Britannia has represented Britain for almost 2,000 years, reflecting the strengths and interests of this island nation. She first appeared on Roman coins and from 1672 has graced the coins of every British monarch. In 1987 came an important new coin, the Britannia. And from 2013 she will begin a new chapter as the changing face of Britain, with a new design by a British artist each year, new and purer precious metals and new denominations – including this Britannia Gold Proof Twentieth-Ounce Coin, fine, and so beautiful.
An iconic symbol Britannia is instantly recognisable in all her incarnations, from the early personification of Britain on Roman coins to the Victorian ruler of the waves complete with warrior's helmet and Neptune's trident. She is always of her time, each new depiction a mirror of Britain. The 2013 Britannia artist, portrait sculptor Robert Hunt, has created a traditional Britannia, seated in a pose recalling the familiar reverse design of the 50p and draped in classical robes. But his Britannia turns her head to listen to the wider world, a wisdom encapsulated in the owl – a most modern twist.
Every detail of his design is just as striking on this, one of the most delicate coins in our range, as on larger examples. The coin contains a twentieth-ounce of fine gold – at .9999, our purest ever. The design will be available for one year only, simply a must for collectors, or the perfect gift for a special occasion in 2013.
Since Tudor times Britannia has been called upon to represent Britain and her interests, very much a reflection of a point in history. From 2013 the design for Britannia coins will change each year, every one a new interpretation of what she embodies. There is no better time to begin a Britannia collection or to refresh your existing collection – and this twentieth-ounce coin is the ideal way to own one of Britain's premier gold coins – and a work of art in miniature!
Gold coins make wonderful gifts – a traditional way to mark an event in a particular year. Delight someone with this beautiful coin of .9999 fine gold – a gift that will be treasured forever.

By Lai Sze,
it is too small you can't see the words on the coin. When I received I feel a bit of disappointed. However, the price is affordable and I like it is 9999 fine gold.

Brain drain is a positive indicator. When an individual leaves her hometown, she benefits. The community did an excellent job educating its children. The best and brightest migrate. Michigan has decided to put a stop to all of this economic development:
Michigan is working to keep college graduates in the state, and new legislation seeks to slow the "brain drain" with an additional incentive: A tax credit for student loan payments.
"For me, it's kind of a first step in talent retention," said sponsoring state Rep. Andy Schor, D-Lansing, "We have some of the best colleges and universities in the world, but people get educated here and then leave for Chicago or San Francisco or some place else. We need to keep them in Michigan, and we need to keep them in our cities."
House Bill 4182, up for testimony this week before the newly-formed Michigan Competitiveness Committee, would provide a state income tax credit to residents making student loan payments after graduating with a bachelor's degree from a Michigan university or college.
House Bill 4182 treads on well-worn policy turf. States, counties, and cities all hatch the same tired schemes when college graduation season kicks off. The anxiety about brain drain is ubiquitous. The solutions offered don't work. Rep. Andy Schor, D-Lansing, hasn't done his homework.
What the bill does do is offer a tax break to recent college graduates burdened with student loans. That might inform a host of benefits. Talent retention isn't likely one of them. Regardless, the subsidy is expensive. All the former students who would have stayed, law or no law, will cash in on the opportunity. Even if more people do stay, the return on investment will be lousy.
I'll let you in on a dirty little secret. Michigan brain drain is a myth, a folktale. The state has a brain gain problem. No one wants to move to a Rust Belt hellhole. Ask Ann Arbor about its struggles to attract talent. Detroit has cast a pall over all of Michigan.
Schor should help out technology start-ups. Recent college graduates from any U.S. institution of higher learning who go to work for a small business would receive the student loan tax credit. What Michigan needs is a talent attraction subsidy, an incentive that works with the tendency of the young and college educated to relocate. Trying to root this demographic is both foolish and counterproductive.

