kind of regulating body that oversees the requirement (i.e, HDMI rules, or some HD type rule). My TV: a samsung LCD.
I brought a HD-DVD, and it seems like every movie is at least subtitled, so I guess they're trying to go that route. The only problem is, what do we do with the older movies that has CC but no subtitles?

I got an HR20 in October and told them closed captioning was TERRIBLE. The DirecTV engineers monitor DBSTalk.com so I knew they were reading my complaints. After a few months of seeing the receiver get software updates for many bugs NOT related to closed captioning, I complained loudly and they heard me, asking me to give them a little more time. I decided to give them a month more, and within 2 weeks they had made major captioning changes.
After a few more weeks, they listened to our further complaints and made more fixes. Every time they fixed something, I and others got more and more detailed about the little things that needed to be tweaked (I supplied many pictures so they could SEE the problems of which I wrote), and they kept coming back with changes to make it perfect. It's not often a company listens that closely to their users (especially a minority of the user base that uses closed captioning). Spread the word about them--people should know!
I'm not sure if you can see these, but here are some of the threads on the DBSTalk.com forums that transcribe the journey:

I get 18 digital tv stations here. I do not pay for cable or satellite. They very very very rarely have closed captioning operating on the digital TV stations. My guess is that the FCC is not requiring it of the digital stations (ATSC) until the NTSC cutoff date in less than 2 years. I can scan through the 18 channels with CC on and almost never see it operating. So that is likely to be your problem.
If I am watching "Law and Order" in HD there is no closed captioning, but then I can switch over to the analogue TV station and watch the same "tv station" and the closed captioning is working. So presently the situation is that there just is not much closed captioning going on on ATSC stations. Even PBS, which is usually pretty advanced when it comes to features that benefit the public (I worked at PBS AM/FM & TV stations in the 70's) has never had closed captioning operating on any of the 3 public stations I get here (42, 17 and 2).
When you see the words "HD ready" or "HD compatible" that means the "tv" is nothing more than a display unit with connectors to hook up an ATSC tuner. It probably has a NTSC (the old standard) tuner built in.
HDMI input to your "hd television" is only using your television as a display. Nothing more or less. It does not decode anything at all. So if you want to see closed captioning when using the HDMI input, whatever you are watching MUST do the decoding. Think of it as being a very expensive computer display.
Depending what "component video" input you are using, with what model TV, it is the same situation as the HDMI connector. The tv is doing nothing more than being a display.
A few weeks ago was the deadline where importers had to stop importing "high def tv's" that did NOT have an ATSC tuner built in. (ATSC is the new standard for "digital tv") . So these problems will not be as prevalent. However it will not have any effect on the HDMI or component video inputs that I have described.

You need buy HDTV that called "HDTV built-in" to get digital cable but some HDTV can be full of BS.

TVs with "HDTV built-in" means TV has built in HDTV (ATSC) tuner for use with Over the Air (OTA) antenna, NOT digital cable. In order to view HD cable programs, either get a HDTV with CableCard slot or HD cable box from your cable company. Make sure to ask if the cable box outputs CC for HD stations.
CableCard is available from your cable company and eliminates the need to use cable box. It's a small card that plugs into the back of the TV. Problem is not all local cable company provides them. My local cable company does not provide CableCard. I believe CC is inside the TV to work with CableCard, but find out first before buying the TV. Also find out if your local cable company provides CableCard before buying TV. Also CableCard is not free and you have to pay them monthly. I think it costs extra $5 a month.
Currently I use OTA antenna connecting to my HDTV with built-in ATSC tuner and all local stations (Reno, NV) provide HD and CC (including "Law and Order") and they work great. HD picture quality using OTA antenna is usually better to signaficantly better than cable or satellite because OTA uses less compression than others.
hulsw's post about CC using HDMI, components and other inputs is correct.
Pacman's first sentence is correct but partially correct in the second sentence. You cannot watch digital cable directly without a cable box or CableCard because the signals from cable company are encrypted. Cable box or CableCard decrypts the signals but you have to pay for it. But if the cable company provides "QAM" which is unencrypted digital signal and it's free, then your TV needs to have "QAM" tuner. Not many TVs come with QAM tuners. Also not every cable company uses QAM because they want you to pay them. Typical QAM channels are ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX, MyNetwork (sometimes), and CW (sometimes). You might be lucky to get premium QAM channels like Discovery but it's rare.

Digital Television (DTV) Captioning
Will DTV (a.k.a. HDTV or ATV) have captions?
Does DTV captioning still have XDS data?
Are there any DTV caption encoders available?
Are there any standards for DTV captioning?
Who's responsible for EIA-708?
Where can I get other technical info about DTV captions?
Will DTV (a.k.a. HDTV or ATV) have captions?
Our new digital TV standard, known as DTV (digital TV), HDTV (high-definition TV), or ATV (advanced TV), will definitely be able to carry captioning information. The current plan is that DTV signals will be able to carry either the new EIA-708 captioning standard or digital programming, or traditional Line 21 broadcast captioning.
Does DTV captioning still have XDS data?
DTV captioning under EIA-708 does not use XDS per se. There is another mechanism available in a separate data stream for carrying non-caption data such as program names, channel numbers, network IDs, "V-Chip parental content advisories, and so forth. This stream uses the Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP), which is defined by the ATSC A/65 standard.
Are there any DTV caption encoders available?
Yes. Lucent Digital Video, Ultech Corporation, and EEG Enterprises have all announced caption servers for DTV. Evertz Microsystems announced theirs (the Model 8075) in April 99, also.
Are there any standards for DTV (a.k.a. HDTV or ATV) captioning?
Yes. The EIA-708 specification provides for dramatically improved captioning. These are a few of the improvements:
An enhanced character set with more accented letters and non-English letters, and more special symbols.
Viewer-adjustable text size, allowing individuals to adjust their TVs to display small, normal, or large captions.
More text and background colors, including translucent (see-through) backgrounds to optionally replace the big black block.
More text styles, including edged or drop-shadowed text rather than the letters on a solid background
More text fonts, including monospaced and proportional spaced, serif and sans-serif, and some playful cursive fonts.
Higher bandwidth, to allow more data per minute of video.
To get a copy of EIA-708, see "Where do I get the American standards documents?"

