Amber copper color with a thick off-white head with great retention and leaving laces. Light aroma of honey, bready malt and a hop citrusy. Flavor of grapefruits, pine, grass and American amber peppery yeast. Dry and bitter aftertaste. Light body with good carbonation. Good hoppy IPA that also has a touch of American Amber Ale.

While drinking and learning about the beer, I was somewhat surprised to learn that it exclusively uses Cascade and Centennial hops, due to the very continental European flavors that the "wet" versions of these hops produce. The beer itself is a hop forward American IPA, with slight hints of the malt character occasionally becoming apparent in the background. The dominant flavors are woodsy and spicy hop characters, with very resinous pine and more modest grapefruit character. The large bottle was easy to drink, and I was much more impressed with this beer than its southern counterpart. At a price point lower than many 22oz bottles (and for more than 22oz of expensive wet hopped beer), this is a value. Pours a very tall head of light beige foam, made up of small-sized bubbles, yielding a frothy appearance. Retention is excellent, with the foam lasting over three minutes in a slow decline to a thin cap of lace atop the body of the beer. Lacing is also excellent, with thick rings and complex webbing clinging to all sides of the glass. Body is a dark golden orange to brown color, with light bringing out brighter golden orange hues that have a slight yellow tint around the edges. Carbonation is visible through the somewhat hazy (20-30% opacity) body, low in number though fast in activity. Aroma of strongly woodsy and spicy hops with some toned-down pine, very resinous, and mild grapefruit. Flavor is moderately bitter, with fresh, woodsy and spicy hop flavors, very resinous, modest grapefruit and bitter orange. Mid-palate of moderately strong bitterness, pine, resinous oils, woodsy and spicy hop flavors with hints of grapefruit and orange and a notable caramel malt sweetness. Back of palate is where grapefruit and bitter orange become much more prominent, with medium intensity bitterness and background pine and hop spiciness and woodsiness. Aftertaste of long-lingering bitterness that isn't overly intense, but definitely in focus, with pine, woodsiness and spiciness atop a faintly sweet and grainy malt base. Beer is medium bodied, with carbonation of medium intensity, resulting in a softly foamy (3/4) and smooth (1/4) mouthfeel that fits the style and the beer quite well. Closes dry, with low stickiness clinging to the palate and lips.

A: Fantastic. Golden amber color with a tiny red-ish tint. Only the slightest amount of cloudiness. Aggressive pour into a 12 oz tall taster glass. 1 inch white head with excellent retention and very sticky lacing. I think this is the stickiest lacing I have ever seen. Its like glue on the side of the glass. Pillow-like head on edges with only a slight covering to the center. Lots of size variation in carbonation from tiny to quite large bubbles. Expectations are high. S: Great smell but not as strong as I was expecting. Pine, grapefruit, citrus, malt background barely distinguishable. Very subtle. T: Perfect. This beer is so balanced. The hops taste awesome. The malt is just right. The finish is very smooth and very bitter with a final bit of sweetness from the malt. I love the taste of this beer. M: Very smooth and creamy with the hops and carbonation giving it a little bit of bite. Absolutely no indication of alcohol. O: Wow. What an accidental score. I got this only because I scratched off the other ones on the board just because I had already had them or was not interested. Not only that but I got it at a discount. I hope they have some more left tomorrow cause I am going to kill this growler tonight. WOOOOHOOO! This is definitely a beer you want to get hold of if you can during the harvest season.

New farm to table concept officially opened on October 1st with presentation by Mayor Tomas Regalado
MIAMI, Oct. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BOX PARK is looking to change the way South Floridians look at food one bite at a time. Located on 1111 SW 1st Ave. Miami, FL. 33130, the new concept will officially opened its doors on October 1, 2013 at 7:00PM with a by-invitation "grand tasting" featuring a presentation by City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado.
There is always a driving force behind every new venture. For BOX PARK MIAMI, Santiago Rodriguez, who spent 15 years with the world-renowned Nobu Restaurant Group, knew he needed to shake the up Miami's culinary landscape by introducing farm fresh, locally-found foods that will not only tantalize taste buds, but question the quality of food we eat day-to-day.
Located in the heart of Brickell, the 76-seat restaurant (designed by acclaimed interior designer Valerie Pasquiou) showcases trendy yet understated decor. The central focus of the restaurant is the open-air kitchen where one will find Executive Chef Matt Hinckley who doesn't mind pushing the boundaries of people's perception of food. Hinckley stated: "I want to change the way people eat and to ask more questions about where their food comes from. I want people to slow down, spend some time at the dinner table, eat socially, share food, and know the farmers that grow it. When people are connected to their food it tastes better. The best tomato that you will ever eat is the tomato that you grew and nurtured in your own backyard or balcony. I let ingredients do all of the work. I have an intuition as to what flavors work well together and I let nature do the rest."
Executive Chef Matt Hinckley's true talents reside in creating unique dishes with fresh, seasonal, and locally-found foods. The menu offers a wonderland of flavors to include the Fried Alligator, three-month Aged Duck Confit with Sweet Potato Hash, Spiced Chickpea Stew, Seared Guinea Hen, and Grass-Fed Bone-In NY strip. Vegetarians will find a home at BOX PARK MIAMI as numerous composed meat-free dishes are featured like the Ancient Grain Salad, which is made with freekeh, quinoa, goji berries, beans, sprouts, and raw nuts.
All palates welcome for a unique journey in the world of gastronomy!
BOX PARK is now open from 12 Noon-11:00PM on Tuesdays-Thursdays and 12 Noon- 12 Midnight on Fridays and 6PM- 12 Midnight on Saturdays, and Brunch from noon to 6:00PM. Located at 1111 SW 1st Ave., Miami, Fla.