Research interests
I am involved in many collaborative studies on the outbreak and persistence of infectious disease.
My work has five interrelated themes:
- Ecological statistics: how can we test theories about spatiotemporal variation using abundance data?
- Population dynamics: how do the interactions between individuals and between individuals and the environment determine fluctuations in abundance? What are the effects of heterogeneity in the environment?
- Interactions between species: how do competition, predation and parasitism affect disease dynamics?
- Spatial dynamics: what causes regional synchrony or asynchrony in fluctuations?
- Ecology of infectious disease: how do host and pathogen characteristics affect incidence of disease?
I combine mathematical modelling with analysis of empirical data sets to generate and test hypotheses.
- Introduction to Population Dynamics
This course explore the area of 'population dynamics' which seeks to describe the patterns of fluctuation in abundance in space and time, and seeks to understand the processes that that underlies these fluctuations. The course illustrate conceptual/theoretical aspects and discuss important applied issues (relating to biocontrol, pest managment, population harvesting). The computer labs use computational frameworks to simulate, validate and parameterize ecological models. The aim of the course is two-fold: the lectures will be centered on concepts and theories, the labs will focus on implementation and hands-on exercises with data and models. We will work through a variety of examples using real and simulated data sets.

There are two methods for activating the Windows 7 and 8 products. These methods are dependent on where you will install it.
If you purchase the Windows 7 or 8 operating system via cash, personal check or personal credit card from the University Center, Computer Sales area to install on your personal computer, the activation works the same as it does on other software that you purchase from a retail store. You'll use the product activation key that is included in the packaging. Simple. That's all you need to know!
Please read the following information if you purchase the Windows 7 or 8 operating system from the University Center, Computer Sales area to install on a departmental or Carnegie Mellon owned computer.
The installation process that we recommend differs depending on whether you typically use the computer on or off campus; on-campus is defined as having your computer connected to the wired/wireless campus network at least once every 180 days. Follow the appropriate steps below:
If you typically use your computer ON-CAMPUS, activate via our KMS server. Follow these steps:
In the event that the automated KMS activation process fails, follow these steps:
cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /skms kms1.andrew.cmu.edu:1688
Windows Vista Enterprise:
cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk VKK3X-68KWM-X2YGT-QR4M6-4BWMV
Windows 7 Enterprise:
cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk 33PXH-7Y6KF-2VJC9-XBBR8-HVTHH
Windows 8 Enterprise:
cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ipk 32JNW-9KQ84-P47T8-D8GGY-CWCK7
cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato
cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dlv
If you typically use your computer OFF-CAMPUS, activate using our campus MAK.
If you travel or use your computer off-campus for extended periods, you should follow the MAK activation installation steps included below. When Windows 7 or 8 is activated using the KMS method, the Windows 7 or 8 client attempts to reactivate (i.e., contact the campus KMS server) every seven days. If it cannot contact the KMS within 180 days of the last activation, it will enter Reduced Functionality Mode. In this situation, you will need to enter the MAK key that was included on the original packaging in order to gain access to your computer. For this reason, we recommend that you use the MAK activation steps if you travel or use your computer away from campus for extended periods. Follow the steps below:
Whether you've activated via the MAK or KMS method, you can verify product activation by following these steps:

Well this one is surprisingly easy…my bike accident. Before that happened I probably would have had to compare various sports or athletic related injuries…but getting hit by a truck certainly takes the cake. I won't go into a lot of detail since I went pretty in depth on it when it first happened but if you are curious…you can read more about it here.
Have a wonderful day everyone! And try to show some love to your fellow bloggers, friends, colleagues, or just a random stranger today!

energy, also known as green energy or renewable energy, is produced from
renewable sources of energy such as water, wind, solar energy and coal so as to
help preserve energy and the environment at the same time. It is the kind of energy,
which meets the present requirements of the planet without compromising on its future
requirements. The use of clean energy actively promotes the reduction of global
warming and greenhouse gas emissions, which are the leading environmental problems
of today. Let's have a closer look at the main issues the clean energy sector
is currently facing.