Are all broadcast programs closed captioned? Unfortunately, no but in a recent ruling new FCC regulations require 95% of all new programming to be captioned with eight years as of January 1, 1998.

I'm planning to subscribe the HD channels on Directv but I need looking at contract, that probably require to sign or not, if it does then forgot it cuz I don't have time to keep with contract.
Plus, I need HD receiver too, I only have SD receiver, ugh.

Something new is out that I have got word of...A few new DVD players are now on the market so I hear that will let you use the HDMI and they have a decoder in the DVD player
that will let you use the CC........... I am going to look into that very good...
Also I have my DVD player set up with my Philips HD TV and I am using the the GREEN, BLUE, and RED Cables for my hook up to the TV... The C.C. comes in just great...
But you know it would of been so much better if the HDMI would of been set up to use the C.C. like the everyday DVD players do......And ones again people....you see it is all about ... MONEY!!!! They have everything then need to set up the C.C with the
HDMI...They just did not want to spend the money to do it....

Hello All,
Well I have looked into the DVD player from PHILIPS. and it will work with a HDMI cable and give you Closed Captions. It has the Captions Decoder in the DVD player.And for $130.
it is not a bad deal. And I also have found about five more players that do the same thing...
So people we are not out of luck... The Philips 5960 DVD player will do what you need...
Be well and safe all..

HDMI And Closed Caption......
Hello All.
Well l I see there is all kind of talk about Closed Caption andthe HDMI cable....
1. I have a DVR Cable Box From Time Waner. THe Closed Caprion Comes In Jjust fine through the HDMI cable. I did have to set it with the Cable Box...

Spreading the wor
Hi, I'm new to this site and I wanted to spread with you about HDMI not supporting CC.
I'm Deaf and my husband grew fond of CC with me even though he doesn't read but likes to know that we are on same page as we try to follow what the show/commercials are saying.
You can look at this site and my husband posted last message on that forum
As you guys can see that the forum has kept going on to solve the problem, but if there is anyway to make the message a lot bigger that hopefully will call attention to the companies.

I recently purchased a new DTV and turned on captioning. Actually the captioning on the digital channels is quite impressive. It is in real time instead of lagging as I have always seen on conventional tv's. I was impressed. I have yet to try it out on the component inputs. I know that's what the original post was about. Sorry for being off track.

In order to use CC decoder inside the TV and see CC using Component inputs, the source (i.e. DVD player) must be in interlaced (non-progressive) mode and 480 lines or less. 480i is not high definition. Also, the CC decoder must be analog, not digital.
I assumed you were watching HDTV programs using OTA antenna and were able to see CC. This is digital CC which is very different than analog CC. Digital CC decoder inside TV is only available from OTA inputs, not HDMI, Component or any other inputs.
In order to watch CC and HDTV using HDMI or Component inputs, you will need an external source like HDTV cable box or computer using special PVR like Media Center Edition. The external source must transmit CC through HDMI or Component cables. Also, you will have to enable digital CC via menu setup of external source. I do not know any DVD makers that transmits CC over HDMI or Component cables. Plus, DVD players are NOT high definition.
Personally, I prefer sub-titles (or SDH) when watching DVD movies. I like the transparent background of sub-titles as opposed to CC with solid black background. CC in DVD movies are slowly disappearing because sub-titles are easier and cheaper to make. As time goes on, the content of sub-titles are improving. We have to be patient.

A question from a reader:
I adore my husband. We've been happily married for three years now, and our emotional relationship is great. I knew he was special when I met him, and we didn't jump in bed together right away — our first time together was more than just getting drunk and hoping for the best. We love spending time together as much as we can, but our schedules are out of sync and we don't have much awake time together these days. It's been THREE MONTHS since we've had sex. THREE MONTHS. And we don't even have kids! Top it all off with that magic four letter word: PORN. Dudes watch it, that's how life goes. Husbands, boyfriends, brothers, that's how they roll. I know my husband enjoys his dose now and again, but how do I stop feeling insecure about myself when it comes to the ladies on the screen?
Much love,
Not Gettin' Any in the City
I'm not one of those women that is swinging from the chandelier after the lights go out. But I have been married to my husband for less than two years and we have a baby. And a seven year old. So, I guess I am one of those women that finds a way to make it happen. Sexy Time.
Speaking of a baby, I had one recently. I don't exactly have a bikini body, gang. I try not to compare myself to myself of years ago much less to a girl on a computer screen. But I am not exempt from the occasional self-loathing. So, I get it, sister. And I understand.
On to your question – You like him. He likes you. You're busy. But you're not getting busy. The hubs has taken matters in to his hands. You wrote to me because it is on your mind, too. So, this knocks out more than a few issues. It is not lack of interest, either in one another or in doing the deed.
So, how do you stop feeling insecure when you compare yourself to the porno gals? Well, stop checking his history. Presumably, he does not leave the browser window open and a wad of kleenex on his desk?
It doesn't seem like you have a problem with the idea of a man that checks out a porno. It doesn't even seem like you have an issue with your man checking out porno. So, shoot him an email. "Hey, honey, I don't care if you and Missy Juggs have a hot date from time to time, but it wreaks havoc on my self-esteem every time I see it in the browser history. Please delete it. Then maybe I won't compare myself and come up short. And then I will continue to feel like the sexiest gal you have ever laid eyes on. And then, maybe just maybe, it might not be just your eyes getting laid in our house. One can dream, love, one can dream."
Hopefully once there is no evidence of your husband's activities you will put it out of your mind. And if that doesn't work I think it is important to remember that pornos are more about entertainment than sexuality and reality. I love scary movies, the scarier the better. When my heart beats fast and I am scared to tears I love it. But no part of me wishes that my husband would start hiding behind the bathroom door or killing our neighbors. I have never looked at either of my kids and thought "Geez, I would love you more if you were possessed by a demon." Chances are your husband doesn't look at you and wish you looked or acted like a porn star.
Speaking of how your husband looks at you – you mentioned that you didn't just fall in to the sack, that it was with intention. I imagine it is fairly meaningful to both of you. Any chance he doesn't know that sex is a priority to you? He might not have any idea that you have the itch. Have you ever told him that even though it has been a while it's a-ok with you if it is a quickie right before you pass out and that he doesn't need to hold out until there is time for wine and roses?
It has been helpful to me to say it out loud and in English and to not put my husband on the spot. "I would like to go to Sexy Town, please. Can you pencil me in sometime in the next 48 hours?" This gives the hubs the chance to say "Sure, but not tonight because I have a hangnail" or whatever.
For many couples scheduling their sex life is the only way to make it happen. I don't like the pressure implied by a mandatory Tuesday Night Get Down (nor do I like the idea that if you skip out on Tuesday you end up waiting another week!) But I don't think there is anything wrong with voicing your needs plainly.
Sex is messy whether you are having it or talking about not having it. In a marriage you strive to meet your partner's needs and to have yours met.
Identify the need. Is it intimacy? Is it sex? Is it feeling appreciated or desired? Do some thinking on that. And then ask. Out loud. In English. Do your best to offer up a suggestion as to how that need might be fulfilled. Marriage is complicated enough. I think the only kind of cheating that is a good idea in a marriage is the kind where you give one another the answers.
Good luck. Hope you get lucky.

