It pours a clear and carbonated dark tea amber brown. Two fingers of very light tan fizzy head settle quite slowly. Fingers of lacing tickle the inside of the glass.
In the aroma, underlying grain breathes caramel and molasses, while esters uncork a crisp, general spice blend that teases to a hint of complexity.
Upon tasting, the grain is toasted and sweet, mildly of sugar, caramel, and toffee. Here the spices separate in stages, first with clove boosted by esters and aromatic allspice. Ginger and nutmeg precede a soft but credible swath of alcohol. Baked bread and sweet residual grain are laced with cinnamon, prompting a display of crisp dryness that slowly fades into a muted, lingering bitterness. It's fairly creative and certainly Christmas-y.
Medium bodied, the carbonation peps, the grain slinks, and the spices scrub to a glow.
The spices come way forward in the flavor, a surprise considering their subdued presence in the aroma, but it's better for the assertion. Still, it could use more behind the spice to give it some semblance of balance and heft. The ABV is lithe and rangy, but it's workable and makes it a warm holiday quaff. This mulled ale is worth mulling over, from time to time.

A-Beautiful deep red brown with a huge light tan head that lasts forever
S-Malt and ginger with some clove in the background.
T-Spices come through with a malt and cherry sweetness that really shines when this warms a bit. The finish is dry and clean with an excellent hop balance to offset the sweetness. This is one tasty brew without being overpowered with seasonal spices.
M-A tad bit lighter than I was expecting, but that is not a bad thing. Above average carbonation, but overall very well done.
D-This is a very drinkable seasonal, and of everything that I have tasted yet this year...this is my hands down favorite when it comes to the spiced beer warmer variety. The cherry backdrop adds a very interesting twist to this, and while it sits behind the spices, it is a welcome and tasty addition.
I just had the opportunity to re-review this as somehow my local distributor just got a case of the 2008 version in from the brewery. The 2008 is far superior to the 2009 version, with a marked cherry character. Very nice, and a year has toned down the effervescent character that marked this last year.

Bottle from the brewery in Phoenixville & also had it on tap at their other location in Royersford.
Aroma is exceptional, even better than it tastes. Scents of nutmeg and cinnamon. Smells like Christmas. Lighter w/a lower abv for a Christmas Ale but still substantial. Very nice beer, drinkable and uncategorizable like a good winter/X-mas ale should be.
A standout from an underrated brewery.

A lovely light tan-chestnut colored ale that pours with a thick but not foamy off-white head. It leaves a thick lacing and remains a skim atop the brown ale.
Poured into a goblet.
The aroma has elements of slightly smokey malts and a vanilla sweetness.
On the palate there is a hint of chewy vanilla, a nutty bitterness, a bit of clove, cardamom and perhaps some dark fruit (prune/plumb/raisin). It is not cloyingly sweet. warming and refreshing at the same time. The vanilla is present and there is also a vague candy-cane mint.
The mouthfeel is nothing exceptional but it is also not bad. It is a bit fizzy but this doesn't offset the flavors. Neither does it particularly enhance this beer.
Slyfox 2008 is very drinkable. It goes down quite easy and leaves a clean sense on the tongue. Despite its dark richness it at no time becomes syrupy.

P- Knickerbocker in Altoona, PA.
from notes/memory
A- a nice root beer like color. Decent head that does hang around for bit. gorgeous black licorice highlites.
S- cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, figs and ginger. The cloves are in the forefront and dominate the smell.
T- taste mimics the smell. Alcohol is also present in the taste moreso than in the nose.
M- feels like xmas all over again. I feel like i should be opening presents. I nice winter warmer that goes down smooth and warms the trachea.
D- a great beer but it is a lil heavy that could take it down a notch ot two in my rating.

Big thanks to my Santa this year for providing me with both the 2007 and 2008 versions of this monster. This one was passed around during xmas dinner. Served a little below room temp and poured into a wine glass, this one was consumed on 12/25/2008.
The pour was very nice with a rich dark brown with mild light red hints on the side. Some sediment was visible in the bottom of the glass but nothing too extreme here at all. The head was beautiful though. Hige two inches plus of towering tan foam that refused to sit down, coating the sides and the bottom in tons of lacing and foam.
The aroma was top notch as well. Rich notes of cinnamon, spices, nutmeg, hints of vanilla and a light pepper like aroma all very clear here. Very earthy and warm, with only a hint of alcohol coming through. The flavor was more of the same. Rich with lots of anise and cinnamon leading the pack here. Smooth, mellow and subtle dark fruits as well really giving quite a bit of depth. Lots of carbonation and subtle flavor on the finish led this to be a fine sipper that really set off dinner quite well
Overall I thought this was great. Having been able to have the 07 and 08 in the same week, I have to say I am quite impressed. Really top notch stuff coming out of Sly Fox as usual.

In a nice little Christmas beer sampling in the middle of the spring, cracked this one open and poured it into my long-stemmed tulip glass.
The pour produces a garnet-hued body capped by a thick fluffy white head. There is no lacing to speak of, though after each sip, a few spotty bubbles linger on the walls of the glass and slowly slink back down into the beer.
Ginger, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg are all evident in the nose and balance nicely with the Munich malts that provide a nutty backbone. The taste tracks almost directly with my initial impression of the aroma, as the beautifully balanced spices really just serve to highlight the actual body of the beer itself. The only addition is a touch of caramel in the finish that lingers on the palate with cinnamon and clove.
Creamy, but light in consistency. Carbonated like a Belgian, but it doesn't overwhelm the palate and take away from the beer. This beer is very nicely done. The spice is clearly a focal point, but Sly Fox hit it right on the nose with the balance.

Finally getting to some reviews before my notebook bursts.
I got my holiday spirit from this beer. No joke.
The beer pours a deep brown with ruby hues. Creamy head fizzes out but allows for lacing in the glass. The aroma is very malt forward with subtle hints of spices. Nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla. Hints of yeast in the background. Allowed to sit some alcohol comes thru but is only very subtle.
The flavor is rich with malts. The spices are present but none are overpowering. This is where many spiced beers fall apart--inbalance with the spices and other ingrediants and its either to spicy or too thin in the body. I cannot find anything that is out of place in this beer. The spices are crisp and clean. No bitterness anywhere. Subtle hints of sugar and vanilla come thru. Some caramel. All balanced out nicely by malts. Solid medium body with a slightly warm finsih. In the mouth its nicely carbonated, smooth, and again finishes clean. It all adds up to a very drinkable beer. And I drank a good portion of the keg.

