How to make 200 – Three Cheese Roasted Garlic ABT's (Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños
I make thousands of ABT's each year. Yes thousands for demonstrations family parties and well I just love them.
There are countless recipes for ABT's all over the net. Everyone has their own variety whether they have lil smokies in them or leftover pulled pork. One of my favorite varieties is roasted garlic 3 cheese ABT's.
I make roasted smoked garlic in batches of 36-48 at a time. I prep lots of them at a time to make it more convenient for myself later on. BBQ buddies from ALCAN work great for this. Their perforations allow lots of the smoke flavor to come through. Simply slice the top off sprinkle on some salt & pepper and drizzle with EVOO. I then use one of my Traegers or Charcoal grills and keep the temp at an even 350F (I do these indirect) for about an hour. I prefer to use hickory pellets or wood chunks for flavoring. The garlic bulbs are done when the color turns a nice caramel and they can be easily squeezed out.
For more specific instructions check out this great tutorial on HOW to Roast Garlic.
Roasted Garlic bulbs freeze well. I freeze them individually for a multitude of uses from pasta to ABT's and everything in between.
200 Roasted Garlic Cheesy ABT's you will need:
- 2 onions finely minced
- 1/2 cup BBQ rub (use whichever is your favorite)
- 1 cup grated parmesan
- 1 cup grated romano
- 1/4 cup dried chives
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh savory
- 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) cream cheese
- 100 jalapeños cleaned & seeded cut in half lengthwise
- 4 large bulbs of roasted garlic
I use a food processor to do this in two batches. Its really easy. Just dump half of everything in and pulse away until everything has mixed well. Pour into a large ziploc bag and then repeat with the other half of the ingredients. Please note you should taste test each batch to ensure the spice mixture is flavorful enough. As with all BBQ rubs the sodium levels vary greatly as does the sodium level in Parmesan cheese so adjust wherever necessary.
Then set up a station in the order you make them. For the jalapeños I always lay them cut side down while I prep the other ingredients. This helps to get as much water out of them prior to assembly.
I buy cases of bacon- not packages. I buy Petit Goret Maple Smoked Bacon in a 5 kg (11lb) box. If I can't get this brand I look for any other food service box of bacon that has an 18/22 (slice count per pound) on it. I prefer using thinner bacon to wrap ABT's. For other applications I prefer my butchers bacon.
I do this whole procedure in batches of 50. I lay 50 jalapeños cut side up and fill with my cream cheese mixture using a ziploc bag with the corner cut off.
Then its just a matter of wrapping them and stacking them snugly into pans.
It takes me about an hour and a half to make 200. I freeze them for up to one month. I don't advise going over one month as I don't like the texture of the cream cheese after that. The less time in the freezer the better. If you are doing a party or heading to a competition pot luck etc its really nice to have these ready well ahead of when you need them.
Turkey Legs on the BGE
I have been to Disney World Florida more times than I can count when I was a kid and once with my eldest daughter Lexi and my parents. One of my fondest memories besides spending time with family was the Giant Turkey legs. If you ever go make sure to stop and get one. It will be enough to feed at least 2 people. You will feel like a carnivorous Neanderthal while chowing down on one. You won't care. They are that good. Every time I think of juicy delicious turkey legs my memories take me back to Disney World.
I did my best to recreate those turkey legs on the BGE. I used Clubhouse brand Montreal Chicken seasoning with a dash of poultry seasoning as well. I generously seasoned the legs and placed them on the BGE with some pecan wood chips and a drip pan underneath. I kept them low at about 225F and I went back a couple of times and basted them with the juices. They were not exactly as I remembered but they were juicy and delicious. It was really fun to tell my kids I was serving them dinosaur birds. Much more fun than telling them they were eating turkey.
The BGE performed nicely. As it was the first cook I got to experience how little charcoal it takes. Overall the BGE did terrific and I was really pleased with the ease of cooking on it.
Its here !!! The new Traeger 300 has arrived in Canada
Well today has been a very exciting BBQ day!! I got to see the new Traeger 300 in person right after it was unloaded. It is even more impressive in person. Really solid design. I am looking forward to playing on one in the upcoming weeks.
Here are some pictures of the unit
As soon as I get the spec sheet I will update this post!
Herb Crusted Prime Rib
No special day here or anything buts it's not often I get to have prime rib.
Was feeling a bit out of sorts earlier today on a personal level but I will say that spending a bit of time in the kitchen doing some prep lifted my spirits. There is something strangely & immensely satisfying about smashing the crap out of a whole bunch of herbs and garlic using a mortar and pestle. Today's crust was made with a lot of savory, thyme, 6 cloves of garlic, some beautiful New Zealand sea salt (thanks Angie!!) , black peppercorns and some canola oil. I pounded my little heart out (seriously I really need to bring the mortar and pestle out more often) and came up with a lovely herb mash.
The prime rib was lovely. I just love the look of raw meat. I love seeing the striations of marbling. Just beautiful.this prime rib weighed approx 6 lbs
On went the slather and into the fridge for a couple of ours.
My children were seriously not impressed at this point. At this point they were giving me the oh my goodness you can't possibly expect us to eat that for dinner tonight looks. Any parent can relate to that.
It was a lovely smelling prime rib and the color was coming along nicely. Off to the kitchen to prep some veggies to accompany our dinner. Had some portobellos with some Wisconsin Parmesan that I picked up on our last travels to the US. Its a nicely aged cheese. Lovely to eat on its own. Not sure I would use it again on the portobellos. Just didn't have enough oomph.
Then one of my all time favorite veggies – asparagus! Love love love asparagus grilled. So do the kids. Ok 2 out of 3 of the kids love it. The other (Chaos causing , tiny terrorist also known as my son Gabe) child has determined it looks too much like a plant. I grated the rind from a really large lemon and sprinkled it on the asparagus as well as a really fragrant lemon olive oil. Salt & pepper was added as well.
The Natives were getting restless at this point and it took everything in me to keep them all (including husband) occupied until the prime rib had rested for enough time.
Overall dinner was lovely. The prime rib was delicious. I love herb crusts on beef.
Throwing my Hat in the Ring : BBQ Pitmasters
Well I never made any secret of it. I made a DVD and am submitting it to BBQ pitmasters today. I have no clue if I fit the bill or if I will get to be on it but I at least can say I tried. Its better to have tried and failed then never to have tried at all. Who knows if they want a mom of 3 from the suburbs. I don't come from a BBQ background. I didn't grow up in the South. I didn't even try really great BBQ until a few short years ago. Plus theres that whole I am a Canadian Chick in the pits thing. Oh and seriously I don't look a model. I don't own a jambo. I use pellets and charcoal. I don't have a fancy schmancy rv. I sleep on a military cot in my bare bones yet functional cargo trailer. Hmmm. Oh well. At the end of the day no one knows if they have what they are looking for. This I do know for sure. I can talk well on TV. Cameras don't scare me, I am unlike anyone else out there and I know I make some really damn fine BBQ. I hope all my BBQ friends have submitted tapes. goodness knows there are a whole lot of really interesting personalities out there.
Over the last two weeks I have received tons of emails and talked to lots of BBQ folk about the new season. The responses are really varied. Some are very cynical and state they think JM already has his picks and he is doing this to keep people off his back. Others say this is just a ploy to get more attention. Personally I don't really care one way or another. I think its a good idea to ask for submissions. Makes sense to me.
Additionally some people have stated they hate the new format already. Um I am not sure I understand this since none of use really know what exactly the new format is. Right now its just a bunch of talk. A bunch of guesses.Seriously Ill reserve judgment for when I actually see the new format.
This is what was posted from John Markus Exec Producer BBQ Pitmasters:
It's official. Our new format features FOUR different pitmasters competing in EACH episode. We are looking to augment our cast from last season and welcome all interested cooks to throw their aprons in the ring.

