Comments Thread For: Photos: Miguel Cotto Looks Fierce in KO of Rodriguez
ORLANDO, Florida Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto stopped Delvin Rodriguez in the third round on Saturday in his comeback fight after dropping his last two bouts last year.
Cotto, a former three-division champion, improved to 38-4 with his 31st knockout in the junior middleweight bout, getting out to a quick start in his first fight since losing unanimous decisions to Austin Trout and Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year.
"It feels good to win and be able to do it in front of a wonderful crowd," Cotto said. "I thought I hit him with some good shots early and I was able to get the stop."
Cotto attacked Rodriguez from the sound of the bell, going after him with left hooks to the body. Near the end of the second round, Cotto landed a strong combination, finishing with a left hook to the head that staggered Rodriguez. [Click Here To Read More]

I'm a Cotto fan but let's not jump on the Cotto bandwagon just yet. I mean he was coming off of two losses and last night he fought "whatever his name is."
I would love to see Cotto get another good money fight perhaps with Canelo. But the only problem is that Canelo is no punching bag. I think Canelo would still thump my Boricua com-padre.

Cotto was too big for this fight. Too "fierce"...
Delvin was a "great opponent" -- too great...

At first I said Nooooo!!! Horrible stoppage. And after I rewatched the fight like 5 times I changed my mind. Rodriguez was still fresh yes , it was only the third round. But the way the fight was going already you felt like it was going to stop by k.o. soon. And when you look at the shot that hurt Delvin and the he he looked out of it on his feet I think was reason enough to stop.
It was only 18 seconds into the round and he had eaten two monster shots and the ropes were basically keeping him up.
Cottl is only 33. I get so upset when I see guys like B-hop and Marquez , even Erik Morales etc etc .. who haven't retired yet. And Cotto is only 33, and he still has plenty left. I'm not going to hype the win. I don't think anybody is really hyping the win. It's just the way he looked. He looked young , fast , agile , he looked like he had received a new body. That's what I'm most excited about. I wasn't giving him a chance against Canelo with that defensive passive style he was bringing lately , but if he is coming like a lion to kill and the way he looked so energetic I do give him a chance against anybody and a really good chance.

1970s Polaroid SX-70 Cameras Make a Comeback 106
from the for-all-your-expensive-art-projects dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Fuji still makes some instant cameras, the Instax and Instax Mini line. The blood-sucking leeches, errrrr, the company that currently owns the Polaroid name rebadges one of the Instax Minis as the Polaroid 300 and sells it at a premium.
The Instax films are not compatible with older Polaroid cameras that use integral films, but Fuji also makes some films that fit the even older Polaroid pack film type cameras (pull the film out, wait 60 seconds, peel, wonder what to do with goopy negative portion).
The films from The Impossible Project work, but at this point still need to be considered "experimental". The biggest problem they have yet to conquer is the chemical layer that shields the photo from light immediately after ejection from the camera - aka the opacifier layer.
All the current films require that you immediately protect the film from ambient light while it develops, which definitely kills some of the joy of the original SX70 experience.
Still major amounts of mad props to TIP for saving the film manufacturing equipment from being scrapped and being able to create a whole new film that works even as well as it does, on a shoestring budget in a short amount of time.
Aren't you glad you're not getting all the government you pay for now?

America is drowning in its own oil. So much drilling has happened in recent years that we are now running out of places to store oil in this country. And to think that a decade ago, the public's biggest fear was "peak oil" and other panicky "we're-gonna-run-out-soon" theories!

Crude has been in the headlines almost daily, but for all the wrong reasons. A bit of history: After hitting $107.73 in late June, oil has dropped an alarming 40%. (Well, alarming to some. If you own a car and live in the U.S., you've seen an almost corresponding drop at the pump.)

Financial media use news and economic events to explain market moves. Steer clear of this misguided approach. Take part in the Elliott Wave Crash Course to learn what really moves the markets.
The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International's market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.

