Growler obtained from Stone Brewing. Poured into a Stone chalice. Beer was a cloudy amber color, with a one-finger, tan head. Very thick lacing lacing and moderate carbonation.
Aroma was grapefruit, citrus, caramel, malt, toffee and pine.
Taste was citrus, sweet malt, bitter hops and bread.
Has help up really well. Well balanced and drinking very well.

Its been a few years since I have had the chance to have an Old Guardian its nice to see the 2007 vintage available in my area.Poures a clear burnt orange-like color with a large craterous head that leaves a nice ring behind.Big balanced aromas juicy,fruity malt almost like holiday season fruit caked soaked with alcohol the alcohol esters really show thru a big resiny hop profile shows thru more and more as it warms.Warming and chewey this almost a meal in itself definently not one to drink quickly,flavors could use some time to meld I think its pretty brash right now sweeter cakey malt flavors dominate upfront along with some dark fruit melding into dry resiny and I measn resiny finish.The alcohol warms the insides as it goes down its very pronounced and really kicks,Iam holding one and will drink it in the fall and see how this puppy ages right now its no holds barred and from Stone thats how I want it to be.

Poured a clear dark orange with a finger and a half of head into a snifter from a 22 ounce bomber. Head dissapates to almost nothing as I wait for it to warm a bit. Gives me time to read the novel on the back of the bottle...the brewer writes well, if about nothing in particular.
The aroma doesnt seem to be the showcase here, and that's clearly evident once I take my first sip. As I swirl and it warms, cherry cheesecake and sweet pastry grace the olfactory nerves. Some caramel and cereal scents pull through. I continue to wonder why I chill big beers. Room temperature or close to it is optimal for this one.
The tenacious assault of bitterness upon the first sip of cool beer gradually eases as the aroma strengthens with warmth. Maybe my palette was obliterated, but the hops dont seem overboard anymore for a barleywine of this size, as noted in some other reviews. The 11.26% is actually hidden fairly well, except in my extremities, which were quite chilly just minutes earlier. Hmmmm...
I refill my snifter with the remains of the warmed bottle with a vigourous pour. Three fingers of beige foamy head take much longer to subside, and leave some modest lacing. Head still doesn't cover the liquid, but doesn't completely clear either.
The mouthfeel is very smooth, syrupy and inviting. It's sweetness makes me pucker and my stomach is being eaten away by the alcohol so I doubt I'd be OK if I had more than one of these.
The best judge of a beer is the way you feel when you've finished it. I feel like I wish I'd bought two.

Pours a light amber, not much head, some lacing. Virtually no carbonation in glass.
Gotta take a big whiff to get the citrusii wine smell. Good once you get it.
Stone hops, barley wine. Can taste the alcohol. Not bad ABV, strong and tasty.
Kinda syrupy. Smooth, but maybe a little thick.
Overall a very nice brew. Maybe not something I would have a lot of due to ABV, but a good changeup. I think this BW is defined by the Stone Hops.

Stone Old Guardian
Limited Early 2007 Release
Purchased @ New Beer Distributors, NYC, NY. $6.00. 22 ounce Stone style bomber. Poured into a Belgian style snifter/tulip kind of thing and after a small initial glass, its clear that this yet more fine brew from Stone, very pleasant to sip right now and clearly with the potential to be aged for a few years. Pours cloudy, dull, orangey amber, with a typical tan head that leaves nice scattered lacing. Nose is all about buttery, malty good ness, with a sneaky undercoating of resiny hopping. Full bodied nectar, with notes of more soft butter, maple, whole wheat nutty toast with a orange marmalade hint. Warming and complex, with those resiny/pine hope notes again subtly in the background and finish. Fine stuff, drink it now or in a year or two Stone Brewery overrated? Please

Poured a nice amber color with a strong head that lasted very well and left good lacing. Smell had more grassyness to it than I recall from last years version. There was still some sweet caramel underneath, but I think the malt would come in more with age. Taste was much of the same, maybe slightly better. Grassy, but did have a malt base underneath, which led me to believe that this one should become much better. Fairly high carbonation with a medium body. This one was not as drinkable as most beers I have from Stone. I'll say it again, I think this will develop very nicely, as the 2006 did, but it's not there yet.

64oz Growler poured into a hill farmstead tulip, found at Pearl Street Beverage in Burlington! Huge thanks for them putting this on the Growler bar!
Pours a fairly unfortunate hazy, muddy amber brown wig a small light yellow head that settles quickly. Nose is really malty and rich - caramel and an almost honey and oats note that's really nice.
Taste is simply fantastic, no surprise but age has done this beer a lot of good! Not hot at all, rich and mellow with that honey and oat finish that was on the nose. Light carbonation and a dry finish. Very good beer!

Escondido, CA
02-20-2011 Sunday Funday Growler Fills
(Aged 4 years at the brewery)
A murky and cloudy deep copper. Very thin milky brown head with small bubbles. Leaves not so much rings of lacing as sheets of it.
Orange citrus hops, cherries, and lemon in the nose. A sugary caramel sweetness as well.
The bitterness from the hops have faded and what's left is just the essence of citrus hop flavors. These are accompanied by flavors of caramel malts, maple syrup, sweet dates, and old-fashioned donuts. No alcohol heat whatsoever. A fantastic sipper.
Silky yet sticky. Feels like drinking a divine dessert.
As with most decadent desserts, one is most often enough. Even without the slightest hint of alcohol, I don't find myself grabbing for more. (Until around midnight, just like with a rich dessert, and I sneak down to the kitchen for just one more!).