There's no doubt that Albert Pujols is a future first ballet Hall of Fame inductee when he's eligible. But for right now, everybody who admires pure power hitting will be able to enjoy him for a couple more years. That's if nothing goes terrible wrong with the 34 year old first baseman/designated hitter from the Dominican Republic.
I grew up watching Albert Pujols dominate pitchers left and right ever since he first entered the league back in 2001. As a Chicago Cubs fan, he's been responsible for more than a handful of headaches and tantrums. Whenever he stepped into the batters box, it was pretty much guaranteed that he launched one into the bleachers or out of the ballpark.
Last year we saw a different version of Pujols. He was hit with an injury that limited him to only 99 games, which brought him down to career low numbers. He finished the year with only 17 home runs, 64 RBI's and a batting line of .258/.330/.437.
Pujols has never finished a season under 30 home runs, 99 RBI's, .258/.343/.516.
But he's looking to turn things around in 2014. According to Joel Sherman on Twitter, the limited Pujols actually enjoyed his normal offseason.
Also on Hot Stove, Pujols has had "normal" offseason, hitting since Oct. Why that is so vital for #Angels
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) February 6, 2014
The Angels are looking to compete with the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics this year and will need number five 100 percent in order to do that.
What do you think Angels fans? Are you excited about the upcoming season? Do you see your Angels taking the American League West?

This turtle spends hours of every day looking at his right front leg. Why?
Hey all, wanted to give you an update on the Coyote we have in the hospital. This little guy has made a lot of progress since mid-August and his condition has improved dramatically. He is recovering from a severe case of Sarcoptic Mange as well as a bacterial infection and malnutrition.
This coyote teen has been receiving a regiment of antibiotics and anti-parasitic drugs as well as nutritional support to help him get back to a healthy weight. As you can see from the picture his mange has mostly cleared and the fur on his face is re-growing nicely. He is much more active and alert and has regained his appetite.
He will be receiving his 3rd round of treatments this week and we are cautiously optimistic that he will be healthy enough to return to the wild by the middle of October. Thank you all for your concern and we will keep you posted on his progress.
A pigeon is admitted after being scooped from the Charles River near Cambridge. He had reportedly been caught by a hawk, who accidentally dropped him into the water below. Luckily a good Samaritan at the Museum of Science saw the incident and fished him out before it was too late. When he arrived he was suffering from several puncture wounds and was quite disoriented to his surroundings. After about a week of cage rest and antibiotics he is ready to rejoin his friends and family in the wild, with instructions to avoid making any more friends with large talons.
Dr. Mertz believes the culprit to be one of the Peregrine Falcons who have made a home on the MIT campus this past year. They are among the fastest animals in the world and have an affinity for catching small birds, after all they did not receive the nickname "Pigeon Hawk" for nothing.
How grape vines frolic. This is the underside of a wild fox grape vine. These tendrils help fix the vine unto the ground or another surface if they touch it. Until then they remain splayed and frolicsome.
Fox grapes are eaten by foxes, raccoons, squirrels, grackles, cedar waxwings, and me.
This moth visited my house last evening. He obliged me with a short photo session.

