On tap at Kickbacks, poured into a Unibroue tulip. Sticky lacing coating the glass, quickly disappearing white head, fresh pine in the nose, maybe some grapefruit. Dry finish, not very bitter on the back end with just the right amount of malt/sweetness balance. A really good beer that becomes a great one as the beer warms and the flavors really start to pop. Leaves the tongue in tact but begs you to drink more. Can't wait to have this offering each year.

I love Sierra Nevada and have alot of respect for them and this beer stays true to there style,poured into a standard pint glass a clear medium to full copper with a big fluffy,clingy white head that left multiple globs of lace as it settled very slowly.That big Cascade presence is really shown in the nose very piney and resiny with some leaf and mild earthiness there as well a sweet caramel note shows thru but is light.Beautiful hop presence on the palate it isnt over the top on the hops just good piney citrusy hop intertwined with some caramel-biscuit malt the hops obviously win out but it just is so easy going down.I would say if this was always available this would be my fridge beer much like Bridgeport IPA in my mind very quaffable and true to the breweries hoppy roots.

Orangy with a thick, creamy head.
Aroma is piney, minty, with a fresh, mellow hoppiness.
It has a clean hoppy taste. Fruity, fairly simple, but does the job. Focused on cascade hop oils and finishes only slighty bitter.
Sierra Anniversary is medium bodied and a solid "sessionable" IPA. Also, proof that Sierra knows their hops. If you haven't, give it a try.

This is a crystal clear copper beer with a great hade that fades slow and leaves gobs of sudsy lace. The aroma is very simple light cascade. The taste is likewise, very simple. Very resinous cascade. Light, grippy, mouthfeel. Biscuity malt. Solid IPA.

This is a beautiful auburn pour with a nice haze about it. The head is initially an off white hue that disipates quickly and leaves an adequate amount of lace behind. The beautiful floral aromas abound in this SN offering. The malt is understated along with the alcohol. The floral hops are the star or rather the theme of this brew. The flavors are dominantly hoppy with undertone of malts and sugars. All in all this is my favorite, less expensive, brew choice of the summer. Unfortuantely in my neck of teh woods it only just made it to the stores. If you want a great bodied beer with good hop character and top notch "drinkability", I would suggest this offering from SN to anyone.

A - Hazy, amber with a nice high off-white head with medium carbonation. The head hangs around for awhile and has some nice lacing.
S - Pretty lacking, have to put your nose way down in there to get some bread and caramel malt aroma. The hop aroma is not really even there.
T - The taste is a little better than the smell, but still lacking for Sierra Nevada. There is some hop bitterness right off the bat, but it just kind of ends there with a citrus fizzle. The biscuit malt flavours are nice but this is an IPA...I want some more hop presence.
M - Nice feel, not too dry there is some mouthfeel there but not syrupy.
D - Goes down smooth, not offensive, could drink a few...but if there are some other IPAs in the house there is a good chance I would switch it up.
Overall, this is a decent beer, but disappointing for a Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale. Sure they use Cascade hops, but this reminds me much more of a English IPA than a bold American IPA.

I was quite excited when I saw an anniversary beer from Sierra Nevada, one of my all time favorite breweries. And I was not disappointed at all! This is one of the most perfectly balanced beers I've ever had. It starts with the familiar dark copper color and fluffy white head that can be found on their Pale Ale. The smell was full of citrus, pine and grapefruit with a hint of caramel maltiness in the background. The flavor was outstanding with a nice mellow sweetness in the front, then the good ol' cascades hit you and you get a great hoppy rush, and then aided by the perfect carbonation and not-too-thick mouthfeel, the beer ends nice and dry and you cant wait for the next sip. Highly recommended!

Pours into my glass a slightly hazy amber orange with a half inch of off white head on top. Plenty of active carbonation and some sticky lacing. Aromas begin with a nice mix of caramel and crystal malts upfront met by a big, zesty citric, somewhat piney hops. A bit floral as well, the hops come through really nicely here along with a slight spice.
First sip brings a crisp caramel infused malt upfront with a crystal sweetness and a bit of toasted grain flavor. The hops catch up quickly with a mixture of citrus and pine. Herbal hop oils flow down with a sturdy bitterness. Some spice comes through on the back end as it finishes with some creaminess. Good stuff.
Mouthfeel is creamy and medium bodied. Good steady carbonation makes this one easy drinking beer that's full of flavor as well. This is one of my favorite Sierra Nevada releases so far and I hope they brew this one again as I'm sad I can't find it on the shelves anymore. Well worth picking up a sixer of.

Picked up a 6er last night. Its freakin' hot outside and I'm havin' me a cold beer to cool off a bit.
Yellowish, golden color. Fluffy white head. 1" thick and reduced slowly leaving lacing behind on the glass.
Some sugar and grain in the aroma. Pine and citrus rind hops. Simple but nice.
Grainy malt flavor with some light sugary caramel. Fairly bitter kick in this. Piney, herbal hops, citrus pith. Good and simple again.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied. A good bit of carbonation adds a crispness. Flavor coats the mouth and lingers for a while after the swallow.
Overall a solid beer. Nothing over the top but an easy drinker.