There was even a mention of the new format here:
TLC To Revamp `BBQ Pit Masters' Series
Network To Knead Reality Show Into Competition Format
by R. Thomas Umstead — Multichannel News, 3/15/2010 12:11:53 PM
TLC is hoping to add some sizzle to its freshman cooking reality series BBQ Pit Masters by changing its programming recipe from a docu-reality show to a competition-based series for its second season.
The new season will feature a weekly competition between several chefs, with each weekly winner eventually squaring off against each other in the final episode, according to TLC officials. The show will feature BBQ Pit Masters stars such as Myron Mixon and Le Ann Whippen in "some capacity" on the show, said TLC officials.
BBQ Masters joins Cake Boss, Ultimate Cake Off and Cupcake Sisters as cooking-related shows on the Discovery Communications-owned network this year.
Overall I think no matter what its just more exposure for competition BBQ and really I think thats whats most important. Get it out there to more of the public. Let them know how much fun it is. How great the people are.
Its Tuesday!! That means tonight BBQ Central Show Chicken Round table

ive been looking for some new stuff again. you sold a few more copies with this thread mr. sullivan.
goodreads shelf from this link.
Thanks for the information Michael. It is so nice to see your books getting the attention that they deserve. Congratulations and thank you for hours of great reading.
Wait, wait, is Crown a prequel series or sequel?
I've read Thief of Swords which is, I think, the first two? short novels/novellas of the first series (they're interconnected). They're quite good, I feel. They are not "traditional" fantasy, as opposed to "non-traditional" fantasy because, as I've explained to Mike, the dark stuff has also been a long time regular fantasy "tradition" and Mike's line of "tradition" is still very current and common. (I still owe him a list.) And it's also dark. There's violence and black humor, and genocide and other fun stuff. People who like Abercrombie or Erikson are not going to find Sullivan's stuff strange at all. But if you are looking at antecedents, then yes, Fritz Lieber is obviously it, along with Zelazny, C.J. Cherryh, Peter David, Trudi Canavan, more recently Jon Sprunk, Chris Wooding, Felix Gilman, Scott Lynch, Douglas Hulick, Patrick Rothfuss, etc.
There used to be a saying: "Han Solo with a sword stories" (which is funny since Han Solo is based on Robin Hood and other rogues with swords.) Sullivan's series could definitely fit that. The dialogue is very good. The first scene, which was apparently added for the publisher edition, got me to buy. And what's nice is that he doesn't just stick everything into his two leads (who bicker lovingly like fishwives,) but that he has a lot of really good side characters and other majors. The second part of Thief has a whole village of characters and it might have been kind of cloying, but Mike avoids that for me and pulls off a combo that is poignant, darkly comic and sometimes scary intense. He knows how to work a scene and his military stuff is pretty good. And he comes up with really odd, interesting situations. I'm thinking particularly of a set of stairs (those who have read it will know what I'm talking about.) Quite often, you have thief characters who don't really show off any fancy thieving skills -- that's not an issue in this series.
Found out the release date of the second in this series, The Rose and the Thorn will be in Sep 2013. Originally I thought it would come out in January 2014 but Orbit is going to do it's "one a month" release thing.
Pre-order pages have gone up on Amazon for Riyria Chronicles Books:
The Crown Tower (coming August 1st) US paperback | US Kindle |UK paperback | UK kindle
The Rose and the Thorn (coming Sep 5th) US kindle | UK paperback | UK Kindle
Thanks Michael. I'm off to Amazon.
The Viscount and the Witch....I may one day do a compilation of shorts and print it. I would need a few more shorts first though. If you want a copy of a .pdf that you can print and read - send me an email at michael (dot) sullivan (dot) dc (at) gmail (dot) com.
Sigh - regional issues again for the Kindle version. Not available in Hong Kong (Asia Pacific) where I live.
Kind regards
1. It's just because it is a preorder
2. You're looking at the US version and not the UK version (which is who has the rights for the overseas markets).
Do me a favor....Can you tell me if either of these two links work for you?

