4.3/5 rDev -1.8%
Didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. Tried this from a couple of different peoples bottles at winter storm on sunday. The beer was black and no light shone through. Not sure if the beer was just hazy or if it was supposed to be that dark, can't tell with aged beers. There was a tiny bit of foam but it was relaitvely uncarbonated. The foam that did appear was tan in color and thin.
The smell was very sweet for a porter. There was some nice dark fruits going on as well as plenty of roasted malts. For once the coffee smell didn't bother me as this one was balanced by the fruitiness as well as the sweetness. The flavor was real nice as well but it was a bit more aged (possibly past its peak) than the aroma. I found this kind of interesting. It was basically a milder version of the aroma. After each tasting the flavor grew on me more.
This is a very drinkable beer but I would recomend doing so over the next year or two as theres no telling what it's going to be like in a couple years.

On tap at Lucky Baldwins in Pasadena, CA.
Pours a clear dark brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. No lacing on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, and caramel. Taste is much the same with a mild roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and has held up well for being so old.

An impressive appearance... the very deep brown - almost black - body shows only a thin edge of clear mahogany at the base, and the creamy tan head holds exceptionally well and leaves solid sheets of lace throughout most of the glass. The nose expresses a distinctly smokey roastiness with a touch of fruitiness, citrusy hops, and a noticeable alcoholic strength. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. The flavor is surprisingly complex with notes of bittersweet chocolate, peat-smoked malt, bold citrus hops (lemon, mild pineapple), caramelized sugars, alcohol, and black coffee. A dense bitterness anchors it and it finishes astonishingly long and quite dry with a deep roastiness, some peat-smoke, mild but bright citrusy fruit, pine, and a touch of soft chocolate. It's quite the massive beer with great strength and impressive complexity. A beer of Promethian proportions! A 'must try' for hop heads, smoked beer, or porter fans!

Appearance: Dark almost black, deep ruby brown tone with a nice sized tan moccha head leaves copious amounts of lacing around my Stone Imperial Russian Stout glass. Aroma: Toasted malts are good haven't had a nice strong Baltic porter in awhile, floral notes sit on top from some gentle hop dosages and nice fruit layer is in their to alcohol is barely evident blends together with the rest of the beer very well. Taste: I don't think Stone knows how to brew a bad beer, this has survived since August of 2002 without a problem dark chocolate soft fruit esters and alcohol are infused into a beautiful combonation of pure tastiness. Excellent beer that I'm sure will be re-released in the future, it's too solid to keep in the vault. Mouthfeel: Full to mediumb bodied porter with a nice smooth carbonation. Drinkability: I can't believe this beer is this drinkable finishes a bit dry with a dark chocolate alcohol tone but it's so nice keeps you wanting another sip to re-wet the palate, nice.

I'd been hoping to hang on to this bottle for a bit, but for some reason, it just felt right to crack this out tonight. Maybe I just needed an extra excuse for happiness...
Pours out a deep, dark black, utterly impenetrable, with only the slightest cracks seeping out slight ruby reddishness, with a big, blooming, luscious tan head.
Aroma: ah! there's that smokey factor, big, but not too, with cocoa and mocha character as well, very smooth, never a bit bitter at all.
Taste: repeats the aroma, smokey character is there, all the way, as well as porter-y qualities in abundant, but not overwhelming supply. Richly roasted, fully flavored, immense in body, very mellow and groovy, with the smoke sitting relaxedly, yet firmly in charge and on top of the palate. As we continue, it settles back, this smokiness, it hangs on the back porch, still wafting it's effect, but never harshly. After 16 months since the bottling this must be just the height of perfection. There can't be a thing wrong with this. Fullness, no harshness, yet with a unique flavor that never sticks you wrongly.
Have I said that yet?
Yum, and I'll say it again, yum-my.
I'm just gonna sit back and luxuriate in this one.
Oh, nice, nicety, niceness!
Large-sized thanks to Mr. LongBeachBum for delivering this magnificent ale into my possession!

This is a pitch black beer with notes of deep brown. It pours with a dark brown head which is dense, creamy and pretty persistent. The aroma is one of malt, roasted malt with a bit of smoke and perhaps a hint of alcohol in the nose. There is a nice thick mouthfeel to this one, and it gently coats your entire mouth. The finish has a hint of alcohol. There is lots of smoky malt flavor in this beer as well. The roasted notes remind me of coffee. A bit of sweetness becomes evident as it warms up. This beer feels thick, almost oily on my tongue, the smoke only reinforces this perception. This 22 oz bottle is a meal unto itself. Overall a fairly solid beer, I like it.

Clear dark ruby red. Small creamy brown head that recedes very gradually. Lacing is intricate and web-like. Beautiful deep roasted malt tones on the nose. They are speckled with a light smokiness (that I assume was a bit heavier a year ago). Hop aromas seem to have that "West Coast" feel to them....pungent, citric....piney. The taste is marvelous as well. WOW! This is smooth and tasty. The roasted malt profile lays down a very sturdy foundation. Overatures of chocolate and dry cocoa are HUGE. The lingering bitterness is quite appealing. The smokiness is a little meaty, but quite delicate at this stage of the game. Hop bitterness and roasted bitterness blend to perfection. The mouthfeel is silky smooth. Body seems to check in at about medium. Man this is good. What I could do with a keg of this liquid gold.
LongBeachBum, you've done it again. You are the man! Thanks for sparing one of your last ones.

This was the beer I chose to be my 5000th beer sampled lifetime, and I dedicate it to all the truly great Beer Persons on this site. Please excuse the sentimentality, but it is the way I feel about Beer and the Beer Drinking Community both here at Beer Advocate and at Ratebeer the other home of great beer and great beer drinkers. It is basically the way I wrote it on August 30, 2002, but updated to reflect my new style of reviewing.
If I may wax nostalgic, and take a line or two from Lewis Carols "Through the Looking Glass", "The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings." Since I sampled my first sip of "Beer" some 50 plus years ago, as a "Wee Lad At My Daddy's Knee" and as I will be 57 a week from today. Memories become much more important than you can imagine, so if I may preach a bit. "Live each day as if it will be youre last"; Take the time to be with your parents, your brothers and sisters, your wife, your friends, but most especially your children. "Love them, nourish them, be with them", as one day you wake up and realize that "Life" has moved on" and lost opportunities are seldom regained. I'd like to thank the Arrogant Bastard himself for this magnificent beer and the signed bottle that's going into my new cabinet.
The Beer pours that magnificent deep brown to black that I rave about, the head prodigious in size, creamy in its texture, the lace in thick sheets that clings to the glass till the very end. The aromas of toasted grain, coffee, lightly hop floral and sweet, a real treat to the senses. Front is ambrosial, the top thick and full in its feel, the finish is modestly acidic, devastatingly hopped dry chocolate malt and alcohol bitter aftertaste. Strong, robust, nicely hopped, high ABV can't ask for more than this.