Events in 2014
September will be a very busy month for us with Sagraitalia taking part in a promotional event in Italy on September 14th hosted by Festivaldelgusto and Olivaverde, then a party held at a farm near Henley in Berkshire at which we provided an Italian themed evening party with produce from both Puglia and Tuscany.
Festivaldelgusto is the first of several similar events to be held in Italy, the UK and Malta, the next festival to be held in Malta next May.
Summer parties are always popular and this year we held a very popular event near the Thames in Windsor, it was part of the summer events held by one of the large private hospital groups BMI and The Neurology Practice which operates in west London and in the counties of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
The event featured a range of Italian produce specifically supplied by small artisan producers and all from organically certified farms and azienda in the Marche region of eastern Italy. The event proved a great success and it is hoped that a similar event can be held in the Runnymead area of Berkshire again next summer.
Sagraitalia is always looking for new and outstanding venues for events and also our clients and in the east of England one
of the most beautiful must be the Dragon Hall in the historic city of Norwich in Norfolk.
in the UK, the University of East Anglia, UEA which gives the city a large population of young people with the associated
bars, restaurants and night spots which students frequent.
trading hall in the year 1430. over the centuries the uses of this beautiful building has changed many times and today it has
numerous uses which include markets, fairs, exhibitions, music venues and workshops.
we hope to make Dragon Hall one of our featured venues for clients to use in this part of the UK.
Each year a large and popular summer wine festival is held by Marsovin wines on the Mediterranean island of Malta, this
year the festival is being held from the 12th to the 14th of July. This prestigious event is one of the highlights of the Maltese
summer calendar and is usually held in the beautiful Hastings garden in Valletta, with its fantastic views across the Grand
harbour and beyond. Over thirty different wines are available to try at each evenings event, covering a wide spectrum of
palates and tastes with entertainment provided by some of the leading musicians to be found on the islands.
of years and including influences from the Phoenicians, Romans, Turks, French and British giving a rich inheritance to the
culture both of the islands and the Maltese inhabitants.
There is a long history of wine making on the Maltese islands and Marsovin is one of the leading wine makers, having a
large range of excellent wines which are produced from grapes grown in vineyards which are located in many parts of Malta
and also Gozo. Malta has mild winters and very hot summers and these are near perfect conditions for the growing and
production of wine and over many years Marsovin have been the leading producer of fine wines on the islands.
caterers which make up an essential part of the success and enjoyment of the Summer Festival each year.
our event year and is a real must for anyone interested in Maltese wine and culture.
We had a really lovely time at parlour Arabesque at the Leighton House Museum where we also sponsored the Parlour Collective who have produced shows in diverse spaces across Europe, including Swedenborg House, Christchurch
Spitalfields and Oxford Botanic Gardens and are now holding the Parlour Arabesque at the Leighton House Museum in
Holland Park, Kensington as part of the Kensington Summer Events Festival on Wednesday July 24th. It is hoped that up to
150 guests will attend this evening event to be held in the house and also outside in the gardens and Sagraitalia will be
working closely with Jack Catling of Parlour Collective to help make this a memorable evening.
The Leighton House Museum was the former home of the famous Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton and the only
purpose built studio house in the UK, it now holds a large and varied collection of paintings and sculptures by Lord Leighton
and his contemporaries.
Olivaverde is taking part in a promotional event at the Rossodisera restaurant in London on Thursday 11th April and Sagraitalia has been asked to help set up and promote the event. Rossodisera is the only Le Marche orientated Italian restaurant in London and there will be a tasting of wines from Cantina Colli Ripani a well known wine producer from the le Marcvhe region and Lovingmarche, a Le Marche based wedding and travel planning group.
The event will be for a maximum of 30 guests and will be a showcase for producers and products from the Le Marche tegion of Italy.
Slow food Norwich have asked Sagraitalia to help them and Olivaverde with a tutored tasting at the Virgin Money group in Norwich on Thursday March 14th. There will be four organic olive oils tasted along with organic honey from a small producer from Le Marche in Italy.
Also present will be wines from Naked Wines the large well known wine retailer which is based in Norwich and they will hopefully be bringing a wine producer to talk about his wines that will be some of those tasted on the evening.
Sagraitalia were pleased to be asked to take part at wine tasting and food event that was held in Cambridge on Saturday 15th february and we were pleased to taste and promote a range of olive oils from Frantoio Montedoro in Le Marche, Italy.
Further events in 2012

market and then at the Slow Supper together with members of Slow food Norwich in on Saturday 1st December at the King
of Hearts cafe in St Magdelan St, Norwich.
The Italian Charity Il Circolo which is based in London held its annual Christmas Market at the Old Town Hall in Chelsea on
Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th November. Sagraitalia was approached by one of the stallholders to ask our friends at
Libera Terra supply orange and lemon marmalades from the Libera Terra organisation in Sicily to accompany the superb
Panattone and wines that they had for sale at this wonderful market.
Jayne Raffles of Raffles restaurants in Norwich hosted an evening of tastings of Libera Terra
wines at the St Benedicts restaurant in Norwich on Wednesday 14th November. The evening proved very popular and was
sold out much earlier in the year with over fifty guests present on the night to taste the wines and eat from a menu of
typical Sicilian dishes.

Rosato wine from three different regions of Italy, Toscana, Puglia and Le Marche and this will be part of the regular early
evening Aperitivi that are held at the Market Quarter throughout the year.
We are holding a small Italian themed evening in Docking in north West Norfolk at the end of October, this will be a pasta

Rotherhithe on October 27th and Sagraitalia is very pleased to be once again involved with the organisation of this event.
The evening will be themed as an exploration of the tunnels and underground world of this part of London and is called the
Parlour Souterrain.
Parlour Collective contacted Sagraitalia in early 2012 to ask for our support with an prestigious event at Oxford University on September 8th. Sagraitalia is pleased to be involved with the Parlour Jardin event at the Botanic garden in Oxford and we hope to also be involved with parlour Collective for further events in London and other parts of the UK in 2012 and beyond.
Our friends at Selezione Zanotto, Sagraitalia will supply an Italian spark to a memorable wedding in Suffolk in early September. The selection of fantastic wines from Selezione Zanotto and olive oils from Frantoio Montedoro will give this event a real Italian feel and we are supplying advice for the menus and an olive oil tasting at the beginning of the wedding meal.
Sagraitalia is very pleased to be involved in a prestigious Biodynamic event in the West country toward the end of August. The Tastegarden is a unique Biodynamic experience in Devon between the 24th and 27th August at the Weststoryfest in Embercombe near Exeter.
The event is being organised by the UK Biodynamic association and we are involved in supplying Biodynamic olive oil and wine from various regions in Italy. The Tastegarden offers a space where festival goers can be introduced to the principles and practices of Biodynamic gardening and farming, while also they can experience different foods, beverages and herb essences.
There will also be various workshops, talks and skill sharing as well as tutors teaching the history and present day practices of Biodynamic horticulture and agriculture.
As part of the Queens Jubilee celebrations, we organised a special Jubilee party for staff at one of the leading Hospitals in Windsor that has close associations with the Castle just up the road in Windsor.
There was more of an English theme than we have in our normal Italian food and wine events, but we managed to give everyone present memories of a very special day in Windsor and we are planning another event at the same venue at Christmas.
June was a busy month for us at Sagraitalia in conjunction with Vinitours as we met old friends and new members of Slow food Norwich at some events at Norwich in Norfolk. We are also hoping to find an event site in Le Marche and possibly share some space in London for the moment.
We organised a tasting in London of wines and olive oils from Tuscany produced by Azienda La Torre of Arezzo and the Rosso Toscano and also their olive oils proved very popular. Their olive oils were classed as superb by our tasters and also came out top at our blind tasting of 5 olive oils from Tuscany, Umbria and Sicily. We are pleased to be hopefully working with them to arrange several large tastings in London and Cambridge in August and September.
We were pleased to be able to help organise a wedding reception with an Italian twist in Hackney in east London. The bride and groom are passionate about Italy and all things Italian and Sagraitalia was able to supply both authentic Italian food as well as Italian music.
One of our Italian friends who imports wines from lesser known regions of Italy supplied the event with some of their wonderful wines and also vin santo which went down extremely well with all concerned.
Sagraitalia is pleased to be holding a special natural wine and organic olive oil evening in partnership with our friend Stefano from Selezione Zanotto at the Veneticus Italian Delicatessen in London on Thursday April 26th.