Appears a sunburst amber with deep crimson red edges head forms a bit thin with a light off white beige head lacing is left with each sip pretty thin but even streaks of lacing on my stone pint glass. Aroma zesty spicy floral and piney edged hops deep ripened fruit notes with glazed brown sugar and deep citrus tones, of course deep alcohol notes blended with all of the caramelized sugar notes. Even after a bit of time since the release hops still stand out just a bit more melded into the rest of the flavors coming up on almost a year of cellaring this one is drinking really nice. Sweet waves of malt sugars slight burnt with orange peels and spicy pine hop character leaves a slightly charred burnt brown sugar flavor on the palate ripened tropical fruit notes with white grape and raisin acidity, also strong assertive pine tree resin bitterness with a mellow lasting alcohol cringe. Mouthfeel is full bodied syrupy with viscosity the pure gravity of this brew is all the way detectable carbonation has a slow ample bubbling through the thick body oily resins give added bonus texture from the hops. Alcohol has really waned since the release a much smoother alcohol burn than earlier this year, but I still have layers of hop bitterness that stay with me. Drinkability incredible fresh or aged very aggressive Stone style barleywine even after a 10 months aging this beer has all of the flavor of most fresh barleywines hoppy as hell.

This beer pours a ruby red color with a light tan head that fades slowlt, leaving a decent lacing.
This beer has a very malty sweet aroma. I smell some molasses. It also has a strong hoppy aroma. Piney. The alcohol in present in the aroma as well.
This beer tastes exactly like it smells. Piney hop flavor. There is also a strong caramel malty flavor. The alcohol is present in the flavor. I taste a slight fruity flavor also. Figs I think.
This beer goes down surprisingly smooth. It is full bodied. It leaves a sweet aftertaste. It is perfectly carbonated.
I dount this beer would make the best session beer. It has an aggressive flavor, and the alcohol content is a little high.
Overall: This beer is as good as anything that Stones puts out. It is a good choice, and is definately worth it.

4.13/5 rDev -0.2%
Appearance: Nice amber color with medium head but some heavy lacing. Some carbonation is present throughout the body.
Smell: Sweet caramel malts and mild hops. Mild alcohol notes present.
Taste: The alcohol notes make themselves known in the finish but mostly the caramel and hops shine through.
Mouthfeel: Nice creamy feel, the mild carbonation is pleasant but not distracting.
Drinkability: If you can get past the minor alcohol notes in the finish this is incredibly drinkable high alcohol content beer. The hops linger nicely on the tongue while the caramel malts provide a strong backbone. I plan on buying a case of this to age. Apparently this beer does great with aging.

Thanks to my rep John for snagging this for me last year!
Pours up the color of orange marmalade/ orange blossom honey. A soapy one finger head stays then breaks down leaving medium lacing. Aroma- buttery caramel with a faint whiff of alcohol, some dried fruit-apricot maybe? Heavy malty aromas are keeping the hops down but they are there.
Mouthfeel- BIG bold barleywine flavor here. Not too sweet but you can tell the backbone is solid malt and the alcohol is present but is not too hot. A froth intensifies the hops and leaves a lingering metallic bitterness right on the back sides of the palate on the finish.
This ale has a thick resinous mouthfeel like a DIPA that just exudes all that is Stone! I do agree with mt5000 about it tasting like a barleywine and then fading towards a DIPA or IIPA. But I enjoyed that. This one was choice!

Got this on-tap at the GA release.
Pours a cloudy copper color with a one-finger cream-colored head. The head dissipates into a wispy layer of bubbles on top and a thin ring around the glass. Lacing is pretty sticky.
Smells good. Sweet malts and alcohol to go along with a mild piney hop aroma.
Tastes similar to how it smells. A big sweet malt taste up front ending with a mild piney hop flavor and bitterness. The alcohol burns just a bit on the way down and gives a nice warming sensation.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness and the carbonation is just a tad too much. Very smooth but could be smoother.
Drinkability is great. This goes down very easily for a beer with this much alcohol.
Overall this is a very good barleywine but if I had to choose I'd go with the Double Bastard as the Old Guardian seems like a more subdued version of that.

I don't often partake in Barleywines, except around winter when SN Bigfoot is an annual staple. Aside from a few other various offerings that pretty much makes up my barleywine intake. Every year I buy a few and they always linger. They're big, intense offerings that often scare me when I look into my refrigerator. So in that regard, I find them quite easy to age - not drinking it = best way to age, of course.
Old Guardian is one I try every year. So far, it's been until today nearly August for me to sample Stone's 07 offering, and to be honest, I'm not sure what drove me to try it today, but I'm certainly glad I did.
As expected this is a big beer. Chewy malt characteristics up and down with tons of hop bitterness. Not as floral as my favorite, Bigfoot, but some say that has too much hop character for a barleywine. I like lots of hops so perhaps that is what makes me so comfortable with that. This is far more balanced, which is not to say there are subtleties - everything is there and there in spades.
Wonderful caramel and bready flavors fill out the hops and chewy malts. The body is rich and full with a smooth finish. Quite tasty. Why have I waited so long to try this?

Stone- Old Guardian
Limited Early 2007 release
Appearance- Golden copper brown with a thick, creamy, sticky head. Thick lacing down the glass.
Smell- Oily green hops with grape/ plum notes. Alcohol is also present.
Taste- A quick dose of pungent hops followed with a sweet hit of fruits, raisin, prune, and cherry. Alcohol shows up in the end.
Mouthfeel- Sweet and cough medicine like from beginning to end. Slighty thick with a big hit of alcohol in the end.
Overall- This is 11.26% alc, so this is slighty potent beer here. I aged it for 4-5 months but feel that had probably little effect on it.
A good sipper for a relaxing evening or in place of wine.

Pours clear reddish/amber with a large tan head that lasts forever and leaves great lacing. The smell is pungent with a real strong "bisquity" aroma with dark fruit,hops, and alcohol. The taste is very hoppy for the style,which I like,but it's not really true to style. Bitter and citrus hops along with alcohol, malt,and some fruits. The m/f is medium with the flavors mixing well. A different b/w. More like Bigfoot than traditional b/w's and I for one really like that.

Poured from the 22oz bottle into a Chouffe tulip glass. Body is a radiant deep orange color, topped by a large, creamy white head that slowly descends to a small, creamy ring. Decent lacing on the glass.
Aroma of sweet, bready malt, tons of spicy, floral hops, and more than a little alcohol. Palate is an almost-perfect blend of huge hop flavor and assertively sweet malt. Notes of biscuit, sweet fruit, and a touch of pine are detectable, although this beer isn't exactly huge on nuance. Finishes surprisingly smooth, with little heat from the alcohol.
Body is rich and at times a bit creamy, at others a bit sticky. Dangerously drinkable, so be careful. At 11+%, this could create some havoc if you're not prepared.