This was a pleasant surprise on a $28 round-trip cab ride from the Anaheim Mariott to the Hollingshead Deli 4.5 miles away. This is another classic from Stone. Thoroughly black with a nice ruby halo and a medium beige head. Aroma is not as smoky as I remember the Smoked Porter being, it is definitely more subdued. Warm flavor of chocolate, licorice and black cherry. Finish is as smooth aa suede. Great stuff!

This is one hell of a beer...pours black with ruby highlights...nice 1/4 inch light brown head...very nice peaty maltiness on the nose...mouthfeel is full. and creamy....hops bite you harder on the taste than on the nose...a nice dark cocoa/java flavor complemented by a subtle pea smokiness....starts on the maltiner side in the mouth but finishes dry and bitter..
Top notch effort here....but a bit tto much of a hop bite for a porter in my opinion...
A big thanks to the Bum (Long Beach style) for sending this to Hugey for me to try.

Appearance Nice, dark brown color with a big, tan, foaming head that went down slowly and laced the hell out of my Ruination glass.
Smell Big, giant, smokey roasted malt aroma with a huge hop balance. The dark cherry and tobacco come out as well, along with a bit of overripe apricot and a lot of brown sugar.
Taste The smoke flavor here is awesome. Its like eating a nicely-roasted steak. Behind that, the huge fruits and big malt flavors give this the classic Porter taste. I can also pick up some fine espresso beans and bitter coffee notes. This one has it all, and it all is done up just right.
Mouthfeel The smoothness of this ale is incredible. This is full-bodied for sure, but extremely creamy. Its amazing.
Drinkability I like the Stone Smoked Porter, but its kind of heavy on the smoke. When I drink this ale, which I rated a 4.5 overall, I find myself wishing for a little less smoke and more fruit. The 6th Anniversary is it big, giant fruit, smoked but not overly so, and creamy smooth to the point that its almost impossible to stop sucking down. This is unbelievable.
Comments I chose this as my 600th review because I knew that it would be special. This is easily one of the best bottles that I have opened to date. A huge, BA thanks to francisweizen for hooking me up with this exceptional ale. BA Buds are the best!

My introduction to stone(courtesy of fellow BA Hyuga, cheers m8!). Where do I begin? Well let's just say that I have been looking forward to trying Stone brewings products for some time now(pretty much since I joined this site almost 3 months ago:-)and I had very high expectations for this brew, which was my first stone brew. Let's just say I was not dissapointed at all and I look forward to trying EVERY other brew that this brewery makes(that I can get my hands on:-) Anyway, this brew pours a deep, dark, darker than guinness, you are-not-worthy, storm-king like black that I was not expecting in a porter. This smelled wonderfully like dark chocolate malts, bittering hops, smoked and roasted barleys, and many other things. The nose, kind of reminded me of an aged bottle of storm king, or brooklyn black chocolate stout, but it also reminded me of Adam, or Skullsplitter as well, so I was a bit worried. This tasted wonderful! Like a combination platter of all of the above. It had some of those funky adam-like, old ale flavors, but this time around they did not bother me at all. Maybe it is the blending that stone used for this beer, but to me this is an almost perfect offering. This had the notes, profiles, and flavor aspects of an IPA, a Porter, a Stout, and an old world ale. How do they do it! This also had a T.H.I.C.K., smooth and heavy mouthfeel that is perfect for warming you up on a cold winters day! The drinkability factor for this is lowered a little bit because of it's thickness and fullness, but this is a wonderful beer.
BA is a great place to be

6th Anniversary Porter, Aug. 2002 - Sampled at just over 4 Years Old.
Served up in a 5 year chronological Vertical line-up of the 7th, 8th and 9th past Anniversary Stone brews throughout the next few days, before I sample the latest 10th Anniversary Stone offering.
Appearance: The silvery blue bottle design put me in mind of the Imperial Russian Stout, so what better glass to use than my IRS goblet. Black body on the desk but when held to a powerful desk lamp at night it revealed a rich deep mahogany body with deep chestnut with ruby hues and gemstone clarity. The head rises on the viscous pour. The carbonation is still here, producing a leathered tan head that tends to fade quickly but leaves a broken covering and a bubbled halo. Conditioning is very good and a gentle swirl soon reinstates a decent cap.
Nose: I recall past examples of the 6th always had an excellent nose, but after 4 years it is exemplary. Rich aromas, dark roasted coffee and darker chocolates mix with an aged Sherry and Port like alcoholic whiff that backs the complex nose. Some dark brandy soaked fruits add yet more depth. Crisp, peat laden smoked malts are still here and never seem to fade.
Taste: The bitterness has developed in the 6th, but it seamlessly merges with smoked malts, peat, dark fruits and a dry charcoal finish. Cinders punctuate the dark roasted coffee whilst a satisfying complex smokiness relaxes.
Mouthfeel: Thick feel with a rich consistency. Smooth conditioning. Like a black hole the depth in this is endless.
Drinkability: Effortless. A rich satisfying yet complex brew which is a classic late night sipper. Sadly it has a rather annoying quaffability, I know I should savor this one, but I just cant stop sinking this one.
Overall: Definitely my favorite of the Stone Anniversaries, even considering the much vaunted 5th IPA, sadly that one faded rather too quickly. The 6th Porter was, and still is, the one to beat for my money. And right now, it is still developing nicely though probably close to reaching a peak. Even so, with care, this could easily go another year with little effort I feel. A real Gem!!

In many respects this is the most quintessential porter you could imagine. A veritable archetype for the genre, capable of defining the standard. It is black with a slight suggestion of black cherry color. Has a gentle tan head that lasts and a graceful, relaxed mouthfeel. The fragrance is somewhere between molasses and a good campfire.
The taste itself is so elegant and profound, I'm not going to waste language on it. All the usual adjectives sound cliche here except for the "bread-like" descriptive which applies.
This beer doesn't leap out at you and get in your face. It just sits there and commands an audience. Like a king. My only complaint is that you'll need a time machine to return to 2002 and get some more.