Oh, Robward...I heart you so.
Can't wait for November! :) - April 23, 2009 at 7:10 PM
New Moon's looking good, my excitement is slowly gaining on me.
And I may be less annoyed by Taylor now...maybe idk. - April 23, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Seriously, the way they edit these things is so ridiculous! Esp. the part where the interviewer asks Taylor what it was like for him to hear other actors' names up for his role. The camera cuts to their faces, the dramatic music, the look on her face like, "dum da dum dum DUM!!" SOooo cheesy.
A/L.A. - April 23, 2009 at 7:22 PM

Sqeeeeeeee...eeeeeOMFG, Rob looks SO HOT!!! Oh, those arms, looking good! He just continues to getter hotter and hotter every day!!

really? Really? So much hype to tell us nothing?
Rob looked mighty fine, tho.
Kstew very pretty
Mad Props to Taycob.. he is "doing his thing dawg" - April 23, 2009 at 7:27 PM
- Divinesally said...
Me either Melissa, I can't contain the excitement either Sara! I really don't like Taycob's hair in that half up half down do. Loose looks a million times better.
I can't help laugh out loud when Robward says Ed is wealthier. That laugh is contagious, man.
Thanks Goz! - April 23, 2009 at 7:27 PM
- Lynda said...
Yea, Taylor's looking alot hotter now, look at those muscles!! I'm getting to like him a little more, he's looking older.

ugh, just show us the interview already, without her comments! We don't have ADD!
- April 23, 2009 at 7:36 PM
wow Rob sure does seem to really "like" Jacob's character,"the love of his life"? sure as hell she wasn't or maybe he's just pretending Nessie never happened. lol
find his constant downplaying of Edward kinda annoying at times. - April 23, 2009 at 7:37 PM
- erin said...
LOL Tina! yeah, too much ff here too :)
- April 23, 2009 at 7:37 PM
- Divinesally said...
Ooooh Tina, do tell! I know the FF has me effin crazy.
Just saw this on ET. thank you to the TVgods for HD. - April 23, 2009 at 7:39 PM
- Divinesally said...
Anon~can't blame Rob for putting himself in Jacob's shoes. it's a messed up situation to be in. It would hurt to always be second best.
He was asked if his sister were to date one of them which would he choose for her, and he responded in favor of Edward cause he's wealthier. LOL. I cracked up, his laugh is just so adorable.
Even though I prefer Edward overall I think Jake truly loves her. He thinks she's the love of his life...that is, until Nessie is ripped out of Bells. - April 23, 2009 at 7:45 PM

So stoked for this movie! Seems so far away!

ET is on right now and the interviewer hugged him. I'm jealous...He said "he hoped the movie holds up to the hype,but he said that the last time"...
*Commercial Break*
Back now: We will get more RP. Taylor talks about that he is single(we don't care)...Rob saying the same comment we already heard "if he talks to a girl that must mean she is his girlfriend". Tomorrow ET will ask about Kris and his alleged relationship. THE END...They tricked us this is only a warm up for ratings. Those bitches... - April 23, 2009 at 7:53 PM

Re: "Rob's arms are looking great" - Gozde, sweetheart, can you name me one part of that man that DOESN'T look great??

YAY! Thanks Goz.