If u do happen to come across one make sure u got a glass ready; this gushes out in a hurry. Pillow-y light tan foam but quickly subsides. Dark auburn type color; a bit redder when held up to light. Smell of cloves and nutmeg, cinnamon, spice and all those things nice. Smells like some yummy type of spiced Christmas bread or cookie (as has been mentioned). A bit past medium mouthfeel that seems around where it should be; maybe the carbonation is a bit too much though. Spices are apparent in the taste but not too sweet to become cloying; I like the balance of this: not too over the top.
Hop bitterness on the backend. A sipper as any good Christmas ale should be. Overall, pretty solid.

On the growler station at Bellport Beer in early December. Appearance was great, dark amber color with a perfect head. Wonderful and powerful aromas of holiday spices. Taste is much of the same but very well balanced. A quintessential "Christmasy" beer. Overall a great beer to drink during this time of year. Had a bottled version later and was also excellent. Bellport Beer also has some bottles from 2007 that I havnt tried. The ABV is not high so I'm curious to see how it holds up.

Poured into a tulip glass. Clear dark mahogany color with a tan head and minimal lacing. Heavy spicy aroma in a very pleasant way. The clove cinnamon and nutmeg really standout to me here. While the spices are strong here they are not that sickly type of strong. I enjoyed this beer, to me it was almost like drinking and not so sweet Christmas cookie.

750 ml cage-corked bottle -
Best by 10/30/10:
Pours hazed reddish amber with a fluffy light brown head that descends and stays. Some trailing lace sticks.
The smell is Christmas-y - nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, ginger - pumpkin-pie-ish spicing with a touch of pine sap and a caramelish backing.
The taste is of Christmas spicing - nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, honey, etc. balanced by caramel candy sweetness that is slightly roasted to give more balance. Just a slight hint of warmth in the finish.
The body is medium with carbonation that is just a bit towards harsh.
A nice spicy sipper to have during the holidays, or as a holiday reminder. Enjoyable even "out of season" when looking for a spiced, but reasonably balanced, brew!

$2.99 on sale right after Christmas :). Pours a claylike brown color with a big rocky head (almost too much head). Pretty dark but with nice clarity. Aroma of lightly sprinkled cinnamon and metal. Taste starts a little weak. Begins a lot like other winter warmers out there. Nicely balanced cinnamon and malt with a peppery hop finish subdued by the rest of the malt and spices. If it weren't for the hop flavor at the end I'd say this was a little boring but they definitely bring out a little more of the alcohol and spice. Mouthfeel seems pretty dead on- nothing unique in itself but very right for this style. This beer has a lot of moderation in every category. Nothing leaps out as terribly amazing or unique but each aspect of it comes together very well with the others. Overall it's a very nicely put together beer, although it takes a few sips to realize it.

I am a fan of Harpoon's Winter Warmer because I'm big on cinnamon, so seeing that cinnamon was on the label got me pretty excited. Pretty brown-red color...burnt sienna? Smell is OK, some cinnamon in there. Much more balanced taste than the Harpoon. By that, I mean there is a hop flavor, and it is not just a sweet cinnamon bomb. Hearty mouthfeel, but not oily. Carbonation was good, but didn't help me out when I was opening the bottle (took a full 5 minutes or so). A pleasant beer to drink, but could go down a little easier.

A: Fantastic and frothy dark khaki head resting atop a very dark brown brew with specks of red.
S: Lots of spice, exactly like stated on the bottle. Prevalent ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg along with cookie-sweet malts that come in just after the onrush of holiday baking spices.
T: A spicy little number, all the holiday spices galore with a peppery kick when the back door closes.
M: Dry with just a touch of warming alcohol.
D: A very flavorful and enjoyable spiced brew.
I definitely have an affinity for beers that are brewed with these spices, so I definitely enjoyed this superb beer brewed with them. That being said, the beer reminded me alot of some pumpkin ales, DFH Punkin Ale in particular. This obviously comes from the use of the same barrage of spice, so while the beer was very good, it wasn't a standout simply because of the profile similarities.

Appearance: pours a copper color with a two finger head. Some mild lacing develops.
Smell: nutmeg, cinammon, and malt sweetness comes through.
Taste: malt, nutmeg, cinammon, pepper, red apple sweetness, and a nice bitterness. This is great on the spice level, not overpowering and enhances the flavor.
Mouthfeel: lightly crisp throughout. Medium bodied. Aftertaste has spices lingering for a few seconds.
Drinkability: very nice winter beer that does not blow away the tastebuds with overdone spices. Pick this one up.

Very good this year. A deep dark brown color and thick head that lasts throughout the beer. A definite cinnnamon and nutmeg taste as advertised. A beer I usually like to try once or twice every holiday season and as usual did not let me down. I suggest enjoying quickly, however, as I just tried a 2007 botle and thought it was a bit past its prime.

Received from sholland119 in Secret Santa 08.
Poured into a snifter. Reddish Brown with a 2 finger chestnut head.
Smell: Faint smells of nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon. I'm not too impressed here.
Taste: Maraschino Cherries, Cinnamon, and Ginger. It's a little on the sweet side and highly carbonated.
It's weird, but it works. The spices are perfect. Nothing stands out too much and it's not overspiced.
Thanks Scott!

The beer pours a ruby red color with a thick frothy offwhite head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a mild mlat scent that boasts of crystal and roasted malts along with a moderate dose of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The taste is decent as well. It has a dry, cinnamon and ginger flavor that's balanced with crystal and roasted malts. The spicing is a bit much for me. It has almost a medicinal feel to it. The mouthfeel is above average. It is a full bodied beer with too much CO2. I'm burping after every sip. This is a pretty good brew. I would like to see some more warmth and malt complexity with just a hint of spices. Not bad.

A solid christmas brew. Pours a deep brown/red with a tan head that defoamed rather quickly and left little lace. Tons of christmas spice in the nose and mouth, with nutmeg the predominate offender. Interesting cherry like notes in the taste, which was pleasant and kept me guessing. Great malt profile, with a nice hop bittering agent in the finish. The alcohol was well hidden. If not for the large spice presence, I could have gone for a second bomber. As is, one by myself was just right.