I tried that once.... It hurt to do, especially when one of my friends who plays DPS swung by to help do the quest later.
(paraphrasing) "I don't actually want to do the quest myself, I just want to heal people while they kill stuff."
I tried this, and the big problem here is that unless your questing partner is playing a fairly squishy class, you tend to feel like dead weight, since it's relatively easy for most classes to carry their own weight in dailies, and these dailies don't lend themselves to mass overpulling very much either.
Sort of the same feeling I get while queueing for Scenarios as a healer for that matter.
50 Human Priest
I would support tabards only because I hate questing to begin with. The monotony of daily quests has already peeked its ugly head out and said, "Hi!" I want tabards.
90 Undead Warlock
The solution is in the thread. If you want to heal, grab somebody else doing the dailies, and heal them. I'm sure would welcome the help, and you're not taking their XP, because, you know, you're level 90.
Simple solution is simple.
Am I saying I want to do the dailies? Am I saying that I wouldn't rather be in a dungeon doing imy rep grind that way? No.
But you want to heal, you can heal... now start healing, damn you.
The solution is in the thread. If you want to heal, grab somebody else doing the dailies, and heal them. I'm sure would welcome the help, and you're not taking their XP, because, you know, you're level 90.
Yeah, but then I only said that with sort of tongue-in-cheek.
Healers aren't really useful when questing. There's no damage. So if you want to feel at all useful you have to start spamming your pathetic damage spells anyway.
91 Night Elf Druid
Getting to honored isn't really a big deal, and in the past, you got a reputation tabard at that point.As a healer, there hasn't been anything I've been forced to do dailies for since BC, can't say I'm particularly thrilled. Someone who plays as DPS but has a healer offspec will have more access to healer gear than I will as a pure healer. That just doesn't seem right
For sure, its definitely different this expac, and I'm not especially thrilled with the change either, but I am just getting on with my day. I can probably con a guildie into helping if I really need it but I'm rather independent and enjoy know that I've accomplished something.
And at least with these you start gettign rep for the right faction from the get go. I hated Therazane. I only ever did that on my main and figured it wasn't worth the headache for alts to have a shoulder enchant.
The solution is in the thread. If you want to heal, grab somebody else doing the dailies, and heal them. I'm sure would welcome the help, and you're not taking their XP, because, you know, you're level 90.
I run into the problem that when I get home from work my guildies have have already done their dailies and they want to do dungeons. And I'd rather do dungeons so a lot of time my dailies aren't getting done. Which wouldn't be a problem if that wasn't the only way to get reputation.
I remember fondly the days when I had a boyfriend who played WoW with me, and so all my dailies starting with IQD and onward until we broke up in the early Cata era were done with a trusty DPS minion to kill all things for me. :P
I have a different boyfriend now who plays L4D2 while I play WoW and has no real interest in trying mmos with me. QQ. Hence, kitty offspec for leveling and for dailies.
I miss rep tabards too, I am hoping the dailies won't be too bad this time. I've already sort of decided that my alt going forward is going to be a mage - pure dps for the first time in years. My holy/disc priest and resto sham will be gathering dust for the foreseeable.
I don't know about y'all but for me at least, leveling has been downright PAINFUL this expansion. As evidenced by me still being 6 bars away from level 90. -_-

Current blooms
Hello after a long absence. It's been a beautiful fall here in MN, but almost all the orchids are back inside, because it's finally going to get cold, or so they say. I still have a Coelogyne cristata and a couple of Chinese cyms outside, but they are coming in soon, too. How about a few pictures?
First, Doritis pulcherrima - flowers are a bit under 1 inch:
The plant is in a nice little Chinese pot:
Flower closeup:
Psychopsis Mendenhall - first bloom, bought a bit over a year ago:
P. Mendenhall flowers - 6" (15 cm) tall:
Oncidium ornithorhynchum - old favorite, love the smell:

I'll probably post some more in a few days - hope you enjoy these.