"Music" is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna, from her eighth studio album of the same name. It was released as the lead single from the album on August 21, 2000, by Maverick Records. The song was also included on the compilation albums GHV2 and Celebration. Written and produced by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadzaï, the nexus of "Music" is about people having fun at a party, and Madonna claims that music makes the people come together. Musically, "Music" is a pop and electropop song. "Music" provides a cross-section of Madonna's artistic range, as she sings in several genres, some natural and some electronically manipulated that refuse confinement. "Music" received positive reviews from international critics, who praised the production, catchiness and club-friendly nature of the song, also comparing it with other Madonna's older songs. "Music" peaked number one in 22 other countries, including Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. "Music" also has the longest running number-one spot at Billboard Hot Dance Club Play of the decade, with spent a longevity five weeks at number one.

The New Hacker's Dictionary
A common extracurricular interest of hackers (compare science-fiction fandom, oriental food; see also filk). Hackish folklore has long claimed that musical and programming abilities are closely related, and there has been at least one large-scale statistical study that supports this. Hackers, as a rule, like music and often develop musical appreciation in unusual and interesting directions. Folk music is very big in hacker circles; so is electronic music, and the sort of elaborate instrumental jazz/rock that used to be called 'progressive' and isn't recorded much any more. The hacker's musical range tends to be wide; many can listen with equal appreciation to (say) Talking Heads, Yes, Gentle Giant, Pat Metheny, Scott Joplin, Tangerine Dream, Dream Theater, King Sunny Ade, The Pretenders, Screaming Trees, or the Brandenburg Concerti. It is also apparently true that hackerdom includes a much higher concentration of talented amateur musicians than one would expect from a similar-sized control group of mundane types.

How to Layer Without the Bulk
Posted on November 8, 2012 by Sarah Ward
Fall fashion is all about layering, but unless you're careful, you can start looking like the Michelin Man. Here are three quick tips on how to layer your clothes without the bulk.
- Layer lighter pieces. A lot of the bulk in layering can come from thick layers like cable knit sweaters or lined pea coats. Look for thinner sweaters, cardigans, and jackets to layer instead so you can keep the warmth without the bulk.
- Cinch that waist. Find a way to create a clear waist indentation and it will create the illusion that you have a more hourglass silhouette. This anorak jacket has a drawstring waist which helps to accentuate a nice waist. You can also belt over or underneath your layering piece.
- Ditch the jeans. Jeans can add extra unflattering bulk underneath your longer layers. Instead, opt for a pair of streamlined leggings, pants, or trousers without the bulky stitching and pockets. If you're wearing leggings, just make your derriere is covered!
Anorak jacket: $69.99 | Striped sweater: $69.99 | Mixed metal necklace: $29.99

Retail Therapy: Shoulder-Grazing Earrings
Posted on August 22, 2012 by Sarah Ward
Yesterday I had a couple hours to kill in Downtown Seattle. Naturally, I indulged in some retail therapy when I wandered into one of my favorite little boutiques and walked out with these fabulous shoulder-grazing earrings from a local designer.
Cannot. Get. Enough. Nor can I wait to debut them!
What have you gotten from your latest retail therapy session?

- 1Apr 6, '10 by charlquinThank you so much for this thread. I'm a new nurse and my career has begun in a LTC. I've only been there for a month now but even so I have felt so overwhelmed with some of my residents, families, and even co-workers. There is those that I would love to tell excatly what I am thinking but bite my tongue, smile and go on.
- 1Apr 6, '10 by +oneWell written
- 1Apr 6, '10 by lisamc1RNOMG! As I was reading this, I was trying to figure out which nurse you are at my former employment! LOL! This sounds exactly like what happens there! Thank you for putting into words! Well done!
- 1May 25, '11 by No Stars In My EyesI very politely told the "singing" group that went around to nursing homes and prisons (captive audience!) how lovely it was that they would take time out of their busy lives to travel and sing hymns and gospel songs to shut-ins.......and I was gifted with TWO audio-cassettes of their groups efforts. The taping was nearly as bad as the singing. I tried to get out of the gift with the "thank-you-but-we're-not-allowed-to-accept-gifts " speech, but was informed that "God put it on her heart" to share them with me. Now, every so often SOMETHING puts it on my heart to share the music with a few well-chosen others, who howl in agony until I remove the tape from the cassette player!