A: 750 ml corked and caged bottle served into an Imperial Pint glass. Beer is a clear deep, rich burnt sienna color that borders on dark red. 2-3 fingers of fizzy khaki-colored foam that recede to a nice, rocky, well-retained cap top the glass, leaving some fine lacing around the meniscus, but none clinging to the sides. Active carbonation and some floating particulate are evident throughout.
S: This one is all about the spices. Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves sit heavy on the nose, with the ginger being especially fresh and pungent. A slightly sweet caramel malt base is there. A hint of wild cherry becomes evident as the beer warms, and the nutmeg opens up at this point as well.
T/M: This is definitely spicy, but surprisingly well balanced. Much more spice-forward that last year's offering, the underlying caramel malt flavor supports a medium-bodied brew with a silky smooth mouthfeel and spot-on carbonation. The cinnamon and nutmeg are most prevalent on the palate at first, but as the beer warms, a previously undetected vanilla flavor comes out and tempers the spice. An ever-so-slight peppery hop bite greets the finish, which lingers and builds as the drink progresses.
D/O: I was really blown away when I had this on draft at a promo event, and am glad that the bottled version lived up. As I mention above, this is definitely a spicier version over last year's batch (the only other year I've tried), but not so much to the point of being overdone. It's complex and tasty, and the vanilla was certainly a treat I wasn't expecting to find. In my mind this is the epitome of a winter warmer: rich, malty, and flavorful with loads of traditional holiday tastes. I look forward to seeing how the 3 bottles I have left develop with time over the next couple of years.
Here's a thought if you're reading this Brian O'Reilly: how about a "Reserve" version of next year's offering with a higher OG and some barrel conditioning? I can only imagine what the spices and vanilla would do on wood if it had enough body to hold up to the aging. This year's release seems like a perfect candidate flavor-wise if it were a high enough ABV.

Saw this sitting in my local beer haunt for $6 and thought I'd give it a go.
The pour is on the pretty side of the spectrum. Attractive, deep red color with a pillowy tan head that I can draw shapes into with my finger.
Scents are probably the most appealing part of this, pretty as it is. Very fragrant with nutmeg, allspice and clove. A hint of banana bread/pumpkin bread going on.
Flavors are very top-note sweet. Some of those spices do linger on the palate but overall the profile is dominated by a sweet tea type of effect. References to eggnog. The only real bitterness to be found is from the spices.
Mouthfeel seems a little on the fence to me. I think it could stand to be either be lighter or denser. At the moment it feels a little bit undecided to me.
This would probably pair very well with a holiday themed meal. With fruitcake, squash soup, perhaps even something in a curry, the resonance would be nice. Worth a try.

Government rebuffs criticism over Jubilee stewards
The Government has dismissed claims that it is exploiting cheap Labour through its Work Programme, which was introduced to provide work experience for the long-term unemployed.
It follows allegations that a security firm, which is part of the programme, used jobseekers to steward the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and provided poor work conditions.
The case has raised questions not only about the Work Programme but also about the role of security firms during the Olympics.

Why are our police not required to have law degrees?
How are the police to enforce laws they do not know? What system is created when this occurs?
Jul 26 2013: The same reason firemen are not required to have physics degrees, and waitresses are not required to have nutrition degrees. The job description for a cop does not include being a member of the American Bar Association. Do you really think our problems would be reduced by adding MORE lawyers?
Jul 26 2013: I would speculate that like our teachers, society expects the best, but is unwilling to equate appropriate wages with the expectation. If someone obtains a law degree, why would they want to physically chase criminals when they could make more money pursuing them in court, in a safer environment? Another question might be: Why are more Americans not educated on the US Constitution, and their (eroding) civil rights? I agree with you though, seems there should be some form of continuous training (maybe there is?). I can tell you as a former supervisor (in manufacturing), we were always interacting with the company lawyer, being versed in legal/ethical behavior....Your question also raises other thoughts such as: How are you innocent until proven guilty, when you may not have committed a crime in the first place (if the officer is ignorant of the law). And in these instances, is one due monetary compensation relating to lost time and mental anguish, from the officer and the city/state/government that employs her/him? In relation to recent events, how are police to properly enforce laws, even with a law degree, without also having a formal education in cultural diversity? With the new Corporate Prisons, it is just a matter of time before police officers become employees/extensions of that system...how scary is that!!! For profit incarceration, enforcing only the laws that obtain the most return on the investment....Yikes! Respectfully, ghost.
Jul 25 2013: There are law enforcement degrees... And a number of police officers obtain these degrees in an effort to enhance their promotion eligibility. In fact, many lawyers are a little put out when police officers have some advanced knowledge of the law. There is a well known axiom that lawyers say to police officers... "if you don't practice law, I won't go around arresting people". Fair enough.
Jul 25 2013: from what I know, every police station has a lawyer who works in the station, I don't know for sure but imagine they help the police stay abreast of the laws.
Also, the police get a lot of training at the beginning and refresher training throughout, and this helps them to stay up on the laws.
also, the police frequently go to court and are exposed to the law there.
Also, they keep copies of the laws, for example the California penal code, at the station.
The police don't know all the laws, but they're doing pretty well.
Jul 25 2013: Most of the laws and how they fit together are outside the bounds of what police are charged with doing, so getting a full legal education would not be necessary.
Do you happen to know what sort of professional development police do get?
I ask this because people in a profession commonly are educated about the law that effects them. For example, teacher education includes training in the law that affects teachers in their practice, like what cannot be disclosed, what must be reported, and so forth. They may not know the whole body of case law that led to those conclusions and interpretations.
Before you sit on a hiring committee in the public sector, you need to go through a training so that you know what you may not ask the interviewee, what you may ask, and so forth.
Have you looked into the training police officers receive in areas that affect them?

Judo team runs for cover as meteor hits in Russia
CCTV footage captured the moment teachers and pupils scattered as the Russian meteor hit. The blast shattered the windows of the building in the Chelyabinsk region of the country.
Despite it not making contact, nearly 1,000 people were injured after the meteor exploded over Chelyabinsk in the Ural Mountains this morning.