22 ounce bottle courtesy of Bill, thanks for the opportunity my friend, ordered this and Winter Storm a few years ago and was told the guy next to me bought the last one, also sold out at Stuffed Sandwich a while back, glad I get to try this, poured into my Port Brewing nonic, color is nearly black with barely a small amount of red around the edges, one inch tan creamy and foamy head that leaves great lacing, decent retention too, aroma consists of vanilla, milk chocolate, coffee creamer, roasted malts, burned toffee, burnt sugar, anda great oaky scent, starts off with different chocolate and roasted taste, more roasted malts in the middle along with some leather, some vanilla in the finish along with eathiness and some wood, pretty dry and works well with mild sweetness, lots of roasted malts and burned caramel later on, good amount of oak in the finish once it warms, cannot find anything wrong with the taste, drinks very easy and is simply complex, slightly sweet, dry, malty, oaky, and roasted mouthfeel, medium to full bodied, moderate level of carbonation, taste lingers pretty long for the style, drank this whole bottle without hesitation tonight, not even a little heavy on the stomach, only minor flaw is how dry and full of oak it is by the end, but it still goes down well and has great smoothness, my favorite of Stone's anniversary beers hands down, this has aged better than any porter I have ever had, hard to believe this is seven years old, stoked that I have another bottle to cellar for years to come, I hope Stone rebrews this someday as it is great beer, highly recommended

Dark black color, medium off white head. A BIG full-bodied porter, almost chewy. Roasted malts, chocolaty. Big chewy hoppiness. WOW whatta porter. Stone is usually over the top with their beers (this is NOT a bad thing) and this beer is no exception. Big and bold flavor with a very pronounced hop bite, yet it has a very smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. No alcohol bite, despite an 8.1% ABV. Etched beer bottle. Look very classy.

Opened up a few of my treasures this week: this was high on the list. Gorgeous bottle, though I won't be grading that.
Pours a dark brown, with ruby highlights. Really attractive. The nose is exemplary. Roasted fruits, some coffee and chocolate, and a whiff of malts.
Still a fine tasting brew, it's clear that this may be a bit past its peak (the flavors, while still strong, have gone just a tad flat ... which makes me wonder how amazing this beer must have been a year or two ago). Roasted dark fruits, chocolate, and roasted coffee. One of the stronger flavored, and best tasting, porters I've ever had. Can't think of a better one off the top of my head, actually.
Could, and would, drink this every week. Sadly, it is now but a memory.

I was lucky enough to find a bottle of this on ebay.com It was bottled in August of 2002 so it had already aged for a little over a year. This was extreamly tasty! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of having a Double Bastard right before I had this beer so I think my palate was somewhat shocked and numb.
This beer poured pitch black with a nice tan head that melted quickly into the liquid. Some small traces of lacing but a little too slippery....damn.
The aroma was intense. Huge chocolate hits the nose. Some smoke as well and a little bit of alcohol. Maybe some dark fruits in there as well. Nice...
This was one HUGE porter. The hops definately died down from the aging. This was the first tasting but it just seemed like the hops were not well pronounced but well hidden and balanced. Nice. Huge coffee flavor with some suddle chocolate and dark fruits. Alcohol was well hidden but still apparent. Very smooth and drinkable with a fantastic mouthfeel.
Sad that I only had one bottle. This was very very good!

Thanks to Skyhand for this bottle
Poured dark, depp red and brown with a dull light tan head that leaves some spots of lace on the pint.
Aroma is vinous, smkoy malt, roasted and some alcoholic tannins.
Flavor is strong smoky chocolate malt and some raisins with a resiny and gritty bittering. Excellent representation of style and great transitions of flavors.
Mouthfeel is sweet on the front end with a heavy roasted note and semi-floral and resined bitter note at the finish. Medium-bodied.
Drinkability is very solid. Well-blanced between chocloate and roasted notes with just the right of finish bittering. Stoen continues to amaze with their ability to produce such a broad array of beers that are all great.

This bottle was split b/w me, tikigodxxx, trbeer, and crjmellor the morning after the West Mich BA Gathering.
Aged 2 1/2 years. Pours black with purple hues around the sides and crimson on the bottom. My glass was lacking much of a head but some of the other glasses had a medium tan head. What head there was on mine faded quickly and there was no lacing.
I simply could not get enough of this aroma. Very bold, very complex, very,very good! Intense notes of alcohol mix with dark fruits leaving a portlike impression. Roasted coffee is there as well. Creamer, smoke, and maybe even wood.
The flavor almost matched up to the amazing aroma. Once again I'm getting a dark fruit sweetness akin to port or some kind of dessert wine. But the complexity, man oh man, roasted bittersweet chocolate and espresso evolve. Hops are almost non apparent, i think the aging might have something to do with that. Smoked barley seems to be the base of this beer and it really comes out in the finish. Alcohol is prevalent and very nice. Just intensity like I wouldn't believe a 2.5 year old porter could be.
Creamy mouthfeel and the sweetness coats my mouth. Robust as well. Smoke and alcohol kick add complexity. If anything is wrong with this beer though I was hoping for maybe a bit more liveliness in the body.
I tried to drink this slowly, but it was too good! I need more. Much thanks to Craig for providing this great beer.

Black but not opaque. Nice tan head laces nicely. This one isn't as smokey as their smoked porter (a good thing) but it is still noticeably smoky. Dark malts (predominately chocolate) are dominated by the citrus peel hops a bit. Not too overbalanced though.

I found the 6th Anniversary Porter at a small liquor store. Thinking, "Wow, I bet there aren't many of those left around here", I quickly snatched it up. Boy, was that a good idea!
It poured out of the 22oz bomber looking almost jet black except for the ruby-tinged edge that allowed in the faintest amount of light. A small yet persistent mottled tan head perched on top.
The smell was a nose-grabbing blend of strong espresso-like coffee, hints of dark chocolate, plums, prunes and other dark fruits, and a mild hops aroma. Also lurking in the background was a faint sweet alcohol smell.
Taste was magnificant. A huge shot of roasted coffee flavor which reminded me of some of the best coffee I've ever had (a Kenyan/Ethiopian blend), a sweet prunish taste asserted itself next, followed by the suggestion of bakers chocolate bitterness. A soothing warmth issued forth as the alcohol hit home.
Feel was full-bodied, with a velvety smoothness. The smallest sip fills your mouth.
A very satisfying beer. Only the alcohol content slows down the drinkability of this Stone creation. Even then, I just had a tough time pacing myself. A great follow-up to Stone's superb Smoked Porter. Get them if you can find them.