Appearance: Reddish glow
Head: no head, just a small runner on the sides of the glass
Smell: Dark citrus with a big maltyness no heat
Taste: Sweet malts with a dark light citric hop and subtle warmth
Weight: Heavy body
Finish: Light biter citric with lots of stickiness on the lips
If you ask me for another I would say, yes!

22oz bomb, split in preparation for a man man/yeasayer show
appearance: poured into a 42nd street oyster bar pint glass, hazy orange-amber body with a beige froth cap
smell: smells like danger - big citrus hops as expected, big caramel malts, noticeable booze presence which prompted the recipient of the 2nd half of the bottle to ponder the abv %
taste: big and bold on all fronts...huge citrus hop bite, lush pine, thick caramel malts and strong booze undertones. grapefruit and syrupy maple balance this one out...easily could age a few more years at least, but i was thirsty
mouthfeel: syrupy and smooth, hop bite, hot alcohol
drinkability: good

4/5 rDev -3.4%
Appearance: It's a very nice dark copper color. Head is a little off-white, foamy, and about a finger and a half deep. Retention was good and a nice coat lace lined the glass.
Smell: Very sweet caramel malt aroma. Citrus scents only add to the sweetness (a healthy dose of grapefruit and some orange). Hops are certainly noticeable. Nice and piney.
Taste: Initially, it is sweet. A nice combo of the caramel malts and citrus flavors. Grapefruit adds a bit of bitterness. Hops are certainly piney and bitter, but not overly so. It's pretty well balanced by the malty flavor.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: It's medium bodied, but pretty smooth for such a big beer. At nearly 11.3%, it's definitely not a session. But, it's masked pretty well. I shelfed this one for a few months before trying and it is a little smoother and more mature than the first. I'll try another later this year perhaps. Overall, it's a good beer. Not my favorite Stone offering, but it's still a Stone.

SELBYVILLE, Del.- Delaware State Police have arrested an 18-year-old man in connection with an early Tuesday morning shooting in Selbyville.
Troopers took Devon N. Gordon into custody shortly after arriving on the scene. Officers said that around 3:20 a.m. they responded to a 911 call about a woman who was shot and found a 25-year-old female sitting outside of a car on Hosier Street with a gunshot to the head. The victim was flown to Christiana Medical Center in critical condition.
Troopers said their investigation showed that Gordon left his home around 3 a.m. and met with the 25-year-old next door neighbor. During the meeting, investigators said Gordon shot the victim once in the head.
Authorities said a 49-year-old man who lives with Gordon and his mother heard the gunshot, then heard someone banging at the front door. Officials say when he went to see what all the commotion was about, he heard another gunshot and turned to look out the back door where the glass was shattered by a bullet.
According to police, the man saw Gordon standing with a gun pointed toward him, but he was able to open the door and disarm him.
Gordon was allowed back into the house where police said he obtained another handgun. The man was again able to wrestle the weapon away from Gordon. One shot was fired but officials said it narrowly missed the man who sustained minor injuries during the struggle.
Police charged Gordon with two counts of attempted murder and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He is being held on $310,000 cash-only bond.
More charges are pending following the investigation, troopers said.

How to Succeed and Stay Afloat in the Film Industry with Actor John Hawkes
John Hawkes is one of those actors who slides under most people's radar, even though he somehow manages to be in just about everything. I first became aware of his acting prowess with his eerie portrayal of a cult leader in Sean Durkin's haunting character study, Martha Marcy May Marlene. Since then, I've noticed him in about a gazillion different films (that's the actual number), and I've come to greatly appreciate him as one of a few fantastic character actors working today. He's even been nominated for an Academy Award for his role as the meth-addled antagonist in the indie hit, Winter's Bone. Hawkes recently wrote a short piece for MovieMaker Magazine about his seven tips for surviving in the film industry, and needless to say, the seasoned veteran has some fantastic advice for up and coming filmmakers.

Remittance pays off for Lasco
BY JULIAN RICHARDSON Assistant Business Co-ordinator email@example.com
BOOSTED by the expansion of its remittance network, Lasco Financial Services increased second-quarter net profits by 174 per cent to $30.7 million for the period ending September 30, 2012.
Trading income almost doubled from $58.1 million during the 2011 second quarter to $108 million during the period under review, with the company attributing the growth to its larger remittance network.
Lasco Financial took over the MoneyGram remittance operations of Supreme Ventures Financial Services in November 2011, giving it at least 88 locations including Supreme Ventures regional retail centres, sub-agents and select post offices.
Lasco Financial said that its remittance business has grown 68 per cent, ahead of a projected 40 per cent, from the expansion of its agent network.
The cambio business has also benefited from the expansion of the remittance network, said the company, noting that the division has grown 91 per cent year-to-date, compared to the corresponding period last year.
"Remittances have a direct relationship with cambio operations as more US dollars are available for sale," said Atasha Bernard, the company's financial accountant.
Year-to-date revenues from the loans portfolio also grew 81 per cent over the 2011 September year-to-date results, the company said.
The addition of the new network also played a major part in expenses increasing in the September 2012 quarter by 60 per cent over year-earlier levels to $79.1 million. Administrative and other expenses jumped by 37 per cent to $40.7 million while selling and promotion expenses almost doubled to $38.4 million.