Now, I am anxious as hell to see the birthday scene...it's rather scary! Rob looks delicious....hellooo, biceps!
Thanks, Gozde....I wouldn't have seen it tonight with my schedule. - April 23, 2009 at 8:02 PM
- Tina said...
P.S. Hate Mary Hart. Would love to take her perky self and shove it up........
also, interviewer should do some research - IF you had a sister"????
Helloooo, sister x 2 - April 23, 2009 at 8:03 PM
- Divinesally said...
Shani they are BIOTCHES! Damn them for their stupid cheesy ass editing and promo tactics. That's dirty. I'm so pissed I'll be heading downtown for HTB when ET is on tomorrow. God dang it! $$@#&^@! Oh wait, Goz is the total shizz and will have it up for all of our viewing pleasure. **blows kisses to Goz**
- April 23, 2009 at 8:04 PM

Anon - She is trying to say that if he even talks to a girl, people think she is his girlfriend.
And he says,"That use to happen before, too" - April 23, 2009 at 8:04 PM
- Georgie said...
Thanks for the quick post Gozde - it's not on our TV's for another 5 hours. So there's more on ET tomorrow?? Way to string it out!! Awwwwwww she got a lovely hug from Rob right at the beginning.
- April 23, 2009 at 8:06 PM
- AJ said...
Thanks for putting those up on the blog, Goz.
I've got to say Bella and Jaydog have some chemistry in that clip. Taylor looks great. I have nothing against him, but Jacob doesn't do it for me.
Vamps: 1
Dogs: 0 - April 23, 2009 at 8:09 PM
- Kate said...
Thanks for putting this up Goz!!!
They're really just giving bits and pieces aren't they? It's like getting blood from a stone. I wish they'd just put the whole interview on instead of dragging it out for a few days! - April 23, 2009 at 8:10 PM
- Geekette said...
Thanks for this, I can remove it from my dvr. Ugh all that hype and most of what is shown was put into their ads for the show.
Rob is just too yummy for his own good.
Jacob's wig gives me the heebie jeebies - April 23, 2009 at 8:12 PM
- Lynnes said...
"She's trying to get over me, but it becomes an addiction." You've got that right!
- April 23, 2009 at 8:12 PM
- Sophia Z.86 said...
Two minutes to Robsess...
Apparently, Rob has a lot of "soulmates" in here and everywhere...
The movie is looking good already. And they still have the scenes in beautiful Montepulcino (got it right?) to shoot. I truly believe this one is going to be better than Twilight. Let's be honest, Twilight was not THAT good. Lots of flaws. CR was brave doing it and I thank her for chosing Rob. Rob was good. And hot. And yummi.
Yes, Goz, Rob's arms look great! Don't they always? And Taycob is looking good too. A little older and, surely, a talented and dedicated boy. Way to go, Bella!
Soph. - April 23, 2009 at 8:12 PM
- Mechevpao said...
I hate ET!! the way they edited it, can´t they show the interviews with out cutting bits here bits there, is not dramatic, it is annoying!!
Thanks for those links!!
Rob is looking gggrrrreeeeaaattt!!!
Made me giggle Rob´s laugh.. so cute! - April 23, 2009 at 8:16 PM
- Divinesally said...
AJ~LMAO, I agree. I give him props for beefing up for the role. But the vamps pull on my heart strings.
And I prefer using "Jaydog" rather than "Taycob." It's LOLtastic. - April 23, 2009 at 8:17 PM
- Tina said...
AJ - Go Vamps! Are you Adorkable AJ?
- April 23, 2009 at 8:18 PM
- RPaddict said...
Rob is just good at seeing all points of view he's not down playing Edward.
Besides Nessie doesn't exsist yet,he's concentrating on New Moon.
He's really honest in seeing that Edward is not perfect.(It's hard for those of us who love him.)
I can't wait for the movie, it's really looking good so far.Fingers crossed like Rob says,"I HOPE it lives up to the hype."
Taycob is doing a great job.I can't wait to see how Taylor pulls off our beloved Jacob.
Thanks Goz for getting the video so fast. - April 23, 2009 at 8:21 PM
- Ellie said...
Tina, AJ is EXTREMELY Adorkable!
We lurve her so...
Oh, and yeah, so is Rob (that is so a given). :) - April 23, 2009 at 8:22 PM
- RPaddict said...
AJ- Jaydog lol. good one.
Oh yeah, the Biceps, he's been hiding those babies from us. I was hoping they were still there.
He's so magnificent. - April 23, 2009 at 8:24 PM
For cryin' out loud, who CARES if Taylor is single? He's 17! OY!
Rob seems the same: laughing and hugging (lucky interviewer!) and speaking his own brand of understatement/overstatement. - April 23, 2009 at 8:25 PM
- DontStepIntoTheLight said...
rob was the best part of the whole show. duh, right?
i thought they were going to do more with it, though! like...all i really had to do was watch the commercials to get my fix... - April 23, 2009 at 8:26 PM
- Tina said...
Love , Love , Love AJ.
Great writer. Love to read her stuff.
Dr. Seuss...I died. - April 23, 2009 at 8:26 PM
- Tina said...
Chi - True re Taylor being 17. Isn't it the over 70 set that usually watch ET??
Guess they're trying to change that. ha ha - April 23, 2009 at 8:28 PM
didn't he once say he's team Jacob? and yeah he's putting Edward down a lot,of course the guy's not perfect but he's not a total manic depressive jerk either,from what I've seen Rob seems to rarely point out his good sides.
- April 23, 2009 at 8:37 PM
- KK said...
Taylor is so going to turn into a hot commodity after this!
Rob will continue to be a hot commodity...I hope that when and if the K/R rumors are addressed tomorrow night, SOME people (Casablunkhead and Co.) will finally back off of that story (but of course not...some will say that Summit controls ET as well).
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Rob looked great; Kristen did, too. Hell...they all looked beautiful. I'm starting to get really hyped for the flick. Oh and I agree that the hype leading up to these clips and the editing is a bunch of crap. Ah, the media...without them, we wouldn't get as much Rob, so I'll pay them some respect.
And....I'm out. Bye! - April 23, 2009 at 8:37 PM
- Divinesally said...
You guys, I'm having a "teen" moment with Rob...please pause the first vid on 1:26. Those lips, with a hint of saliva shining. Looks like he had recently licked his lips.
God, I'm so pitiful. - April 23, 2009 at 8:40 PM
- katykeene said...
Typical frickin'ET. Draw it out. Keep up the suspense then give us stuff we already know.
Rob.. is looking mighty fine though.
Kristen.. pretty.
Taylor.. who cares.. sorry to the Jacob fans but I never got the Jacob thing through the whole twilight series.
Thanks Goz we have a few more hours before it is even aired here. - April 23, 2009 at 8:44 PM
- Georgie said...
Taylor at 17 is still a growing boy, literally; besides packing on the pounds in muscle, he would've been trying for a growth spurt since Twilight. He looks taller in the promos; if not, they can always use special effects.
- April 23, 2009 at 8:47 PM
- DontStepIntoTheLight said...
i really a hate jacob in the books. you can see that he cares, but he's such a little bitch.
and i can't stand taylor's...image. he's very fake in the way that he speaks.
team edward, all the way. - April 23, 2009 at 8:49 PM