Mr. Ashok Athre is an engineer and an IITian and has currently established himself as a successful entrepreneur and the founder of Transparent Energy Systems, a venture that is worth over Rs. 200 crores at present.Dr. Uma Rajarathnam has a Masters and a Doctorate in Environmental Science and is currently heading Enzen Global Solutions. Dr. Uma has 22 years of rich experience in providing expert solutions in the areas of the environment and energy efficiency.
awareness about the importance of water purifier amongst the masses in the
bottom of the pyramid is the one of the core issues of today. People do not see
the need for clean energy. For instance, let us take a look at home clean
energy. One of the most prominent products of this sector is water purifiers. Water
purifier companies in India are currently facing a demand side issue. As India
is a developing nation, it goes without saying that a lot of people live below
the poverty line, earning as much as a hundred rupees a day. Needless to say,
survival is primary and hygiene is secondary for these people. The correct
approach would be to change the mind-set of these people and make them realize
the importance of clean energy.
Statistics state that around 85% visits to hospitals are made because of water borne diseases and most of the time people end up paying for their medical bills from their own pocket.
If you average out the total amount of money paid as hospital bills for one entire family, it amounts to more than the amount required to purchase a water purifier. Hence, to tackle this problem, water purifier companies have partnered with micro finance institutions to avail EMI payment methods to those who cannot afford direct down payments. This approach revolves around the concept of "prevention is better than cure"
This issue mainly depends on how an entrepreneur can create the next set of entrepreneurs within the organization itself. It is important to groom your employees to the highest standards of technical and managerial proficiency. However, doing this can pose another problem. With all sorts of growth opportunities, retaining these highly qualified employees becomes the next problem. This is where passion and promise comes into the picture. When it comes to scaling up a clean tech business, another important thing is to face challenges and take bold steps. The more you believe in your decisions, the more likely you are to succeed.
When it comes to pricing clean tech products, there is no one rule to the game. A clean tech company deals with a variety of different customers and each category should be approached uniquely.
The input cost of a clean tech product can get pretty high and hence, it is important to stay transparent in the eye of the consumer.
It is important to make the consumer believe that the values that are shown on paper are available in real life too. Hence, it can be concluded that it's all about building confidence in the customer that you've brought value to the table.
major hunk of the Indian population does not feel the need to buy a water
purifier. Hence, raising awareness about the importance of clean water is the
need of the hour. However, there is good news. The awareness has shot up
recently which reflects the progress of rural India. People have realized the
need for prevention and are currently giving importance to the idea of clean
energy. In a recent survey, it was found that over 70% of people agreed to buy
water purifiers once they were told about its benefits. However, this number
soon came down, thus exposing a gap between intention and action on behalf of
the customers. Apart from this, it is established that rural people look for a
brand they can trust and this trust can be built by a healthy combination of
two way interactions, post sales service and aspirational value. With a blend
of demand generation and rural marketing, we should see a significant rise in
the use of clean energy very soon.

