Two officials said that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) acknowledged the anti-U.S. motive while being questioned by investigators last weekend.
One official on Wednesday said Tsarnaev cited the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan as the motive for the Boston attack. The official was briefed on the investigation by the FBI.
The other official is close to the investigation. Both officials demanded anonymity to talk about the ongoing probe.
Neighbors have described Dzhokhar's older brother, Tamerlan (TA'-mehr-luhn), as visibly angry about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police last Friday.

Uptown Palace
via Santa Sofia 10, Milan, Italy
Neighborhood: Centro Storico
Let's get one thing straight: Uptown Palace isn't exactly what most of us would describe as palatial. Not that that's a bad thing. This is Milan, where you'll get your fill of neoclassical pomp from the high-fashion flagship stores in the Golden Quadrangle. When it's time to hang it up for the night, opting for a moderately scaled-back design hotel over the old-world glitz of some grand old residence can be a refreshingly affordable change of pace. And since this is the beating heart of the fashion world, where bella figura is elevated to an art form, it's practically against the law for boutiques like the Uptown Palace to be anything less than chic and sophisticated.
Located on the south side of central Milan, one metro stop (or a fifteen-minute walk) from the Piazza Duomo, Uptown Palace offers a relatively peaceful base of operations for business travelers and boutique shoppers alike. Its 158 guest rooms are crisp and polished in that preternaturally stylish way that's so typical of Italian design hotels — picture the missing link between Sixties modernism and effervescent, contemporary urban cool. The basic elements are anything but novel — parquet floors, clean lines, neutral tones — but the result is so effortlessly pleasant, we have to wonder why more hotels can't seem to get the formula quite right.
If your room begins to resemble a storage closet full of Gucci bags and Fendi boxes, it might be time to consider placing yourself under house arrest. Thankfully, you won't go hungry; the Uptown Restaurant serves traditional Italian classics along with a few international additions. When you do venture out, the nearby Missori station enables a quick trip back into the belly of that fashionable beast.

Trolli Sour Brite Hearts
Target often has a good selection of holiday candy in smaller packages, usually in theater boxes. I picked these Trolli Sour Brite Hearts up on the same shelf.
One of the things that makes Valentine's Candy so fun is that it's often packaged for gifting on the level of an actual card (or in addition). It means that small things can be remembrances of affection in a way that a one dollar bag of candy probably can't other times of the year.
So, the Trolli Sour Brite Hearts are a perfect way to say "I know you like highlighter pens, why don't you try eating these?" Or perhaps, "I thought you'd enjoy some heart shaped candy to make you pucker so I'll think you want a kiss."
The gummi hearts are nicely formed and dusted with a sugary, sour sand. Some are bicolored, but most are solid colors.
Creamy orange - tangy, a little orangy ... nice. Not intense but passable.
Creamy green - a rare lime gummi in a green apple world. Much more zesty that I would have expected and the right level of tartness. Of course it reminded me a lot of household cleaners, but who doesn't like a clean house?
Red - cherry. Whoa, it's like a gummi version of a Cepacol lozenge. It has a nice bite to it, so it's not watered down, but something I would prefer to share with a cherry-loving friend than eat myself.
Blue is raspberry with a sort of inky floral flavor to it. It's probably one of the most tart of the bunch.
Yellow is rather weak, for a while I was even wondering if it was a punch flavor. It's more like Mountain Dew than lemonade and not terribly sour or intense.
Pink is strawberry and probably one of my favorites. It was a bit like Jell-O, comforting and flavorful.
Though the name says they're sour, they're really not. I'd call them pleasant and reliable, but not much more than that. I thought a buck was a nice deal for a little something to take to a movie with a friend. I had some Albanese Sour Worms on hand to compare and definitely think that the Albanese is far more intensely sour (and flavorful).
Trolli Sour Brite Hearts are made on shared equipment so they may not be suitable for those with allergies to milk, tree nuts, peanuts and soy.

Brach's Christmas Nougats Mix
A few years back I reviewed one of the classic candies that Brach's has been making for years, their Peppermint Holiday Nougat. The Brach's style of nougat is made with egg whites, just like the European recipes have been for hundreds of years. This version is more of a chew, kind of a hybrid between a taffy and a fluffy honey-sweetened nougat from France, Italy or Spain.
The fun part about the Brach's Christmas Nougats Mix is that they come in three flavors: Cinnamon, Peppermint & Wintergreen.
These kinds of nougats are assembled, truly, by hand. Large logs of nougat are colored and flavored, then stacked together to form the image inside which creates a much larger log. That is then placed on a machine that pulls it into a smaller cord and then cuts the pieces.
I've reviewed the Peppermint version before, and find the same opinion to hold true today. It's a soft chew, very smooth with a nice pop of peppermint. The nougat makes it a short chew, meaning it's not gummy and dissolves pretty quickly without much grain. It has a bit of salt, which mellows out the bulk of the sugar.
The Cinnamon version has a pink background. The cinnamon scent is quite strong and this chew was very soft. It's a sizzling cinnamon, I was surprised at its strength, there was a bit of heat. It's a unique sort of candy, so I appreciate that it's attractive and well made.
The Wintergreen version has a light green background. As much as I'm a fan of the flavor, I can't say that this is the best use of it. Like the cinnamon, this is very strong. And like cinnamon, a lot of wintergreen at once can give a sort of warming "sports rub" sort of feeling. Wintergreen doesn't go well with many other flavors, it's not like this combines well with chocolate or wine, if you were snacking.
These make an attractive bowl of candy, though I think in the future I'd stick with either the Peppermint or the Cinnamon. Wintergreen is just to strange for a candy assortment for Christmas, but certainly something to keep in mind for that person on your list that does have a predilection for the stuff.
Note: the packaging on this predates the Ferrara and Farley's & Sathers merger (the copyright said 2012) and Brach's is planning on changing their packaging design and branding again next year. This bag was made in Mexico.