Appears a dark brown in the glass with a small tan head that left a couple of rings of lace around the glass. Roasted malts, some smokiness and a bit of chocolate covered dark fruits make up most of the aroma. Some alcohol is noticeable as well. The flavor also has a big roasty/smoky component over a nice dark chocolate. This is quite bitter and the hops are still alive in the flavor. Fruit notes are in the background. Very tasty. Good solid mouthfeel with a creamy fairly thick body. Easy drinking stuff for me as well. I would love to have a few bottles of this too bad I missed getting any when it came out. This held up fantastically over the last few years. Highly recommended. Thanks Ben.

A split Petaluma City Council voted Monday night to support unionized workers at the Petaluma Sheraton hotel in their negotiations with management in a 2-year-old contract dispute.
Mayor David Glass and Council Members Tiffany Renee, Teresa Barrett and Gabe Kearney agreed to send a letter urging Sheraton ownership to increase wages and to guarantee that, if the hotel ever is sold, a new owner would have to abide by the contract.
But Councilmen Chris Albertson, Mike Harris and Mike Healy said they preferred a more neutral letter encouraging continued negotiations.
The about 100 hotel workers represented by UNITEHERE are seeking "incremental wage increases" and a successor clause, which binds a new owner to existing contract provisions. The latest contract expired two years ago, and workers agreed to freeze their wages in the meantime.
Rim Hospitality, which manages the hotel, didn't offer a response to the city's request, and no hotel representatives attended the meeting. Renee said she was told by one of the owners that they wouldn't discuss the negotiations.
Kearney, who "grew up in a union house," said it would be an honor to support the workers.
"It's an absolute. We have to do this," Kearney said.
But Harris said he was uncomfortable "injecting ourselves" into apparently cordial negotiations.
Healy noted no one was claiming management was negotiating unfairly.
"The city of Petaluma needs to be pretty careful when it injects its nose into issues between employers and employees," he said.
Albertson said the successor clause sounded similar to a "me too" clause Petaluma city unions seek to ensure they all have the same rights -- to which he said the council hasn't been receptive.
"The hotel is successful. It's a success because of the employees who work there and because of management. You can't escape that," he said.
In July, Glass wrote a letter as mayor encouraging management to agree to the successor clause. He encouraged the whole council to sign a similar letter this time, saying division could send the wrong message.
He compared the successor clause to the guarantee that city workers have when they are hired -- that they will have certain "rights for life." Why not give the same "dignity" to the Sheraton employees, whose workplace was built partially with a city redevelopment loan, he argued.
The letter signed by the majority notes city money went into building the hotel and the city receives tax revenue from its occupancy.
It says a successor clause would assure employees that a new owner would continue "their hard-earned rights to access health care and other benefits."
A 2006 contract made the Sheraton the first union hotel in Sonoma County. The owners have said the hotel is not for sale.

Gardening Carolina
Appalachian Mountains,Piedmont and the Coastal areas.
The time at which vegetables are planted outdoors depends on the cold hardiness of a particular species or cultivar. Vegetables can be divided into two categories based on temperature requirements: cool-season and warm-season crops.
Cool-season vegetables originated in temperate climates and have their favorable growth period during the cool parts of the year. Cool-season crops grow poorly in summer heat. Though cool-season crops continue to grow well past the earliest freeze in the fall, they should be started early enough to mature before hard freezes are expected.
Warm-season crops primarily came from subtropical and tropical regions and require warm weather for seed germination and plant growth. They are injured or killed by freezing temperatures and should not be planted outdoors in the spring without protection or until the danger of freezing temperatures is past. Warm-season crops planted in the summer to mature in the fall should be planted early enough so they can be harvested before the killing freeze in the fall.
To determine when to plant cool- and warm-season vegetables in South Carolina, refer to Table 1. Knowing the number of days required to reach maturity, a gardener could determine the appropriate planting time for seeds and transplants by using the average dates of the first and last freezes in their area.
Piedmont: Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Chester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Greenville, Greenwood, Lancaster, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Saluda, Spartanburg, Union and York counties.
Central: Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, Marion, Marlboro, Orangeburg, Richland and Sumter counties.
Coastal: Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Hampton, Horry, Jasper and Williamsburg counties.
1 Dates shown are for the upper coastal plain and lower piedmont. In western North Carolina delay planting 10 to 20 days in spring. In eastern North Carolina plant 7 to 14 days earlier in the spring and 7 to 10 days later in the fall.
2 At these temperatures germination and emergence should be rapid. Planting at lower soil temperatures would delay or prevent germination.
3 Seeding depths and soil temperatures are given for gardeners who wish to grow their own plants.
4 Set plants with at least 50 percent of their length below ground.
5 Carries resistance to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, and root-knot nematodes.

I am a self-taught woodworker. We are not so lucky as you folks in the US that have all the schools that teach woodworking. My source for how to is the Internet and magazines.
During 04 to 05 i worked in Bay City Tx. Here i came across the Greene & Greene style furniture. Now this is what i would like to do. Since then i did a lot of research on the G&G style. It took some time to come up with some good designs. Will have a web site later on after i have done some furniture for the pictures that is needed for the web site
I am currently living in Bay City Tx and building furniture pieces in the Greene & Greene style.

I have been quiet lately. I have just finished a kitchen done in African Mahogany. A lovely wood to work with and the kitchen came out very nice. I bought same more AM to build the display cabinet for a big mining company. Only this time i was so "lucky" to purchase all the wrong boards. Wrong in the sense of stresses in the wood that you can not see. Only when ripping the boards for the legs which is 2.1 meters long that i found out what stresses these boards had. Every leg i cut went into a different direction so to speak. This also happened to the door stiles. I had to go back to the city to get some more wood, at an extra cost.