There will be a special wine and food evening at the Market Quarter, Elizabeth Street, Belgravia, London to mark the launch of Libera Terra wine and food in London. The evening is being held on Thursday 15th March, with only a limited number of places for the public as demand is high. Members of Slow Food London and Norwich will be also attending this unique event as Libera Terra has a close association with Slow food in Italy. Alistair Cameron from the Market Quarter is a passionate supporter of Slow Food and has been instrumental in organising the evening on behalf of Libera Terra and Sagraitalia.
There will be four Libera Terra wines to try on the evening, three from Sicily and one from Puglia, along with a tasting of organic olive oil and marmalades all produced by the small communities and volunteers who are part of the large Libera co operatives.

The wines available on the evening were all from the small artisan wine producer, La Busattina who are situated in the Maremma region of southern Tuscany.

Weekly Recap (05/16/11-05/21/11)by Tim Manni
We get that question a lot! While sometimes it's hard to understand why a certain reader was denied a refinance based on just the information they left in a blog comment or an email, other times, the reason is rather black and white.
While I may be able to discern why a given homeowner doesn't qualify for a refinance, the answers borrowers receive from their servicers are often vague and incomplete. But just knowing whether or not you have mortgage insurance alone could unlock the key to why you have been denied…
"Refinancers jumping on low mortgage rates"
It's always puzzling why more mortgage borrowers don't fill out loan applications when mortgage rates are historically low and still falling. In this current low-rate environment, there are, however, the usual suspects that keep borrowers on the sidelines:

"Recovery ahead, says public…but not until 2014"
When will the real estate downturn end? According to a new study by RealtyTrac and Trulia, most Americans surveyed believe that a market which has been in the dumps since April 2007 is likely to remain depressed until 2014. That would mean a seven-year drought on the real estate front, something truly of biblical proportions.
What makes the study interesting is that questions asked in November 2010 were asked again in April 2011. The changing perception of the marketplace is apparent–the hope for a quick resolution of the housing crisis has now evolved into a belief that we will remain firmly stuck in slow gear, despite current mortgage rates which are near historic lows…
"Consumers and industry pros: CFPB wants to hear from you"
Beginning today, until May 27, 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is seeking comment from consumers and industry professionals alike on the design of a new, single-page mortgage disclosure form:
Consumers who apply for mortgage loans get two disclosure forms with basic facts about the loan they've applied for. You see the disclosure before you sign on the dotted line – it's what you know before you owe.
We need your help. We're designing a single, simpler disclosure. From now until Friday, May 27th, you can review our draft designs, and tell us what you like best. It only takes a few minutes, and your input will be delivered to our team.

"Should we celebrate lower home prices?"
Could it be that lower home prices are actually good news?
Writing in the Washington Post recently, Robert Samuelson argues that "housing's troubles may have a silver lining. If you're a homeowner, the steep fall in prices is calamitous. But if you're a future buyer, it's a godsend. What we're seeing is a massive wealth transfer from today's older homeowners to tomorrow's younger homeowners. From year-end 2006 to 2010, housing values fell $6.3 trillion, reports the Federal Reserve. Assuming there's no sharp rebound in prices–a good bet–that's $6.3 trillion the young won't pay"…
"Mortgage rates fall even more"
Mortgage rates found even more room to fall last week as our economy shows no signs of serious improvement. While mortgage rates have found a new low point for 2011, they seem to have found the mid-way point between some highs and lows over the last eight months or so:
Along with a leveling of gains in equity prices over the past couple of weeks, at least some money has come back into bonds, taking the top off of a spike in mortgage rates which saw the conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgage run from 4.32% on October 22, 2010 to as high as 5.09% on February 18 of this year. This week's average of 4.74% for that most common instrument is almost exactly halfway between those two bookends…

Tuition, 2014-2015
Summer Update: Financial Aid is no longer available for the 2014-15 school year.
Penn Charter operates on the founding Quaker principles of equality and diversity. To help realize William Penn's vision of education for all, the school maintains a significant financial aid program. Financial aid for the 2013-2014 school year totaled more than $8 million. Currently, 38 percent of our students receive need-based financial aid.At Penn Charter, "need" is defined as the difference between the family's resources and the child's tuition expenses. To evaluate need, Penn Charter uses formulas created by School and Student Services (SSS), which is part of the National Association of Independent Schools. Parents applying for financial aid must complete the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) and send it with a processing fee to SSS.Admissions decisions are made separately from and prior to financial aid decisions. Any student who applies to Penn Charter may apply for financial assistance. Penn Charter imposes no income ceiling or minimum for families applying for financial aid. Because Penn Charter maintains a balanced allocation of financial aid, funds are most likely to be available to new students entering pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and grades 6, 7, and 9. At other grade levels, financial aid is either unavailable or very limited.
Current families may apply for financial aid regardless of their child's grade.
Families that indicate an interest in financial aid receive materials from the school beginning in December. Because funds are limited, it is crucial that families process the application forms as soon as possible and meet all financial aid deadlines. Learn more about the financial aid process.
Below is the presentation from the Financial Aid Workshop from Nov. 12, 2013. The file is in pdf format.

The Portrait of the Graduate articulates our expectations for the intellectual growth, social responsibility, spiritual development, and physical and emotional well-being of our graduates.
The After-School Program at Penn Charter is committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment that meets the needs of our Lower School students and families during after-school hours and non-instructional days.

I want to know how well everyone thinks a certain Cardinal (in this case Max Hall) will perform against the current opponent (the Seattle Seahawks). I am constantly trying to predict stats, its an obsessive-compulsive thing, I guess. My only suggestion is that you choose truthfully. With this site always brimming with optimism, choosing truthfully can be, for lack of a better word, difficult. And if your optimism and your true beliefs are one in the same, then that's great. Choose the closest one to your prediction, and tweak it a bit in a comment (like adding interceptions or rushing yards/TDs, if you think there will be any). So let's vote!