good statements KK, lovin the avatar. is that a .gif? I think I have that one. Who doesn't like some tongue action.

That editing was seriously annoying. If only they could have just given us the interviews straight without that woman talking over everything.
But say what, anything of Rob is better than nothing, and he was looking scrumptious! - April 23, 2009 at 8:54 PM
They are only whetting our appetite and it worked!
When I taste Gozde tidbits it begins a frenzy and it is almost impossible to stop!!!!
Why did he say he had ruined his life again, sigh, he makes my life! - April 23, 2009 at 9:08 PM
ET is stringing this out for sweeps, can't say that I blame them... I will watch anything with Rob in it, even if I have to cancel all other plans LOL
- April 23, 2009 at 9:14 PM
- Divinesally said...
He's self-deprecating even with his super alter persona. Well if you read "Dark High Noon" {wink} Edward loathes himself. It's quite dark and scary. I think it's fitting the way he speaks of himself..err, I mean Edward.
- April 23, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Hey, anon. I went out to dinner w/ my family and I was dying to see this. I have Rob fever! What is it about this man? Too many things to list!

anon @8:37.Your entitled to your interpritation. But I can't agree. Rob being honest about some of Edwards imperfections does not constitute "putting him down".
Regardless if he's team Jacob or Edward, he's put his all into the character that's what counts.No offense intended.
I'm just happy that Rob has brought Edward to life.Love them both. - April 23, 2009 at 9:27 PM
- WinWin said...
DS, honey have fun tomorrow night. hope you worked out with dh that you are taking your mom?
catch you later. - April 23, 2009 at 9:28 PM
i am too excited now for november. and they just named the director for the 3rd movie. Chris w. really is doing a great job especially keeping all of the press out. catherine let twilight get out of hand, just my opinion.