Another fine offering from the folks at Sierra. All these years laters, I still think that if you are drinking Sierra, the beer you are drinking is a great representation of that particular style. Sometimes extremely impressive, but never disappointing. All their beers are good baseline beers.
As for the anniversary ale. I have had this on draft and enjoyed it enough, but tasted not quite IPA-y enough for me, maybe even less so then their flagship pale. On cask at the Blind Tiger earlier this week, it was outstanding.
The appearance was slightly cloudy with a nice golden hue.
The smell actually had some hints of nutmeg, but not quite edging over into a holiday brew. The taste was like a good pale ale with a slightly nutmeg finish. It maybe was a little bit thin in the mouthfeel, but this was a good beer overall. Nice job, Sierra.

Poured into a tulip this beer produced a hazed copper color with a small, white 1 1/2 finger head. It smelled of pine, citrus and a strong malt presence. The taste didn't match the smell for me. There was a small hop presence with an even stronger malt focus. It did, however, have great lacing. The beer was above average and a great value at 7.99 a six pack. A great sessionable beer.

A 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Amber color, nice white head, good carbonation. Aroma was mostly sweet, maybe a little pine, but the fruit aroma prevailed. Nice fruity taste, a little bit of hops. Pretty nice; I'd almost think of this as a session beer.

Since becoming the insufferable beer snob that I am today, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my default beer. As long as it's on tap or in a store somewhere, I won't grumble at my less beer centric friends and family.
I gave this a try and I have to say, I am impressed.
It is like their Pale Ale on steroids. Every aspect of the Pale Ale is amped up. The appearance is slightly more opaque and copper/orange. It is heavier, the mouth feel is more substantial and satisfying. The hop profile has more bite and the citrusy sweetness is far more pronounced.
I get a little bit of the malt on the back end and its a nice, quick, grainy taste that adds character.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a new look at an old standby.
Sierra has to be commended in general for their place in craft beer history and they have done themselves proud with this one.

A: Slightly cloudy copper/amber color. Thick foamy head with slow dissipation.
S: Light hoppy smell.
T: High on IBUs, for sure. Almost a hop exclusive flavor with a strong bitterness on the back.
M: Swishing it around the mouth reveals a little more carbonation than preferred. Otherwise, it is a smooth fluid.
D: Heavy flavor makes for a slow drinking beer. You wouldn't want a lot of these and it is not as refreshing as other beers. It does serve as a good reminder of what good beer is though.

Appearance - Pours a crystal clear, light amber color with great, creamy head.
Smell - grassy, piny hops, slightly metallic, sweet malts
Taste - nice balance between the malt & hops, pine, kind of metallic hop prescence, not a huge hop bite
Mouthfeel - medium bodied, good carbonation, doesnt finish dry at all
Drinkability - Pretty good beer...was expecting a little more but still good. Enjoyable.

Bottle pours a hazy, golden amber body with a medium almond hued head that retains well and deposits some lavish lacing on the glass. Nice looker!
Aroma is classic Cascades hops. Lots of grapefruit, kissed by pine resins. A hint of melted caramel underneath.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with an appropriate level of medium carbonation. Some hop resins are felt.
Taste is certainly on the bitter hoppy side of the scale. The Cascades shine brightly here, with grapefruit essence and pine resin up front. Just a hint of malty sweetness to keep things in check.
Very worthy!

12 ouncer, no feshness info to be had..oh well....been a SNPA and family fan and consumer since god knows when (probably since around '80, label says 1980-2007) this one pours apricot/almond amber, with a slightly oily,olive sheen, if ya know what I mean, clear with a long lasting light tan head, that leaves plenty of fine bubble sheeting/lacing. Nose is solidly of hoppy resins. On the tongue, I get plenty of American style hoppy bitterness, riding along the spine of a full bodied brew. Malt noted, but certaintly understated here. Dry, hoppy finish finishes the ride. I like it. Nice brew, fine hoppy sessioner. Here's to many more beers and years of brewing from SN.

Appearance: 1 inch head, clear, orange-brown, high carbonation
Smell: hops, pine, and some spiciness
Taste: some caramel malt, big dose of pine and grapefruit, some spices
Mouthfeel: bitter throughout with a touch of malt balance, medium bodied, high carbonation
Drinkability: This beer is unapologetically hoppy. If I want a hop filled beer with a small dose of malt, this is it. This is very good for the style and if I were a hop lover, I would want several. For me, one will do, but I appreciate a good effort.