A Brooklyn woman who dishes out her family's cuisine from a food truck has a bitter taste in her mouth after someone made off with her wheels. NY1's Mahsa Saeidi filed the following report.
Cynthia Hosein made her dreams come true last year, investing around $70,000 in a food truck, a truck that police say was stolen.
"I put everything into that truck, it was bought with my credit cards, I borrowed money," said Hosein. "I wasn't sure if it was a prank or it was real."
Cynthia says on Saturday night, her truck was in the parking lot behind her family's restaurant on Church Avenue in Brooklyn. The next day she came to work and realized her truck was gone.
"How I'm going to pay my bills, I have car payments, I have rent, I have other bills to pay, what am I going to do?" Hosein said.
For decades, Cynthia's parents have owned Nio's Trinidadian Roti Shop in East Flatbush. They serve all kinds of Caribbean dishes, including curry goat, chicken, and Kurma, a crunchy sweet snack. Cynthia makes a living by selling this food to New Yorkers on the go.
"I came here everyday, I actually purchased the food from the restaurant," Hosein said.
Her mother Zorine worries the crime will never be solved.
"It's really sad, it was just parked up there, and someone came up and stole the truck and drive away," Hosein said.
Cynthia served up her family's fare five days a week in the Financial District and also East Flatbush. Regular customers say they can't believe this has happened.
"That's sad, that's real sad, I'm gonna miss it," said one customer.
"Usually I go for a walk, I grab one of the curry slice, stew chicken and rice and peas, and I'm not going to get that anymore, it's going to remove the flavor that I enjoy at lunch," said another customer.
Cynthia's hope now is that someone out there has information on the theft and that they call police.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Policy on the Issuance of Colorado Personal Identity Verification - Interoperable (PIV-I) Cards (issued 2010)
Colorado Electronic Signature Guidelines (issued 2007)
In response to HSPD 12, the NIST Computer Security Division initiated a new program for improving the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors for access to Federal facilities and information systems. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, entitled Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors, was developed to satisfy the requirements of HSPD 12, approved by the Secretary of Commerce, and issued on February 25, 2005.
FIPS 201 incorporates three technical publications specifying several aspects of the required administrative procedures and technical specifications that may change as the standard is implemented and used. NIST Special Publication 800-73, "Interfaces for Personal Identity Verification" specifies the interface and data elements of the PIV card; NIST Special Publication 800-76, Biometric Data Specification for Personal Identity Verification" specifies the technical acquisition and formatting requirements for biometric data of the PIV system; and NIST Special Publication 800-78, "Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification" specifies the acceptable cryptographic algorithms and key sizes to be implemented and used for the PIV system.
In addition, a number of guidelines, reference implementations, and conformance tests have been identified as being needed to: implement and use the PIV system; protect the personal privacy of all subscribers of the PIV system; authenticate identity source documents to obtain the correct legal name of the person applying for a PIV "card"; electronically obtain and store required biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, facial images) from the PIV system subscriber; create a PIV "card" that is "personalized" with data needed by the PIV system to later grant access to the subscriber to Federal facilities and information systems; assure appropriate levels of security for all applicable Federal applications; and provide interoperability among Federal organizations using the standards. These activities will be pursued as resources permit.
SAML, developed by the Security Services Technical Committee of OASIS, is an XML-based framework for communicating user authentication, entitlement, and attribute information. As its name suggests, SAML allows business entities to make assertions regarding the identity, attributes, and entitlements of a subject (an entity that is often a human user) to other entities, such as a partner company or another enterprise application.
|Liberty Identity Assurance Framework
In today's information economy, trust is the necessary foundation for secure interoperability, and central to the successful realization of what's possible on the Web. From the user perspective as well as that of the deploying organization, it's an issue of who is trusted with what -- and that requires policy, business and technology understanding and infrastructure. Thus the Liberty Alliance emerged: a first-of-its-kind standards organization with a global membership that provides a holistic approach to identity.
The LIAF leverages the EAP Trust Framework [EAPTrustFramework] and the US E-Authentication Federation Credential Assessment Framework ([CAF]) as a baseline in forming the criteria for a harmonized, best-of-breed industry identity assurance standard. The LIAF is a framework supporting mutual acceptance, validation, and life cycle maintenance across identity federations. The main components of the LIAF are detailed discussions of Assurance Level criteria, Service and Credential Assessment Criteria, an Accreditation and Certification Model, and the associated business rules.

WATCH: Creator of first gun made with 3D Printer discusses legal challenges with Glenn
Many fans will remember Cody Wilson as one of the most interesting guests that Glenn has had on the show in a long time. Wilson has pioneered the effort to make 3D printed guns and to widely distribute those files on the internet for free. In doing so, he threatens to disrupt the very idea of gun control because 3D printers are rapidly approaching a price where they could be purchased by the average consumer. Well, since his first appearance on the program Wilson has managed to successfully print and fire the gun. He opened up to Glenn about what that has meant for him as he faces legal challenges and finds himself on the forefront of history.