How to please a women sexually is easy for a lot of men. But, there are men have found it hard to find the methods and means to bring sexual pleasure to their partners. A lot of women, have no problem explaining to their partner what stimulates their sexual prowess. But, there are still women out there who never voice their sexual desires to their partners. Coupled with the fact that some men are not very good at performing sex and have no desire to pleasure their partners. They are self serving sexual partners and could care less about their woman's pleasure. But, you're not one of those types I hope.
Let's be frank for a second. Women enjoy sex just as much as men, but some women never express their true desires for sexual stimulation. We as men need to nurture these woman's feelings and help them come to their sexual reincarnation.
How to please a women sexually does not have to be difficult. After all, you are they type that wants your lover to feel the same pleasure you receive when having sex.
Here are a few tips on how to please a women sexually.
1. Open up some dialogue with your lover over her sexual desires. You do not have to discuss these types of conversations in the bedroom. You can talk over a cup of coffee or maybe on the couch. Some women feel confined by the bedroom and are more than willing to open up when outside of it.
2. Ensure your partners trust in you. You want to make sure that whatever your women tells you, you will be more than willing to try it. You need to develop a deep in trust, this will allow you to try different sexual positions without reservations.
3. Ask your women if she has a favorite sex toy she likes to use. Maybe she can teach you how to use it and you will be able to implement her favorite techniques.
4. Ask her if you can be allowed to watch her masturbate. You will be able to use her same techniques to bring her to orgasm. Women are just like men and both of us masturbate. Having her show and tell you how to bring her to orgasm will only heighten your sexual pleasure.
5. Make sure you allow her to be herself. The trust you share with her in the bedroom should never be broken. You do not want her to tell you something that turns her on and then poke fun of it or tell her you have reservations about it.
6. Develop communication keys in bed when trying different techniques. Have special words that you both can use that will mean to stop whatever us happening. The heat of the moment can cause people to forget their surroundings. It's important you develop words to use in case one of you becomes uncomfortable when trying new things.
All these tips will help how to sexually please women. You are not the only one expecting pleasure from sex. You have a partner and they have sexual desires that need to be fulfilled.

Birthplace of Memorial Day?
The custom of strewing flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers has innumerable founders, going back perhaps beyond the horizon of recorded history, perhaps as far as war itself. But there is the ancient practice and there is Memorial Day, the specific holiday, arising from an order for the annual decoration of graves that was delivered in 1868 by Maj. Gen. John A. Logan, the commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a group made up of Union veterans of the Civil War.
According to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, roughly two dozen places claim to be the primary source of the holiday, an assertion found on plaques, on Web sites and in the dogged avowals of local historians across the country.
Yet each town seems to have different criteria: whether its ceremony was in fact the earliest to honor Civil War dead, or the first one that General Logan heard about, or the first one that conceived of a national, recurring day.

Ever since installing the new mac client I have been unable to view allchat while spectating games. Is everyone having this issue or did I miss something? I have reinstalled for another issue before and it is still giving me this issue.
bump, anyone else have this issue?

Hey GoingHAM,
The default setting has All chat disabled. Have you re-enabled it in the options menu? Sorry for any confusion this caused.
Junior Member
Don't know if you've fixed the issue yet, but make sure that you turn on /all chat IN GAME rather then in the spectating client. I had a similar problem and it wasn't fixed when I attempted to turn on all chat in the spectating client, but it was fixed when I turned on all chat while in an actual game.

dvd connection to hdtv
I just got a 120 hz LED tv. I have it connected to my cable box with a high speed HDMI and the picture is great. When playing a DVD on a standard DVD player the picture is not so good. I've tried connecting it with a component and also a standard HDMI. Must I have a Blu Ray player with this tv or is there a way to improve the picture with a regular DVD player?
I'm going to assume that what you have for a TV is a 1080p, 120 Hz, LCD, LED back-lit display. If your DVD player does upscaling to 1080p, it would be via the HDMI output. You then need to select that you want 1080p HDMI output on the DVD player.
If the DVD player does not upscale to 1080p, you may be better off using the 480i or 480p (trial and error as to which is best) output via the component video output on the DVD player. Again, you'll need to select 480i/p. The TV will then upscale that signal to it's native 1080p display.
Don't forget that some dics look better that others, so try a few.
BTW - High speed HMDI vs Std HDMI is a somewhat questionable rating given to the cables when length exceeds 25 feet.
The short answer is if you want to take full advantage of your new TV, then you need a Blu-Ray player. DVD's have far less information on them than your TV can display. To make this simple, lets assume that your TV has a million little pixels. Your DVD only has information to fill, say, 700,000 of those pixels. In a process called "up convert" the DVD player, TV, or other device basically fills in the missing pixels, kind of guessing what should go there. Some devices do a better job than others but in the end a DVD will never look as good as true HD.