Are we (finally) seeing the end of US Imperialism?
Posted by Glenden Brown in American History, American People, Barack Obama, Drone Strikes, Military, Military Industrial Complex, Syria, This Blog on August 25, 2014
The Obama administration's foreign policy approach (Don't do stupid stuff) has been unbelievably better than the Bush administration's approach (do as much stupid stuff as possible).

What's the worst that can happen?
Posted by Nathan Erkkila in American History, Bush Administration, Condolezza Rice, Conservative, Conservatives, Crimes, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Iraq, ISIS, Karl Rove, Neocons, Rumsfeld on July 6, 2014
This is a question that must have been asked 12 years ago when the US invaded Iraq. Well the initial predictions were positive. The war will be quick, cheap, we will be hailed as liberators, there will be peace, so on and so forth. Of course none of that happened. They were dead wrong, but even me when I witnessed the reports of chaos in Iraq, I could not comprehend that this would happen. What is the worst that can happen? ISIS can happen. The relatively new Islamic terrorist group is different from other organizations because they are successful. They have the oil fields, they are surrounding Baghdad, they have both Iraqi and American weapons in their inventory and they are gaining more ground. This is made worse by their tendency to be very destructive. So far, over 1,700 Iraqi troops have been executed. So yes, that is the worst that can happen and the Bush administration is completely at fault no matter how indirectly this is. Maybe this is a question Obama should consider, especially with an upcoming midterm and a country filled with pissed off liberals.
Everybody Should See This Film
Posted by Larry Bergan in American History, Capitalism, Corruption, Laugh, Michael Moore, Poverty on July 6, 2014
According to the description on this YouTube post, Michael Moore didn't make any money off this film, even though it's another masterpiece by the worlds best documentary artist who has a knack for making people laugh at tragedies which must be fixed.
I hope I'm not helping to deprive Mr. Moore of any earnings, but he is known for not trying to squeeze every last penny from his works, and just wants to help America break free from the capitalist's embarrassing stranglehold on the citizens who worked really hard to get them where they are.
You should buy the film on Blue-ray to get the extras, which add greatly to the film and offer solutions by American businesses and leaders who want to do things to bring capitalism back into a workable sphere.
Mrs. Heimann's Mother (reprint)
Posted by Glenden Brown in American History, Corruption, Military Industrial Complex, War on June 29, 2014
This post is a reprint from December 2007.
It feels relevant today.
Some 20 years ago, I was taking an evening German course from a woman named Phila Heimann. Mrs. Heimann recounted her experiences in the US. For instance, as recent immigrants, during World War Two, her school-aged children faced discrimination from their American born peers. When asked "Are you Germans?" her kids responded proudly, "No, we are Austrians and we speak Austrian, not German!"
Mrs. Heimann introduced me to a powerful book – a photojournalists book of photos of buildings in an around Vienna. There were two photos of each site – a pre-war and post-war photo, the post war photo showing the ruins. The book was called The Pearl of Vienna in Hitler's Setting (I think the German was Die Perle Wien Im Hitlers Fassung).
Anyway, I'm thinking about Mrs. Heimann's mother today.
When she was 5, little Phila went with her mother to watch the troops march off to fight what we know today as World War One. Surrounded by cheering crowds, her mother was weeping. Phila asked, "Why are you crying? Everyone else is happy?" And her mother replied,
"All these men are going to die. They won't be coming home."
War is never good, never a grand and glorious thing. It is always and forever a tragedy. No matter what our leaders say or believe or want us to believe, war is always and forever a failure.
June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in the streets of Sarajevo by a man named Gavrilo Princip. The Archduke's assassination sparked World War One. That was one hundred years ago.
I wonder if we learned anything in the intervening, bloody century.
The Problems in Iraq are Just More of Bush's Toxic Legacy
Posted by Glenden Brown in 9/11, Abu Ghraib, American History, American People, Bush Administration, Bush Failures, Crimes, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Guantanamo, Karl Rove, Neocons, Proof Bush Lied, Rumsfeld, War Crimes, Wiretapping on June 17, 2014
Ed Kilgore has a good rant on Bush's Toxic Legacy:
The mess in Iraq right now, along with the remarkably limited options for any constructive U.S. action to avoid humanitarian and political disaster, and the hostility of American public opinion to doing anything at all, provide fresh reminders that Barack Obama will leave office as he entered it: dealing with the unfinished business and toxic legacy of the George W. Bush administration. From Iraq, to Gitmo, to the NSA, to the housing sector, to the banking sector, to a completely fouled up non-system of campaign finance, to an out-of-control fossil fuel industry, to a long-range structural budget deficit, to a politicized judiciary, and to a radicalized Republican Party: the trouble never ends, and all created by a swaggering crew that inherited peace and prosperity and a budget surplus after the most dubious ascension to power in American history.
It's worth pondering isn't it?
Why I'm Not Going to Visit the 9/11 Museum
Posted by Richard Warnick in 9/11, American History, National Politics, Terrorism on May 19, 2014
I'm big on history, and that means we remember both the good and the bad stuff that happens in the world. OTOH I have never been to the Holocaust Museum, and probably won't ever go. The 9/11 Museum that opens this week in New York has already been added to my list of places to avoid. It's not just the $24 admission fee. Why did they think it was a good idea to plop a gift shop and a cafe literally on top of a repository that contains 8,000 unidentified body parts from victims of the terrorist attacks? A monument would have been enough. A museum (which includes President George W. Bush's bullhorn*) is pushing it. A store that sells 9/11 coffee mugs and t-shirts is too much.
On Think Progress, Jessica Goldstein makes the case for the gift shop, which in her mind amounts to: "every other museum has one."
[* I hope the museum also prominently displays the secret memo Bush didn't bother to read– the one that warned, "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US."]