I'd like to chaperone you to an audio visual trip of the mind, body and soul. A chamber opera for Soprano, Electric Trombone, Pilates Trapeze-table, Electronics and DJ. Kimisis is an introduction presentation by Australian Opera Director Konstantin Koukias and an entrée to the feast of original works that will follow. Hosted in one of Amsterdam's musical and cultural havens…an old bath house hidden in the center of the city. Splendor is a collective of musicians, composers, writers and other artists who have created a place for sharing dreams, experiments and imagination. 6, 7 & 8 April – 4 performances per day – 20mins duration. A perfect opportunity to whet your palate. Tickets can be booked through the Splendor website.
Sometimes the best way to respond to some silly immigration law, is to make an amusing campaign that's just as silly. This is Desperate Dave's Love Story - in response to being told that the only possibility for him to legally remain in the Netherlands is if he has a Dutch or European partner. Despite that he has lived here since 2008, paid taxes, purchased a home, started a business and actively contributes to the economic, cultural and creative landscape that makes this country such a great place to live. Dave claims "This is not a protest, but rather a fun last project if I am forced to leave. What I find interesting is that I don't know how this project will end… as it is being 'scripted' as it goes along." Here's a short bio about his creative management agency Zulus Can Draw, who genuinely offer a unique creative service. It would be a great shame if he has to shut up shop and head home. "Talented creatives around the world is in abundance. Getting noticed is not an easy task for many. Zulus Can Draw, an illustration based creative management agency was established with the intention to help promote talented South African based illustrators and graphic designers in the Dutch and European advertising industry. Some notable campaigns Zulus Can Draw has worked on include The Dutch Red Cross, McDonalds and Revive Recycled Paper." Tips, advice or words of encouragement can be sent to Dave here.
This was the image that featured on the cover of UK magazine – The Drum, who recently published a 48 page supplement on Amsterdam's advertising, design and digital industries. They spoke to some of the city's top agencies (eh hem, including yours truly) to find out why the Dutch capital is such a hotbed for creativity and why brands, agencies and creative talent want to establish themselves here. They also look at some of the international brands founded in the city, and how Amsterdam's global outlook has played a key role in their development. Officially you need a subscription to access the magazine, but I've put a sneaky link online where you can download the Amsterdam feature supplement. There's a bit of blowing our own trumpet, but it's still a strong showcase that presents Amsterdam as "a global game-changing hub of creative excellence". You can also read the online interview with Lode Schaeffer from INDIE, in which he compares the traditional advertising industry to a scene in Disney's The Jungle Book: "It's like King Louie's temple, falling down around him as he tries to hold it up, but it gets smaller and smaller until all he is left with is a little rock." Luckily for all of us (and our clients), Amsterdam is defining the new future of creative agencies.
I love festival season in the Netherlands – it's the time of year when this humble land likes to cock its colourful feathers and show off its hybrid creativity and endless imagination. I must admit that I've spent alot of my recreational time as a Buitenlander, plowing Amsterdam's underground habitat and basking in all its creative glory. What I truly love about these summer months, is seeing the real artisans of Amsterdam rise to the surface and tout their talents for all to see, hear, taste and touch…if you dare! Here are a few fave festivals to keep on your radar. More…
Whenever I come back to visit my homeland, I'm always amused, surprised and somewhat cringeful at the state of social disarray reflected by the official government advertising warnings. Australia is infamously known for its dangerous species, from the great white shark to the deadly red back spider. Now there appears to be a new threat lurking Down Under, known as… 'Drinkwalkers'. So prolific and volatile are they, that the Australian government has released a public awareness campaign warning citizens to "Watch out for Drinkwalkers". The official page of the Motor Accident Commission website reads: "Some Drinkwalkers can't remember how they got from one pub to the next, or how they got home. Like Sleepwalkers, Drinkwalkers don't know they're doing it. Which can been pretty annoying, inappropriate or just plain dangerous." Listen to the full radio commercial here.
The most deeply moving human stories you will ever hear are beautifully told by photographer Lisa Kristine in this 20min TED TALK. The atrocity of modern day slavery is something each and every one of us need to know about, and as consumers ensure we make responsible choices. Those of us who work within advertising, design, marketing and communication, have an even greater responsibility to use our skills and talents to find a way, so that their dreams — for freedom — can be realised in our lifetime. If only a part of the energy we put into helping our clients sell more products, was instead devoted to helping our fellow humans, experience what it is in fact, to be human.
I took this picture on a recent visit back to Australia. I walked out of the airport terminal, happy to smell the familiarity of my homeland again. And was greeted by this government warning / piece of personal advice. It made me smile, I was home.
[*a 'tosser' is Australian slang commonly used to describe someone who is a jerk or an idiot, AAB]
One of the things I love most about living in Amsterdam is continually being amazed and inspired by the astute people, recycled spaces and impressive events that take place in this little creative village. If you don't deviate away from your routine, scenic canal bike-route to and from the office, you might miss out on finding this one. Robodock is truly one of the most mindblowing experiences to come out of the Netherlands and it is taking place this weekend on 7, 8 & 9 of June at the ADM terrain in Amsterdam's Westport. Here you can come face to face with real fire breathing dragons by The Flaming Lotus Girls, watch a performing robot orchestra and interact with kinetic sculptures and gigantic fantasy creatures. Peter Hudson's Strobo Sculpture CHARON (see picture – taken by Trey Ratcliff) will also be there. This was one of the most awe-inspiring installations at last year's Burning Man. If you have never been to Robodock, you're in for an adventure that you'll remember for the rest of your life!
There was a recent 'Positive Protest' on the Dam Square to celebrate the arrival of Spring. The season when everyone smiles again and good vibes start rolling. The Waterbar was giving away cups of water charged with 'Positivity in Action'. The catch was, you needed to add your own positivity. So you were asked to think positive thoughts while drinking a nice cold cup of water. "Tastes much better, doesn't it!" declares Sorah, the Waterbar dealer.