Beautiful Rug that looks really nice in a sun room.
VERY happy with rug! Came quickly, colors PERFECT in our room, feels soft and plush. Very good experience for our first online rug purchase.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
After buying a blue gradient rug from home decorators catalog which fell apart within a week due to shoddy manufacturing, appeared lackluster, and shed blue clumps all over the carpet, this rug far exceeded my expectations for online purchasing in sight unseen. It is large and beautiful, well-constructed, and this web site does have the best price for this particular rug on the internet! I have this rug in my 1 bedroom apartment, in the living area, and I bought it -I think - in the 7' size for about [$]with the coupon code, but it isn't too large. It creates a welcomed ambiance and makes my apartment look like a special place. Quality, function, and beauty merge together. I am very happy! I have had this rug for about a week. It is worth paying a few hundred more for something that doesn't look like it came from a garage sale. I love online shopping because of the large extent of specific, interesting items for decorating and I am glad there are some home decorating web sites that I can trust, such as this!

With an ageing population, Ireland's doctors will write 40pc more prescriptions by 2021 and we need to plan for this, a healthcare symposium heard today.
Sandra Gannon, General Manager of Teva Pharmaceutical Ireland, Ireland's largest supplier of prescription medicines, warned that "medicine usage is no different from any other part of our healthcare system, we must have a long-term national strategy to meet future demands and to ensure Irish patients do not lose out".
Today's symposium brought together national and international experts to debate and discuss where medicine policy in Ireland now stands and to examine how we manage, meet and afford medicine needs of the Irish population in the years ahead.
The event was also attended by healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, GPs and consultants, health policymakers, healthcare economists and patients' representatives.
According to Ms. Gannon: "demands on our health services are growing so long-term planning is critical. We already know that the provision of medicines to patients is facing challenges brought about by an ageing population which is living longer and the increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes or obesity. This will place huge pressures on our current provision of medicines to patients, not least in terms of the affordability, sustainability and availability of such medicines, However, we currently do not have a long term strategy mapping how we achieve this objectives - we need to start planning for the future now".
Fellow speaker, Patrick Moore, Trinity College Health Economist and a Researcher currently working as part of the Government's TILDA Research Project, which aims to survey and predict the healthcare needs of Ireland's older population in the decades' ahead noted.
"Projecting ahead based on emerging health data, it is reasonable to expect the number of medicine prescriptions prescribed in Ireland will increase by almost 40pc (38pc) by 2021. This amounts to an increase from 76 million prescriptions per annum in 2012 to 105 million by 2021 and will present huge challenges, particularly in terms of affordability".
Adrian van den Hoven, Director General of the European Generic Medicine Association, speaking at the symposium also noted that spending on medicine will rise sharply.
"It is estimated that speciality or high-tech medicines will account for up to 50pc of national medicine expenditure across the EU by 2018. However, a pro-active move to increased use of biosimilar medicines and complex generics in European healthcare systems offers a significant opportunity for national governments to maintain the affordability and availability of medicines to patients, without compromising on patient care".
Attendees also heard calls for Government to develop and implement, following consultation with key stakeholders, a National Strategy on Medicine Usage, which will map future medicine demands for the next decade and ensure that patients' healthcare care needs are prioritised.

The milk is pasteurized (raw milk is illegal in NC) in such a way as to retain the creaminess of the milk. Since I can't drink milk (due to IBS), I had Jon do a taste test. I had him taste the 2% milk from the store and then the 2% from Homeland Creamery. He knew instantly which was the "new" milk because he said it tasted much creamier. He said the store bought 2% tasted like water in comparison.
There's a small store on the way to preschool that carries Homeland Creamery's milk. It is more expensive then the milk I used to buy at Walmart but only by $1.50 a gallon. That may sound like a lot but when I did the math and realized that our 10 gallons a month would only cost us an extra $15, we decided it was worth it. That's less then it would cost for us to go out to eat. I'm happy to support a local farm that raises their animals humanely, the milk tastes better, and the milk is better for my family.
They also sell homemade butter. We don't go through much butter since Jon and kids mostly just use it on toast so this pound of butter should last a long while.
The last thing I bought was a half gallon of heavy cream. The ice cream recipe I use calls for 1 cup of cream (along with 3 cups of whole milk) so I divided the rest up into freezer containers and now I have 7 cups of cream in the freezer ready for the next batch of ice cream.
I've linked this post up with Simple Lives Thursday.