Federal Judge Strikes Down Amendment 3
Posted by Glenden Brown in American History, Conservative, GLBT issues, Human Rights, Queer, This Blog on December 20, 2013
I'm stunned.
A federal judge in Utah Friday struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, saying the law violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantees of equal protection and due process.
"The state's current laws deny its gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry and, in so doing, demean the dignity of these same-sex couples for no rational reason," wrote U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Shelby. "Accordingly, the court finds that these laws are unconstitutional."
And amazed:
"Applying the law as it is required to do, the court holds that Utah's prohibition on same- sex marriage conflicts with the United States Constitution's guarantees of equal protection and due process under the law," the judge wrote. "The State's current laws deny its gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry and, in so doing, demean the dignity of these same-sex couples for no rational reason. Accordingly, the court finds that these laws are unconstitutional." Read more at http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=28099570#JEOfBdYmOobFv7r6.99
Apparently the judge didn't stay the order which means . . . .
"A federal district court judge in Utah just issued a decision striking down Utah's marriage ban on the grounds that it violates the fundamental right to marry and lacks even a rational basis. This is the first decision since Perry–and the first after Windsor–striking down a marriage ban under the federal constitution. The judge did not stay his decision, so same-sex couples in Utah are applying for marriage licenses now."
I don't think anybody saw this one coming.
November 22, 1963
Posted by Richard Warnick in American History, National Politics on November 22, 2013
If you can remember that day, then you look at history and politics just a little bit differently. Despite the Cold War and clashes over civil rights, Americans were much more optimistic in 1963.

NORTH CAROLINA, April 12, 2013 – As if there weren't already enough reasons to love the middle of April's spring and oncoming summer weather in North Carolina, the state is ocusing a great deal on spreading the word about North Carolina beer to local residents and beyond.
An effort by the North Carolina Division of Tourism and the NC Brewer's Guild, North Carolina Beer Month isn't so much a centralized event as it is a meta-exhibition of the craft beer industry in the state that I've been happy to call my home since early 2012. With events that stretch from all over the state, Beer Month provides residents and visitors the chance to see why North Carolina is quickly gaining the reputation as the beer Mecca of the East.
SEE RELATED: Brewery Profile: Deep River Brewing Company - Clayton, NC
It's not actually possible to cover all of the events that have been happening and are going to happen throughout the month. However, looking through the massive list, I've decided to point out some of the events that are particularly worth the trip. It's easy to say that every event is worth taking a look at, but as reluctant I might be, I must be realistic.
Raleigh World Beer Festival – April 13
Yes, I'll be sticking with Raleigh events for this coverage. However, the World Beer Festival, which is only in two days as of this writing, claims a better part of the downtown area for one day. Last year's festival saw more than 100 breweries from all over the country (and international) participating in the event. Goers this year can expect the same situation for around $45-50 per ticket. There are two sessions that happen – 12 noon - 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. – but last I checked, the 6 p.m. session was already sold out.
If you do get a ticket, I would advise that you expect quite the process of getting a parking spot and getting around; the festival is known for getting quite dense.
SEE RELATED: Beer gets a fresh kick with Stone Brewing Co.'s "Enjoy By IPA" Series
A Taste of Holly Springs – April 19
Holly Springs lies in Wake County along with Raleigh, but sits in the far Southwest outside of the city. For the past few years, the town has hosted A Taste of Holly Springs, which provides visitors samples of local eateries and drink. Carolina Brewing Company calls Holly Springs their home, and is currently the only operating brewery in the town. However, three more are expected to open in the coming months, including Nano Brewing and Bombshell Brewing.
Bombshell and Nano will be pouring some of their beer for the event, which runs from 4 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Raleigh Brewery Tour – April 20
As if most beer geeks in Raleigh already feel positively overwhelmed by the vastness of breweries in the area alone, there's a tour to put it all in perspective. The Raleigh Brewery Tour may be happening once this month, but the event is actually expected to occur once per month until October.
Participants will go on a four hour excursion through Greater Raleigh and experience a handful of breweries that operate in the city, including Natty Greene's, Roth Brewing Company and Lonerider. This is just a taste of was Raleigh offers, but the exposure to what Central NC beer is all about will be quite satisfactory.
Brewgaloo 2013 – April 27
While the World Beer Festival covers breweries from all over, Brewgaloo aims to keep the focus strictly on North Carolina beer. The six hour event in Raleigh will be held in the City Plaza, and will offer tastings of breweries from all over the country.
Some of the breweries to look out for here include Deep River Brewing, Foothills, Big Boss, Aviator, Mash House, Starpoint, Mystery Brewing and more.
I'll hopefully be covering some of the events listed on here (and some others that haven't) for Communities Digital News, as well as a new site I started up called Craft Beer Chat. To learn more about NC Beer Month, visit the official site here.