Brach's S'mores Candy Corn
Candy Corn broke out of its traditional flavor set at least 10 years ago. It's only natural, since the fondant candies known as mellocremes were capable of so much more than just being different colors for different holidays: reindeer corn and bunny corn.
But Halloween has always paid host to the more interesting varieties. Lately we've seen caramel apple flavors, fruits like tangerine and green apple or toffee. Some candy companies have even taken to covering them in chocolate. Brach's has a large variety these days, my favorite from their assortment is still the Brach's Halloween Mix, which is not candy corn but little Halloween shapes like bats, pumpkins and maple syrup jugs. They're lightly flavored and come in cocoa, maple, banana and whatever that honey flavor candy corn is.
The Brach's S'mores Candy Corn straddles the summer and fall line, as S'mores are often a summer camp favorite but can easily be made in the fall around a crackling fall bonfire.
If I understand the point of these correctly, it should be a chocolate base, marshmallow middle and graham cracker flavored top. I have to say that they're pretty ugly. The base is a dusty purple and bleeds into the white center.
They smell like a cross between the reliably over-sweet Candy Corn and graham crackers. The base is vaguely cocoa, but in the most watered down and flavored fashion. The middle layer is wonderfully vacant of flavors, kind of like a marshmallow. The orange tip has a distinct cereal and cracker note to it, like a graham.
The effect is something that's very candy corn-like in flavor, but not very convincing as a S'more. I don't see the point, really, especially since they're not very attractive.
S'mores Candy Corn contains gelatin, no surprise as most candy corn does and certainly marshmallows do. It's also made in a facility that processes everything else:peanuts, tree nuts, milk and eggs plus it contains soy and sesame.
As a side note, Brach's has changed hands quite a few times in the last decade, and this has made some of their products a bit inconsistent. The company was owned by Farley's & Sathers most recently and they have merged with Ferrara Pan and the whole company is now called Ferrara Candy. The Candy Corn manufacturing for Brach's was moved off to Mexico at least two years ago and I've heard many reports from die hard fans that it's not the same any longer (even though the ingredients list appears the same). I agree, it doesn't seem as smooth and consistent as it used to be and I have switched to recommending the Jelly Belly Candy Corn if you're actually going to eat it. Brach's is still fine for decorative purposes.

Brach's Ice Cream Conversation Hearts
Brach's Ice Cream Conversation Hearts provide a conceptually different choice in the area of conversation candies. They're flavored like ice cream, which is to say that they're more mainstream than the original spice inspired flavors that Necco used to produce.
When I go to the store and browse ice cream flavors, the tops on my list of consideration go something like this (not necessarily in order): chocolate, coffee, mint chocolate chip, butter pecan, peanut butter cup and then maybe vanilla. I can't remember the last time I bought strawberry ice cream (though I buy strawberry sorbet rather often) and orange sherbet is so far off my list of viable flavors, I can't even recall seeing it in stores.
Strawberry (pink) was bitter and only a vague floral hint of berry. Mostly bitter from the food coloring.
Cherry (same shade of pink) was bitter and sweet with only a faint cherry flavoring note. Not tartness, just sweet. I'm still not convinced that there was any difference, except strawberry seemed even more bitter.
I had to take a break at this point because of the bitterness. A bit of water. Some crackers. I don't know why I started with pink.
Vanilla (white) was expected to be flavorless, but actually does have a pleasant vanilla note to it. It's like a marshmallow flavor. Really the only one I picked through assortment to eat. But it was really that I was actively avoiding nearly every other piece.
Chocolate was just horrible. Worse than the pink candies, because it was so lacking in chocolate and ended up tasting like a musty basement. You can tell just by looking at it that it can't taste like chocolate, it's not brown.
Orange was mild and did remind me of orange sherbet, except for the fact that it was missing that juice tartness. So it was more like an orange chapstick.
Now that I've tried their take on the classic ice cream flavors, I have no interest in their take on something more complex like butter pecan or mint chocolate chip. It's best they failed at the easy stuff so I don't get my hopes up.
Brach's also has Heartlines Classic Conversation Hearts (I reviewed them when they were called small conversation hearts) on the shelves again this year. They're better than the classic Necco (which are achingly hard to find) but still, not quite right.
Taken as a non-toxic and cheap decoration, there's little better than conversation hearts. I paid only $2.50 for a full pound. Even if no one eats them from this cute jar on my desk, it was an inexpensive way to look like I'm observing the holiday. If you're not eating them, it doesn't matter which version you pick up. Choose based on the color combos, the sayings on them, or where they're made. (These are made in Argentina.) There's little point in choosing based on flavor.