Wildfire warning
West Yorkshire firefighters dealt with an average of 26 grass fires every day throughout April 2011. Last weekend over 90 firefighters tackled a moorland blaze in Calderdale which consumed over four miles of countryside.
Moorland fires are difficult to tackle because they are often in inaccessible locations for fire appliances, there is little or no water supply, they often burn quickly and ferociously, especially driven by strong winds, and can be unpredictable, causing dangerous conditions for firefighters.
– Ian Bitcon, Acting Director of Fire Safety for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service
The sunshine is a welcome sight this Spring, but the warmer weather dries the countryside, increasing the risk of fire. In the majority of cases these fires are not life-threatening but they can be devastating to farmland, public open spaces and wildlife, which can take years to recover."
Countryside fire safety advice:
- Never throw lighted cigarette ends out of the windows of vehicles or trains
- Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children
- Take care when using BBQs and never leave cooking unattended. Safely dispose of BBQ rubbish
- Clear up and take your litter home after picnics
- Don't leave glass bottles - not only can they hurt people and animals, but they can magnify the sun's rays and start a fire
- If you notice anything suspicious, report it to Moor Watch or Crimestoppers

The Bangor Daily News published the fourth article in a yearlong series by Sandra Butler, a professor of social work at the University of Maine, and Luisa Deprez, a professor and department chair of sociology and women and gender studies at the University of Southern Maine. "Could your family live on $1.40 per meal?" is the pair's latest column to share stories of Mainers struggling in today's economy.
Due to ongoing power outages resulting from this week's ice storm, the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast remains closed. Updates on when the center will reopen are posted online.
Rep. Mick Devin of Newcastle, a researcher at the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center in Walpole, was interviewed for a Bangor Daily News story about winter wet storage of Maine oysters.
Devin submitted a bill to the state Legislature that would fast-track the wet storage permit application process so aquaculturists could more easily access stocks in the winter and improve the competitiveness of the fishery. The bill, he said, would keep public comment as part of the permitting process.
Oyster consumption has been on the rise, Devin said, and to "compete with other states, our oyster growers have to sell year-round."
The Bangor Daily News reported the Maine Medical Center Research Institute's tick submission program, which has identified ticks for Maine residents for 25 years, is expected to end because it has run out of funding. The staff members say they hope to see the program transferred to University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
Mainebiz reported Invisible Intelligence LLC, a Maine company producing a computer system for smaller airports that records radio transmissions, plans to hire an intern from the University of Maine. The intern will help develop the company's software for Google's Android and Apple's iOS platforms.
The Bangor Daily News reported on Spike TV's upcoming reality show "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty" that will feature Michael Merchant, a 2007 University of Maine graduate from Hampden. Merchant, who holds a bachelor's degree in biology, will pair with another Maine resident to compete against eight other teams of hunters who will try to capture Bigfoot or provide visual and DNA proof the creature exists. The show premieres Friday, Jan. 10.
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, spoke with the Portland Press Herald for an article about a Medicaid study being conducted by a contractor who was hired by Gov. Paul LePage. The study aims to look at ways MaineCare, Maine's Medicaid program, could grant health insurance to an additional 70,000 uninsured residents. Brewer said LePage's one-time praise of alternative methods of expanding health care coverage is unlikely to make results in the upcoming election year.
WVII (Channel 7) reported Bangor High School will benefit from a three-year, $750,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study stormwater runoff and its effect on local waterways. The University of Maine's College of Engineering is partnering with Bangor High School, as well as schools and water officials in Auburn and Portland, to complete the project that aims to encourage STEM education.
The Bangor Daily News published an opinion piece titled "What's unfair, volatile? A state tax structure that just won't change," by Sen. Richard Woodbury, a Yarmouth independent who has served five terms in the Legislature. The complete version of the article first appeared in Maine Policy Review, published by the University of Maine's Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center.
The proposed floating offshore wind project led by the University of Maine and its partner companies was cited in a Bangor Daily News editorial titled "The year in arguments: Five Maine, national matters we haven't seen the end of." The article states the pilot project "relies on developing technology that's innovative and Maine-grown."

Top CD Rates Continue at Digital Credit Union in MA - Easy Membership
In the last five months CD rates have continued to fall. For example, last August, I had nine banks and credit unions offering nationally available 5-year CDs with yields of at least 3.00%. Now there's only one on the list with a 3.00% APY, and that requires an active checking account. So it's a nice surprise to see that Digital Credit Union continues to offer the same CD and IRA CD rates as when I posted on these CDs in August.
Below are some of the best CD rates as listed in the DCU's rates page as of 1/24/2011. Note, these require a $25K minimum deposit ($500 for IRA) and the Loyalty Checking Plus relationship.
- 3.01% APY 5-year CD
- 2.51% APY 4-year CD
- 1.51% APY 1-year Add-On CD
- 1.35% APY 6-month Add-On CD
Without Loyalty Checking Plus relationship you'll earn 0.25% less than the rates shown above. Please refer to DCU's Loyalty Checking page to learn how to qualify for Loyalty Checking Plus.
The CD details are listed at the bottom of the DCU Certificate Application Checklist. The early withdrawal penalty for terms of 3 to 5 years is up to 180 days of dividends on the amount withdrawn.
For more details about other DCU certificates and other DCU perks like the remote deposit feature and free FICO credit scores, please refer to my August DCU review.
Credit Union Membership
Anyone can join DCU via membership in an association. Refer to this credit union page for the list of associations. The least expensive membership is $10 for joining Reach Out for Schools. You can be immediately eligible to join DCU if you live, work, worship or attend school in parts of Georgia and Massachusetts. Refer to the Join DCU page for the full details. I have more details about the application process in my August DCU review.
Credit Union Overview
Branches are located throughout Massachusetts and in Hudson, Merrimack, Manchester and Nashua in New Hampshire, in Colorado Springs, Colorado and in Alpharetta, Georgia. (branches were closed in CO & GA).
DCU is a large credit union with $3.56 billion in assets. It has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 3 out of 5 with a Texas Ratio of 26.13% (above average) based on September 2010 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Digital Credit Union for more details. DCU is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 23521).