Buttery Double Crust
My YJ Recipes
A simple, easy, and tasty pie crust recipe.
Ingredients2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons vegan nonhydrogenated margarine, chilled
8 tablespoons nonhydrogenated shortening
6 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Mix in the sugar. Add half the margarine and shortening, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, cutting it into the flour with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the flour mixture appears pebbly. Add the remaining margarine and shortening.
2. In a cup, combine 4 tablespoons of the ice water with the apple cider vinegar. Drizzle it into the flour by the tablespoonful, gently mixing the flour after each addition. Gently knead the dough a few times, adding more water until it holds together. You may only need the 4 tablespoons of water, but add up to 2 more tablespoons if necessary.
3. Divide the dough in half and place one portion on a lightly floured board. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. For a uniform circle, roll the pin 1 or 2 strokes outward, turn the dough a few degrees, roll a few times more, and repeat. Repeat with remaining half of the dough and use as directed in recipe.
Note: This recipe makes enough dough for one 9-inch top and bottom crust. If you're making a single crust pie, rather than cutting the recipe in half, just wrap the unused half of the dough well and freeze it for another use.

Assad regime 'must meet chemical weapons obligation'
President Assad's regime must meet their obligation to transport chemical weapons ahead of their destruction, the White House has said.
A report claimed the Syrian regime had given up less than 5 per cent of the weapons, while the US has expressed concern that efforts had fallen behind schedule.
"It is the Assad regime's responsibility to transport those chemicals to facilitate removal. We expect them to meet their obligation to do so," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Roots & Philosophy
Traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu transcends chokes, pins, takedowns, locks and strikes. It was originally designed to prepare all of its students – regardless of size, age, or fitness level – for a more effective and efficient life.
Through the amazing techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a student can learn to expend much less physical, emotional and mental energy than usual. In a combat context, this leaves a great deal more energy to defend oneself; in a larger context, it frees a student's energy from fear and anxiety, and allows them to live a more effective and happy life. If carried out to a natural, logical conclusion, Jiu-Jitsu can be applied to diet, clothing, business, finances – nearly every aspect of our daily lives.
In the course of studying BJJ, all parties must benefit equally from the techniques and activities in the dojo. At Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this concept manifests itself as cooperation and a sense of community among our members. Our great training partners help to make us great – without a cohesive, cooperative environment, it is impossible to learn an art like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is our goal to foster a sense of trust, community and genuine love for Jiu-Jitsu in order to create a safe, efficient and effective learning environment for all our students.
Most commonly, "jiu-jitsu" is translated as "the gentle art". Although India is frequently referred to as the birthplace of ancient jiu-jitsu, it is difficult to pin down its exact origins. In fact, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has its roots in the Japanese jiu-jitsu of the early 20th century, and in Jigoro Kano's massive renovation of the art during the latter part of the 19th century. Kano's innovations in training techniques – including the addition of safe and controlled sparring in a grappling context, called "randori" – led to great advances in the martial arts, and would contribute to the development of Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil.
"Gentle art" conveys the central idea behind both classical Japanese and modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – the idea of using strength in the most efficient way possible. Rather than resisting force with force, the practitioner uses efficient technique in an intelligent fashion to overcome raw strength and aggression. This is the philosophical core of Jiu-Jitsu; equipped with this principle, a smaller person can hope to defeat a bigger, stronger person.
History and Origins of "Jiu-Jitsu"
During the early part of the 20th century, a Japanese Judo and Jiu-Jitsu expert named Maeda came to Brazil as part of a diplomatic mission. He became friends with a local politician named Gastao Gracie; Maeda offered to teach Gracie's sons the art of Jiu-Jitsu. They became very proficient in jiu-jitsu, eventually opening their own schools and developing their own additions and modifications to the techniques they had been taught. As a test of their skills, the brothers fought many matches against other styles with great success. They based their developing martial art on this type of combat experience, a tradition which continues even today. As a result of this experience, they were able to continue to extend and modify the things they had learned from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu into a comprehensive, combat-realistic strategy for real-life, real-world self-defense.

Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash issued a stark warning about coal-burning utility plants Tuesday morning outside of DTE Energyĺs downtown Detroit headquarters
ôWe canĺt keep pumping this stuff into the air,ö Nash said to a crowd of 20. ôItĺs going to have an effect on us.ö
Nash joined representatives of the Sierra Club at a press conference to unveil the environmental nonprofitĺs ôDTE Hurtsö advertising campaign, a statewide effort that could catch the attention of some motorists driving along Detroit-area freeways in coming weeks. The organization is pushing for the utility company to invest more in renewable energy sources.
The campaign is aiming to ôunmask DTE as one of the most coal-dependent utilities in the country and show how its actions hurt Michigan familiesĺ health and pocketbook every day,ö according to a statement.
Thomas Reinke, owner of Self Reliant Company, a Fowlerville-based renewable energy firm, said heĺs watched numerous friends previously interested in developing such technologies in Michigan leave the state due to a lack of opportunities
ôWasnĺt Michigan the pioneer of developing technologies?ö Reinke, another speaker at the campaign launch, said. ôNow weĺre taking a back seat to the utility companies.
The Sierra Club cited Wayne County Ś home to DTEĺs coal-burning River Rouge and Trenton Channel plants Ś as having ôthe most pediatric asthma cases in the state, combined with the highest state population of those living in poverty.ö
Skiles Boyd, DTE Energyĺs vice president of environmental management and resources, called the ad campaign ôinaccurate and misleadingö in a statement Tuesday.
ôDTE Energy senior leadership had engaged in high-level discussions with the organization and frankly we are offended by the Sierra Clubĺs latest tactics,ö Boyd said in the statement.
The company spent more than $2 billion on wind power projects over the last few years, Boyd said.
ôRenewables are an important part of a diverse mix of energy sources that are necessary to help power Michigan,ö he said.
Over the last decade, the company spent $2 billion on emissions control systems to reduce emissions from coal-burning plants, Boyd said.
ôWe are committed to the growth of zero- and less-emitting generation in a way that minimizes the financial impact on our customers and in a way that supports Michiganĺs economy,ö Boyd said.
The ôDTE Hurtsö campaign will include media advertising and two billboards along the Southfield Freeway and I-275. Volunteers held prototypes of the billboards at the press conference that said, ôDTE, stop hurting families,ö next to a photo of an infant wearing an oxygen mask.
Nash said: ôIf the public really understood all the issues that surround coal, I donĺt think theyĺd support it.ö
Technology exists today that would make developing renewable energy on a large scale easier, Nash said.
ôWe can do this; we just have to decide to do this,ö Nash said. ôAmerica is going to thank us one day.ö