By Tony Best
With the NFL in full swing, it's the season for crazy playoff predictions, merciless smack-talking and sharpening "Madden 13" skills to a fine point. And, it's a time when Monday nights get a little less dreary. That's right – it's the return of "Monday Night Football," now running 43 seasons strong and still racking up significant rating shares.
In honor of gridiron glory at the start of the week (and in memoriam of NFL Films visionary Steve Sabol, RIP), we've put together an assemblage of some standout "MNF" spots from the last four decades.
1970 Under the aegis of designer Harry Marks, ABC's creative team produced this hallucinatory promo for "MNF's" launch, replete with trippy graphics and horror movie-style narration.
The Juice gets loose in this '74 regular season opener, a time when O.J. Simpson was still someone you'd want spearheading your campaign.
The Bears and William "The Refrigerator" Perry smash their way to the Super Bowl Shuffle. "You'll love it!"
The following season, Williams's song established itself as a trademark, behind a bold integration featuring ABC hits such as "Perfect Strangers" and "America's Funniest Home Videos," not to mention an appearance by Bo Jackson, who made some of his most exciting plays on Monday nights. Bo knows promo!
For its silver anniversary, Monday Night Football rolled out a hilarious spot auditioning an array of possible new theme song performers, including a doo-wop group and an elderly accordionist. In the end, the by-now-old standard won out: Williams. Are you ready for some football?

Brighton and it's pier always a treasure trove of images Jo, very good candid. As for PC's we have had a run on electrical breakdowns one being Maggies PC, we purchased a Acer AX3950 and it's perfect. My old tower is next and the freezer went this morning

Excellent candid in mono, Jo, and I like the reflections on the left
I just read Ron's comment. I bought an Acer Aspire X3990 last year and I LOVE IT. Core i3 processor (although computers probably come with better stuff now) and 2GB of RAM. I bought a 4GB RAM chip and shoved that in and it runs quite fast. I don't know how much these Acers will cost in the UK, though. Mine cost 350 pounds over here at the time.
Whatever you get, get enough RAM (4GB will be enough)...but you probably knew that already anyway.

They always have these shelters at the seaside eh, and they always seem to be full of old people watching the world go by...maybe I'll be one of em soon!
Have you thought about a laptop Jo? I got a reconditioned one from Currys, which has been great really..it was about 350 sovs, a Philips with 4gb of Ram.

USPS: No Rate Increase on Periodicals in 2010
Ruling will save publishers millions of dollars.
Having logged its 11th quarterly loss out of the last 12 quarters in August, magazine publishers have been waiting anxiously to find out how the United States Postal Service might raise its rates for mailers in 2010. Some speculated a 2 percent to 3 percent rate hike could come next May.
In a statement released to various customer groups in mid-October, the USPS put the question to rest, saying it ŌĆ£will not increase prices for market dominant products in calendar year 2010.ŌĆØ That includes First Class, Standard Mail, periodicals and single-piece Parcel Post.
ŌĆ£While increasing prices might have generated revenue for the Postal Service in the short term, the long term effect could drive additional mail out of the system,ŌĆØ USPS said in the statement.
ŌĆ£This is good news, and I now suggest that those who followed my earlier advice or otherwise budgeted a small rate increase for next year ought to reconsider and eliminate any increase from your budget,ŌĆØ Thompson Coburn LLP and postal counsel to American Business Media David Straus wrote in a message to ABM members. ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt forget that the new USPS ŌĆśdroop testŌĆÖ [which measures the flexibility of magazines and catalogs] for flats that takes effect in January could cause some publications to experience a significant increase in postal charges if they are too ŌĆśdroopy.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Just two days before the USPSŌĆÖ official announcement, postmaster general and CEO John E. Potter told publishing executives gathered at the Magazine Publishers of AmericaŌĆÖs Innovation Summit in New York City that the USPS had ŌĆ£an extreme prejudiceŌĆØ against making a rate change next year. Potter was interviewed by Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black during an afternoon keynote.
According to BlackŌĆÖs introductory remarks, 7 billion magazines were mailed last year, costing roughly $3 billion. Subscription makes up approximately 90 percent of total magazine circulation, she said.
ŌĆ£These problems are a national issue,ŌĆØ said Potter. ŌĆ£The American people own the postal service. We need to have conversations with all the stakeholders who care about what happens to the postal service [to determine what to do].ŌĆØ