GoPro drone lets you mount an aerial assault like a real spy
The era of affordable personal drones you can use for shooting high-quality video has arrived. Lehmann Aviation has launched a fully autonomous drone that is designed to carry your GoPro camera into the skies and safely return it with stunning footage.
Designed to look very much like a miniature stealth bomber, Lehmann's LA100 is essentially a flying platform for your GoPro camera. Made of foam and carbon fiber, the set-up allows you to mount your GoPro on the top or bottom of the drone, depending on the kind of video you're looking to capture. The LA100 can reach altitudes of about 300 feet, and travels on its own pre-programmed flight path, no piloting necessary. After about five minutes, it returns to its home base and makes an autonomous (and hopefully safe) landing.
The LA100 can be yours for about $1,340 (GoPro not included), and you can see it in action in the video below.

Blythe police are looking for a man who they say was involved in a group attack on another man in the area.
A man and woman have already been arrested in the incident.
Authorities have arrested Austin Armenta, 19, and Elizabeth Orozco, 24,.
Officers say Orozco had conspired with Armenta and the suspect on the run Jesus Rivas, 24, to get the victim to Appleby Park.
That's when they say Armenta attacked the victim by hitting him continuously with a baseball bat.
Rivas then tried to rob the victim, but was unsuccessful. All three fled the scene.
Police later tracked Orozco and Armenta down and they've been booked into the Blythe jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy.
Anyone with information on Rivas and his whereabouts are asked to call Blythe police at (760) 922-6111 or (760) 921-CARE to remain anonymous.

I saw some of the kid stuff (Medabots, Pokemon, some Digimon) but then I started watching Naruto and I liked it. Then one day the summer before my junior year in high school, my cousin showed me Hellsing Ultimate and Girls Bravo. Hellsing is great. And Girls Bravo had me on the floor with the first few jokes. Ever since then, I've seen many (but not a super duper whole lot of) anime.

Yes I have. However I also disagree. Dubs have a lot of effort put into them (Well, most do) and I prefer dubs. Sub versions are good but shows like Hellsing Ultimate, Code Geass, Digimon Tamers Fontier an Data Squad, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Trigun have great dubs.

If they stop putting [out] records, and they don't put nothing on the radio and they say, 'f*ck rap,' and drop me… I'll still be rhyming."
– Nas, quoted in Columbia's Illmatic press release (1994)
From the label just named one of the "10 Best Record Labels of 2012" by FACT Magazine and the crew who brought the world Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx "Purple Tape Cassette Box," it's time for another hip-hop celebration.
This time they have set their sights on arguably the most defining hip-hop album of the '90s: Nas' 1994 debut, Illmatic. With the deluxe, premium packaging that Boston-based Get on Down is known for, including an extended-length cherry-wood box, a 48-page hard-cover book and reproductions of unique promotional items from the original 1994 marketing campaign, this is another set you don't want to sleep on.
Nas Illmatic Deluxe "Gold Edition" CD set features:
· "24k Audiophile Gold Disc" CD with re-mastered audio and actual 24-karat gold embedded in the CD, housed in a "Cherrywood Trophy Box" with gold plaque [limited to 2,000 CD sets]
· 48-page full-color, hard-cover book including liner notes from The Source founder Jon Schecter, extended artwork and full album lyrics
· Black 2-piece outer box with 1994 "Nas" red-on-white logo sticker [www.GetOnDown.com orders only]
· Reproduction of 1994 Illmatic press release, with two 8 x 10 glossy promo photos from Illmatic PR campaign [www.GetOnDown.com orders only]
· Rare 1994 promotional poster with full album lyrics printed on back [www.GetOnDown.com orders only]
In 1994, hip-hop was going through an at-times painful growth spurt. Since N.W.A.'s and Ice-T's ascent in the late '80s, the rap game was no longer owned by the East Coast. After the worldwide popularity of Dr. Dre's The Chronic in 1992, things were looking even worse for hip-hop's hometown. The East Coast / West Coast feud that would later indirectly claim the lives of Biggie and Pac was still in its infancy, but New York needed a shot in the arm.
Black Moon hit in the fall of 1993 with Enta Da Stage and Wu-Tang Clan closed out that year with their game-changing debut Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), so the stage was set. In all honesty, the hype behind young Queensbridge native Nasir "Nas" Jones had been in full swing since before those two landmark albums, thanks to Columbia Records' promo machine.
From his earliest appearance on Main Source's "Live at the BBQ," to his own accomplished debut "Half Time" (as Nasty Nas, on the Zebrahead soundtrack in late 1992), it was clear that this kid was something special. In fact, the pressure on him must have been overwhelming at times. April 19, 1994 couldn't have come soon enough.
And as soon as the first lines of "N.Y. State of Mind" kick in, bolstered by perhaps DJ Premier's darkest beat of all time, the entire East Coast breathed a collective sigh of relief. God's Son had arrived. Backed by an absolute all-star cast of New York's top-shelf producers – Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Q-Tip and a youngster named L.E.S. – the album never lets up. Serious to a fault, and lyrically dense to an extent that has possibly never been matched, the 20-year old Nas stood on the shoulders of his predecessors and proudly proclaimed, "Don't fuck with the East… we are BACK."
The story from there is the stuff of legend, a legend that continues to this day, almost two decades and multiple platinum platters later. Illmatic itself boasted a hefty number of number of singles, five, especially considering that the original program ran nine full vocal tracks (excepting the dark intro, "The Genesis"). That's how densely packed it was.
The album was actually a slow-burn, which might surprise fans that have come to its genius more recently. Despite an unheard-of "5 Mics" in The Source – despite an unwritten rule of never awarding classic status to debuts – it didn't go gold until early 1996, and didn't hit platinum status until late 2001. But when you dive deeper that shouldn't be a shock: like Black Moon and Wu-Tang, it was a dark, hard record, made for heads in New York, not teeny-boppers in Des Moines. There were no dance beats, no crossover love songs. Just boom-bap and rhymes, skills and heart.
From "Life's A Bitch" (with the album's only true guest MC, AZ, along with a trumpet solo by Nas' jazzman father, Olu Dara) to "It Ain't Hard To Tell," the album strings you along, brings you through ups and downs, and into the dark corners of NYC. The same corners brought to the world in Melle Mel's "The Message," and fleshed out in the late '80s by Nas' lyrical idols Rakim and Kool G Rap.
"My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology.
Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop.
I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block."
- Nas, "Memory Lane (Sittin' In Da Park)"
Enjoyed by countless hip-hop heads to this day and considered by many to be a "Top 10 Greatest" in the canon of hip-hop full-lengths, Get on Down's Illmatic "Gold Disc" set is a perfect way to revisit the record that helped bring the East Coast rap back to its homeland. With the deluxe features and unique "trophy shelf" packaging, it will sit among your other coveted possessions for decades to come.
Get On Down is an acclaimed Boston-based record label and premium online boutique (www.GetOnDown.com), offering an eclectic array of products, from deluxe music reissues on vinyl and CD to apparel and pop culture artifacts. Established in 2010, Get On Down's record label boasts over 75 titles in its ever-expanding catalog.
The GetOnDown.com online boutique was launched in 2012 and operates with a strong "anti-big-box store" aesthetic, dedicated to carefully curating a premium product mix for independent-minded customers who span the globe. GetOnDown.com features items from the Get On Down label along with unique non-label offerings, including apparel, DVDs, pop culture artifacts and more.
Is that seriously all it comes with regarding music? Just a remastered edition? No tracks? No instrumentals? or am I missing something?
Ummm….so there is no 2nd disc with the illmatic-era remixes (not the garbage new remixes on the 10 year anniversary…I'm talking about the Q-tip remixes, Extra P remixes, etc), no instrumentals ? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the 48 page book is fun to have, but this is all style, no substance.