Lemonhead & Friends Jellies
Ferrara Pan is introducing quite a few new products lately, especially for the holidays. I noticed this last year when I saw a more generic item on the shelves called Ferrara Pan Chicks & Bunnies Jelly Candy. This year I didn't see that product on shelves again, instead I found what seemed more exciting and actually got my mouth watering: Lemonhead & Friends Jellies in Fun Springtime Shapes.
It's a super simple classic candy, a moist, jelled sugar in fruit flavors coated in crunchy sugar.
The name Lemonhead brings to mind a sweet and tart candy, that's layered with bursts of flavor that includes zest, tartness and sweetness. Let me just start off saying, there is nothing Lemhonheady about these. The assumption I made was that these sugary coatings were also tart. There's not one iota of tartness in these. But let me move on and tell you what you do get.
The pieces are huge. Larger than I expect something like a jelly to be, though they're probably about the same weight as a jelly orange slice, they just seemed more than two bites big. They come in two shapes, chicks and rabbits.
Green = Green Apple: this was strange. It was like the artificial banana equivalent of green apple. A strange vaporous version with a slight acetone burn to it. It was all sweet and no tartness, so the flavor was missing a lot of the key flavor oomph.
Red = Cherry: was sweet and almost floral. It was a like a rose flavored version of fake cherry. The bitter aftertaste of the artificial colors was quite noticeable in this rather dark red jelly candy.
Purple = Grape: this has so much going on for it from the smell. It was like a grape soda in the shape of a chick ... until I bit into it and it was all promise and no delivery. The inky grapeness was there as a scent, but there was no malic acid tartness to go along with it. The artificial coloring also gave it a weird aluminum note.
Yellow = Lemon: citrus flavors always go so well with jellies because there are a few flavor notes that go beyond the tangy juice. In this case the zest is dead on, though a little bitter and the sweet floral notes are present. It's a smidge on the grapefruit side, but I still enjoyed it.
Orange = Orange: like the lemon, this had two components, a note of the orange peel and a bit of floral soapiness. It wasn't as strong as the lemon, but the balance is good and placed this one among my favorite three flavors.
Pink = Watermelon: was completely unexpected. I thought this was going to be strawberry. The flavor is strange, it reminded me of fresh laundry from the dryer ... there was a sort of static cling smell (I can't really explain it) and a sweet floral note rather like strawberry and limes.It was really dreadful and bizarre.
The Ferrara Pan more generic jellies were far less expensive and didn't promise me anything, so I couldn't be disappointed. The Lemonhead & Friends Jellies captured me with the idea that they were like Lemonheads, that they were going to be tart. That's an interesting proposition. On the other hand, these fruit jellies do come in some more unusual flavors - I've never seen Watermelon or Green Apple jellies before. So if you've always hated the tartness of Lemonheads, here's an opportunity to partake of the brand.
If you're looking for the best sour jelly, try the Gimbal's Sour Lovers.

Ferrara Chocolate Candy Coated Chocolate Covered Almond Eggs
Ferrara Pan which is known for Lemonheads and Atomic Fireballs got into the chocolate business a few years back making very good domestic versions of segmented chocolate oranges (with Belgian chocolate) and panned nut treats. This new Ferrara Chocolate group is also creating some new holiday items, I was excited to see these fun speckled eggs called Candy Coated Chocolate Covered Almond Eggs at Walgreen's.
The bag is priced pretty well, at $2.49 for a half a pound, it's about what I will pay for Almond M&Ms on sale.
The eggs are a nice size, indicating that they either have a lot of chocolate in there or start with very large almonds. They're a milk chocolate product with a lot of milk in them. The first ingredient in the chocolate coating is sugar, the second is whole milk. So, that's some milky chocolate. The coatings are attractive. They start with a pastel base and have little speckles on them. Some are quite speckled, others have barely a burnishing of color.
The ratios are great, the chocolate is thick and the almonds are nicely sized and well roasted to a crunch. The milky chocolate is sweet, but not that Easter-cloying sweetness. The level of milk in it gives it a cool melt on the tongue and a light toffee and dairy finish. The other notes are a bit of smoke, either from the chocolate itself or the almonds and maybe a hint of cinnamon (they are the makers of Red Hots). The shell is a little thinner than M&Ms so it has a lighter crunch.
They're good. Good enough that I ate the whole bag in three days. They're different from M&Ms, the melt of the chocolate is less sweet and less fudgy and a little smoother, but the flavor isn't quite as intense. I prefer the look of the Ferrera to M&Ms and the consistent shape of the candies.
The candies are Kosher and made in the United States with Belgian chocolate. No gluten statement. There's also no statement about the sourcing of the cacao and ethical concerns on the package or their website.