and it's been since way before smart phones…
During rush hour there are forty billion people using the same off-ramp.
What I always hated was the Portland habit of honking at the person at a red light or stop sign when there were oncoming cars that made it unsafe to right turn. Gee, you want them to get hit? Brilliant…
When someone did that to me at a red light, I'd wait until it turned green, even if the traffic opened up to where I could right turn on red safely. I wasn't about to reward them…
For once I agree with Rat. My favorite is when the offending driver wake's up just in time to be the last one through the light
Rat's calculations are on a global scale.
I think most of us agree with Rat more often than not … we may not take our responses to his extremes, but we'd sure like to …
What annoys me are the 'automatic horns'… the ones that go off the instant the light changes.
We all wonder about the guy driving way too fast and pulling weird maneuvers..What a fool!……But when we're late for work, we're that guy…
I often wondered why the French never stopped bumper to bumper at the lights, until I witnessed a situation where the lead driver didn't pull away immediately the lights changed and everyone else quietly (the French rarely sound their horns) and calmly pulled past him, leaving him still on his mobile or whatever.
This is a reason to have audible alerts built into new cars to sense when traffic lights turn green. They seem to do everything else technologically!
I had a mate who would get out of the car and walk back to ask the "honker" what was wrong … maybe a taillight not working or a tyre going flat on his car, etc.
I was also warned by a colleague in Portland that it wasn't recommended to do this in the USA because many impatient drivers also carried guns (or was that most all drivers carried guns, or something just as stupid).
Hey, in many developing countries (e.g., India !!) the horns start BEFORE the light changes.
Smartphones & dumb people=bad combo.
what makes you think that habit is exclusive to Portland? [BTW, WHICH Portland? Maine? Oregon? UK?]
My Dad would get out of the car and smile and wave at the honker.