Raise credit limit for exporters to 15 pc: Assocham
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Nov. 6
THE Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) has asked the RBI to hike the bank credit limit to exporters from 12 per cent to 15 per cent of the total bank credit.
The chamber has also asked the apex bank to accord exporters the priority sector lending status.
In its mid-term Credit Policy review, the RBI fixed the bank credit ceiling of 12 per cent for exporters.
In a memorandum submitted to RBI, the chamber said that raising the bank credit limit was a must because export performance had been consistently being going up. Credit limit of 15 per cent would further spur the export growth, said the chamber.
Assocham pointed out that exporters faced impediments in getting adequate and timely credit from banks, both at pre- and post-shipment stage. They are asked to provide collateral security and personal guarantees, the norms of which are stringent, and tough for first generation entrepreneurs.
To meet export finance requirements, the chamber also suggested to RBI to set up a `dollar window' and adopt a flexible interest rate policy.
According priority treatment to SMEs and agri-businesses in tune with the Budget proposals for fiscal 2005-06 has also been called for. Adopting flexible interest rate policy and setting up of a dollar window will facilitate disbursement of export credit in foreign currency. It will also provide larger access of banks' finance to industry, particularly small and medium enterprises.
The chamber said that in most of the developed economies of the world, dollar window facility is prevalent through which export finances can be obtained. But in India, this facility is hardly available. The chamber also suggested the creation of foreign currency assistance for exporters from forex reserves.

Various vendors and Winnebago County officials gathered at the Chicago Rockford International Airport Tuesday for an emergency signaling demonstration.
The event featured two vendors offering blue light emergency phone pods that can be used to communicate with authorities in case of an emergency. The lights themselves can also act as a crime deterrent.
"The physical presence of these machines or devices could actually deter crime," Winnebago County IT Integration Manager Todd Hughes said. "And not only that, if crime were to happen, in that physical location, it could actually record the crime and be helpful for law enforcement."
According to Hughes, the county is looking at the pods as a possible option, but who would pay for them or where they would be located has not yet been discussed.

comments, but it only shows the 30 most recent.
Apology and retraction for the troll comment.
You start with this:
Rewriting history must be so much fun
But end with THIS?!?!
when you get to ignore your own candidate talking herself to death, actively stirring old bigotries, and kissing off large and historically loyal portions of the party entirely and then slamming them because they would not support her. If she couldn't win as a Democratic candidate, she'd win as a white one, running against Clyburn, et al. And even that didn't work.
You warn against rewriting history, and then do it yourself. Nice.
The problem for you is that the American people listened to what she and her surrogates said and put their own meaning on it.... Nobody rewrote what she said.
Oh, so many responses. This CAMPAIGN is nothing but a fairytale? Is that what was said?!? The American people did not have Hillary in their living rooms talking to them. They got Hillary through the prism of the media. They got her words through the prism of the media. Give me a break!
Doing arty troll diaries changes nothing about that. Doing them now is an attempt to undercut a candidate with Republican methods, making him some sort of anti-democratic alien totalitarian, as the latest of many slurs. So the diarist can have a martyr myth of the virtuous and innocent candidate wrongfully beaten down by the evil ones. And just maybe the drumbeat of martyrdom for the one defeated by the American people will make him lose. Ha!
Ummm... yeah.... (perplexed)
You've got no diaries and about 30 comments in your one day here, and upthread you used one of your comments to stick up for a republican troll with no diaries and like 11 comments in his one day here.
Just sayin......
Draw your own conclusions.
* Users who are bashing or attacking any other user on the site, including authors of diaries and frontpage postings, will be banned. Candidates and politicians are fair game (but that doesn't mean you can use inflammatory language against candidates).
* Users who are excessively bashing the Democratic Party, or being Republican trolls, will be banned.
Let's see:
Rampant screwing around by spouse
Lying about so many things during an election that it will fill books for years to come.
Playing the race card with utter abandon until you wake up one morning and realise that your own stupidty has cost you 25% of the vote.
Making public your private thoughts about your opponent being shot before you again realize that most are not soul less, like yourself, and find you smell pretty bad now.
Still having to deal with that damn war that your pride won't allow you to apologize for.
Still having to deal with those dead people from Bosnia that someday you might have to answer for....along with your perverted husband.
Being so stupid that you gorget that their were camera's when you landed in Bosnia and even when it pernetrated your thick skull you continued to lie.
FL and MI. and not understanding that by lying and reneging you would piss off the MSM to the point that they would finally step up and support the other guy.
Why isn't that Republican troll banned yet?
is a shitty analogy.
In other words, there are no such things as analogies, there are only identical situations.
except that Olbermann's a bit more unhinged than that guy who talked about cutting down the "tall trees".
I'd like to thank all the Obama supporters who claim that those who don't like Keith Olbermann are not real Democrats...
and the Academy, of course. I can't forget to thank the Academy.
Please let me know if you don't understand why I gave it to you.
Josh, have you been reading the rec list? (1.66 / 3)
All the usual dead-enders now hate Olbermann as much or more than they hate(d) Obama. They can't let go of it.
I don't give a shit whom you vote for.
by Dumbo on Mon Jun 16, 2008 at 04:38:45 AM EST
I want a REAL journalist running the news! (1.87 / 8)
Like Katy Couric? Wolf Blitzer? Charley Gibson and George Steph? Britt Hume, Chris Matthews. lol.
But in the end, you just have to face up to the fact that the only "journalists" who shilled for Hillary (and are therefor "good") worked for Murdock, Scaife, and Limbaugh.
Anybody's vote is worth having. But not everybody's vote is worth campaigning for.