Best Beers of 2012
Like making a year-end list of best records, creating a list of one's favorite is a silly yet necessary exercise. Silly because who really cares? Necessary because everybody's doing it. In no particular order, here are beers that were either released this year, discovered by me this year, or finally made sense to me this year. I apologize upfront for the IPA-heavy list. I'm a hop head and have trouble remembering what I thought about most sours, stouts, Saisons, etc.
Trappist Westvleteren 12
I've had Westy before, but it was a small sample at the end of an evening of craft beer debauchery. My bother "won" one of those lottos just to get a chance to buy and $85 six pack. He shared as family is wont to do over the holiday. Half a bottle was more than enough for me to fully appreciate what many consider to be the best beer in the world. I don't know about all of that or even if it's the best Belgian quad, but it's very very good.
Goose Island King Henry
This may have been released in 2011, but we never saw it locally. One evening in Lincoln, Nebraska at an excellent pizza joint offered me the opportunity to try this magnificent beast.
Bells Black Note Stout
I should not have had a glass of this beer, but I did. A sample was sneaked to me as I had to leave a Bells dinner. Imagine the molasses-fueled deliciousness of Expedition, mixed with the sweetness of a milk stout, and brewed in bourbon barrels. Even then, you can't imagine how glorious this beer tasted.
Three Floyds Zombie Dust
I love me some APA's but this one is on another level. So much Citra. So good.
Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA
Specially released IPA's from Stone are all over my list. This one featured an amped-up version of what was my epiphany beer, if that was even possible… Of course it was! This was as good a tribute as any brewery has ever brewed.
Stone Enjoy By 12.21.12 IPA
I actually preferred this one to the September version. It's possible this one was fresher, but both were consumed well before their best by dates. The idea of a ridiculously fresh IPA is nothing new, but this release made it a priority. There's no way one of these will ever sit on shelves too long. I hope they continue to brew Best By IPA's.
Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek (2008)
Obviously, this beer was not from this year, but I finally opened it and was glad I did. No one does lambics and sours like Cantillon. Probably no other more obvious sentence has ever been uttered regarding beer. Lou Pepe was no exception. I suspect the aging altered the beer, but I doubt I wouldn't have loved it a couple of years ago.
Boulevard Rye-On-Rye
This one is on the brain as I just picked up the latest release of this great Smokestack Series brew. I always liked this beer but never really got it until this year. I don't know whether that's trying so many inferior rye beers or just the ongoing development of my palate, but it's so rich and so good. Aside from Boulevard's Saison Brett (another all-time favorite that could make this list every year), this is one of the true Missouri craft beer treasures.
The Bruery 5 Golden Rings
I stumbled upon one of these at a Whole Paycheck the day before Xmas Eve and figured it would make the perfect Xmas dinner drink. And it did. No one outside of these guys and Stillwater consistently make beers that go better with food. I was lucky I paced myself of this one would have put me under the table.
Broadway Brewery Columbus Single Hop IPA
Never in my wildest dreams would I have figured a beer brewed here in Columbia, MO would make a list like this, but this one stacks up. I'm sure the freshness factor comes into play here, but I dragged a growler nine hours to Ohio, another three to Cleveland – all of it in a cooler that was probably not properly chilled and a growler that was not properly filled to the top – and the beer survived. Hell, it did better than survive. It was downright delicious.
Odell The Meddler Oud Bruin
I had nearly given up on Odell's special releases, but this one was decently priced and I like to try anything new in this style. The beer was beautiful from appearance to aroma to the all-important flavors within. It paired well with whatever I was eating that night. This beer renewed my faith in Odell.
Schlafly Tasmanian IPA (TIPA)
Schlafly has been experimenting with different varieties of hops, mostly through special keg-only releases and cask ale. Still, this one was a nice little surprise. It's one of those beers that nails the hoppiness hop heads are always after, causing us to want to drink one after the other.