Where can I find data for total goals and assists scored league-wide in the NHL this season? I checked behindthenet and nhl.com, but maybe I'm just missing it.
I'm thinking of coming up with a stat that weighs the value of assists. One of the arguments in the Malkin v. Ovie for MVP debate is that Malkin has more assists. Malkin supporters say this means he makes his teammates better; Ovie supporters say assists mean less than goals. There should be a weigh to measure how much less an assist is worth than a goal.
Seems to me that an easy way to do that is to divide total goals by total assists to come up with the value of each assist in terms of goals. Muliply that by each player's assist total and add it to his goals, and you get an adjusted goal total for the player.
But I'm stuck trying to get the numbers for total goals and assists scored league-wide. Any help would be appreciated, both in terms of data sources and problems with the formula.

A transsexual man, who was born a woman, has been recognised by Japan's top court as the legal father of his wife's child, in a national first.
The Supreme Court overturned earlier decisions that had rejected the man's bid to be registered as one of the child's parents, and said the fact that a third person's sperm was used in his wife's IVF treatment was not legally material.
The decision opens the door for other transsexuals to gain recognition as fathers, despite their having no biological role in the conception and birth of the child.
In their ruling on Tuesday, the judges said they had to take into account a 2004 law that allowed those diagnosed with gender identify disorder to get their gender changed in legal documents if they fulfilled certain conditions, including undergoing a sex change operation.

Poured from 650mL bottle into 16oz pint glass:
A: Very little head, which dissipated quickly, and almost resembled espresso crema. Thin film of foamy, creamy lacing, which drips down in ~5s. A very heavy pour!
S: More stout than scotch, with a light mocha/coffee complexion. Wee Heavy hits after a few seconds, with that typical, hard-to-discribe scent...almost like plum pudding. A but of burnt nut and caramel in the back.
T: Much like the scent, but with much more stout up front. Lingers on tongue with Scotch, and burnt nuts and espresso after. Complex and very tasty, thumbs up!
M: As expected, this had a low carbonation, but also a moderately weak body. Not bad, but a little less than expected. Foam lingers on tongue for a while, hiding the high ABV.
O: Definitely one of the better dark ales I've had. Complex, pretty, and all around a winner. The body was a bit weak, but this only served to make it more refreshing. I'm not sure whether the bourbon-barrel aging made a difference, but I've sure never tasted nutty flavours in a Wee Heavy like this before.

650ml bottle. Nice old-timey imagery on the label of the proclaimed 'twin barrel' brewing process.
This beer pours a clear, golden ruddy hue, with two fingers of thick foamy white head, which leaves some decent island arch lace around the glass as slinks away.
It smells of wood, vanilla, bourbon booze, and a slight smokiness, over a subdued grainy, mildly caramelized malt. The taste is biscuity, grainy malt, more vanilla, that backwoods Appalachian corny whisky character, in moderate amounts, some late-arising meaty red wine essence, and mild earthy, leafy hops.
The carbonation is a bit punchy at first, but readily settles into more tenable territory, the body a bit south of medium weight, and a tad thin, but quite smooth overall. It finishes rather off-dry, the malt and guest whisky elements still in play.
Well, it seems that the whisky trumps the wine in this little experiment - JD's 'finest' besting an Okanagan cabernet sauvignon barrel (there really aren't even all that many kicking around in that particular winemaking region). At any rate, their combined, offsetting effect is a more than drinkable affair, one which still allows the biscuity underlying malt to strut its stuff.

Phillips has brewed two different versions of this beer, so I'll break my review in two:
1) The 2010 & 2011 versions of this brew (pictured at the top) were heaven for me. I broke it down into 3 main flavors, the first being the scotch ale flavor. It was a deep malt, sweet and thick, lots of caramel, toffee and some great peat. The second hit was the bourbon; a little booze, some honey and brown sugar, followed by a significant vanilla kick. And the third (and best) was the finish: all wine! I've never before or since tasted a beer with that smooth, oakey Cab Sauv finish! While not a traditional scotch ale style, this remains one of my all-time favorite brews.
2) They're 2012 version differed greatly from their original two batches. So much so, that they even changed the label. Right after release, this beer was much closer to a traditional scotch ale than its predecessors. It lacked the complexity, the thickness and the crazy wine finish of the previous batches. Needless to say I was initially very disappointed, but once I adjusted my perspective to taste this brew for what it was, instead of what I was hoping it would be, I had to give it some credit. It had a nice malt body with a solid caramel sweetness and a soft bready finish. Some peat nuances throughout. A solid scotch ale, but nothing I would salivate over. Now here comes the BIG BUT... -> BUT: after 8 months in my cellar, it is slowly returning to its previous self. The wine finish is growing, and the bourbon flavor is asserting itself. The main flavor is still the scotch ale, but the beer is starting to get more complex (finally!! haha). I'll be saving a few more bottles of this to see how far it can progress. Fingers crossed.

A - clear dark bronze, tall off white head retained nicely leaving consistent lacing as it dissipated
S - toasty, caramael, and bready, not really getting any of the barrel aging or typical scotch ale character on the nose
T - sweet burbon & caramel up front, followed by a subtle fruity character of the wine barrel, roasty and lightly smoky finish
M - heavyish full body, creamy and sticky throughout
O - definitely unique with the burbon and red wine barrel aging coming through nicely without being overwhelming

Appearance. Pours a deep clear amber-gold with a half finger of bubbly off-white head.
Smell. Sweet red grapes, white wine, caramel and sweet toasted grains, some vanilla and old damp wood.
Taste. Oranges and light spices, some sweet caramel and white wine, a bit of wood and smooth bourbon.
Mouthfeel. Medium+ body with smooth medium carbonation.
Overall. Wow, this stuff goes down easy. Some nice gentle flavours going on, I enjoyed it and it went too fast.

From a 650 ml brown bottle. Pours out a clear ruddy amber hue, tight foamy off-white head with good retention.
Bready malt on the nose, puncuated with toffee and vanilla, some nuttiness, even some faint chocolate.
Rich bready toffee up front in the flavour, along with a nutty character and some spicy herbal hops. Warming alcohol rises in the middle, while things mellow out with a woody, nutty character on the finish, drying out a bit with some spicy hops, while some vanilla notes tend to appear in the aftertaste and coats the lips after a while.
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, heavy yet silky texture, moderate carbonation.
Phillips flexes their muscles and shows off their chops with this one, well worth picking up and stocking up on. My favourite so far of their non-hoppy fare, and a well executed experiment.