Letter from Cal
Every summer—after I've had time to digest the previous season—I send a letter to all my players. In it I put forth my expectations for the season and set the tone for what we will work to accomplish when we begin play in November. For you, the reader, the following is your introductory letter to becoming a member of my Bounce Back Team.
February 2009
Dear Bounce-Back Team Member:
Who would have ever guessed something good would come from blowing a nine-point lead with two minutes and twelve seconds to go in the 2008 NCAA men's basketball championship game?
But the loss of my former team, the Memphis Tigers, in that game, the devastation of that bitter end to the 2007–08 season and the way we all dealt with the aftermath provided the impetus for me to write this book, which I envision helping you get through your own personal bounce back. A lot has changed since those two minutes and twelve seconds transpired. There's been another fantastic season of college basketball played; a new and worthy champion, the University of North Carolina, won the 2009 national title; and I've left the University of Memphis for the dream job I accepted at the University of Kentucky on April 1, 2009. But the experiences, lessons, and results of that magical 2007–08 campaign will live forever with me, and now, hopefully with you. That's the silver lining I've discovered— knowing that the total, public humiliation of letting that lead slip away will now help me to touch lives in a positive way that otherwise would not have been possible.
Simply by reading and embracing the messages within this book, you will become a member of a special team—my team. The circumstances that led you to pick up this book—separation, divorce, foreclosure, downsizing, firing—have no bearing on how you came to the team. The important thing is, you found it, and you are willing to let me coach you through this period in your life. You have already taken a huge first step by acknowledging you need some guidance and direction.
You are part of a diverse group of people, and that diversity is something I'm quite comfortable with. My team at Kentucky (and before that at the University of Memphis and the University of Massachusetts) has always had players from diverse backgrounds and social levels. They come to me from various sets of life experiences. Some have been from privileged backgrounds, others were from middle-class homes, but most have been underprivileged African American adolescents whose young lives have been characterized by one bounce back after another. I'm proud to say I've been able to impact on their lives in positive ways, and I will do the same for you now that you're part of my team. Some of my guys have gone to the NBA, like Marcus Camby, Derrick Rose, and Tyreke Evans, but the majority of my former players have gone on to the "real world" far away from the arenas, the gyms, and the adulation. It is their stories of success and the overcoming of odds that I share most often. Nothing is more gratifying to me than having former players come back and thank me for the tough love and the coaching I provide for each and every young man.
Hopefully my impact on you will have a similar resonance. Everyone reading this book is coming to it from a different place. Some are incredibly wealthy, some are incredibly poor. Some have been knocked down before, and some are "rookies" entering their very first bounce-back experience. I've had two significant—public—bounce backs in my first fifty years of life, and I fully expect there to be others. Almost no one goes through life unscathed, and the ability to overcome obstacles is often what separates the haves from the have-nots.
The pages that follow will be your personal playbook to overcoming whichever of life's obstacles have brought you here. This is a book about coaching you through your bounce back, and when basketball experiences serve as illustrations for your benefit, I've included them. There are all sorts of setbacks in life; they can be as varied as the people who are affected by them. You are not the first to be dealing with the emotions and strife that result from life's obstacles, and you will not be the last. But by the time we are finished, you will be in a better position mentally and emotionally, I promise you that.
Whatever it is that has spurred you to pick up this book, there are certain undeniable rungs on the ladder of a bounce back that everyone will deal with. It's your ability to face the challenges head-on and with a positive mental attitude that will determine the ultimate success of your revitalization. Don't be fearful of the odd sensations that accompany the climb up the ladder; they are perfectly normal. Without them, you wouldn't be human.
Let me be the first to tell you, in brutally honest terms, that this could very well be one of the toughest undertakings you've faced in your life. There will be days when you think you have taken two steps up the ladder only to find out you have actually taken two steps down. You may feel depressed, defeated, or dispirited. At times it may seem like there is no hope and you are living in a permanent state of darkness. But I'm here to tell you those feelings will not last forever. You just need to work through them and allow me to coach you. Put your faith in me, and I will do the same with you.
The only one who can turn your situation around is you. That doesn't mean you can't solicit and accept help, but it does mean you are the main character in the story we are about to write of your bounce back. In fact, you will be doing a fair share of writing throughout this book, so be aware that you cannot be passive in any way, shape, or form. My Kentucky team works past exhaustion, and for your bounce back you will need to do the same.
You are going to be active with our whole team of bounce backers who are already congregating at a website I have set up: www.coachcalbounceback.com. At that site, we are building a community of bounce-back team members who will share their ups, their downs, their triumphs, and their tips. Think of it as our Players' Lounge, where we can congregate, commiserate, and coalesce as a unit. I encourage you to visit the site often and take part in the discussions and the sharing we are doing.
In 1999 when I was fired by the NBA's New Jersey Nets in a very public manner, I needed what you now hold in your hands—a book which would let me know that what I was going through was perfectly normal and all part of a multistage process that would eventually lead to my bounce-back job (for me it meant returning to the college game at Memphis, where we went to two Elite 8s and a Final Four). For you it can mean a new career, a new significant other, or a fresh start altogether.
Because of the many facets to a bounce back, this book is meant to be digested in bites. You are welcome to pop in and out as your own personal bounce back unfolds. Some of you may be well into your job search, and others may still be "under the covers." But what's more important is that you recognize that you're not alone. Millions of people are going through life's turmoil, and every one of them has a lesson to be shared, a tip to offer, or a word of hope that will inspire you.
Your teammates and I are here for you. Lean on us, and form a trust and bond so when you're able, you can turn around and help the next person on the ladder behind you. Your goal is to help yourself first, then at some point down the road, you will help others. It may seem unimaginable now, but soon you will be the one giving guidance, not receiving it.
You have to be willing to put in the time and be willing to be persistent with your bounce back, and you need to be coachable. Listen to my words and those of the experts I've reached out to—because we have been there before. The best way to learn is by having the advice of those who have been in your place before.
As I told my eventual Final Four, national runner-up Memphis team in their August 2007 letter prior to the 2007–08 season, "Let's all work with perfection in mind as we work on our weak areas. To talk in these terms may put more pressure on us, but in my opinion the only pressure is to prepare this summer like it's your last summer to prepare—the rest will take care of itself. If we do prepare with a passion for perfection, we will all expect to win every game whoever the opponent. To reach your personal goals, we must be playing on the last day!"
I'm not naive enough to think my letter was the reason our Memphis team won more college basketball games than any team ever had in a single season (thirty-eight) and had winning streaks of twenty-six and twelve games, or why we became a true, once-in-a-generation "dream team," but I do know my one-page, preseason letter put everyone in the same mind-set as we strove toward our goal.
That's what this letter is meant to do for you.
What I discuss within this book are many of the same principles I discuss when Fortune 500 companies ask me to come and coach their workforces. Bounce backs are constantly cropping up in the business world—especially now—and there are many parallels between what I do with my Kentucky team and what international corporations should be doing with their employees and resources. Business—and life—is all about bouncing back. It's not about how far you fall but how high you rebound.
In fact, in the time since I began working on this book, I have encountered an array of people and stories of famous (and not-so-famous) folks who have gone through their own bounce backs. Some were fired from their jobs, others were laid off, and many had seen their retirement funds shrink substantially or their homes face foreclosure, and still more were enduring a separation from a loved one.
Together, we will get you through whatever it is you are attacking right now. Stay with me and don't cheat yourself in any way. Let me coach you through your bounce back. I will coach you until that point in time when you are ready to coach yourself and then others. I am looking forward to this journey with you and all the challenges it will present. My teams always get better over the course of a season, and, likewise, you will improve over the duration of this book.
Are you ready? Let's get started …
Your Coach,
Coach Cal