Retirement Soirée - Guest of Honor Julia Hudson – 30 Years of Public Service
Bridge to Success Partnership Changes Lives!
CCSF Performance Piece in the Diego Rivera Theater
New Exhibition at the City College Art Gallery
Rudy Padilla,
DTN Business Tech & Communication Coordinator
The CCSF community came together on December 5th to recognize and congratulate Julia Hudson for three decades of dedicated public service. Julia departs with a few words of wisdom worth recognition:
"What is retirement? Retirement is not just a one day event. It is the rest of our lives to conquer, to challenge, and evade defeat, by creating new ways and means to do, see, and discover whatever. That's what retirement is to me….retirement means that I'm just not tired, but I'm reaaallllllyyyyy retired! I'm like an old tire in need of a new retread, and the most important thing to me, and this is from my heart, is the depth of my appreciation of those who offered me support, encouragement, and kindness so that I can continue to pay my mission forward…
Each one of you……in my heart, I appreciate each one of you. You showed through your example the power of compassion. I am so grateful for the opportunities I've had to help others to advance through learning…
Now here we are three decades later. I found my mission, this is it! I've been living it. It pains me to leave it. But I must make room for others and embark on new challenges.
Some of my challenges will now be in the study of sleep-ology...television program-ology…walking the dog-ology…getting in the way of others-ology. It's payback time world…
Just maybe, I'll be able to check out all those senior discounts before the government figures out a way to outsource them."
By Ronald Drucker, Instructor, Chemistry Department, Ocean Campus
Co-Director, Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program
Hosea Nelson's high school teachers didn't nominate him for awards at his class graduation ceremony—in fact he stayed home that night, a dropout in his senior year. heHe'd been an All-State athlete in track, but classes bored him. Still, he earned his GED at City College, and after taking a geology class and liking it, he decided to try some chemistry classes.
For Armann Andaya the story was similar. He made it through high school, but nobody was predicting that he'd be successful down the road. He too came to City College and started taking science classes.
What a difference ten years can make. Hosea visited to CCSF earlier this year to describe his doctoral research in Caltech's chemistry department, where he achieved remarkable results in natural products synthesis. He now has a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley and he's aiming for a top-tier academic job. Armann spoke to a City College audience last month, the ink barely dry on his Ph.D. from UC Davis, where he's continuing his biological research while job offers keep coming in from biotech companies.
Hosea and Armann are alumni of the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program, a partnership among CCSF, San Francisco State University, and several other community colleges, that began in 1993. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the program recruits students from groups that are underrepresented in the sciences, including African-Americans, Latina/os, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders. These students work with faculty mentors, attend challenging research seminars, and receive financial support to carry out summer research at SFSU, Cal, and other institutions.
During the past two months, these students' abilities have been on display on the national stage. In early October, three recent participants—Vanessa Cota, Adriana Garcia, and Anael Rizzo, presented their findings at the annual SACNAS meeting in San Antonio, Texas. Vanessa was chosen to receive a special award for the quality of her work. Seven more Bridges students traveled to Nashville in early November to give similar presentations at the ABRCMS national meeting: Monique Ceberio, Bayardo Gutierrez-Garay, Estella Orpilla, Arturo Ruvalcava, Alan Saunders, Cleve Sherman, and Brandon Young. Here too the City College cohort included a winner of a special award, which went to Monique Ceberio.
All ten of these student presenters have either transferred to four-year universities this fall or expect to do so within a year or two. Over the life of the program 70% of the participants have transferred to four-year institutions, and of those students, 78% have graduated with degrees in biomedical sciences. More than 40% of the graduates have entered advanced degree programs with excellent results:
• 9 students have earned Ph.D.'s (with 10 more still at work on their degrees).
• 13 students have earned MD degrees.
• 14 students have earned degrees in pharmacy, dentistry, or osteopathy.
• 30 students have earned Masters degrees in a variety of scientific fields.
Pat Wynne, Labor Studies
Director, Pat Wynne, is proud to present the Labor Heritage/Rockin' Solidarity Chorus, that will perform its Great Migration-MoTown and Michael Moore performance piece on December 19 at 7:00pm, in the Diego Rivera Theater at CCSF.
The chorus is joined by wonderful actor and singers, such as: Charles Alston, Johnella Brooks, and Vukani Mawetho, Marilyn Reynolds, and Alex and Harriet Bagwell.
This is a wonderful piece of African American history mixed with MoTown music, spirituals, and folk genre. It will include personal stories about the Migration, as well as a selection from Michael Moore's memoir that pulls it all together.
We start at 6:30pm with a pot-luck dinner. Food and performance are free to the public.
We invite everyone to come and enjoy this wonderful moment.

In June of 2008, the Iowa River crested at levels never before seen, destroying two University of Iowa buildings beyond recovery and damaging 20 others.
Yet in spite of it all, the university closed for only one week.
Now, five years later recovery is finally beginning to take shape.
Every project starts with a plan. Each takes precision, patience, and perseverance.
And as University of Iowa art students and staff have learned, any successful undertaking requires flexibility.
"Adaptability is the key," said Steve McGuire, school of art and art history professor.
Nobody could have imagined that five years after the flood, students like Andi Hemauer would be studying in a converted Menards warehouse far from campus.
"I wish the facilities would be a little better and on campus, but it is what it is," Hemauer said.
Not even university president Sally Mason could have predicted the magnitude of devastation.
"I know people were frustrated with a number that just kept getting bigger, but you really don't know until you get into those facilities, until you get into those utility tunnels, until you get into the power plant, that you begin to appreciate just how much damage was done on campus," she said.
The total cost of the university's flood recovery is now projected in the range of $1 billion -- a daunting amount.
"People come up to me and say, 'Oh you're over the flood.' No, no," Mason said. "We still have a lot of steps to take. We still have a lot of work to be done."
The Hancher Voxman-Clapp Complex and Art Building are damaged beyond repair and still await demolition.
This year's graduating class has never seen the bottom floors of the Iowa Memorial Union.
And art and music students continue to work out of temporary facilities.
But brighter days lie ahead.
The University hit a turning point reopening Art Building West in January of 2012.
It's the first major project to come back and now many more will soon begin.
"This is unprecedented for our campus, our state, and we'll never see that much work on this campus again," said Rod Lehnertz with University Iowa's Facilities Management.
The university is getting closer to the construction of its three replacement projects.
The centerpiece of its flood recovery, Hancher, a new School of Music building, and the new Art building will begin soon, costing close to $400 million.
"What we're going to see in the next four or five years will be transformational for our campus," Lehnertz said.
Just as important, officials are building to protect from future disasters.
The replacement projects will be built outside of the 500-year floodplain.
The arrangement with FEMA allows the university to protect its flood-prone areas up to two feet above 2008's flood level.
"We're very confident that we're at a whole different place than we were pre-2008. I wouldn't say I'd be inviting a 2008 flood to this campus, but there's no doubt that we will be better protected," Lehnertz said.
By 2016, the bulk of recovery will be done.
Future art students who follow Hemauer are expected to be in their new home on campus.
The university's vision that began eight years before will finally become reality -- a true work of art.
"I have to give our people great credit to understand there would be a bright side, and we simply had to work hard to get to that, and we're all starting to see that now, and it's exciting," Mason said.
Strange formation at bottom of Utah irrigation pond baffles farmers and scientists. John Hollenhorst reports.