Week 15 Preview: Broncos vs. Ravens
Baltimore Ravens (9-4)
Sunday, 1pm at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD
I will be the first one to admit it, I knew Peyton Manning was good but I thought that whatever team won the "Manning Sweepstakes" in the offseason would be getting a Peyton Manning that would be far from 100 percent. I was wrong. Manning is having an MVP type year – the Broncos are tied for the second best record in the conference and are many people's favorite to go to the Super Bowl. The Ravens are coming into this game fresh off their first two-game losing streak since 2009, after firing their offensive coordinator and facing a quarterback that they have never beaten. This is a very tough task in what is surely a "must win" game for the Ravens. With a win, the Ravens clinch their fifth consecutive playoff berth. With a loss, the AFC North just became that much more interesting.
Here is my take on the game:
Ravens offense vs. Broncos defense
The Ravens brass finally made the move every fan was clamoring for: they fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and handed the reigns over to Jim Caldwell. I admit Cam's play calling was suspect a lot of the time, but last I checked he didn't throw one pass, miss one block or drop one pass. The coordinator makes a big difference, but ultimately if the players don't execute then there really is nothing that can be done by any coach. Also, Caldwell has never called plays in his career and his only professional head coaching stint was with Peyton Manning, so he will be learning on the job just as the players will be learning his system. The key to offensive success this week is for the Ravens offensive line to somehow block Von Miller. If they can't, they will struggle on offense no matter what Caldwell does. The Broncos defense is more than just Miller as they are top 7 in the NFL in both pass defense and rush defense. Jim Caldwell, welcome to the job, I don't envy your task this week. This Broncos defense is legit and maybe the best defense the Ravens have faced all season.
Advantage: Broncos
Broncos offense vs. Ravens defense
There is not really much analysis needed here, the Broncos have Peyton Manning under center and the Ravens defense has to stop him, something they have not been able to do since Manning entered the NFL. In addition to a hall of fame quarterback, the Broncos possess one of the best wide receiver tandems in the NFL in Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, who both have playmaking ability that will wreak havoc on the Ravens secondary. If the Ravens secondary presses the receivers at the line they will run by them deep, and if they play off of them they have the physicality and speed to turn a short pass into a touchdown. Dean Pees will have his hands full even if Suggs and Ray Lewis both play.
Advantage: Broncos
Special Teams:
This is the only area that the Ravens have the advantage. Special teams will likely decide if the Ravens have a chance to win the game or get blown out. Jacoby Jones will need to give the offense tremendous field position and the coverage team needs be stout and try to force turnovers. It's hard enough to stop Manning when he has to drive 80 yards, so giving him a short field would be even worse. Hopefully the special teams makes a big play, the Ravens will likely need it.
Advantage: Ravens
With all the hyping of the Broncos I have done, you would think that I give the Ravens no shot of winning this game, but that is not the case. The Broncos are good, however, 8 of their 10 wins have come against teams with losing records, beating the Raiders and Chargers twice and the Panthers, Chiefs and Saints among others. I know you can only play the teams on your schedule and it doesn't matter if you win ugly or pretty, but it is worth noting the teams the Broncos have played when analyzing the numbers they have put up this year. All signs point to a Denver win, and that would definitely be the smart pick, but I just have a gut feeling that the Ravens offense steps up and the defense or special teams force a turnover and the Ravens somehow leave the stadium Sunday afternoon at 10-4. I just don't see the Ravens losing three games in a row and two games in a row at home. Call me a homer, or an idiot, but the Ravens win in a shootout… although a blowout by Denver would not shock me either.
Ravens 34, Broncos 31

What game had your favorite/most useful AI partner(s)?
I've been saddled with some pretty useless/frustrating AI partners in the various games i've played. They get in the way, they ninja loot useful items or die stupid, stupid deaths over and over again. Heck, i've actually been known to shoot them myself. But there are exceptions to the rule and once in a blue moon you get to team up with "someone" who's genuinely helpful.
Shockingly (to those who've heard me rant about it) i'm going with Dragon's Dogma. And even tho the pawns don't know the meaning of "shut up" they sure can pull their weight -- last night they opened up such a surprise can of whoopass on an unsuspecting bunch of bandits, i couldn't help but whoop and cheer out loud! Then they picked up the loot for me and we were on our way to more adventures.
Btw, this can also be about which partners were the most fun to have around even if they weren't terribly competent -- Veronica from New Vegas comes to mind. Sure, she could punch a ghoul with that power fist of hers, but it was her company and bits of conversation that to me made her a swell travelling companion.
So what game had your favorite AI pal?

Nokia Web Tools is a set of products that support mobile web application evelopment for Series 40 Nokia devices. The products provide for project creation, coding, debugging, previewing, and deployment of web apps supported by comprehensive help. These feature have been created with the goal for making development easier, more productive and, hopefully, fun.
This release of Web Tools incorporates a number of significant changes including the following
- Support for version 1.5 of the webapp platform for Series 40 devices
- Eclipse JSDT replaces Aptana components as web authoring enabler
- New Simulator skins.with touch & type and non-touch profiles
- Debugging support for web apps
- Support for geography specific Data center
- Improved code assist and validation during app authoring and packaging
- Various Usability related enhancements such as new toolbar, better icons and labels
- Clearer preview workflow in the form of local and cloud preview
- Option for Developer feedback
- Option for running Network Diagnostics
- Support for Symbian Web Runtime has been deprecated. Earlier 1.2 release of the tools should be used if needed.
Installation and Update
Please note that Web Tools application must be installed using an account that has Administrator privilege.
Also the Web Tools should not be used from the Windows Guest account because of the amount of restrictions that account has. The user needs to have some minimal privileges like being able to read and write files from TEMP locations, and access network.Users should be using a Windows account that at least has the standard user account privileges.
- The 1.5.0 release can be used both in China and Rest of the world.
- This release is supported on Microsoft Windows 7, XP and Vista; Apple Mac OSX 10.6; and Linux Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bit). 64bit version of Ubuntu is not supported.
- When installing, install with Administrator Rights. For Windows install as Administrator, for Mac install as Superuser. In Linux you must have sudo privileges during installation.
- On Windows (English) Non-English characters should be avoided in the installation path of the Nokia Web Tools, it is recommended that the default installation location is used.
- Updates to Nokia Web Tools will be available from time to time.
- For WDE updates can be accessed from the Help menu by clicking Check for Updates.
- For the Simulator updates can be accessed using the Update feature in Settings dialog.
NOTE: If you update Web Development Environment or Web App Simulator, it is recommended that you check for update in the complimentary product also. If the Web Developer Enrolment and Web App Simulator are not updated together you may encounter issues with compatibility and the tools may not function as expected.
For more complete details on using the Nokia Web Tools, please review the Getting Started Guide. Additional documentation can be accessed via the Web Developer Channel page in the WDE.
Tips, Tricks, and Known Issues
- At this time Web app (WGT) size need to be kept below 500 KB in size. Else server preview may not work.
- Web App short name in config.xml is now mandatory and must be less than 50 characters in total length and only UTF-8 characters
- Moving from network to network may require restart of WDE and Simulator.
Web Developer Enviornment (WDE)
- A https proxy, in addition to http proxy, must be set for short URL generation to work.
- Non-English characters in project paths, project file names, and in paths to (including the file name itself) a WGT file should be avoided at this time.
- When proxy settings are needed for WDE on Ubuntu, and Mac manual proxy settings should be used in the WDE preference dialogue.
- When projects are opened and closed in project explore, occasionally the icons may not reflect the state change right away.
- It is strongly recommended that in the WDE Preference settings dialog the "Auto activation triggers for JSDoc" settings under JavaScript->Editor->Content Assist is not touched. Changing this setting will impact the way code assist is currently performed during JavaScript editing. Once changed, currently there is no easy way to reset the behavior to its default state without reinstalling the product.
Web App Simulator (WAS)
- WAS doesn't provide pixel perfect rendering of web apps, exact rendering is available by running your web app on a device. Therefore final validation should be done on the device.
- Adobe Flash Lite isn't supported in Series 40 web apps. You can access additional information regarding Flash on Nokia devices here.
- Using variables called "map" may cause the web app to render in correctly in WAS.
- Currently MWL callbacks from WAS, during cloud preview, cannot be secured. So during app development and testing it is recommended thatsensitive data be not used for what would normally be a secure prompt from the remote server.
- The WAS debugger can lose breakpoints in Mac and Linux environments when modified files are reloaded in an app being debugged, or the user switches between applications back and forth.
- While doing local preview for a project, the Simulator is currently not able to leave out project resources that are marked for exclusion in WDE.
- Currently scrollbars when visible in simulator will offset the viewable area by 4 pixels, vertically or horizontally. However, as long as the rendered content fits within the simulator viewable area, vertically or horizontally, without scrollbars showing, then there is no need to resize the content layout for fitting the supported device screen resolutions.
Web Developer Channel (WDC)
- There may be instances where new or updated Add-on's may not show up in the WDC. Relaunching the WDC will refresh the content.
Debugging with Web Tools
- Web app debugging can be done by launching the debugger from the Simulator toolbar. It must be noted that debugging is most useful when done during local preview.
Feedback, Help and Discussion Groups
- Please provide feedback through the Nokia Developer Discussion boards.
- Bugs or Suggestions can be submitted here. We look forward to hearing from you.