22oz bottle of Phillips' most recent release. Bottle states, "This scotch ale has been aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels and then loaded into Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from the Okanagon."
Pours a orange tinged brown (bourbonish) with a finger plus of head. Bubbles coming up sustain some lacing and a film on top of the beer.
Smell is oak, vanilla, bourbon, molasses, faint licorice, and even fainter hints of raisin.
Entry screams vanilla with hints of bourbon in the body and finish, faint molasses, a slight herbaceous quality (maybe even peat). Not finding much influence from the wine barrels but the bourbon is there - not overpowering as some are inclined but nicely integrated into the flavor.
Wow, I am really impressed with this offering. Slightly over carbonated with a faint watery finish but the mouthfeel comes across as creamy as accentuates the flavors. A nice mix of complex flavors that doesn't scream BIG BEER; this is fairly light and actually quite drinkable.
I have to say this for Phillips - they are always creating and bottling new beers in new styles and pushing the envelope for what can be brewed in BC. They don't nail it every time but in my mind, Matt Phillips is hands down the best brewer in BC for his ability to create multiple styles at a high level and for his willingness to try new styles. This is one of the better ones and possibly (hopefully) we'll see it again. If you can track one down - it's most certainly worth drinking.

Thanks to wordemupg for hooking up a longtime want, 650ml into a tulip. Cheers bro!
Filtered reddish orange, with a white head. Light retention. Nose is super vegetal, asparagus, cabbage and corn. a bit of peat, sweet malt and light oak. Veggies are really off-putting - yuck. Taste has more veggie, light peat, caramel, asparagus. Watery mouthfeel, sweet with a weird lingering flavour. Too many off flavours in this one for me, disappointing given the description of this beer and the expectations I had for it.

Viggo shared this one. thanks eric!
22oz bottle. sampled oct 29/09.
pours deep red, pretty much crystal clear, with a small fine white head. the head quickly drops to a ring around the glass and leaves no lace.
aroma is a little wacky. definitely notice a contribution from both barrels, but more so the bourbon. raw oak. lots of vanilla. bit of wine. light alcohol. caramel and toffee. whole wheat bread. bit of biscuit and cracker. the barrels are the main thing dominating here, but the beer still manages to come through nicely.
taste is dominated by the barrel, but to the detriment of the beer beneath. this tastes like it spent too much time in the barrel. tons of bourbon. oaky tannin. vanilla. the wine is less noticeable here, lest as even more oak piled on top of the bourbon barrel. bit of caramel and big buttery butterscotch. whole wheat bread. bit of biscuit and cracker. hints of smoke and earth. the alcohol seems more warming and harsh in this 7.7% wee heavy than in the 9.3% one i had before it. low bitterness level.
mouthfeel is nice. nice big body. fairly dry finish. medium-low carbonation level. bit of astringency from the large oaky tannin presence.
drinkability is ok. definitely far too much barrel in my eyes. you can catch glimpses (especially in the aroma) of a promising beer beneath, but unfortunately it's been beaten by a big barrel hammer. a shame as it really had promise up front.

I knew this had been out a while ago, but after running all over Victoria, I finally stopped at the brewery & asked. They didn't have any, but suggested Vintages on Douglas, where I found the last bottle!
A: Copper-brown with a bubbly, off-white head; very thin ring of retention only leaves a little leg.
S: Lovely woody aroma with plenty of scotch and underlying vanilla; toffee & hints of fruity esters.
T: Sweet toffee, vanilla, wood, nut, very modest bitterness (like a true scotch ale) and hints of bubble gum fruity esters. The alcohol is warming and there's certainly some whiskey in the finish (and hints of tannins). I think the wood aging has been done perfectly, though I'd prefer the base brew to have a little more malt & body (though this one really showcases the barrel aging).
M: Well attenuated moderate body has a slightly drying finish.
D: A pleasant sipper.

650 ml bottle, big thanks to ritzkiss for hooking me up.
Pours a lightly hazy golden, some amber and orange highlights, thin off white head forms, settles quickly to a thin collar, good retention but no real lacing on the glass.
Smell is nice, lots of vanilla and whiskey, sweet malt, some caramel, winey, crackers, alcohol, apple juice, a bit sour and citrusy in the aroma, alcohol, lots of barrel character.
Taste is weird, too much barrel character, alcohol, vanilla, wood, whiskey, some caramel, a bit biscuity and rich, dark fruit, more alcohol/bourbon, sherry, interesting.
Mouthfeel is thin, light bodied, watery feeling, medium to high carbonation, some alcohol burn. Too much barrel character for the base beer to handle, but I see what they were trying to do, and it has some real nice elements to it. Thanks Eric!

Appearance - Pours a slightly hazy copper brown with a finger width of off-white head that dissipates quickly.
Smell - Plum, caramel, toffee, vanilla, slight bourbon aroma, red wine aroma.
Taste - Well balanced flavours of dark fruits, toffee/caramel and vanilla. Slight breadiness and booziness. Dark fruits and vanilla linger in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light carbonation.
Overall - A pleasant Scotch ale from Phillips. I quite enjoyed the complex balance of the fruit, vanilla, and alcohol. Phillips has the style bang on. Definitely worth a buy.

Phillips Double Barrel Scotch Ale pours a deep orange red with a foamy head that doesn't linger. The aroma is sweet caramelized malt with some dark fruitiness. Malt dominates the flavor, without being overly sweet. Lots of toasted bread, with hints of peat and roasted malt. There is a bit of herbal hop flavor, with a mild bitterness. The oak is muted, I probably wouldn't have picked it out if it wasn't on the label.