Ferrara Pan White Hot Red Hots Jelly Beans
Valentine's Day is all about red. Red is the color of love and passion; candies for Valentine's Day play upon the flavors that follow with red: cherry, strawberry, raspberry and cinnamon. The fruity flavors are usually easy to find, but cinnamon is a little less common.
I was excited to see this small bag of Ferrara Pan White Hot Red Hots Jelly Beans for sale at Walgreen's in their Valentine's candy display. What does White Hot Red Hots actually mean? The package doesn't say, but the little window shows that the small jelly beans come in two colors: red and a red speckled pink. Any additional questions could be answered for a mere buck.
The beans are pretty and well made. They're glossy, consistently shaped and I appreciated that the bag was sized appropriately for the amount of candy actually in it. (Sometimes bags are absurdly large but have very little candy in them.)
The white hot part, I think, means that these are very spicy cinnamon. Red Hots is just a brand of cinnamon imperials made by Ferrara Pan.
They're a little larger than a Jelly Belly but smaller than the classic pectin bean. (Shown above with a Tic Tac.)
They are actually very spicy. I just ate a bag of Hot Tamales last week and I can confirm that these are just slightly hotter than those. The shape is good, it's small and packs a powerful cinnamon punch. There's a slight clove note to them and every once in a while I also got a little whiff of artificial watermelon, which may just be a manufacturing thing.
I liked them. It was easy to just pop a few as both a pick-me-up and a little breath freshener. They go well with coffee or tea. I'd definitely pick these up again especially because I like the smaller sized bag. Ferrara Pan already makes Lemonheads & Friends Jelly Beans but I would be curious to try a standard spice flavor array or maybe a mint blend. (Ferrara Pan is known for their Lemonhead and Atomic Fireballs, but they also do a lot of contract manufacturing for house brands and other major candy companies, so chance are you've had their jelly beans before.)
They're made with confectioners glaze, so they're not considered vegetarian (though there's no carmine in there). They're made in equipment that also processes dairy, soy, tree nuts and peanuts. No mention of wheat/gluten but "modified food starch" is listed as an ingredient without any indication of the source.

Berry Chewy Lemonheads
Ferrara Pan Berry Chewy Lemonhead & Friends are the newest introduction of Lemonheads line. These are the chewy version, they're kind of like a flavor blasted jelly bean that has a tangy shell.
The Lemonheads line is quite varied now, Ferrara Pan has gone beyond the single flavor boxes (lemon, orange, cherry, grape and green apple) and includes more of these flavored mixes including the Chewy Lemonheads & Friends and last year's introduction, Tropical Chewy Lemonheads.
The box features anthropomorphic versions of the flavors, Cherry Lemon, Wild Berry, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry and Red Raspberry on stage as if they're a rock band. Strawberry is a torch singer and Raspberry has drum sticks but no drums.
The pieces are attractive, they're little spheres, slightly larger than garden peas. They're slightly irregular but boldly colored and uniformly shiny.
Red Raspberry (dark red) has a nice tartness and even a slight dry finish, a mix of floral berry notes with less of the artificial coloring bitterness.
Strawberry (lighter red) is sweet with a light tangy note under the grainy shell. It's not a very well rounded flavor and has a bit of a bitter note for me because of the artificial colorings.
Blue Raspberry (blue) is very woodsy and strangely chemical at the same time. There's a floral raspberry flavor but also something kind of like artificial watermelon in there.
Wild Berry (dark purple) has a lot of flavors going on but is mostly a punch flavor, some cherry and raspberry is evident and maybe a little blueberry note in there. Not at all sour.
Cherry Lemon (medium red) was actually really good but strange. The lemon had a strong zest component but not much tang. The cherry was sweet and almost floral. It was definitely not the ordinary sour cherry flavored candy (and nothing like the Cherry Chewy Lemonhead).
The good thing about the mix is that it's easy to just eat them without looking at the colors because the flavors aren't that distinctive and never clash. The bad thing is that the flavors aren't that distinctive and are so mild to the point that all of the best things about Lemonheads (the intense flavor difference between the shell and center) are lost.
I'll stick to the classic, hard centered Lemonheads, but the Chewy Lemonhead & Friends are pretty good too, so good that I'm giving them out for Halloween as the non-chocolate option.
They're not vegetarian/vegan because of the presence of confectioners glaze. They're also manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk and soy. No mention of wheat. Not Kosher.

Fisher & Paykel washer oil/grease stains
I have a Fisher & Paykel Intuitive Eco washer, about 4 years old, that is leaving a clear grease or oil stain on our clean clothes. I have air dried clothes and found it, so I know it is the washer and not the dryer. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on what is causing it or how to fix it? Thanks!
Do you typically wash in only cold water? Do you use liquid softener? What detergent(s)? The problem could be grunge/scrud build-up. Run the "Tub Clean" LifeCycle, with a couple cups of an *enzyme-based* (check the package label) POWDER dishwasher detergent. In an extreme case the inner basket may need to be pulled for access to clean the exterior of it, and the interior of the outer tub.
F&P washers don't have a transmission, so there's no oil or grease from such to leak out. There is some grease on the drive shaft bearings. It wouldn't normally get into the clothes, but I suppose that could happen.
We have a Fisher Paykel Eco smart GWL11 washer. Its about 5 or 6 years old. For the last 1-2 years we continually get clear oily / greasy spots on our clothes. They appear on front,back, randomoly. I have seen posts on forums with others having the same problem, but have not seen a posted resolution. We have tried, hot, cold, warm, different detergents, changed the hoses, take out the tube and cleaned all inside parts completely with no luck. Could the bearing in the bottom be leaking during spin cycles? If so, how much and how do I relace it.
Eric Wilson
Rowlett, Texas, USA
If grease is escaping from the main bearing, you'd likely have seen evidence of it inside the tub when the machine was disassembled for cleaning ... and beneath on the motor area. A bad bearing & seal would also typically evidence water leaking and excess/abnormal noise during spin.
Sounds like you're having scrud, which is accumulated residue from a combination of minerals in the water, detergent, and fabric softener. What exactly did you disassemble for cleaning? You said "tube" above, but I assume that should be "tub" ... meaning you removed the inner basket, cleaned it, the agitator, and the interior of the outer tub?
This happened to me, and it drove me crazy. IT took me awhile to finally realize it was the washer and not the dryer. A poster above mentioned scrud. That's exactly what it is. Our repair guy told me that it is a buildup of detergent. He took out the tub and cleaned everything thoroughly. Then he advised me to use much less detergent. We haven't had a problem since.
I had the same problem and easily fixed it by unscrewing the cap at the top center of the agitator at the bottom of the washer barrel and cleaning out the crud that gets trapped there. It must come out onto the laundry from time to time particularly when sheets are being washed probably because they are less balanced and wobble the drum more than most loads.