The Roundup: 4.5.2012
Ah, senior societies, the staple of ivy–covered universities everywhere. Highbrow was passed over for Ego this year (those bitches), but we didn't want to be in Sphinx anyway. Don't worry, though, we still got the down low low–down.
Not everyone was a happy camper while getting tapped for senior societies this week. Sources tell us Friars were being a bit too rowdy when they visited one female inductee's house, to the point where her housemates thought they were being robbed. Apparently, one of them was so scared that she hid in her closet and called the cops. Maybe try being a little more stealth next time, guys. But why let Friars have all the fun? Mortarboard covered their inductees in clam juice and chocolate from head–to-–toe. Hmm, cops or clam juice? We'll take what's behind door number three, please.
You may think it's hard getting into Blarney with a fake ID, but some of us have bigger problems. We hear ATO has been banned for life from the Irish establishment, after a 40–person brawl angered the managers and staff. Not sure how they'd enforce that, but Highbrow hears the brothers have been keeping their distance, hitting up Copa and Smoke's instead.
It looks like Tabard girls are finally in the home stretch of their pledging, ending a semester of vicarious embarrassment for all of us. Congrats, girls! But that doesn't mean they're getting off easy. In a task that was tres Parisien, the girls had to sport mime make–up and walk down Locust, carrying umbrellas and miming along the way. We're also told that some had to don swim caps while others were asked to draw on unibrows for a look that was possibly avant–garde, but probably just bizarre. Keep on keeping on, freshies, pretty soon you'll be sisters and you'll get to inflict this torture on others. Loves it!
Hot Highbrow fashion tip #672: nothing spices up an outfit like some bodily fluids. For girls modeling the trend, look no further than SDT. At a frat party last week, sources spotted three of the sorority's freshmen get in the way of some projectile vomiting by frat brothers. Yuck. Unfortunately for them, the bathrooms were either occupied or off–limits so the girls wandered the party for a while covered in puke before opting to go home and clean up. Really brings a new meaning to the phrase "sick outfit," doesn't it?

At American Solar, we get it right.
With more than a decade in business and over 4,500 solar electric system installations, our experience is unmatched in Arizona. We hold ourselves responsible for being experts in every aspect of our industry.
More importantly, we make it easy.
Our process starts with a no-obligation analysis and cost estimate. We're licensed, bonded, insured, and we never charge for the initial site visit.
- We review the last 12 months of your electricity usage.
- We go to your home and perform a detailed evaluation of your roof and your lot.
- We look at roof features (vents, chimneys, air conditioners, and satellite dishes). Shade matters, so we'll even be looking for how your neighbor's trees could affect your solar electric system installation.
- We are licensed roofers, so we will also assess the age, strength and condition of your roof. It makes no sense to install a new solar electric system on a failing roof.
- We'll talk with you about your objectives for solar electric offset. Most customers offset their utility bills at least 50%; we've seen offsets of up to 100%.
Once we have the data, American Solar will recommend a solar electric system that fits the needs of you and your family. We'll install low-profile solar panels for the best appearance, and when installing on a tile roof, we inset the array for a more integrated look.
Once the installation begins, you will have confidence knowing that American Solar's licenses are spotless, and that your home will be, too. Our goal is to leave your property cleaner than when we started.
Additionally, our team is constantly evaluating financing options and we have a menu of options – including low down payment leasing – researched and ready to go. We even help with the paperwork.
Here's the bottom line: we know solar better than anybody. There's power in experience.
We created American Solar to give our customers the power to choose excellence.

MONROE, La., (AP) - Two BP employees have been indicted on manslaughter charges in the 2010 Gulf oil spill disaster.
The federal indictment unsealed Thursday in New Orleans names BP well site leaders Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine. The indictment claims they acted negligently in their supervision of key safety tests performed on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig before an explosion killed 11 workers in April 2010.
The indictment says Kaluza and Vidrine failed to phone engineers onshore to alert them of problems in the drilling operation.
The charges come on the same day that BP announced that it has agreed to pay $4.5 billion in a settlement with the U.S. government to plead guilty to felony counts related to the deaths of 11 workers and lying to Congress.
Previous Report:
MONROE, La., (AP) - A person familiar with the deal says oil giant BP has agreed to pay a criminal penalty in the billions of dollars for the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about the deal, also said two BP employees face manslaughter charges over the death of 11 people in the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that triggered the massive spill.
The person said BP will plead guilty to obstruction for lying to Congress about how much oil was pouring out of the ruptured well.