2008 vintage. Not sure how this is going to taste with this much age on it.
The beer pours a hazy brown-orange color with a white head. The aroma is toffee, flowers, oranges and other citrus notes. The flavor is bready malt, toffee, flower and oranges. Low bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Purchased at the Foodery in Northern Liberties. Pours amber with a one inch head. Has a faint hoppy smell. The taste is very balanced in malt vs. hops and is a little sweet. It is tasty but a borderline pale ale instead of a true IPA IMO since the hops are a bit light. Very drinkable and smooth in mouthfeel. A solid brew.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Clear amber-orange with a creamy head that leaves slight lacing. SN beers always look good.
Smell: Citrus, pine and toasted malt. Smells bitter.
Taste: Slightly sweet citrus and toast, with a nice bitter pine counterbalance. Finishes quite bitter as expected, but some sweetness remains through the end of each sip (unusual for an IPA).
Feel: Moderate carbonation, relatively light body for an IPA but has a smooth creaminess to it. Finishes mostly dry.
Drinkability: Light and refreshing, but bitter, everyday IPA. Seems like this should be year round and the Torpedo should be seasonal. Of course, both are great and I prefer the Torpedo, so it all works out.
Does this beer actually change each year? Seems pretty similar, although the use of sustainable Cascade hops may be new this year. Just not sure why this gets an update each year and Celebration does not.

Clear copper pour with a short white head. Looks like a lighter version of their pale ale. Big Cascade hop nose, with pine and grass. Crisp hop bite, definietly leans toward the English IPA style. Astringent pine hops without the resin taste. More grapefruit than in the nose and a nice malt backbone. Clean finish. Much better the their other IPA.

Clear,medium,amber/copper color with a 1' thick very creamy off white head,decent retention. Little carbination with a few very tiny bubbles staggering to the surface.Had a hard time twisting off the cap,force of habit on this one,used to twist-off even said use opener on cap. Poured into my Mad Elf glass once the cap was removed.
Moderate/delicate aromas, very pleasing and fresh/clean. Floral with citrusy notes,some pine and a hint of grapefruit. A nice light sweet carmell maltiness in the background.
Citrusy with bits of pine,grassy with a slight citrus rind edge,also grassy with some slight leafyness.Very nice balance with a pleasing sweet carmell maltiness.Finishes with a clean,juicy light citrus rind feel. Very refreshing,smooth,pleasing tartness is refreshing.Smooth,enjoyable and highly drinkable.
Hope they make this all the time,would love to have on my draft system if avalible. Could drink all night. On the light side for an IPA more like a great pale ale. Enjoyed it neverless,would recomend giving this beer a try while you can.

12oz bottle poured in a pilsner glass.
Pours a nice cloudy dull golden color with a huge fluffy head. Nose is very hoppy and citriusy, nice IPA spice to it.
Nice and hoppy, but the light mouthfeel is bringing it down. Quite watery and light. Good for a standard IPA, but nothing too special here.

The $500,000 Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes (G1), at 1 1/2 miles on the inner turf course, is the highlight turf race of the Saratoga meeting and is a major prep for horses targetting the Breeders' Cup Turf. Expansion, winless since the Red Smith Handicap (G3) last November, was sent off as the 9-5 choice in the field of 9 off two consecutive third place finishes in the Manhattan (G1) and Man o'War (G1). Bearpath, fourth in the Man o'War, was the 4-1 second choice over Sunset Handicap (G3) winner Marlang at 9-2.
Marlang was sent to the front first time down the backstretch under new jockey John Velazquez, and he set easy fractions of 24.28, 48.27, 1:13.23, and 1:36.62 while saving ground on the hedge around all three turns. Interpatation and Al Khali stalked him second and third, with Expansion close behind them fourth. Turning for home, Marlang tired badly and faded to finish last, allowing Al Khali to inherit the lead at the top of the lane through 1 1/4 miles in 2:00.76. Last year's winner and 10-1 shot Telling, fifth early, came through on the inside, outfinishing Bearpath in the final furlong to win by 1 1/2 lengths in 2:25.29 over firm turf. It was another 1 1/4 length back to Al Khali third, while favorite Expansion finished 5th.

Recruiting rankings are pointless, but none the less ESPN has updated their recruiting rankings. Kendall Stephens has fallen to #66 in the 2013 class and it listed as the #16 shooting guard in the class. Bryson Scott is the #33 shooting guard, and Basil Smotherman is the #33 small forward. I tend to believe the individual position rankings are more important than the overall rankings as they show a truer comparison of talent due to similar skill sets.
For comparison I went back and looked at how current members of the team were ranked.
The Freshman: Ronnie was the #18 PG, Ray-D was #15 SG, Jay Simpson was #33 PF, and AJ hammons was #19 center.
The 2011 class had Lawson as the #26 PF
2010 Travis Carroll #27 PF and Donnie Hale #34 PF. TJ was #34 SG and A. Johnson was #54 SG.
2009 DJ Byrd #25 SG, Chooch was #15 C. The defunct GDB was #43 SF and Bade #80 PF
There has been alot of criticism of Painter's recruiting lately but when you look at the level of players he has signed, he's consistently been in the the top 20-40 at each position. I personally don't think we as Purdue fans should be asking for much more. The incoming class is very similar, when looked at in the scope of the positional national talent level to our current players. I keep reading that when next years class gets here we'll be much better (I believe we will too) but it's all in terms of development once they get on campus, and how much stock you put into recruiting service rankings!