RPaddict - So true that Rob is not putting Edward down. I agree! He's just obviously really inside the character and has given Edward a tremendous amount of thought!

one more thing before i go.
the addiction just keeps getting worst. i don't know if my mind and body can take years of more rob hotness, cuteness, wittiness and dorkiness. someone help me stop the madness! - April 23, 2009 at 9:30 PM

HAHA - Did anyone else notice Rob's awkwardness when the interviewer hugged him? He is too adorkable :)
- April 23, 2009 at 9:37 PM
- Lynnes said...
Win~great article, thanks for sharing. That last line he's quoted on just makes me love him more. Is that possible?
- April 23, 2009 at 9:39 PM
- Lynnes said...
KK~Yes, like he didn't realize she was gonna hug him so it made it awkward. Can't say I blame her.
- April 23, 2009 at 9:41 PM
DS~ Have fun!!!!!!! jealous!
WW~I need help too. This is ridiculous. I am letting everything go to Robsess. Like I said it is like a frenzy has started and it is impossible to stop. I do not have an addictive personality! lol Maybe if I keep repeating!!
Hi, Kel and all Rob fangirls! - April 23, 2009 at 9:42 PM

Win - That was a good article!!! Everyone...read it!!
- April 23, 2009 at 9:46 PM
- Diane said...
ET can disappoint as much as they want, but as long as my DVR can grab a glimpse of Rob, it's worth it. When he said "She's trying to get over me, but it becomes an addiction," my entire family cracked up in unison, convinced he was talking about me. Well, we do have these conversations in my head, but not anything I'd want to share with the family.
- April 23, 2009 at 9:48 PM
- KK said...
Just read an article that says Rob denies any romantic involvement with K during the ET spot tomorrow night. She's still a cutie though! I like her independent streak, and she seems pretty together for 19. I was a total wreck at 19!
- April 23, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Win~ a great article! Makes me luv him more! He is so beyond his years! New term "exotically beautiful" and that he is! Thud!

Winwin- What a brilliant interview. Goz need to put this up. Rob finally speaks about Kristen and him being together. And I quote..."Er,no"he states,"T don't understand where that even comes from"...End Quote... *DONE and DEAD*
- April 23, 2009 at 10:19 PM
- DontStepIntoTheLight said...
oh yeah, i almost forgot!
winwin, i agree. great interview. - April 23, 2009 at 10:20 PM
- Divinesally said...
hey WW!! Thanks for the article it's great! Sorry it took me so long to respond. Was talking to the mom-in-law.
I'm taking mom to HTB tomorrow night and DH will have to get over it. I ordered the DVD so, he'll see it then.
I love this part of the article: 'how does he think the Twilight fans will react to his love scenes with Beltran? "I think girls" – at this point he can't stop himself from a smutty chortle – "almost really like watching something like that. From what I've read, people really get excited about that – it sounds really sexy!"'
Oh Rob anything that you're in gets us REALLY beyond excited.
A smutty chortle??? God bless James Mottram. lol. I can almost picture Rob doing that. Not gonna lie though, had to look that one word up. - April 23, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Emmes, WW and Kelly ROTFL!
oh please, "er, no"? hahahahahaha I guess all the googly eyes he gives Kristen is a figment of someone's imagination. - April 23, 2009 at 10:25 PM
- Shani said...
GOZ ALERT: Put up the interview that Winwin found...*STAT* Rob says straight up "NO" that him and Kris is not together. The rest of the interview is written with great clarity and respect. It's one of the best if not the best written interviews. Read it and put it up so that others are aware of what Rob is saying.Those who shall not be named have BS the fans for too long. Let the truth come to light from his own words...
And let the HOT WOMEN of Robsessed say Amen...LMAO - April 23, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Kudos to Emmes tutorial for guiding and making me the most awesome avatar! I'm ur BFF for life! Thanks for putting a big Rob smile on my face! {hugs}