Millstream Great Pumpkin Imperial Stout
This is how pumpkin ale should be done. Screw the pumpkin pie and sour varieties. Put your pumpkin in an imperial stout or Baltic porter! As an imperial stout, it's not my favorite. However, it made me rethink pumpkin beers just as I was writing them off.
Treble Kicker Beer New Slang Saison
My own Saison is easily one of my favorites. I upped the ante with this year's version for my partner's tenure celebration. More lemon zest and rosemary = a punch in the face Saison that is not playing around. Add in some dry-hopped Sorachi Ace hops and you have a lemon bomb/balm that needs to brewed again and soon.
Stone 16th Anniversary IPA
This one was met with many mixed reviews, but I loved the twist this one offered some lemon verbena and rye-induced spice that made for one of the more interesting/surprising beers this year.
Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA
Why isn't the white/wheat IPA more popular? Because no one wants to take on Deschutes' hold on hoppy beers. No one hops a beer like Deschutes. No one.
Tallgrass 8-Bit Pale Ale
This was my beer of the summer. Refreshingly hoppy goodness in a can carried me through record-setting heat, including a 30-mile bike ride.
Green Flash Rayon Vert
I'm not sure how long this beer has been around, but it made its first appearances in middle-Missouri earlier this year and I'm sure glad it did. Another twist on the IPA (this time with Belgian love), Rayon Vert became the "heavy" beer of summer.
Stillwater Debutante
What can I say that hasn't already been said before about Stillwater's excellence. I could put any of their beers on this list every year. Still, this one made its debut in 2012 and I for one welcome it to the best lineup of Saisons this side of Belgium.
Firestone Walker Wookey Jack
The Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale continues to dig out a niche in craft beer and Firestone's entry is no different than the best of the style.
Deschutes Chasin' Freshies
Did I mention Deschutes' mastery of the hop. This fresh-hopped IPA and its fresh-hopped APA cousin (Hop Trip) do what fresh/wet-hopped beers are supposed to: capture the essence of Dionysus' underwear… or something like that.
Mikkeller Royal Rye Wine
Most of the Mikkeller releases I enjoyed this year were not all that new to me. However, the experience surrounding the Royal Rye Wine made this possibly the most memorable beer of the year. Read more about it here.
What did I forget? What would you add? Disagree or agree with any of these?
On Black Friday
So, Black Friday was the day I couldn't get a post out. Honestly, I was tired and a bit stuffed. It just wasn't meant to be. However, I did manage to post two placeholders and today I should be able to publish two posts. Beyond that, I think I can finish out this month. There are no promises for December, though. It might be back to three posts a week, but we'll see.
Anyway, here are my thoughts on the unofficial holiday of capitalism, Black Friday…
Can someone tell me why it's okay to camp outside a Walmart so that one can beat down their doors and mob the store, but it's not okay for Occupy Wall Street folks to do what they do? The crap that went on early yesterday morning makes me rather sick and ashamed to be an American. People make absolute fools of themselves for some cheap junk.
We tend to recognize our Black Friday with an old fashioned Buy Nothing Day. I left the house long enough to grab another holiday tradition from the local video shop, Team America: World Police. And that's how we do in this house.
However, in case you're wondering, Building International Coalitions Through Beer and Pavement does have an official stance on Black Friday. It's cool to shop on Black Friday, but if you do, it's best to go local. Your local brew pubs and record stores need you. Don't bother with Walmart or Target. Keep it local this entire holiday season, in fact.
For record stores, check the Record Store Day website. Once a single day in the spring, Record Store Day has become its own movement that can be celebrated year round. I just wish there was an actual record store here where I could celebrate. Maybe the next time I'm in St. Louis or back home in Columbus, I'll have to do some shopping.
Then, for the beer enthusiast, the Brewers Association is the place to go. I need to get down to our own brew pubs, Broadway and Flat Branch for some holiday cheer here in Middle Missouri. Check the site for the craft brewers where you live.