For as far back as current Palatine Township officials can track, there has not been a primary amongst either Democrats or Republicans, according to Township Supervisor Linda Fleming.
But on February 26, 2013, a primary will be held to sort out which Republicans will face the Democrats in the general election, and it's going to be expensive for taxpayers.
And it could be an expensive one for taxpayers. Fleming said she has seen estimates that the primary election alone could cost as much as $100,000 for Cook County taxpayers.
Palatine Township Committeeman Aaron Del Mar, who chose to hold the primary, disagrees.
"I don't agree it would cost that much. I do understand the cost associated with holding a primary, but we must give people more of a choice. If not, you are letting a select few people continue to hold seats with a rubber stamp of approval," Del Mar said.
In a follow-up call to Cook County Clerk David Orr's office, Spokesperson Courtney Greve said with 69 precincts, early voting, delivery, polling costs and U.S. mail voting, the estimated cost for Palatine Township would actually be closer to $125,000.
Del Mar said after vetting all the candidates who are now on the ballot for the February 2013 primary, the Palatine Township Republican Organization chose to endorse a slate.
"We as an official organization vetted and reviewed all the candidates, and chose a mix of people who have a strong outlook for the future and have served the township and the community well," Del Mar said.
Supervisor Fleming announced Tuesday she has filed to run for a third term, and was running on a slate with Terry Kelly for assessor, John Powers for highway commissioner, and Chris Adrian, Vince Farina, John Mathias, and Debbie McGuire for trustee.
Del Mar said the Palatine Township Organization offically recognizes only one slate on the primary ballot. That includes:
Sharon Langlotz-Johnson for supervisor, Tom Kaider for highway commissioner, Kathy Allegretti for clerk, and Bill Pohlman, Art Goes, Kevin McGrane and Bill Huley for trustee.
Meanwhile, incumbent Palatine Township Clerk Lisa Moran plans to run alone, and Kevin O'Connell, Julie Ann Johnson and Jason Hillenbrand all will be running for trustee on the same ticket, according to Fleming.
Democrats, on the other hand, have chosen to have a caucus and will present their full list of candidates for the April 9, 2013 general election.
However the primary turns out, the top vote-getters for supervisor, highway commissioner, assessor, clerk, and four trustee seats will move on to the general election to face the democratic slate.
"It could be a mixed outcome, and that will be because those are the candidates voters want to see represent them," Del Mar said.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated to reflect information provided after initial publication by Cook County David Orr's office regarding the estimated cost to Cook County taxpayers to hold the February 2013 primary.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Quinn!
Facts about Quinn
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Dutch Shepherd Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Quinn's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
**Quinn is a courtesy post. If you have any questions about her or are interested in making her part of your family, please email Kimberlee at firstname.lastname@example.com**
Quinn was found dumped in a ditch with her siblings when they were around 3 months old and were picked up by a family of good samaritans. Quinn is now 8 months and is looking for a family all of her own! She is great with other dogs, cats, and kids. She has lots of playful energy and just wants to give and receive love. Housetraining and already been started.
Other Pets at Operation Education
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Quinn, a Christiana Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Dutch Shepherd puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Dutch Shepherd for sale in Christiana, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Dutch Shepherd puppy from a breeder in Christiana.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Christiana already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Christiana breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Dutch Shepherd breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Dutch Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Christiana paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hey guys!
Is there already a We Ain't Got No History Fantasy Football league? If there isn't, is anyone interested? The season starts tomorrow (obviously) and I'm keen to pit my wits against all my heros and colleagues on here.
I usually play the Premier League official version, mainly because it's free to play. The likelihood of ever winning the top prizes on the paid ones is ridiculous.
Hit me back if you know of a pre-existing league, otherwise I'll happily make one for people to join.