Architects for investor Chris Hansen on Wednesday released the first drawings of the interior of the planned new Seattle sports arena.
The accompanying descriptions highlight the intimacy and energy the designers hope to achieve as well as a fan experience that's more egalitarian and less exclusive than at other sports venues.
The drawings show a steep lower bowl, which puts fans closer to the action and improves sightlines.
The upper seating is dramatically shortened and features three stacked balconies dubbed the "Sonic Rings," on which fans can stand and scream.

"Having 2,000 to 4,000 fans literally overhanging the game not only creates the most intimate venue in the NBA, but will also provide you with the opportunity to create the loudest, most energetic atmosphere in yet another pro sport — or better yet two!" says Chris Hansen, referring to the possibility of both professional basketball and hockey, on his website www.sonicsarena.com.
Hansen said there will be reduced stratification between seating levels "giving typically premium seating amenities to all our fans." And instead of exclusive suites that "speak to status superiority and isolation," Hansen said the design allows for flexible suite layouts to accommodate groups and businesses of different sizes.
Hansen's design team also released a new drawing of the arena at night with the bladed roof bathed in a cool blue light rather than the orange of previous drawings that had been variously described as a veggie steamer or a sliced ham.
"And in case you missed it, the exterior is a 'SuperSonic' jet turbine … not a flan!" Hansen wrote.

Reach Falls is absolutely beautiful, you will feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. At the falls there is a deep pool that you can jump into from the top of the falls or a platform off to the side and some small caves to explore. After exploring the falls let one of the guides know you would like to hike to the cave. The first stop on what I thought was a pretty easy hike, is the heart shaped "jacuzzi", which is a large hole carved out in the rocks that looks like a heart with fast water flowing beneath it. Nothing too exciting but a nice photo opp. Next, after a 10 minute hike you come to a cave that your guide will help you climb down into and from there you will swim under the rocks and back out into the river. This was really cool!!
One note, the sign to Reach Falls is pretty small. If you are coming from Port Antonio keep a look out on the right after you pass the police station in Manchioneal and you won't miss it.

Whats Killing My Peppers
Guys / Gals. Something is destroying my pepper plants this year. I've never had anything like this happen before. Its so wierd. I really don't know what is doing it. Here is a pic:
Ive always had cotton tail rabbits, and birds in my garden all the time and they don't seem to have done any damage in the past. Also my neighbors have cats, but again, they haven't do any damage in the past. Whatever it is, it looks like i need to invest in a BB gun. Some peppers have more damage and there is hardly anything left and some have less. Any help would be appreciated.
Well i think i found the culprit unless its a combination of things. I was watching last night at sparrows picking at the leaves of my peppers. I don't even know how to deal with sparrows other than a BB Gun. Its wierd because they haven't bothered my peppers in the past. I really don't know what attracts on the wildlife to my garden anyways but it looks like its the work of these dang sparrows looks like i'll be buying a BB Guy tonight.

Left Hand De'Nile Coffee Ale, For Old Chicago
Left Hand Brewing (Longmont, CO) currently has a coffee ale in select Old Chicago Restaurants across the United States. The beer debuted in early February.
Left Hand De'Nile Coffee Ale is a collaboration with Allegro Coffee, and the brewery's Ro Guenzel. The team selected Allegro's Blue Nile Blend coffee to nuance Left Hand's base beer, brewed with lactose.
First, Allegro's Blue Nile BLEND coffee was hand-selected due to its intense berry and spice notes. Then, a unique recipe was created in order to best compliment the characteristics of the coffee. The result is a burnished, copper-colored brew with a white head that is the perfect equilibrium of maple, chocolate and coffee with a medium mouthfeel and a citrus aroma from Caliente and Amarillo hops.
Left Hand De'Nile Coffee Ale is available now at Old Chicago Restaurants (locator in new window) and the the brewery's tap room.
Style: Amber Ale (w/ Coffee, Lactose.)
Hops: Amarillo, Caliente
Malts: 2 Row, Munich, Caramunich, Wheat, Caraaroma
Availability: Draft only
Release: Early February, 2015
5.5% ABV, 57 IBUs