650ml bomber poured into tulip 26/3/12
A clear amber with slow tiny bubbles feeding an light beige head that retains pretty well leaving leaving some random lace on the way down
S toffee and butterscotch, plenty of vanilla, wood, hazelnut, faint smokey notes, a little booze, and a little plum perhaps, and even a little citric hops, everything is subtle on its own but together they work quite well, not sure what the wine barrel did to this one perhaps the vanilla and wood?
T the taste is quite nice but missing a little complexity that the nose had, more toffee's and a little more nutty then the nose, I'm surprised there's still a hop presence this strong in an aged beer, I taste some of their Amnesic in regards to the hop profile, a littler fruitier then the nose
M silky entry and quickly creams up from the bubbles, a little sticky on the lips and the little booze I could smell is not felt on the way down, pretty smooth stuff
O a lot of small things come together to create something big, I really don't see what the wine barrel did to this one but I really enjoyed it nonetheless
this one didn't last me very long that's for sure, well worth the 7$ keep the Phillips flood deep in Alberta please

On the pour this Scotch Ale reminded me of a carbonated cranberry juice. Immediately available is a large vinous aroma, , vanilla, peat, carrots, oak, wood, cherries, and tobacco. A weird, yet alluring, tumult of flavours of re wine, vanilla, peat, diactyl, carrots, and orange juice. A very smooth, well-attenuated beer with a dry wine-like finish. Phillips' Double Barrel Scotch Ale is a sordid weaving of unique flavours that'll be looking out for each year.

Bottle into tulip courtesy of Rutager for the CANBIF 2012. No date on bottle.
A- Crystal clear dark brown/red pour with a two plus finger soapy, sticky off white head. Lacing clings to the glass.
S- Caramel, toffee, vanilla, brown sugar, definite sour mash aroma from the whiskey barrel. Not getting any wine characteristics but am picking up plenty of oak.
T- Sour mash whiskey, caramel, vanilla and a solid wood flavor. Half way through the bottle the wine really popped and shone through the rest, added a whole new dimension to the beer.. There is a slight char and a touch of alcohol and bitterness.
M- Medium bodied, slightly creamy, decent carbonation and sticky sweet on the lips.
O- I enjoyed the beer, the creativity was pinned on this one. I enjoy whiskey barrel beers but the cabernet barrels did not shine on this, it was almost non-existent and over powered by the sour mash.

Really a watershed beer for BC. Barrel aged to perfection and a future classic. This is a dark beer with a nose that smells of vanilla and wood. The beer is very redolent of bourbon and some red wine. Matt used a good Scotch Ale base to anchor all the whisky/vanilla goodness which is actually puts it a step up on Innis and Gunn. I loved the smoky taste off the first sip coupled the amazing nose. The only small flaw is that the finish is a little short otherwise a world class beer that takes risks.

I have been drinking beers from Phillips for years. In that time, I've seen Matt Phillips make incredible bounds in the quality of his brews, and this is just another success.
As per most of Phillips' beers, this is served in a bomber.
The colour is a bit light compared to other Scotch Ales I've had. Copper-mahogany, this looks a bit like a barley wine.
Peaty, vanilla-bourban scent and slight wine traces. This smells like a barely-wined version of a wee heavy. Bits of butterscotch and spice hide in the flavour and the scent. The oak barrels shine through, both the bourbon and wine and they don't overwhelm the smoky peat, but play with it.
Good, mild carbonation. I can pick up traces of barely wine and scotch ale, and at 7.7% alcohol its a fair compromise between the two and something I might be able to have two of.

A: Very dark reddish brown like cherry stained wood. 1/2" head that disappeared quickly.
S: Very unique and alluring. First thing that came to my mind was "wow" because of the smell of red wine, vanilla and caramel, and oak. The nutty smell of Phillips malt was present as well.
T: Like a nice full bodied red wine was spliced with the DNA of vanilla, caramel, and hints of bourbon and oak and then used to impregnate the egg of nice ale. Its unbelievable how the different casks were used to create something this flavorful while still being balanced at the same time.
M: Medium to low carbonation, smooth, not very overpowering on the alcohol. Very sneaky.
O: One of the most unique beers I have ever tried. It makes Innis & Gunn seem harsh in comparison. The taste is out of this world.
Note: I found the 2012 version to be oilier and woodier than the 2011 version. It also had less of a wine taste to it. I would rate the 2012 version at about a 4.3 as the taste and mouthfeel were not as good.

Indo-US TiesNov 30
Indian Americans in the US could be a major game changer in Indo-US ties.
As the United States and India inch closer towards consolidating common ground, Indians who settled in the US decades ago could help fasten the process. The recent visit by the Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, was a major event in the US media. Though the visit was not path breaking in terms of strengthening bilateral ties, the media glare surrounding it, certainly made calls for it.
The US and India are natural allies today. The Cold War era is over and India is gradually aligning itself with the US. India voted against Iran at the UN, in the debate on a nuclear Iran. The Americans also have vested interests in the Indian subcontinent. Testimony to this is the attention on the Af-Pak policy, Sino-US ties, the Nuclear Deal with India, et al, making the front page news over the past few months.
A lot of skilled Indians migratted to the US in search of better opportunities from the 60′s. These NRIs (Non Resident Indians) slowly climbed up the ladder of excellence in their respective fields. Today Indian-American community is one of the largest communities to come from the outside.
Get a perspective of this. Their strength is almost 3 million, a further hundred thousand are in unversities across the US. Almost one-third of Silicon Valley Engineers are from India. Ramakrishnan, a scientist of Indian Origin, shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry this year. What's more, the biggest Wall Street scandal today involves three Indians – the New York prosecutor, the accused and the chief witness. This could well be a scandal in Dalal Street, not Wall Street.
So what does all of this mean for Indo-US ties.Well, its only going to get better and already there are cat-calls for the same. Time for the pro-Pak approach of the Democrats to change. India is the United States biggest ally in the region.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Children in need will have some brighter days at the Salvation Army with some new playground equipment starting this week.
The forty thousand dollar equipment upgrade will replace the old wooden equipment which had rotted posts and was not up to code.
The new structures are powder coated and rubberized giving them a much longer life span and making them safer for the kids. The fire departments of La Crosse and Onalaska each have volunteers helping with the installation of the new gear.
Vern Strayer has been volunteering with the Salvation Army for more than 18 years and heads the project. "Its important to me personally, because I have grand kids of my own that I see go to playgrounds. And I see the shape of some of the playground equipment that they go to in my home town and this will be a lot nicer."
The new playground will be assembled and finished off Thursday morning with a backfill of sand followed by a layer of rubber mulch.