Photo shoots! I hate when people discriminate them. Especially self-important, so-called feminists, who are always discriminating photo shoots with their ignorant concerns about the male gaze and sexual objectification and the implicit and explicit controlling of female sexuality in terms of male needs.
"I think they suffer from lack of knowledge and tunnel vision. How many of those self-important, so-called 'feminists' have been on the set when a celebrity shot a Playboy spread? There you go. What is feminist about discriminating a photo shoot just because it involves female (partial) nudity that happens to give men pleasure? Pathetic," Krupa told Tarts in an exclusive interview.I don't know what "Tarts" is, but I hope she was talking to a pastry.
Honestly, this is just one of those times when the jokes, they write themselves:
"Our society is used to judging content by its package and label. The word 'Playboy' alone doesn't exactly give most women a warm, fuzzy feeling, yet many of the Playboy photos end up in the most praised photo and art magazines and in critically acclaimed photo exhibitions," Krupa said.Our society does judge content by its package and label. Partly because entities like Playboy have so over-branded and over-marketed a pornified version of human sexuality that we can't conceive of anything outside the box. (Pardon the usage.) But really, Krupa, why worry about that? After all, being in Playboy is basically like posing for Degas.
Of course, getting worked up about Playboy is an exercise in futility. The magazine is declining on its own, and Hugh Hefner's continued dedication to embarrassing himself is more sad than anything else. I think pornography can be feminist, but I wonder if it's actually possible for anything close to patriarchy-challenging, female-empowering content to come out of the brand. There are a number of women who work in high-ranking positions at Playboy, but I think the whole Playboy empire is fairly blind to its own overall male-oriented shittiness.
And so I would ask Krupa: do you mainly find your photographs sexy and empowering because they are and feel sexy and empowering to you, as a woman, on your own terms? Or mainly because they make you feel attractive to men, or because you think they will make men attracted to you? I would suspect, given Krupa's snarky dismissal of feminism, that she has not spent a lot of time thinking critically about what she's doing.
Of course everyone wants to feel attractive to the people they're attracted to, and I'm hardly saying that we need to all go around with bags on our heads if we're going to be good feminists--but the modern concept of sexuality is so couched in male needs, it's hard to separate a distinct, female sexuality (which could very well include something Playboy-like, but from a female perspective or impetus) from the tits-and-ass schlock of mainstream porn.

Remember in elementary school when you had to bring a treat in on your birthday? Then after we would always get to play "Heads Up Seven Up". Which is obviously the best game of all time.
If you aren't familiar with the game, let me explain. Seven kids would be chosen from the class and all the others would sit at their desks with the heads down so they couldn't see anything. The chosen seven would then walk around the class and tap one person each on the shoulder. Once everyone had tapped someone, they would all go up to the front of the class.
The kids sitting at their desks who had been tapped would then try to choose who tapped them on the shoulder. If they chose correctly, their tapper had to sit down and they got a chance to be one of the coveted seven.
Why is this the best game ever? Cause I always won. Well, I'm not sure there's a "winner", really….because as far as I can remember we just played a few rounds and then we were done. But I always guessed who my tapper was.
How? Well, obviously I'm psychic and I can just feel the person's aura. Either that or I peaked at the person's shoes. Okay, I definitely peaked at the person's shoes. I was a terrible child.
Honestly, now that I'm writing this, Heads Up Seven Up seems like the dumbest game in the history of the world. Who invented it and why is there not even a winner? Kids are weird.
All This To Say…
My birthday is tomorrow!
Where I work, they're keeping the tradition of elementary school alive by making you bring in a treat on your birthday. Doesn't really make sense to me. It's my birthday…why do I have to do the work? Bring me a dang treat!
It's okay, though…I'm trying to be treat-free on days that aren't Saturday. So, I originally was just thinking, "Screw this, I'll just buy a thing of cupcakes and that way I won't have to do any work." But then I realized that giving people food that I wouldn't eat and don't particularly think they should be eating is kind of rude and against my principles.
My second thought was to go all out and bake something really fantastic that's grain free and low in sugar. But then I decided I didn't want to do that much work and that I didn't want to have to go to the grocery store.
I finally decided to make something with ingredients that I already had at my house. The ingredients I managed to scrounge up were: Hickory Nuts, Coconut Sugar, Coconut Oil, an 85% dark chocolate bar, and some sea salt. The resulting treat was Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Cups with Roasted Hickory Nuts.
Hickory Nuts
I guess you can't buy hickory nuts at a store. I'm not sure why…maybe because they're so delicious. My dad has a hickory tree and for Christmas he gave me a huge bag of the nuts. They taste similar to pecans but to me they're also kind of maple-y. I don't know, they're delicious. If you're dad isn't as cool as mine, I'd suggest using pecans in this recipe.
Because I used dark chocolate, the cups aren't very sweet. My roommate described them as, "alarming but good" because she expected it to be sweeter. So don't expect it to be sweet or just use sweeter chocolate for a sweeter version.
- 1 Cup of Hickory Nuts or Pecans
- 1 TBSP of Coconut Oil (for roasting nuts)
- 1 85% Dark Chocolate Bar
- Sea Salt
- 1/2 Cup of Caramel (I used this recipe to make my own with coconut sugar)
- Cupcake Liners
- Parchment Paper
- Optional: Roast the Hickory Nuts
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet
- Put hickory nuts in a pile on the middle of the cookie sheet.
- If your coconut oil isn't melted, heat it up so it's in liquid form.
- Pour coconut oil over nuts and mix them up to coat nuts evenly.
- Spread nuts out on cookie sheet so they're even.
- Put nuts in oven and cook for 15 minutes.
- After the 15 minutes, take them out and complete the rest of the recipe...
- Break up the chocolate bar and put it in a double boiler. You can easily make a double boiler by using a pot and a slightly smaller pot, as shown in the above pictures. Just put some water in the bottom pot and the chocolate in the top pot and put it on medium heat. If you aren't that ritzy, you could also melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave.
- Melt the chocolate.
- Once the chocolate is all melted pour the chocolate into cupcake liners so that it forms an even layer covering the bottom.
- Put hickory nuts or pecans into the chocolate. I just did an even layer covering the surface of the chocolate.
- Once you have all your cups filled with chocolate and nuts, pour caramel over the top of each cup. You can use as little or as much as you like. More caramel will make the cup sweeter.
- Sprinkle a small amount of sea salt on the top of each cup. (Just a couple granules...don't do too much or it'll be too salty.)
- Place in the fridge so that they'll harden.
- These will melt easily so you should probably just store them in the fridge.
- Enjoy!