Arrival: Mid February, 2015
Past Anniversary beers:

Sierra Nevada's Hop Hunter Distillation Process [VIDEO]
Sierra Nevada's Hop Hunter IPA is hitting shelves around the U.S. This new IPA uses steam distilled wet hops, directly from the brewery's hop fields. The result is a highly aromatic IPA, unlike most of the beers out there.
If the idea is still a little foreign, try this video animation.
Yep. That's a Rabbit Pushing A Beer Cart [VIDEO]
That is a rabbit pushing a beer cart.
YouTuber Wallace the Mad King worked for more than a year to get this rabbit to push the cart the 2 feet.
This event marks the release of an epic accomplishment. I have been collaborating for the past year with my girlfriend's pet rabbit to create performance art and "happenings" that capture this rabbit's capabilities and worldly passions. In a million years, neither Wallace nor I would have guessed that our creative endeavors would take this route but after such a long journey we arrive at this significant moment.

First Look: SweetWater SpinnerBait [VIDEO]
SweetWater Brewery (Atlanta, GA) nixed fall seasonal Motorboat in order to bump up last winter's hit release – Whiplash White IPA. That left a spot open for a new winter seasonal to bolster the cold weather lineup – SweetWater Spinnerbait.
SweetWater is known for their love of hops, but for Spinnerbait, the brewery went a different direction. A Belgian direction. Spinnerbait is a Belgian-style red brewed with candi sugar, that goes easy on the aggressive hops. This allows the Ardennes yeast to do the flavor work.
SweetWater Spinnerbait hits shelves starting this week in 12oz bottles, draft, and in the Tacklebox variety pack.
Head brewer Nick Nock gives you the rundown in the Beer Street Journal video above.
Style: Belgian-Style Red Ale (w/ Candi Sugar)
Hops: Willamette, US Golding, Columbus
Malts: 2-Row, Pilsner, Wheat, Black Wheat
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Dec-Feb

In mid-October, a black headline glared from the Albuquerque Journal. It read: "Jackpot in the Oil Patch - State Rules Helped Politically Connected Players."
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — Aging Pearl Harbor survivors on Tuesday heard reassurances their sacrifice would be remembered and passed on to future generations as they gathered to mark the 69th anniversary of the attack.
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose broadly after President Barack Obama and Republican leaders agreed to a package of tax cuts and an extension of unemployment benefits. Bond prices fell as traders moved money into riskier assets.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday urged congressional Democrats to quickly embrace a contentious tax cut plan that President Barack Obama cut with Republicans, arguing that the rank and file need to move on to other issues before the party loses control of the House in January.
LONDON (AP) — A British judge jailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Tuesday, ordering the leader of secret-spilling website behind bars as his organization's finances came under increasing pressure.
Assange showed no reaction as Judge Howard Riddle denied him bail in an extradition case that could see him sent to Sweden to face allegations of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Shine a spotlight on Tom Brady and he makes nearly everyone else disappear.
Especially opposing defenses.
Brady doesn't lose many big games, certainly not at home and definitely not with so much on the line. He threw for four touchdowns and 326 yards Monday night in New England's 45-3 romp past the New York Jets for his NFL-record 26th straight regular-season home victory.
It was the most anticipated matchup of the year — and it was a rout from the outset.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Leaders of six U.S.-allied Gulf Arab nations said Tuesday they were monitoring with "utmost concern" developments in Iran's disputed nuclear program and issued a thinly veiled warning to their Persian neighbor not to meddle in their internal affairs.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea's president promised Tuesday to transform five islands that lie along the tense maritime border with North Korea into "military fortresses" impervious to the kind of deadly attack the rival neighbor launched last month.
As the government in Seoul struggles to counter the widespread impression its response was too weak and too slow, the new defense minister also ordered his top commanders to retaliate with force if attacked.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama scheduled a short-notice news conference Tuesday to sell a new tax cut compromise that makes big concessions to Republicans as the White House scurried to assuage angry Democrats.
Vice President Joe Biden traveled to the Capitol to lobby senators as liberal groups attacked the proposal that would extend Bush-era tax cuts for all Americans, including the richest, for two years. They argued that Obama had abandoned a long-held position in fashioning the compromise.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama met with Democratic congressional leaders at the White House on Monday, eager to seal a year-end bipartisan agreement to extend expiring tax cuts to all Americans and renew jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed.
The White House has also been floating the possibility of including a temporary payroll tax holiday in any agreement as a way to help stimulate the economy, officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss recent developments.