Hinton, WV (WVVA) "The total wow factor. When they step into the properties, they just can't imagine that this is hidden, and tucked away and that not everyone knows about it," says Stephanie Stiffler.
Something unexpected lies in the heart of Hinton's Historic Railroad Community. Established in 1898, the Guest House takes visitors back in time. Visitor at the Guest House Fred Webb said, "I was literally blown away when we came in, and I said oh my goodness we have just got to stay here, this is an incredible place!"
The Guest House is designed to be a home away from home. Offering guests all of the modern amenities, while still maintaining historic elements. Restored in 2007, eight rooms make up the Guest House, each meticulously designed to reflect the areas culture and filled with furniture from local antique shops. "We go and we try to pull those pieces in and couple them with the modern pieces so that way our guests have the feeling of the old but they also have the modernization to give them the luxury feel that they have when they stay."
For Fred Webb, staying at the Guest House, gives new life to old memories. "We said as soon as this opens we want to come back here, because my mother who was the piano teacher used to come here and visit Mrs. Timberlake who was the owner of the house, and sleep in the same room that we have been sleeping in for the last day, and occasionally when we've come back to visit in the past."
Black and white photos don the walls, giving life to Hinton's History. "My grandmother used to come and stay here before it was the guest house. So we enjoy all of the historical connections."
A unique combination of the present and the past, the Guest House offers visitors a place to feel at home.

The perfect balance of three-season warmth and light weight.
If you're looking for dependable three-season warmth while keeping pack weight light, the North Face Blue Kazoo 15-Degree Down Sleeping Bag will deliver. This sleeping bag weighs in at under three pounds, and features lofty, water-resistant goose down, strategically placed synthetic insulation pads underneath you, and water-repellent fabric to keep you comfortable in variable conditions. The goose down is highly compressible for easy packing and rebounds completely for optimal warmth, again and again. Both the lightweight and durable nylon face fabric and smooth taffeta lining are water-repellent to protect both you and the bag from heat-robbing moisture, and a draft collar helps keep your body warmth in and the cool night air out. Special vertical baffles along the sides of the bag prevent cold spots by keeping the insulation from shifting.
The Blue Kazoo's mummy shape and fitted hood keeps bulk and weight to a minimum, and optimizes warmth inside the bag and around your head. A vaulted foot box offers roomy vertical space for your feet so they don't feel trapped in place. The bag is outfitted with a non-snagging two-way zipper (nice if you're using the bag in warmer conditions and would love some fresh air around your feet), and the zipper pull glows in the dark for middle-of-the-night convenience. To keep the bag from sliding off your sleeping pad, it includes sleeping pad attachment loops. The Blue Kazoo compresses down into a 9x17-inch stuff sack for fitting inside your backpack, and when you get home, you can store it in the included larger storage sack.

Karen Sypher to Report to Jail on Wednesday
Just an FYI: Sypher's latest appeal has been denied. She has been ordered to report to federal prison (in Florida) this Wednesday. I know we have much more important things to discuss, but I just thought some of us living outside of Kentucky may not have heard and might have at least a passing interest. We can now return to our regularly scheduled programming

Hello fellow Rumblers. We are at draft day and there has been so much info given out. Some of it is real, some is fake. How can you tell what is real and what is not? How can you tell what is a smokescreen and what is smoke monster (I wonder where that thing from Lost went after the series ended).
I have done some research and here is what I have found and believe to be true:
I know WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
1. The Bills will draft a MAN. Yes, you read it here first. They will draft a guy. They will not be drafting a woman or any "other". It will be a man.
2. The Bills will be drafting a HUMAN. I can go out on a limb and say, for sure, that it will be a human male. Sorry to all the Martians hoping that Zeslkskoooeuwipp%#$%#$ would be the first football player taken, well, ever, but, the bills will only be drafting humans this year.
3. The Bills are, for sure, I'd bet my joe Montana BGS 9.5 RC on it that they will be drafting a FOOTBALL player. They will not be drafting a Hockey, Basketball, or Baseball player. They were tempted by several Soccer and Tennis players, but, instead opted to go with the football player.
4. The Bills, again, I am pretty sure, and will bet my Jim Kelly BGS 9.5 USFL RC that they will NOT, in any way, draft a Kicker or Punter in the first round. I know it is likely later in the draft, as high as the second round, but, nope, no way in the first round. There will be no second coming of Ray Guy or Janikowski here. Nope, no way and I am willing to bet that card.
5. So, after all these hints, it should be pretty obvious who they will draft.

Savannah firefighters responded to house fire on West Victory Drive around 2 p.m. Saturday. Members of the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team were also called to provide assistance to the family of six that were left homeless.
Before firefighters arrived, the occupants and a neighbor attempted to put the fire out with a garden hose which turned out to be too short. The fire itself was confined to the kitchen but the rest of the house suffered smoke and heat damage. The power had to be disconnected thereby making the home unlivable.
According to fire officials, the four adults and 2 children living in the home evacuated on their own after one of the adults smelled smoke and noticed it filling the home after one of the adults entered the kitchen and saw flames.
The Red Cross provided the family with a hotel room for three nights, funds to buy food for a week and three comfort kits containing personal hygiene items. No one was reported to have been injured in the blaze.

Tag: golden clone giveaway
U.S. company pulls out of dog cloning fight
The only U.S. biotech company involved in cloning dogs commercially is pulling out of the business, according to the Korea Times.
Lou Hawthorne, the chief executive of California-based BioArts, said the company will discontinue cloning dogs for customers in light of failed legal efforts to prevent a South Korean rival company from offering cloning services.
In an e-mailed statement to the newspaper, Hawthorne condemned the Korean company, RNL Bio in Seoul, as "black-market cloners," and also claimed that the occasional physical anomalies of its cloned puppies proved that cloning is a technology "not ready for prime time."
BioArts has completed the delivery of cloned dogs to five clients — all bidders in an online auction held this summer, the company said.
The withdrawl of BioArts from dog cloning leaves RNL Bio as the world's only company involved in the commercial cloning of dogs.
RNL recently announced plans to open a canine cloning center in Korea next year, where it plans to produce 1,000 cloned dogs per year by 2013.
BioArts had insisted it held the sole rights to clone dogs, cats and other mammals under licenses from Start Licensing, which acquired the rights to the technology developed to clone Dolly the sheep from the Roslin Institute.
Start Licensing filed a lawsuit against RNL Bio for patent infringement last October, but Hawthorne said Start Licensing's legal response was "too little, too late."
"It became apparent that Start was unwilling either to commit to defend their cloning patents against infringers or grant to BioArts the right to do so on their behalf," Hawthorne said.
"Start was afraid to defend their patents against challengers in the dog cloning space because if they lost, they might also lose the ability to control markets they actually cared about — mainly agricultural cloning. Start's strong preference was to do nothing to defend the dog cloning market against patent infringers."
In closing its cloning business, BioArts also ended its partnership with Korea's Sooam Biotech Research Foundation, which is led by scientist Hwang Woo-suk, who was fired from Seoul National University shortly after the announcement that it had cloned the world's first dog, Snuppy.
While Snuppy was verified to be a clone, Hwang's studies on cloned human stem cells were exposed as fraudulent, leading to criminal charges.