A sommelier or wine steward is a person who is an expert in fine wine and is responsible for serving it to patrons. Sommelier is French in origin and originally a wine steward's job was to serve royalty. Modern sommeliers offer their services to fine restaurants. A sommelier should know detailed information about wine including such things as the types of grapes used to make a particular wine, in what region the grapes were grown, the vineyards where the grapes were grown, a wine's rating, and the vintages of various wines.
In addition to serving wine, a wine steward has several other responsibilities. These responsibilities include:
Many sommeliers travel all over the world to taste new wine and to attend food and wine conventions. A good wine expert will know all the current trends in the food and wine industry. He or she will also help patrons to feel comfortable with tasting wines and help them choose a delicious wine in their price range. Sommeliers can also learn more about wine through the opinions of their customers.
In short, a good sommelier will be able to make the customer's dining experience memorable by suggesting wines that will enhance the flavour of the food that they are eating.
Would you make a good sommelier? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
One can gain some general knowledge and experience with wine by doing such things as getting a job as a waiter or waitress in an upscale restaurant, working for a wine retailer, obtaining a job pouring wine in a winery tasting room and simply talking to wine experts.
The International Sommelier Guild or ISG offers courses for aspiring wine experts. Their program is a six month-long intensive program that meets eight hours a day, once per week. Their students must complete certain elective and mandatory courses to get the Grand Sommelier Diploma.
The Court of Master Sommeliers is an internationally known organization that offers training to existing wine stewards who would like to become masters in their fields. Founded in Great Britain, this organization administered their first exam in 1969. To meet this goal, one must complete all the following steps:
After successfully completing all the above steps, one may receive an invitation to join The Court of Master Sommeliers.
The Institute of Masters of Wine, which was also founded in Great Britain, has offered a Master of Wine Certification to those persons who complete their program and successfully pass their exam. There are only about 264 Master of Wine certificate holders and only 140 Master Sommeliers around the entire world.
Although many sommeliers work in upscale restaurants, there are many other places and ways he/she can earn his or her money as well. These include:

The last OT thread that was properly titled as such quickly fell off the list, the sidebar post that unofficially became the next OT has also fallen victim to a similar fate. I recently changed my mind about topics for discussion, previously I just chucked something in here that I found interesting since I firmly believed people will talk about whatever the hell they're going to talk about. Upon further review, I'm starting to believe that topics are often the seeds for some interesting conversation. Not that LL is a chat room!
Billy Bob Thornton has a band the Boxmasters. I've enjoyed some of BBT's acting work, but I would really hate to interview him. What a cock, this gives the Joaquin Phoenix appearance on David Letterman a run for it's money. Cosmic cowboy music, WTF?
The television shows I was following via Netflix are all on indefinite hold, even though I know several of them have been released. Is this an outcome of the writer's strike?
I'm actively rooting for the entire cast of Lost to die, except for perhaps Jin.
There's been a lot of novels adapted to the big screen, some notable others not so much. Elmore Leonard writes some incredibly snappy dialogue, hip protagonists, sexy locations. Out of Sight, Get Shorty, Hombre, Jackie Brown are all adapted from his novels. Favorite adaptations? Best or worst.
Zoe Bell, stunt woman extraordinaire, ooooh la la! Online series, just found it and haven't watched it yet. Angel of Death.
Video games, computers, virus protection, interesting websites, weird pics, items that make everybody go AHHHHHHH!!!!