- Georgie said...
Great article WinWin 9:26PM. I would have loved to hear his "smutty chortle".
- April 23, 2009 at 10:32 PM
- KK said...
Shani - DONE AND DEAD! I've actually read 3 articles now that are carrying the info about K/R. Can you believe that some people are still saying that until Rob actually says the words "Kristen and I are not dating," they won't believe it? When Rob says something...he is honest. That's all we've been saying all along. It isn't that we're all against K/R being together, it's just that we believe in Rob's honesty.
Apparently, tomorrow night he refers to the whole thing like this:
"It becomes a joke," the dreamy-eyed Brit tells Entertainment Tonight. "There was some magazine the other day about me and Kristen and when you look at it and realize it's on the front of a magazine... You realize that people are actually reading that even though how ridiculous it is. It's really bizarre." - April 23, 2009 at 10:36 PM
- Stacy said...
Rob looked ... UNF. As for his stance on Jacob, I think Rob really GETS the book, and empathizes with Jacob. Jacob is only 17, and is love is raw, immature and selfish, totally different from the love Edward has for her, but yet, Jacob truly loves her, and Rob is sympathetic to how much pain Jacob had to go thru ... yet he still calls him second best, so it's pretty clear he knows Edward is the best choice. Edward himself thinks that Jacob is the best choice, in some ways, and Rob getting that isn't putting Edward down, it's understanding the nuances of the book and characters.
I think this movie, from what I've seen, is gonna blow Twilight out of the water. CH changed too much, put her own quirky, weird spin on it and lost sight of the love story. The things we've seen already make it look like a better quality product (lol) and the bits of info we've gotten about scenes make it seem like they are staying a lot closer to the book.
And ET sucks, as usual! - April 23, 2009 at 10:36 PM
- Stacy said...
KK ... I hope ET actually shows Rob saying that whole statement about himself and Kristin. I don't think it will make people shut up about it, cause they want to sell magazines and get blog hits, but it would be nice to hear the whole thing without ET's crappy editing.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:37 PM
- KK said...
By the way, his comment about girls liking something like two guys together in Win's interview? I now believe he HAS read some of the Jasper/Edward FF. If he read some of the reviews, he knows that a lot of girls like it!!
- April 23, 2009 at 10:38 PM
- KK said...
Stacy - I totally agree! People are still going to believe what they want, but I'm sticking with Rob (and Kristen and the cast who've all denied it) as I have all along.
Now we can just totally focus 150% on Rob and his music, his acting, his sweetness...and he can keep his personal life to himself. - April 23, 2009 at 10:40 PM

Stacy, I concur.

Hi girls! Hate how ET edited this piece. They suck.
Anyway........what's going on here? - April 23, 2009 at 10:43 PM

Crazy - Just reveling in some truth!
- April 23, 2009 at 10:44 PM
- Stacy said...
KK- I agree. I'm glad he is coming out and denying it, and maybe it will eventually die down and the vultures with STFU and let them live their lives, cause it's ridiculous, and it DOES distract me from concentrating on all the goodness that is Rob!
Divinesally - thanks! - April 23, 2009 at 10:44 PM
- Danni said...
You are so Right. Ted C is saying that is not going to be a DENIAL tomorrow on ET. Saying "It's ridiculous" is not a denial for this gossiper!
He should have some dignity to admitt that he is wrong!But i hardly doubt it!!! - April 23, 2009 at 10:44 PM
- KK said...
Danni - Ted's getting mega-hits from all this b*llshit, and he's not going to stop now.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:45 PM
- crazy said...
Hi KK! about the magnificence that is Rob? or something stupid? ;)
- April 23, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Now, I'm not calling Rob a liar...just a denyer. A lot of celebrities deny stuff, that with time ends up being true. sorry, just saying.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:47 PM
- KK said...
The only thing it sounds like Rob is worried about is how his life might affect a non-famous person when/if he becomes involved with one. Don't blame him. She is going to have to be really strong.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:47 PM

Good evening BB Cakes. =)

You're right girl!
Ted has been ridiculous and he is the only one who didn't realize this yet!
I'm off ladies!!! - April 23, 2009 at 10:48 PM
- Stacy said...
Just read that article that Win posted, and that is really great. Rob is so much more then looks, ya know? He is very smart and perceptive, and seems really mature, especially for a 22 year old guy.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:49 PM

night Danni!
KK, I don't think I'd be able to handle it. I'm quite possessive. =/ - April 23, 2009 at 10:50 PM

Hey Pupida! did Rob say something about his personal life on this ET thingy? i must have missed it.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:50 PM
- Divinesally said...
nope they tricked us. tomorrow night supposedly.
- April 23, 2009 at 10:51 PM
- Stacy said...
Danni -
Ted is pathetic, and so is anyone else who believes him and follows his line of thinking. And you know, if it were true, he DOES have every right to deny it, cause it's nobody's business but his own.
I don't know why these gossip whores think they need to make celebrities lives public knowledge. - April 23, 2009 at 10:51 PM
- KK said...
Anon @ 10:47 I hear you, and I agree that celebrities deny stuff all the time. But at what point do we believe Rob who virtually all the people close to him have claimed is completely honest? I even love how Kristen says that every little detail of how the two of them out in public together is scrutinized, even the way she stands next to him. They all know the rumor mill that is circulating around and know about all the conspiracies and speculation. If R/K do become involved, I think they will feel very comfortable in revealing it. It's not like millions of fans wouldn't be ecstatic. Hell, I love them both myself!