Clones of Trakr to be delivered to owner today
Retired police officer James Symington will receive five clones of his late search and rescue dog, Trakr, at a press conference in Los Angeles today.
BioArts International, a Northern California biotech company, will be presenting Symington with five puppies – all clones of Trakr — at a press conference.
Symington, who says his retired police dog found the last survivor of 9/11, won the "Golden Clone Giveaway" contest sponsored by BioArts International in 2008. His essay explained why Trakr was an ideal candidate for cloning.
The company's other dog cloning clients — one of five dogs cloned for customers in connection with an online auction has been delivered –have paid an average of $144,000 to clone their canine pets. Symington will receive his puppy clones of Trakr for free.
BioArts International says it holds the sole, worldwide license for the cloning of dogs, cats and endangered species, and is partnered with Sooam Biotech Research Foundation of South Korea. Sooam was established by Hwang Woo-Suk, who led the team that produced the world's first canine clone, Snuppy, in 2005, but was fired the next year for falsifying research related to cloning human embryos.
"We received many very touching submissions to our contest, describing some truly amazing dogs," says Lou Hawthorne, CEO of Bio Arts International. "But Trakr's story blew us away. His many remarkable capabilities were proven beyond all doubt in our nation's darkest hour – and we're proud to have cloned him successfully."
Trakr was credited with hundreds of arrests and recovered more than $1 million in stolen goods during his career as a police search-and-rescue dog. Symington, a Halifax, Nova Scotia police officer at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks, arrived with Trakr at Ground Zero. According to Symington, Trakr located the last human survivor to be found in the rubble.
"Once in a lifetime, a dog comes along that not only captures the hearts of all he touches but also plays a private role in history," Symington wrote in his winning essay.
Trakr was presented with an extraordinary service to humanity award by Dr. Jane Goodall, United Nations "Messenger of Peace."
"They're identical – down to the smallest detail," Symington said when meeting the Trakr clones on Sunday. "Few dogs are born with exceptional abilities – Trakr was one of those dogs. And if these puppies have the same attributes as Trakr, I plan on putting them in to search and rescue so they can help people the way Trakr did."
In order to clone Trakr, Hwang's team replaced the genes in eggs from unrelated dogs with genes from Trakr, stimulated the resulting "couplets" to develop into embryos, then transferred the embryos to dogs who served as surrogate mothers. After normal pregnancies, they gave birth to puppies that are genetically identical to Trakr, the first of which was born December 8, 2008 and the last on April 4, 2009. All were born and weaned in Seoul, South Korea, and all are in excellent health, BioArts says.
"9-11 was a terrible shock for Korean people as well as Americans," said Dr. Hwang by email from Seoul, Korea. "These five clones of Trakr, who saved a human life at Ground Zero, are a gift not just to Mr. Symington, but to America and the world."

UFC on FX 3 was another under appreciated UFC card that turned out to be great. Here are some of the match-ups I would like to see the winners take part in next, including the already set; Johnson vs. Benavidez for the UFC Flyweight title.
Flyweight bout: Demetrious Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez
This fight has already been set by the UFC and what a fight it will be. Both of these guys have what it takes to be the champ.
Welterweight bout: Erick Silva vs. Diego Sanchez
Erick Silva continued his assault on the Welterweight division beating Charlie Brenneman rather handily. I like this fight with Diego for two reasons, one: It's a huge test for Silva. Diego is a huge name in MMA and that alone is something he needs to experience. Two: Diego will fight him. Brenneman gave a good fight until he was caught in a bad position, then he let Silva put in the hooks and choke him out. Diego will go, go, go and go some more. He's not going to be put down easily. A real test for the up and coming Erick Silva.
Welterweight bout: Mike Pyle vs. John Maguire
Gypsy Jiu-Jitsu vs. Old school Mike Pyle. John Maguire has been on an impressive run it's time to test him against the big dogs. No better test than Mike Pyle.
Bantamweight bout: Eddie Wineland vs. Michael McDonald
Probably my favorite match-up out of all of these. Two of the heaviest, fastest hitters at 135. What's not to like about this one?
Welterweight bout: Mike Pierce vs. Jake Ellenberger
Ellenberger was on the cusp of fighting for the belt before the lapse against Kampmann, Mike Pierce is looking like a beast in the octagon against top guys in the division. These two guys are on a collision course. Makes sense to fight right now. One guy continues to be a contender, the other starts over.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - J.A. Happ continued a strong run of Houston pitching with seven sharp innings, and the Houston Astros used a late power surge to beat the Cleveland Indians, 7-1, and win the three-game series.
Happ (6-7), who has recorded each of his six victories at home, made sure the Astros allowed two or fewer runs for the fifth straight game. The lefty yielded only one run on four hits, although Houston has won only two of the aforementioned five.
"It was good. I felt in control out there," Happ said.
Chris Johnson and J.D. Martinez both homered in a four-run eighth inning for the Astros.
Derek Lowe (7-6) dropped his third straight decision and fifth out of six for the Indians, who gave up 15 runs in the last two games after Friday's shutout.
Casey Kotchman had a pair of hits in defeat.
"We struggled, big time, offensively the whole series," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "When you score four runs in a three-game series, there are times when you don't even win a ballgame."
Despite the six-run margin, it looked early on as if the Indians had the upper hand.
In the second, Jose Lopez doubled and eventually scored on a wild pitch, and it seemed as though Derek Lowe was putting together a quality outing.
Lowe retired the first 11 hitters he faced, taking him to two outs in the fourth. He was unable to get past Carlos Lee, however, and Lee kept the inning alive with a single.
Brian Bogusevic followed with another base hit, and Johnson's looping single to center scored Lee and tied the game. From that point, it was all Houston.
In the sixth, with the game still tied, Jed Lowrie doubled with one out and scored on Lee's subsequent single to center. A double play groundout in the seventh scored Johnson, who led off with a base hit, to make it 3-1.
The game would have ended closer if not for the Cleveland bullpen, which surrendered two-run homers to both Johnson and Martinez in the eighth.
After Happ's shaky second, no Indians batter reached as far as third base.
Houston second baseman Jose Altuve left the game with a strained right hamstring...The Astros had four hits with runners in scoring position...Happ has received a decision in 11 straight starts.