Is there a way to get at all of a customer's orders on Shopify? For example:
At the moment there isn't a way to filter orders by customer through that endpoint.
You will need to get all orders and filter them by their contents, which includes the customer id.
If this needs to be done quickly, then you may need to store the orders in your database, and keep them in sync with webhooks. There is a Syncing with a Store page on the Shopify Wiki that explains how to do this.
Thanks, Dylan.
If possible, can we add that to the API wish list? It would be great to be able to get Order records filtered by

National League capsules
Rotation: RH Zack Greinke (10-14, 4.17 ERA with Kansas City), RH Yovani Gallardo (14-7, 3.84, 200 Ks), RH Shaun Marcum (13-8, 3.64 with Toronto), LH Randy Wolf (13-12, 4.17), LH Chris Narveson (12-9, 4.99).
Key Relievers: RH John Axford (8-2, 2.48 ERA, 24/27 saves), RH Takashi Saito (2-3, 2.83 in 56 games with Braves), RH Kameron Loe (3-5, 2.78), RH LaTroy Hawkins (0-3, 8.44 in 18 games before shoulder injury), LH Zach Braddock (1-2, 2.94), LH Manny Parra (3-10, 5.02 ERA in 42 games - 16 starts).
Hot Spots: Rotation, bullpen, injuries. The Brewers made two of the biggest offseason trades, acquiring Greinke and Marcum, but maybe there was too much hope, too soon. Greinke broke a rib playing basketball in the offseason and Marcum has been slowed by a stiff neck and shoulder. Greinke is expected to start on the DL and general manager Doug Melvin said he was again looking for pitching help, a familiar refrain for Brewers fans. Injuries to Hart (left oblique) and Lucroy (broken pinkie finger) put their opening-day availability in jeopardy, too. The bullpen is very young since Hoffman retired and the team parted ways with Coffey.
Outlook: Roenicke, who spent 11 years in the Angels organization, received upgrades in the starting rotation that predecessor Macha never did. But, there's not much depth behind the starting five and if Greinke's injury lingers, the Brewers' optimism could fade quickly. Weeks signed a new $38.5 million, four-year contract in the offseason, leaving all the core players outside of Fielder signed or under team control through at least 2012. Fielder and the Brewers are on the same page, too. He'll make $15.5 million this year before hitting free agency with agent Scott Boras. In between, the Brewers have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league and certainly enough firepower to keep things interesting in the NL Central, but injuries and questions about the defense may keep them from reaching the postseason again after their trip in 2008 snapped a 26-year drought.

I aided up the first pitch of the Window Route and then walked over to the upper pitches of "No Reply" (skipping the nailing first pitch of "no reply"). The flake pitch is quite sporty and fairly strenuous... I'd recommend leaving the large rack behind and just taking a draw for the fixed pin, a couple midsize cams, and some hand size stuff to build a belay.... Oh yeah, if you are used to having bolted belays on your tower climbs, expect a change. This route requires you to build your own anchors, so save some extra stuff when you get to the ledges. I think for most of the anchors I used hand size gear. I used #4's at the summit. You only need a few nuts for this thing. Plan on taking lots of cams from 1.5 through 3 (Friends)... like four or five each if you dont want to leap-frog.
Most of the summit rappel anchors, which seem to exist above most of the routes at one time, have been chopped... but a full sixty meter rap just south of the Window Route gets you down, barely.
I found two pieces at one of the belays. Name that belay and the pieces, and you can have them back!

Locks Gallery is pleased to present In the Garden (1980-83), an exhibition that reunites the acclaimed paintings from Jennifer Bartlett's early 1980s series. The works will be on view August 1 through September 26, 2014 with a reception on Friday, September 5th, from 5:30-7:30pm. A fully-illustrated catalog, with an essay by critic Gregory Volk, accompanies the works on view.
This exhibition coincides with Epic Systems, an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art (September 7, 2014 though February 22, 2015) that will unite Jennifer Bartlett's three career-spanning monumental enameled steel plate paintings: Rhapsody (1975-76), Song (2007), and Recitative (2009-10). This pairing of exhibitions represents how Bartlett's career has moved fluidly between Minimalism's coolness and a distinctly contemporary return to realism, always utilizing a systematic approach to the conceptual realization of each project. Both Rhapsody and In the Garden are simultaneously a pictorial world unto themselves and a foreshadowing roadmap of future projects in her career.
During and after her travels to a villa in Nice, France in 1979-80, Jennifer Bartlett embarked on an ambitious freehand drawing project of nearly 200 unique perspectives, experimenting with countless modes of representation of the villa's garden. After her well-celebrated gallery installations of the works on paper, Bartlett embarked on equally riveting paintings that experimented with serial perspectives of the same scene and psychologically charged re-imaginings of her surroundings.
Writer Gregory Volk notes: "The remarkable thing is how this exhaustive and systematic, yet extremely diverse anatomy of a banal backyard scene winds up so emotive and complicatedly human, suffused with longing and alienation, grace and agitation, loveliness and unease." Bartlett's In the Garden continues to reveal its true urgency through the artist's cinematic relationship to painting from photographs, the felt curiosity for pictorial representation, and dialogue with the many languages in painterly history.
This exhibition celebrates the full breadth and legacy of this four-year project, characteristic of the changing relationship to images in the 1980s. The publication notably brings together the works in the exhibit with pieces in museum collections, surveying the full range of drawings, prints, and major paintings.
Jennifer Losch Bartlett (b. Long Beach, CA, 1941) received her B.A. from Mills College, CA, and her B.F.A. (1964) and M.F.A. (1965) from Yale University, CT. Her works are in the collections of Baltimore Museum of Art, MD; Berkeley Art Museum, CA; Brooklyn Museum, NY; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH; Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, TX; Denver Art Museum, CO; de Young Museum, CA; Fogg Art Museum, MA; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; The Museum of Modern Art, NY; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, MO; North Carolina Museum of Art, NC; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, PA; Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA; Princeton Art Museum, NJ; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, VA; Walker Art Center, MN; Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT; and The Tate Gallery, London, England, among others.
Bartlett is the focus of a new exhibition Epic Systems: Three Monumental Paintings at the Cleveland Museum of Art through February 22, 2015. Her recent retrospective History of the Universe, curated by Klaus Ottman traveled to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, PA and Parrish Art Museum, NY, with an accompanying catalog. Other solo exhibitions have taken place at the Addison Gallery of American Art, MA; Walker Art Center, MN; The Brooklyn Museum, NY; The Tate Gallery, UK; Baltimore Art Museum, MD; and The Wadsworth Atheneum, CT.
This is Jennifer Bartlett's thirteenth solo exhibition at Locks Gallery.