SSL VPNs made simple
The enKoo-3000 meets the remote access needs of smaller shops
You can always tell when a particular technology begins to gain momentum by the availability of lower-cost alternatives to the bleeding-edge, high-end devices. One company that is specifically targeting the SMB SSL VPN market is enKoo, whose enKoo-3000 Remote Access Appliance provides access to Web-based and TCP-based applications, Windows and Unix file shares, terminal servers, and users' desktop PCs via 128-bit encrypted SSL streams. Although it lacks much of the granular access control and end-point management found in the high-end SSL VPN appliances, it makes up for it in ease-of-use and ease-of-deployment.
From shrink-wrapped to operational, the enKoo-3000 took me less than 30 minutes to install. Initial setup of the appliance only required setting a static IP address -- IP address was assigned via DHCP initially -- and time, date, and time zone. The install wizard also includes a detailed set of instructions for configuring your firewall/router to forward traffic to the enKoo appliance from outside the network.
Unlike enterprise-class SSL VPN appliances such as the Aventail EX-1500 and the Juniper SA-5000, the enKoo-3000 does not include any VLAN or other advanced IP routing features, nor can the appliance be provisioned into multiple virtual servers. To be fair, the enKoo-3000 isn't trying to play at the high end of the SSL VPN market. User management is also sparse, supporting only an internal user database in the release I tested. According to enKoo, support for Active Directory and LDAP will soon become available as a free upgrade. To prevent any chance of someone gaining access to user names and passwords on the appliance, the local user database is encrypted using 3DES.
At your service
As do other SSL VPN appliances, the enKoo-3000 serves up a Web portal for remote user log-in. For Web-based applications, users simply click on the Web Apps button to access a list of predefined Web resources. Using the Web Apps connector, the enKoo-3000 rewrites the HTML stream as it passes through the appliance, and I found it can adversely affect how your Web application functions.
For example, I created three links to different Web apps: OWA (Outlook Web Access) 2000, OWA 2003, and a "homegrown" Active Server Pages application I use for tracking software keys. I accessed each site using Internet Explorer 6, and the enKoo's HTML rewrite engine failed to reproduce the two OWA sites correctly. My homegrown application worked fine, but OWA didn't work or look as it should.
To get the true OWA experience, I had to configure both services using an alternate service called the Secure Application Connector. Whereas Web Apps is a pure HTML rewrite/reverse proxy engine, the Secure Application Connector uses a Java client to cleanly pass all TCP traffic through the appliance. The downside to using the Secure Application Connector for Web-based applications is that the HTML content is not inspected and rewritten, so it's potentially less secure. enKoo stated that support for premium Web applications such as OWA will be available in the Web Apps connector sometime in the first quarter of this year.

BATON ROUGE, La. – Recently, "The Golden Band from Tigerland" received national recognition on the top 10 list of "The Best Marching Bands For 2011-12," by The Huffington Post.
"Marching bands are awesome," Huffington Post writer Anna Susman wrote in the article. "This invaluable part of the college football experience gets the crowd amped up, and generates competitive spirit between the two schools battling from supremacy. The following colleges have nurtured marching bands that always impress, always excite and always showcase their full talent."
While the list does not give specific rankings for each school, the Tiger Marching Band is displayed as the third band in a slideshow presentation on the Huffington Post's website.
"The Golden Band from Tigerland out of Louisiana State University, dazzles audiences with their consistent talent and their Golden Girls," the article reads. "The band received the Sudler Trophy in 2002, and in 2008 won a contest sponsored by ESPN, Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm called 'Battle of the Bands.'"
The Tiger Marching Band joins other university marching bands on the list representing universities such as fellow Southeastern Conference members Texas A&M University and the University of Tennessee Knoxville, as well as those from the University of Texas, University of Southern California, Ohio State University, University of Michigan, Florida A&M University, University of Notre Dame and West Virginia University.
"The LSU Tiger Band is delighted to be selected as one of the top ten college marching bands of 2011-2012," said LSU Director of Athletic Bands Roy King. "It is an honor to be in the company of the other marching bands who were selected. Congratulations to the directors, staff and students of these fine organizations for all the hard work they do to represent their universities in such a prestigious manner."

First Great Western propose changes to rail services after wild weather
7:00am Saturday 15th March 2014 in News
First Great Western has announced that it will begin a formal timetable consultation on proposed changes to rail services to Devon and Cornwall.
response to customer and stakeholder demand.
First Great Western Managing Director Mark Hopwood said: "After the tough times in recent weeks, First Great Western has been considering how it can improve the train service between London and key destinations in Devon and Cornwall.
"Working with Network Rail and the Department for Transport we have developed proposals that could deliver improvements from December 2014 onwards."
The current 0706 Paddington to Paignton service would run to Plymouth and key stations in Cornwall; achieving around a 40 minute earlier arrival than today's first London train at Totnes (1007), Plymouth (1035) and through to Penzance (1237).
The present 0730 service from London Paddington to Penzance would run to Paignton via Bristol, retaining London connectivity, but with the added advantage of improved connectivity from South Wales and Bristol to Torbay. Torbay and Exeter would gain a 19 minute journey time improvement, with the present 1106 Paignton-London train leaving later and still arriving in London Paddington at 1454.
From Cornwall, high speed services to London would be more evenly spread through the day. New journey opportunities would be created by the introduction of a 11.33 Paddington to Exeter service and a 14.53 Exeter to London service.
There would be a number of consequential changes to local services in Devon and Cornwall.
In advance of this consultation FGW has announced that it has reached agreement with DfT on a number of timetable changes that it will be introducing in May. These changes will "provide for additional strengthening of services across the West of England in the summer".
Features include more capacity on the Cornish and Devon branches and use of a loco-hauled train between Par and Exeter on summer Saturdays.