Are puffy eyes cute? Not to me. They can make a woman look older or tired. So what's the reason for getting them? I think it's common knowledge that drinking too much water in the night before bedtime causes your eyes to look puffy in the morning. And I'm sure you already know that crying causes puffiness too. But if you haven't been doing either and yet your eyes look unusually puffy, there could be other reasons.
10 lesser-known reasons why your eyes look puffy
10 things to know what vitamin C can do for your skin
Of the many active ingredients I've tried, vitamin C works best for me. It was first introduced to me by a dermatologist and ever since, I've always had good results using products formulated with the ingredient. I believe many of you are also fans of the ingredient and so I hope this list of 10 that I've compiled on what vitamin C can do for your skin will interest you.
Tips to share: 5 gentler ways to exfoliate your skin
Regular exfoliation like once or twice a week is essential in a skin care regime. In fact, it results in clearer, smoother skin because it helps remove dead skin cells on the epidermis. Additionally, regular exfoliation not only improves the surface appearance but the function of the skin as it allow better penetration of the active ingredients in toners, serums and moisturizers. The idea of exfoliation may come across as harsh but really, it need not be so. Instead of mechancial exfoliation via a facial scrub or chemical exfoliation using AHAs, BHAS, retinoids, fruit enzymes, salicylic or glycolic acid, there are gentler alternatives.
Tips to share: 3 tips to get more from your sunscreen
I am so pleased that my new order of the Marie Veronique Organics Moisturizing Face Screen SPF30 arrived within a week of my order! I haven't kept a record but this could possibly be my 8th or 9th bottle. For those who don't know, this is my daily sunscreen and today, I thought I'll share with you, three tips I use to get more from this product. When I mean daily sunscreen, it's really for casual sun protection and not for intense, prolonged sun exposure. Perhaps I can come up with something like "3 INTENSE tips to get more from your outdoor sunscreen" the next round. LOL.

We got the news through skype over the holidays. Our 1st born son and his wife are going to become parents to a baby! Translated, I am going to become a grandfather! This bundle of belovedness is going to arrive in July. It's thrilling for Gwen and me to consider this "development" and we treasure this news in our hearts and it has all set us to do a bit of pondering. Pondering is the word that the Bible uses when we learn that Mary is pregnant. She ponders. She thinks. She imagines. The ordinary routine of life is invaded with news that stops your world and shapes your outlook into the future. I simply cannot imagine Mary's pondering but I am becoming quiet familiar with my own. Here are some of my ponderings upon hearing this very good news!
This baby is already the beloved of God. Formed in the mother's womb, this child already is loved by God. Isn't that simply stunning. We read, "Long before the foundations of the world were set, God had you–THIS BABY–in mind and had settled on THIS baby to become the focus of His love (Eph. 1:3, Msg).
All of the days ahead for THIS baby are ordained by God–already. (Psalm 139:16)
This child, my grandchild–flesh of my own flesh is already being cradled by more than fluids in the sac…but held by the very hands of the Eternal God.
So, I have tried to put pen to words…put thoughts into a poem for my Beloved grandchild.
Here's what I have written for my grandchild–upon hearing this news and upon further pondering and reflection:
The Honey of the Hive
by Stephen W. Smith
Every last part of you,
all sinews, muscles and skin
is now jointed in history and future
to what will unfold and begin.
Already the Beloved in sacred form,
though not seen, not held and not touched.
Marvelous soul so sacred to be born,
what love now awaits you.
Flesh of my own flesh; heart so alive,
With bowed knee and humble mind,
We celebrate the honey of the hive!
What glory now awaits us to kiss this sacred face.
A part of me will now through you live
And I am ready for that!
What I will touch is Yours to give,
O Glory be for this good gift.

While world-class athletes battle for the gold in Sochi, kids ages 6-12 will be participating in their own competition at the North River YMCA. Brain Ninja Game Day will pit kids against each other in brain games, martial arts exercises and balance games Saturday, Feb. 15, 3:30-6:30 p.m.
LearningRx Brain Training Center is partnering with Green's Karate and The Little Gym to host the free event, said Chinyere Ubamadu, director of community connections for LearningRx.
Day-of registration and Ice Breaker Games run from 3:15-3:45 p.m.
"It gives kids an opportunity to flex their mental and physical muscles," she said of the event. "It also raises awareness to the brain's ability to change as we learn information and grow."
Children do not need to have any prior knowledge of martial arts to participate, Ubamadu said.
"The idea is to give kids the opportunity to get out there and see what they can do with their brain, body and balance ability," she said.
The games will begin with an opening ceremony, and kids will be divided onto three teams. Each team will spend 20 minutes rotating through the brain, martial arts and balance game stations.
Brain game participants might be asked to spell words backwards or try to figure out a math problem given to them by a facilitator who then tries to distract them. Participants will also be asked to speed-sort, which Ubamadu said is a way of stretching the brain that works on processing speed. One game involves showing participants a tray of items for 60 seconds and then asking them to write down what they saw.
At the end of the competition, a master brainiac, master black belt and balance master will be named, and kids will have a chance to win lots of great prizes, she said. Throughout the day healthy snacks will also provided.
While walk-ins are welcome, attendees are asked to preregister by calling 305-1599.