With more than 400 kinds of animals and multiple life zones for plant life, Yosemite National Park is a top spot for wildlife watching. In fact, it's everywhere you look. The park's protected status, combined with a variety of natural environments that stretch from the Sierra Nevada's wooded foothills to the treeless alpine tundra, provides unmatched habitat for wildlife.
While we can't guarantee that you'll see every species you're hoping to get a glimpse of, you're sure to find plenty of spectacular flora and fauna to photograph during your trip. The following are some of the most popular animals to look out for in the Yosemite region. But all of these are just the beginning of the amazing wildlife you can encounter during your Yosemite vacation. Other superstar species to watch out for include bighorn sheep, yellow-bellied marmots, red foxes, and the Western fence lizard with its iridescent blue-colored belly.
Black Bears
Black bears are the biggest wildlife attraction in Yosemite National Park. Unlike their grizzly cousins, black bears are naturally fearful of humans, unless they have become habituated by the careless actions of park visitors, such as leaving food unprotected. Wild black bears are omnivores who mostly forage on acorns, berries, and grasses. Despite their name, their fur is can be inky black, chocolate brown, cinnamon-colored, or even golden blond. A full-grown adult male black bear averages 350 pounds and can run up to 30 mph, so always keep your distance when observing bears in the park. You'll most often see black bears in meadows and along hiking trails in the forest. Do your part to keep black bears wild by always carefully storing your food, trash, and any other scented items in the free bearproof lockers found throughout the park.
Mule Deer
Mule deer are the animal most commonly seen in Yosemite National Park. You can recognize them by their ears, which resemble those of a mule, and their typically white tails with black tips. Mule deer graze in grassy meadows and throughout the forests. They run with an unusual gait: all four feet hit the ground at once. These deer migrate seasonally between the Sierra Nevada high country and the foothills, so be careful when driving around the park not to hit one by the side of the highway. Slow driving can save the lives not only of mule deer, but also black bears.
Birding enthusiasts will find over 250 species in Yosemite National Park, thanks to its wide range of climates and elevations. Peregrine falcons can be seen swooping and diving in the Yosemite Valley, where they nest in granite cliffs. After dark, hoards of bats emerge from rocky caves and hollowed-out trees (called snags) to hunt. The orange-and-yellow Western tanager is a cheery, bright spot of color in pine forests. The hoots of blue grouse and great gray owls can be heard in upland forests, if you listen carefully. For a complete introduction to Sierra Nevada bird life, take a naturalist-guided walk and ask for a free birding checklist at park visitor centers.