Just for lol's: I have a Cardboard Edward (or Lifesize Edward, as I call him). My roommates had friends over the night. Mind you, some of those friends were guys and when my door is open, LE is in clear view. I decided to stick LE on my bed so that I could be saved from embarrassment. My roommate comes in to ask me something, looks over, and was like, "WHAT is Edward doing on your bed?!" Whoops ;)

That Independent interview is one of the best!! I would there to say it is even better than the GQ interview, I just wish it would have been longer. I like Rob description about Dali, one thing I noticed about him is that when he explains his character is very obvious he really got into the psychology of the character, which is probably why he performed as Art, Dali and even Edward so well.
Loved his comment about "girls" liking the man on man action, yeah it is sexy.. if it involves Rob.. hehehe… now I wander about the extent of things he reads about him in the internet, I don´t know if he got that from the fanfics that are out there or the comments we all make about reasons we have for wanting to watch LA so much.
And about gossip.. what if we stop caring about anything Ted C or lainey have to say about Rob or his private life?.. lets stat by not caring about whet Ted C has to say about Rob clarifying his relationship with Kristen, because we know that he is desperate to keep with the hits to his shit.

Definition (Encyclopedia of Global Warming)
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy from the Sun into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. The name carbohydrate literally means "carbon plus water," a vivid descriptive term for the sugar formed from combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with water. The process of photosynthesis begins with the absorption of photons by plant pigments. As photons reach a reaction center made up of chlorophylls, light energy excites electrons from the splitting of water molecules. A portion of the energy released by the energized electrons is used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is then used to produce carbohydrates from CO2 and water. In the process, water acts as the source of both electrons and oxygen gas. Photosynthesis produces food for all living organisms, directly or indirectly, in all ecosystems. In addition, it releases oxygen and utilizes CO2 and thus becomes an indispensable link in the carbon cycle.
Several pathways of photosynthesis are employed by different plants as a response to different climatic conditions, primarily temperature and water availability. In order to survive terrestrial environments, all land plants must cope with water deficits from time to time. When plants open their numerous microscopic pores, calledstomata, to admit CO2 for photosynthesis, they risk losing water through these openings by evaporation. Plants will thus at times close stomata in order to conserve...

Significance for Climate Change (Encyclopedia of Global Warming)
Both water and CO2 serve as essential raw materials in photosynthesis. Therefore, any climate change that affects the availability of either substance will affect photosynthesis. Given the various pathways different plants employ for photosynthesis, the same climate change will have different effects on different plants. Rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere would in theory increase the photosynthetic rates of all plants. This phenomenon is described as CO2 fertilization. However, the increase in photosynthesis from rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations is short-lived: The response decreases under long-term exposure, because plants acclimate to elevated CO2 concentrations through a process known as down regulation.
Plants' response to rising temperatures is complex, may be positive or negative, and is often compounded by other climatic factors. Moisture in the environment is particularly influential, as changes in temperature may correlate to changes in dew point and evaporation rate, significantly affecting the availability of water. Depending upon the degree of increase, warming temperatures may drive some plants out of their natural habitats, causing biodiversity declines or species extinction.
Carbon 3 plants tend to increase their photosynthetic rate as a result of CO2 fertilization to a point where the associated temperature increase may offset the positive effect of rising CO2. If the...

Photosynthesis (Encyclopedia of Science)
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain types of bacteria make carbohydrates, beginning only with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Carbohydrates are complex chemical compounds that occur widely in plants and that serve as an important food source for animals. Sugar, starch, and cellulose are among the most common carbohydrates. The energy needed to make photosynthesis possible comes from sunlight, which explains the term photo ("light") synthesis ("to make"). The absorption of sunlight in plants takes place in specific molecules known as chlorophyll (KLOR-uh-fill) that give plants their green color.
Photosynthesis can be represented by means of a simple chemical equation:
In this equation, C6H12O6 represents a simple sugar known as glucose. Molecules of glucose later combine with each other to form more complex carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose. The oxygen formed during photosynthesis is released to the air. It is because of this oxygen that animal life on Earth is possible.

Photosynthesis (Science Experiments)
How it works
Experiment 1 Photosynthesis: How does light affect plant growth?
Design Your Own Experiment
To get our food, we go to the supermarket, pick vegetables or fruit from our gardens, or cast a rod in our favorite fishing hole. A plant, however, makes its own food using sunlight as its major energy source in a process called . In fact, the term photosynthesisChemical process by which plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight to manufacture their own food by converting carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates, releasing oxygen as a by-product. means "putting together by light."
Shining the light on vegetables
In the eighteenth century, Jan Ingenhousz, a Dutch physician and plant , proved that sunlight was essential to the life activities of green plants. In 1779, he published experiments showing that plants have two respiratory cycles. At night, plants absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, just as animals do, but during the day the cycle is reversed. Another eighteenth-century scientist, Englishman Joseph Priestley, made similar discoveries about plant