All IT departments should be consciously aware of how their environments are being exploited. They shouldn't care about malware family names, country of origination, or the users involved. But they should know the top 10 threats and your plan to address them. Everyone should know how the environment is most often exploited and work cohesively as a team to fight the biggest risks first.
Consider the Conficker worm: It had multiple means of attacking computers. Early on, most observers thought Conficker's biggest threat was against unpatched systems. But in the field, I saw many of my clients affected by the worm, though their systems were appropriately patched. I determined this probably meant Conficker was successfully propagating via infected USB keys, a conclusion that Microsoft (my full-time employer) reached as well.
In response, Microsoft issued a security patch that disabled the autorun functionality, which led to millions of fewer instances of malware infections from Conficker and other autorunning malware. Some antivirus software vendors have questioned just how successful the fix was, but regardless of the specific numbers (estimates of the decrease range from 15 to 75 percent), one strategic decision led to a significant dip in malware risk.
Identifying and responding to multivector threats means being aware of them early on. Is your IT security infrastructure strategically defined to measure root-cause analysis and create the necessary data to respond with better, fine-tuned responses? Or does it rely upon a few humans noticing a trend and hoping their personal speculations will filter up to decision makers who might notice the significance and respond accordingly?
Instead of hoping, design into your system a proactive early-warning telemetry. When the next major malware or hacking trend occurs, such as a boot virus, macro virus, email scripting worm, fake AV program, autorun malware, or more, be better prepared to notice and, better yet, respond more quickly.
We don't do a good job at that in IT security. Imagine if a warring military unit noticed where it was taking on the most casualties and didn't respond to close the hole. That unit would lose the battle. That's exactly what we're doing over and over -- it's time to fight a better war.

Back in July (Firehouse®, July 2012), we described box one of our first-due fire officer "Four-Box Strategic Progression." Our structured and systematic four-box progression has been crafted so that you nail your first-due strategic responsibility every time.
We identified that, according to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1021, Fire Officer I, the first-due fire officer's strategic responsibility is to complete a size-up; develop and an initial action plan; and then implement the preliminary action plan.
Box one revisited
Box one contains five items that represent the first-due fire officer arrival report; the box one arrival report is brief and meaningful, but does not qualify as a size-up. Your focused and systematic size-up is represented by box two, which we will open in a moment.
Your box one, five-item arrival report consists of:
1. Occupancy and showing – Not building construction or dimensions, but simply the occupancy type (house, multi-family, high-rise, commercial, strip mall, store, hotel, etc.) and one of three showing situations (nothing, smoke, fire).
2. Designate side Alpha – Make sure your designation is perfectly clear to all responding units ("The address is side Alpha," "Main Street is side Alpha," etc.).
3. Park responding units – "All apparatus park." Park is a non-specific location. The general meaning of park is each officer on each unit will park as close to the address (or to staging, if designated) as possible with two important caveats: leave the street open to traffic can get in and out; and personnel will remain with their rig unless other otherwise assigned. This simple assignment serves to herd the cats until you know what the problems and hazards are. It also eliminates annoying radio traffic such as, "On your arrival…" and, "We're a block out, what's our assignment?" Talking to people who are responding interferes with your focused size-up.
4. Initiate command – Command that has been initiated is informal and mobile. In other words, no command post and the officer will be doing a size-up. Later, in box four, a command post will be "established" (named and located).
5. Investigation mode – The initial operational mode should usually be the investigation mode as described in box two.
Resist the temptation to cram additional stuff into box one (or into any of the four boxes). For example, if you need a second alarm, police for traffic control or the gas company, make the request before opening box one, after closing box one or as part of opening box four. Shoving an additional item into a box tends to push something out of the box. The point is that we want you to nail box one.
Caveats can be built into the box one arrival report. For example, the announcement "nothing showing" would assign all responding units to park and await your update. Should you announce "fire showing" or "smoke showing," all units would park "except" – and "except" means whatever your fire department decides it means. Where I came from it means that the second-due engine, first-due truck and battalion chief would continue to the address and all other units would park. The spirit and intent is to
• Immediately capture and control all resources
• Facilitate the need for assembling firefighters at the address
• Prevent a mishmash of fire apparatus clogging the street
• Ensure vehicle access in and out (such as medic unit, tender shuttle, etc.)
Box two: Focused
and aggressive strategy
Box two is filled with focused and aggressive strategic action; box two strategic action is what you do, not what you say on the radio. During a typical dwelling fire, box two strategic action can be completed in about the time it takes to view each side of a typical house: 30 to 50 seconds. It will be the most important 30 to 50 seconds of the entire fireground operation. (You do not receive size-up credit based on how fast you can complete a lap around a building; you get size-up credit for the information you acquire during the lap.)

If this is the case, why keep tuning in and making the snarky comments?
"Been there, done that, knows whats what"? Really?
Is it the only way you can achieve validation?
Do you have a compulsive need to be "right"?
As far as I'm concerned you're statements indicate that you are little more than a master of the obvious.
This place is no different than any other forum on the internet with the exception that many who post here are actually part of the community (IE, live here) and use it to communicate things going on in the neighborhood.
If you want to participate have at it, however check the attitude at the door, as you can see it's unwelcome.

Both teams crashed out at the Quarter-Final stage of Europe's premier and secondary competitions in midweek. However, Juventus have the comfort of knowing that Serie A is theirs to lose, as they come into this game with an eight point cushion over second placed Napoli.
Lazio themselves are eight points from the Champions League places, but have city rivals AS Roma, Inter Milan and Udinese all around them scrapping for a Europa League place and ready to pounce should they slip up.
Juventus have failed to get the better of Lazio in three meetings so far this season. The Biancocelesti parked the proverbial bus in November's reverse fixture to steal a point, then came away with a score draw in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi final. A last gasp Sergio Floccari winner in Rome denied the Bianconeri a second straight Coppa Italia final appearance.
Defensive trio Giuseppe Biava, Stefan Radu and Senad Lulic are all suspended for the home side, while Andre Dias and Abdoulay Konko will almost certainly miss out through injury and join Cristian Brocchi on the sidelines. Bruno Pereirinha could shake off a knock to play, but Marius Stankevicius is ready to deputise for the Portuguese defender.
Knee injuries to both Giorgio Chiellini and Sebastian Giovinco mean they join long term absentees Simone Pepe and Nicklas Bendtner on the Juventus sidelines.
Paolo De Ceglie, Simone Padoin, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Matri are all one booking away from missing next weekend's big meeting with AC Milan.
Lazio injuries and suspensions
Out: Andre Dias, Abdoulay Konko, Cristian Brocchi (injured) Giuseppe Biava, Stefan Radu, Senad Lulic (suspended)
Juventus injuries and suspensions
Out: Giorgio Chiellini, Sebastian Giovinco, Simone Pepe, Nicklas Bendtner (injured)
Match Date/Time: Monday 15th April 2013 8:45 p.m. local, 2:45 p.m. ET
Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy

TOWN OF YORK (WKOW) -- Authorities have identified the man who died Monday morning in a rollover crash.
The Dane County Sheriff's Department says the deceased is Frederick Smith, 53, of Madison. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials say the passenger in the vehicle is Dandre Barber, 28, of Juneau. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Authorities say their preliminary investigation shows speed and alcohol were both contributing factors in the crash. The crash is still under investigation by the Dane County Sheriff's Department.
TOWN OF YORK (WKOW) -- Authorities responded to a one vehicle rollover crash in the Town of York early Monday Morning.
Officials were dispatched to US Highway 151 and the off ramp at County Highway V for the crash. A 1994 Buick Regal was traveling north on 151, when it exited at the off ramp at CTH V, went off the shoulder, down an embankment, and rolled several times.
The male driver of the vehicle, a 53-year-old male of Madison, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Dane County Medical Examiner. The other occupant of the vehicle, a 28-year-old male, also of Madison, was taken to UW Hospital with minor injuries.
Both occupants were wearing seatbelts. The airbags did not go off. Alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash.
The crash is under investigation by the Dane County Sheriff's Office. The names have not yet been released, pending notification of the families.

I love my Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Yes, it does get a little bit annoying when inevitably every store clerk gawks and asks me about it, but the value proposition of the entire Ultimate Rewards program trumps any minor inconveniences (like Payless Car rental rejecting it because they couldn't take a manual imprint of the numbers since they are printed on the card and not raised).
For the longest time I thought American Express Membership Rewards points were the only way to go. I have been an American Express customer for years and have been using Membership Rewards points since I was a teenager. I still think American Express Membership Rewards is a good program. I put a lot of my spend on my Premier Rewards Gold Card (domestic) and Platinum (international) cards, however after becoming more familiar with Chase Ultimate Rewards, I find there are five areas where the Chase Ultimate Rewards excels.
1) There is no fee to transfer points. American Express charges $6 per 10,000 points transferred to US frequent flyer programs for a "Airline Excise Tax Offset Fee." Chase charges no such fees. To test this, I just transferred 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points to Continental and after a quick confirmation, they were instantly in my account. I tried to do the same thing with Amex and had to pay 60 cents. Not horrible, but if you do a 100,000 point transfer you are looking at $60 in fees.
2) Chase is very flexible with external transfers. Unlike Amex, you don't need to go through a linking process before transferring points. Chase just asks for the name of the person you want to transfer to (and it doesn't have to be you). A couple clicks later and the transaction is done. This is amazingly helpful when family/friends need to top up accounts and you can come in and save the day, saving them potentially hundreds of dollars from having to buy miles directly from the airlines. Chase's transfers are all instantaneous, whereas some of American Express' can take several days (for partners like ANA and Singapore). American Express also lets you transfer to other people, but I just feel like Chase's process is easier and more efficient.
3) Chase is very flexible with internal transfers. Chase allows points to be transferred to anyone else! For example, my friend who moved to Madrid had 2,000 points leftover in her Freedom account. She wasn't going to use them, so she transferred them to me for free (all we had to do was enter my Sapphire Preferred credit card number). Instantly I had 2,000 points that could be transferred to either Continental, British Airways, Korean Air, Hyatt, Marriott, Priority Club or Amtrak. Awesome.
4) Ultimate Rewards Mall shopping points are reliable and post quickly. Last year I posted about 2,500- and 4,500-point deals for signing up for Stamps.com and Pitney Bowes. Within 2 weeks I had those points in my account – normally you need to wait months and often track down vendors for your rightful points. So kudos to Chase for running a tight ship at the Ultimate Rewards shopping mall.
5) As a result of the flexible transferability of points, with Chase you can maximize the points you earn by taking advantage of other cards. For example, the no-fee Freedom card (which also comes with a 20,000 point sign-up bonus) gives 5 points per dollar on specific categories during the year. The Freedom card is supposed to be a cashback card, but instead you can transfer those points and major bonuses to your Ultimate Rewards account and then transfer them to the programs of your choice. So each quarter you can be earning 5 airline/hotel miles per every dollar spent in the category spend up to $1,500 quarterly. If this sounds confusing I highlighted this strategy in this post.
FYI the bonus categories for Q1 (January-March) are:
Gas Stations
To be fair, American Express blows Chase out of the water in several areas, like breadth of transfer partners and transfer bonuses, but I'll save that argument for another post.
Overall, I am really impressed with the Ultimate Rewards program and hope they continue to add transfer partners like the recent additions of United and Southwest. Whatever happens, I think it's a good thing that there is competition on the market and I'd love for Citi, Capital One and any other major credit card player to start transferable points programs. The more options the better!

Albany - - Children aren't the only ones who want to catch a peak at Jolly St. Nick this Christmas.
Animal owners brought their pets out to Smart Dog Stuff in Albany Saturday for Christmas photos.
It's a fundraiser for Terell County Humane's Society to help spray and neuter stray cats. Pet owners say it was fun introducing their pets to Santa.
"She did really good. It was just that she wouldn't perk up her ears or anything but that's ok. She took a nice picture. Yes, she's very excited tonight though," says Jade Powell who brought her dog Jas.
This is the first year Smart Dog Stuff has offered pet pictures with Santa.