Sam Sweet's hat trick helps Duxbury claim its 9th Div. 1 title with a 10-8 win over Needham
ALLSTON - Winning state championships never gets old for
. They also don't come too easy either. The mark of a great team is being able win all kinds of games, especially one in your opponent truly makes you work for it.
Sam Sweet
had a hat trick,
Will Siefert
had two goals and an assist and the top-seeded Dragons survived a fourth-quarter comeback attempt and held on for a 10-8 victory over No. 6
in the Div. 1 state final Wednesday night at Harvard Stadium.
"I can't even remember the first half. I think we were ahead, joked Duxbury coach
Chris Sweet
afterward. "We stuck to the gameplan, we did what got us here. Needham battled back in the second half and they made a game of it. They are athletic, they're well coached and they are scrappy. They don't give up. That's why the score was that close at the end."
It looked like a potential runaway as Duxbury (23-2) put together a 5-1 run from the end of the second quarter through the third and opened up a 10-4 lead. As he has been all year,
Henry Narlee
was dominant at the faceoff X and won all 11 draws in the first half and the Dragons were able to turn those possessions into goals.
Sweet got Duxbury rolling after a clutch save from
Henry Buonagurio
, who ran the ball near midfield himself, dished it to midfielder
Chris Williams
, who in turn fed Sweet for the transition goal. On the Dragons next possession, Siefert drew a double team from the Needham (16-6) defense and gave
Jon Gomer
a perfect dump-off pass for an open look at the cage,. Sweet capped the first quarter with his second tally, assisted by
Paul Hellar
, as the Dragons built a 3-0 advantage.
Needham sophomore
Mikey Panepinto
got his team on the board on its first possession of the second quarter, but got a quick response as Siefert fired a spinning, low shot through for Duxbury.
Nico Panepinto
, who turned in monster performance, scored the first of his four goals at 5:10, but
Seamus Connelly
came right back off a Narlee faceoff win for the Dragons. Nico Panepinto added a man up goal for the Rockets and
Paul Hellar
snapped in one in the final minute of the half for Duxbury, who took a 6-3 lead into the break.
The Dragons took control in the third, outscoring Needham by a 4-1 count on goals from Siefert, Sweet, Connelly and Williams, while limiting Needham to a lone Nico Panepinto snipe.
"We just had to work with what they gave us," Sam Sweet explained. "They came out in kind of a hybrid zone - almost half man, half zone - and they slide adjacent so we had to adjust to that,. Luckily I was at the end of some of those plays and was able to finish them. Quick ball movement was the key to it. "
From that point on, things got really interesting. Rather than pack it in on the big stage against the state's most dominant team, the Rockets instead dug in their heels and went to work on a comeback.
Mark Riley
got it started after a
James Caruso
faceoff win in the first minute, then Nico Panepinto made a strong drive for the crease through the defense and stuck in his fourth.
A cavalcade of penalties ensued after that score, leaving Needham with a five-on-three situation that they cashed in as Mikey Panepinto fed Caruso for a score at 7:13. Ninety seconds later, Riley took a shot from up top that was altered by a defender, but the ball went right to
Timmy Parlato
, who scooped the ground ball and scored to make it a 10-8 game with 5:53 remaining.
"This is a game that's all about momentum," said Needham coach
Dave Wainwright
. "We were able to capture some and we rode it well. On defense, we changed up three different times how to go after them and we figured out that we just had to go play some man to man and try and take the ball away. We were able to create some turnovers and pressure them and that gave us some opportunities."
The Dragons managed to regain their composure and the defense locked things down with a little help from a couple of highlight-reel saves by Buonagurio, and were able to close out the game for the championship.
Adding to the special moment was watching Chris and Sam Sweet pose together for pictures while holding the championship plaque. The father-son dichotomy can be a difficult ocean to navigate, but the Sweet's have handled the whole situation with nothing but grace and class.
"It's pretty cool. I wouldn't ask for it any other way," Sam Sweet described. "Kids don't always get to spend this much time with their Dad and I've been lucky for that. To do it like this and come out win all these games together, its really cool."
Added Chris Sweet, "I wouldn't trade it for anything. To be out here with Sam and to get to be with him every day on the field is a father's dream. It's been hard at times. I have to treat him like the rest of the guys. But as his father, Im extremely proud of him. I'm sad it's over but its time for him and his classmates to move on in life."