Drama Movie
A drama movie can fascinate you through its variety of themes, conflicts and treatments. Because drama movies represent what can happen in real life, these are considered common film elements. The situations involved in a drama movie are realistic, as the main focus is set on emotions. You do not necessarily have to cry while watching a drama movie on television, in theaters or through the Internet. Some drama films are actually more subtle, putting on display some aspects of ordinary living. This means that you cannot just judge a good drama movie on its ability to make you burst into tears, but also on its ability to make you emphatise with the main character. The characters are supposed to show their emotional and character development.
Subcategories of a drama movie
Due to its varied themes, a drama movie can still be divided into sub-genres. A romantic drama movie deals with a romantic relationship that is tested by many obstacles, such as tragic events. The focus is on the development of romantic emotions amid despair. A crime or legal drama movie can still be heart-wrenching but mostly involves themes such crimes and the justice system. A legal drama movie may take the side of either the accused or the accuser, while a historical drama movie focuses on notable historical events. A biographical drama movie portrays the life of real persons-- historical or contemporary.
Themes used in a drama movie
Like in other genres, drama movies encounter recurring themes. These themes include, but are not limited to, the following: mental illness, fight for civil rights, injustice, social or community problems, intergenerational conflict, political conflict, wars and controversial topics.
A drama movie makes use of themes that can produce highly emotional story lines or, at least, significant character development. Note that the war movie, which may be considered a genre in itself, is included in the themes a drama movie may use. This is because war can elicit very strong emotions.
The drama movie versus the action movie
A drama movie can be slow-moving at first. The inner turmoil of its characters, however, may still be expressed in other ways, such as through dialogue or facial expressions. Compared to a drama movie, an action movie stresses more on the physical action rather than the character development. Action movie heroes also do not necessarily deliver complicated acting, but their actors have to keep in shape to be convincing.

3There's Some Drama Going Down Between Bobbi Kristina Brown and Her Brother
Bunch of weirdos.
Word on the street (no, like, literally—the street, as in the street that Bobbi Kristina wrecked yet another car on, also, like last time, a Camaro) is that Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon, her boyfriend-brother-betrothed are no longer together. And Bobbi Kristina wrecked a car. Here's the photo of the totaled Camaro:
If you're sitting there and thinking to yourself, "Hey, this photo looks a lot like another photo I've seen somewhere before," you're right. Because this totaled car looks a lot like the one that was totaled back in September. I'm not going to bother showing you that photo, because honestly, it'd be like looking at the picture above, just at night.
Anyway, sources are saying that Bobbi and Nick have officially called it quits, and, after being real, real upset about this new relationship status, Bobbi took it to the highway and ended up going over an embankment with her Camaro. A Good Samaritan phoned in the report when they noticed the car sitting at the bottom of the ditch and Bobbi standing next to it, staring at it like it was going to get up and drive away from the accident or something.
And they're making a reality show out of this shit? SMH, guys. S. M. H.

I kind of feel sorry for this kid. She looks exactly like her butt-ugly dad!
Bobbi Kristina is not ugly…..she is a pretty girl…..The poor girl had to deal with alot of bullsh@t in her young life…..leave her the hell alone….I hope someone judges you, just as harshly some day……karma is a bitch!….be careful what you put out there!

Henry Owens seems to have flown a bit under the radar since he was drafted 36th overall. Signed to a seven-figure signing bonus, left-handed, and with a high ceiling, it's not clear exactly why that is.
Already throwing in the low-90s with movement, Owens should be able to build that even higher with some added work as he packs some more muscle onto his 6'7" frame. Already sporting a strong curveball to go with it, Owens will need to develop a third offering if he wants to stick as a starter. He currently sports a changeup, but has also been working on a slider.
Advanced for his age at 19 years old, Owens should be ready to hold his own against competition at whatever lower level the Red Sox choose to place him. If the numbers match the expectations, it should be an easy climb up the charts for Owens.

LOS ANGELES, CA - JULY 08: President of HDNet Mark Cuban speaks during the 2008 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour for HDNet held at the Beverly Hilton hotel on July 8, 2008 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)
For most NFL fans, the excitement is palpable.
The first primetime NFL Draft is scheduled to begin tonight, ending months of speculation and inducing fervent debate across the national football landscape. Most are coasting through the work day with the knowledge that beer, wings and the NFL's version of Christmas morning await them on the other side.
But not everyone is happy.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who has criticized the NFL at least once in the past, is not a fan of the new draft format, which will inevitably steal viewers from tonight's slate of NBA playoff games.
"I just don't think the NFL is playing themselves out to be a good partner," Cuban said, per the Dallas Morning News. "You can't operate professional sports in a vacuum ... It's a cyclical business. Always has been. Always will be. How you treat people when you're at the top is usually a good reflection on how they treat you when you're on your way down."
Cuban continued, per the DMN, that the NBA doesn't play games on the night of the NCAA basketball championship.
Of course, in January, Cuban took aim at "The League" after the Cowboys-Eagles wild card round playoff game was scheduled for a Saturday night, opposite a crucial Mavericks home game.
"I know we're just little piss-ants compared to the NFL, but seriously, the NFL is turning into the ugly American when it comes to sports leagues," said Cuban, who, not for nothing, considers Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones a friend. "They don't give a crap about anybody but themselves."