AFC Bournemouth: O'Kane hopes to retain starting slot
6:00am Monday 10th March 2014 in Sport By Andy Mitchell
EUNAN O'Kane admitted the circumstances of his return to the Cherries starting line-up were "not ideal" but hoped to have done enough to keep his place.
The midfielder was restored to Eddie Howe's first XI at Blackpool after remaining on the bench for the 5-0 win over Doncaster and missing the 1-0 defeat to Derby due to a hip injury.
O'Kane's appearance in the 1-0 win over Blackpool was his 27th of the season and came after Harry Arter was ruled out with calf problem.
And O'Kane has his fingers crossed that he can keep hold of a starting berth, despite strong competition for places in central midfield.
He told the Daily Echo: "From a personal point of view it was a little bit frustrating that I didn't get straight back in against Doncaster, but I think it would have been very harsh on anyone who played against Derby to miss out.
"I got my chance on Saturday because H, unfortunately, had a little bit of a niggle but hopefully, now I can keep my place in the team.
"It was not nice to have a team-mate out injured but I was ready to play. It wasn't ideal circumstances to get back into the team in that way but that's what a squad game is about.
"You've got to be ready for anything and everything and it's about taking your chance when it comes along."
The 23-year-old conceded that the style of football on show at Bloomfield Road on Saturday was not pleasing on the eye but stressed that Cherries' mental strength had shone through in a game in which they had to scrap constantly.
He said: "It probably wasn't as pretty as what people saw against Doncaster last week, but if we won every single game this season playing that way, I don't think anyone would complain.
"It's the ugly side of the game that we did well. Maybe five or six months ago we'd have come away with a draw or got beat in the final minute, so I think it showed the character of the squad and how far we've come since the start of the season.
"I don't think there were too many places this year where we have gone and won very ugly. The aim before we came here was to get three points and one way or another, we got them."

News: Dr. Dre's Protege Co-Signs Rap Game Escape, "He Gave Us Eminem, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Game"
Tuesday, Nov 22, 2011 4:00PM
With the recent announcement that Dr. Dre plans to take an extended break from the music scene, Aftermath Records' Slim the Mobster says he is fully behind his mentor.
In Slim's perspective, the Doc has put in enough work over the past 27 years to enable him to kick back and relax.
"For the past time that I've been around, I know for a fact that [Dre] hasn't been out the studio long. Let him have a break," Slim said in an interview. "He gave us Eminem and 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Game, he gave us so many different things in his time. There are some rappers who haven't gave us nothing. So, let the man have fun now." (MTV)
Recently, Slim hit up SOHH and gave his thoughts on carrying the Aftermath legacy.
"Yeah, I mean, it feels good. We were all just in the studio the other day, me, Kendrick [Lamar] and Dre and the energy was just there," Slim told SOHH when asked about holding up the Aftermath flag. "Me and Kendrick know each other from previous situations. Where he grew up, my lived there. I know who he is, he knows who I am. We just made it into something big. This is what I work for. With me, I have to really prove my point because I've been signed so long but it feels like I've done nothing. When I say 'nothing,' I mean I haven't done anything that's been Slim-motivated. It's been in the lure of of Detox and Dr. Dre. I feel like right now, it's my time." (SOHH)
Last week, Dre said outside of Slim and Kendrick, he has no immediate music obligations.
"These are the next two artists I'm working on, Slim the Mobster and Kendrick Lamar. I think that's when I'm gonna just wrap it up for a minute because I've been working on music for 27 years now and the longest I've ever been out of the studio in 27 years has been two weeks," Dr. Dre said in an interview. "So yeah I feel like I'm gonna take a little bit of a break. I'm never gonna stop music, it's like air to me. So I'mma take a little bit of a break. Enjoy some time with the family til I get that itch to get back in." (FADER TV)
In October, Slim gave SOHH his reaction to being one of two primary Aftermath focuses for the Doc.
"I've been knew that," Slim jokingly told SOHH when informed about Dre's primary focus on him and Kendrick Lamar. "I knew that months ago. It never changed how I am or who I am. I mean, things change but I'm not trying to change too much. I don't want it to be as if [Dr. Dre's pledge] gives me my confidence. Confidence comes from what I do. Despite who I'm with, that's where my confidence comes from. [Dre's words are] like a boost, but I never had the vision in my head, 'Because Dre this, Dre that,' nah, I still got work to do." (SOHH)