Overcoming Setbacks to Succeed in Business and in Life
Bounce Back
Overcoming Setbacks to Succeed in Business and in Life
Winning advice on how to turn life's setbacks into successes from John Calipari, the legendary basketball coach and powerful motivational speaker who has experienced more than his share of both.
I want readers to know they are not alone. People get fired every day. I can give guidance in negotiating those troubling times and so can the people I enlisted to help me with this book."
When John Calipari was fired as head coach of the New Jersey Nets in 1999, just twenty games into his third season, he decided to face his humbling experience head on. Rather than hide from the public eye, he brushed himself off and climbed back on his horse, resurrecting his career in short order. Bounce Back shows readers how they can stay positive, stay focused, and reach new heights of success—no matter how grim their situation might seem. Emphasizing the power of a good attitude, Calipari offers hands-on advice about how to turn unexpected disappointments into exciting new opportunities. In addition to his own experiences, good and bad, he draws on those of other prominent figures who have had to make comebacks, among them management guru Ken Blanchard and basketball Hall of Famer Larry Brown.
John Calipari is renowned for inspiring his teams not just to win but also to become better people along the way. As galvanizing a coach in the game of life as he is on the hardwood, Calipari's Bounce Back proves that success has little to do with luck and everything to do with hard work, perseverance, hope, and a strong, positive attitude.

Would there be any difference to the taste of your beer if you were to use Mccormicks extract flavoring from a local grocery store as compared to one made especially for beer from my LHBS?
Is the homebrewery flavoring different from the cooking/desert flavoring?Thanks, Rob
I have wondered the same thing and almost recently posted the exact question. I have no idea on the answer, however I would assume there are only minor differences. In leiu of asking the question I decided I would do some trial and error and find out for myself. I bottled a batch of Honey Wheat last week and added Raspberry extract (store bought McCormicks) to half, and Strawberry (also store bought) to the remainder. Last night I sampled both and was pleasently surprised with the results. While the beer was still noticeably "green" in flavor, both extracts really came through. I even added a little extra Strawberry to my glass for an over the top taste.
I've read a lot of complaints about "artificial" tastes from extracts, which I myself don't mind, or haven't really experienced. I think if you want the true sweetness then the syrups are probably your best bet, although this may lead to a more artificial taste. If you just want to have the aroma and a subtle hint of the flavor, I would think store bought extracts may be better. One thing I did notice while adding more is that it can start to get bitter.
Again I'm no expert, most of these assumptions are just based off my palatte and thoughts. I'm sure some of the experts will come to your aid here shortly, with much more informed opinions.
Flavor extracts are all pretty much the same, whether they are MARKETED as food flavoring, beer flavoring, or whatever. The only think is that the extracts marketed as beer flavorings often have recommended dosing instructions, whereas you might have to experiment a little with the right dosing if you buy one marketed as something other than beer flavoring.
Primary #1 - Midnight Ryeder (Midnight Wheat and Rye)
Primary #2 - Mango Habenero Berliner Weisse
Primary #3 - EMPTY!
Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown (brewed August 2012)
Keg #1 - Oktoberfest
Keg #2 - Chamomile Honey Wheat
Keg #3 - Pumpkin Ale
Bottled - NONE!
Store bought extracts are mostly alcohol. I wonder about what alcohol they use.