CROMWELL—The fire marshal is investigating the cause of a Cromwell house fire.
Around 5:30pm Tuesday afternoon, the homeowner at 6 River Park Dr. smelled smoke and called 9-1-1. By the time the chief got there, he saw smoke and called in some back-up.
The homeowner told firefighters the dryer caught on fire, but they're still looking to see if that was the case.
The house had heat and smoke damage throughout, firefighters on the scene weren't able to speculate a dollar amount of damages. No one was hurt.

The Vermont Breakthrough! How a Human Rights Movement Is Winning a Healthcare System that Puts People First
Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign
Since 2008, the Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign has been working to make universal healthcare a reality in Vermont. In 2011, our people's movement succeeded in getting a groundbreaking law passed: Act 48, which commits Vermont to creating a healthcare system providing healthcare as a public good and ensuring everyone can get the healthcare they need, when they need it.
We credit our success to our unique model: combining a human rights framework – the cornerstone of which is our 5 human rights principles – with a strategy to organize our communities and build a grassroots, statewide base of people committed to healthcare as a human right.
If Vermont can move away from treating healthcare as a commodity in a market system and implement publicly financed universal healthcare, we can lead the way for others across the United States to do the same. Inspired by Vermont, people in Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania and other states have started their own Healthcare Is a Human Right campaigns.
As we head down the road to implementing his new system, the next three years are critical. Before 2017, the state of Vermont is required to decide what care is included in the healthcare system, and create a plan to pay for it with public funds. It's up to us to make sure that these measures fulfill our human right to healthcare by ensuring that everyone gets the care they need, when they need it, and paying for the system in an equitable way. Once Vermont gets federal permission to opt out of the exchange in 2017, we will implement our own universal healthcare system.
Insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, big business employers and their lobbyists are all working hard to prevent universal healthcare from ever happening, so we must keep our eyes on the prize and stay on the road toward healthcare as a human right in Vermont – and nationwide!
What we need now is your participation to make universal healthcare a reality in Vermont!
Take Action:
- Join a local Organizing Committee or attend a Healthcare Is a Human Right event
- Support our on-the-ground organizing with a donation
- Write a letter to the editor
- Print and share this flyer (below) with your neighbors and co-workers

Yeah it is along with the buschwakcer tailgate cap but i want it to be color matched to the truck.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
I forgot what i used but i will look tomorrow and ler you know man. This paint and clear has went well together and after you do 2 or 3 coats of the gloss black paint i have wait 15 minutes in between and you can go ahead and start doing coats of clear coat like 2 or 3 and then your done and just wait until next day to install is what i do. I painted my center caps to match my truck and the paint and clear coat i was using was not doing right until after waiting forever for the paint to dry before clear coat otherwise the paint would have cracks in it and have to start all over lol

Any plans to paint the silver gauge cluster? Been looking at it to see how to get it out. What paint brands are you using? I picked up a can of the SEM black hoping it will match the factory black since it was $14 a can Has anyone tried out the black chome paint kit I've seen at the auto stores? Thinking about trying it on the rear bumper
Now you can pop off the top dash part that covers the instrument panel. There are 3 snap in clips on the back of it so pop it up and pull towards you.
You will need to pop the bezel thats around the radio and the bezel that is around your headlight controls..you dont have to take them off just po the corners off to help you pull the bezel around the gauges off easier.
Now there is 2 screws in top corners you need to remove. Once you have those out, there are 2 snap clips on the bottom corners..pull straight out and the bezel should now be free. You may now notice its tricky maneuvering it around the shifter...sooooo
I usually turn the truck on at this point and engae the parking brake...depress the brake...put in the truck in to first gear. This will make it easier to get the bezel out.
If your going to be painting these parts I recommend either sanding them with a 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper to get the shine off prior to paint. Or if you have a Lowes they sell a plastic primer made by Valspar...its to promote adhesion to plastic. Its not a primer like a grey primer you usually see... it goes on clear but follow the directions and you wont have to worry about the paint lifting off down the road.
If your trying to color match your exterior paint I recommend Auotmotivethouchup.com. You can get the paint code off the sticker in your glove box and order the paint to match in a spray can along with a ready to spray clear coat.
They also sell a ready to spray base and clear coat in pint,quart or gallon if you have the gun/compressor already. Unless your painting an entire car a most compressors guys own will work for individual dash parts. If its a 5 gallon or less you may have issues.
If your painting anything on your trucks interior take your time...dont rush anything...you can end up pulling your hair out if you have to redo parts. Solvent based paints on plastics can act weird when you start sanding and repainting.

Awesome tips sstoner911 Thanks. The light coat tip is the greatest tip but hardest to do lol.
If you are using a base paint and a clear for me its easier than using a gloss paint like Krylon Fusion for plastic for example. If you get a run in the base coat no biggies sand it and repaint.
If I am going to get runs its always in the clear it seems. You can either cut the run off with a razor blade or if its small enough just add a few more coats of clear and wet sand to even it out. A razor blade can be your best friend!
Nice info man ha yeah it is hard not too lay too much paint down at one time. I just finished another piece in inside of my truck yesterday and came out great. I really wanna get me a paint gun and see how much better it would be? I will first buy me a little cheap paint gun just to try out on the air compressor. How much easier is it to use the spray gun compared to the spray can?
If you have a Harbor Freight store or check them online. They have lots of tools that are cheap. I've bought a few with good results & have been looking at their paint sprayers. My father inlaw is a contractor & said the tools there are good unless your a pro, so not bad for a hobbiest or to learn with.
Yeah thanks man. I might have to hold out on buying things right now other than a few small things for the truck like getting recon cab roof lights installed and finish painting inside of my truck. I have to get surgery sometime in march and thank god i have good insurance through the military otherwise i wouldn't pay as less as i will be lol.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
1st route on the Reflector Oven. Climb corner up broken rock until you can step into the base of an overhanging corner (about 20 feet). Careful placing pro as much of the rock is delicate. Clip a solid bolt and head through the crux - an overhanging 30 foot crack/layback system. Rest at top of crack and continue through small finger crack and slab finish. Don't blow the final slab moves. Not the crux, but protection is sparse.
1st route when you hit the Reflector Oven.
Standard rack. 1 bolt. Anchors at the top. An extra # 1 and # 3 BD cam are helpful if you like to sew it up.