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Prosecutors called her a con artist who stole the last of a Florida Lottery winner's millions, then killed him.
Defense attorneys said Dorice Donegan "Dee Dee" Moore saw Abraham Shakespeare killed at the hands of drug dealers and concealed his death because she feared retribution against her family.
After three hours of deliberation, a 12-person jury weighed the evidence and chose to believe prosecutors.
Moore has been found guilty of first degree murder in the death of Shakespeare, who won a $30 million jackpot in 2006. She was quickly sentenced after the verdict to life in prison without parole.

The mayor's comments came during Tuesday night's monthly session of the Charleston City Commission.
"We will get in contact with them to get specifics on why our [grant request] points were not high enough and what we need to do to receive the grant," Goode said. "This water tower is instrumental for Charleston."
Water from the tower is used to supply the city's senior residents. According to Goode, the current tower is insufficient. Water is not being held in the facilities as it should.
The city has been working on plans for two years to build a new tower. Goode said the old Charleston water tower has been there as long as he can remember.
"We were looking at building a new tower with a $500,000 plan. We will be working with the utility district," Goode said. "Utilities will come up with an additional $250,000 to help finance the materials and construction."
The Community Development grant will be reapplied for as soon as possible. Tabs will be kept on when a new plan can be submitted.
A matching grant offered through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has been awarded to Charleston for a total of $75,000. Janet Newport, city court clerk, revealed the grant's recently discovered guidelines.
"Contracts will be sent out at the end of January or the beginning of February. We will have two weeks to review before signing and sending the contracts back," Newport said. "A completed contract will be sent to us and we will send a confirmation email back."
Thirty days will be allotted to the city to spend a portion of the grant money, following email confirmation. One of the first purchases will be a sign telling where the money is coming from. The city will receive a $50 reimbursement on the sign, which will cost $100.
"Any money spent before the scheduled time will not be reimbursed," Newport said.
An additional 90 days will be given for further purchases. Grant money will be used toward cleaning and clearing up the current park, new equipment, workers, tests, and other tasks. Workers and plans will be lined up in preparation of the 30-day and 90-day periods.
Matching funds can be raised in a variety of ways, including work completed by city employees on the park and donations.
- In additional news, Charleston residents are asked to refrain from pushing their leaves into ditches.
"People rake their leaves to the ditches and burn their leaves in the ditches," Goode said. "When the rain comes, it just washes all of that stuff down the drain to clog it up."
Goode said research needs to be done on the equipment needed to take care of lawn waste in the city.
"We are small, but we have the same needs as Cleveland," Goode said. "We ourselves have got to go out and buy the equipment."
This is in response to residents complaining drains are clogged and overflowing throughout Charleston. City workers are set to look into the matter and pinpoint the drains in question.
Bradley County Fire-Rescue representatives reported 15 new recruits will be a part of a BCFR graduation ceremony at Lee University. An additional 17 have passed the written test and will soon be taking the agility test. The Commission was welcomed to attend the graduation.
Pre-build check-off has been completed on three tankers. An additional check-off will be conducted on three engines today. According to BCFR reports, contractors are being held to their April 1 deadline for the first new station. Subsequent stations will be built each week following the first. A total of three new stations will join the existing ones currently comprising BCFR.
The Charleston-Calhoun-Hiwassee Historical Society will hold its regular meeting on Sunday at 3 p.m., at Charleston United Methodist Church.

SUBJECT: Seventy to attend Grandparents University at UW-Eau Claire
Area grandparents and their grandchildren will participate in a unique intergenerational learning experience from 8:45 a.m.-4 p.m. June 20 during the first Grandparents University at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. All available spots for the daylong event have been filled.
During the event, grandparents and grandchildren together will attend classes taught by UW-Eau Claire faculty on such topics as "Backyard Star Gazers," "Think Small: Nanoscience," "Shakespeare Alive!" and "Ancient Origins of the Alphabet."

Trial delayed for man charged in hit-and-run that killed boy
Updated On: Nov 26 2012 08:45:00 AM CST
An elderly man charged in connection with a hit-and-run that killed a 10-year-old boy won't stand trial until next year.
The trial for Raymond Watts, 83, was set to begin Monday. Watts is accused of running over Richland Upper Elemenatry fifth-grader Allen Lutrick on Nov. 1, 2011, as the boy tried to board a school bus.
Lutrick died on Nov. 2, hours after Watts turned himself in to police. Watts is charged with manslaughter and leaving the scene of the crash.
Watts has been out of jail on bail since his arrest. Under the terms of his bond, Watts was ordered to give up his driver's license and is restricted from traveling outside of Hinds and Rankin counties.

Product Life Cycle Management and the General Recipe a Case Study
To adapt to today's shifting market and customer requirements, an enterprise must be increasingly agile to redefine its products. Organizational barriers introduce delays and inconsistencies in the transfer of this information. At the same time, a global enterprise needs to ensure that products are manufactured consistently, wherever they are developed or made in the supply chain . This paper presents a case study of the development and implementation of an electronic Product Lifecycle Management application to successfully address these challenges, for a premium brand food manufacturer. The business requirements are defined and mapped against the capabilities of commercial software products. To ensure that the application can evolve, as business needs change, the use of existing and emerging standards, recommendations and technologies is evaluated. The organization and project approach to involve all disciplines, redefine the product development processes and successfully introduce this new technology is described. In the conclusion a brief overview is given of the scope and uses of the application, the expected benefits are illustrated and recommendations are made to improve batch standards.