Photosynthesis (World of Microbiology and Immunology)
Photosynthesis is the biological conversion of light energy into chemical energy. This occurs in green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria.
Much of the early knowledge of bacterial photosynthesis came from the work of Dutch-born microbiologist Cornelius van Neil (1897985). During his career at the Marine Research Station in Monterey, California, van Neil studied photosynthesis in anaerobic bacteria. Like higher plants, these bacteria manufacture carbohydrates during photosynthesis. But, unlike plants, they do not produce oxygen during the photosynthetic process. Furthermore, the bacteria use a compound called bacteriochlorophyll rather than chlorophyll as a photosynthetic pigment. Van Neil found that all species of photosynthetic bacteria require a compound that the bacteria can oxidize (i.e., remove an electron from). For example, the purple sulfur bacteria use hydrogen sulfide.
Since van Neil's time, the structure of the photosynthetic apparatus has been deduced. The study of photosynthesis is currently an active area of research in biology. Crystals of the photosynthetic reaction center from the anaerobic photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis were created in the 1980s by Hartmut Michel and Johann Deisenhofer, who then used x-ray crystallography to determine the three-dimensional structure of the photosynthetic protein. In 1988, the two scientists shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Robert Huber for this research.
Photosynthesis consists of two series of biochemical reactions, called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions use the light energy absorbed by chlorophyll to synthesize structurally unstable high-energy molecules. The dark reactions use these high-energy molecules to manufacture carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are stable structures that can be stored by plants and by bacteria. Although the dark reactions do not require light, they often occur in the light because they are dependent upon the light reactions. In higher plants and algae, the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis occur in chloroplasts, specialized chlorophyll-containing intracellular structures that are enclosed by double membranes.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, light energy excites photosynthetic pigments to higher energy levels and this energy is used to make two high energy compounds, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH ( nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). ATP and NADPH are consumed during the subsequent dark reactions in the synthesis of carbohydrates.
In algae, the light reactions occur on the so-called thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. The thylakoid membranes are inner membranes of the chloroplasts. These membranes are arranged like flattened sacs. The thylakoids are often stacked on top of one another, like a roll of coins. Such a stack is referred to as a granum. ATP can also be made by a special series of light reactions, referred to as cyclic photophosphorylation, which occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
Algae are capable of photosynthetic generation of energy. There are many different groups of photosynthetic algae. Like higher plants, they all have chlorophyll-a as a photosynthetic pigment, two photosystems (PS-I and PS-II), and the same overall chemical reactions for photosynthesis. Algae differ from higher plants in having different complements of additional chlorophylls. Chlorophyta and Euglenophyta have chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-b. Chrysophyta, Pyrrophyta, and Phaeophyta have chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-c. Rhodophyta have chlorophyll-a and chlorophyll-d. The different chlorophylls and other photosynthetic pigments allow algae to utilize different regions of the solar spectrum to drive photosynthesis.
A number of photosynthetic bacteria are known. One example are the bacteria of the genus Cyanobacteria. These bacteria were formerly called the blue-green algae and were once considered members of the plant kingdom. However, unlike the true algae, cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, in that their DNA is not sequestered within a nucleus. Like higher plants, they have chlorophyll-a as a photosynthetic pigment, two photosystems (PS-I and PS-II), and the same overall equation for photosynthesis (equation 1). Cyanobacteria differ from higher plants in that they have additional photosynthetic pigments, referred to as phycobilins. Phycobilins absorb different wavelengths of light than chlorophyll and thus increase the wavelength range, which can drive photosynthesis. Phycobilins are also present in the Rhodophyte algae, suggesting a possible evolutionary relationship between these two groups.
Cyanobacteria are the predominant photosynthetic organism in anaerobic fresh and marine water.
Another photosynthetic bacterial group is called cloroxybacteria. This group is represented by a single genus called Prochloron. Like higher plants, Prochloron has chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b, and carotenoids as photosynthetic pigments, two photosystems (PS-I and PS-II), and the same overall equation for photosynthesis. Prochloron is rather like a free-living chloroplast from a higher plant.
Another group of photosynthetic bacteria are known as the purple non-sulfur bacteria (e.g., Rhodospirillum rubrum. The bacteria contain bacteriochlorophyll a or b positioned on specialized membranes that are extensions of the cytoplasmic membrane.
Anaerobic photosynthetic bacteria is a group of bacteria that do not produce oxygen during photosynthesis and only photosynthesize in environments that are devoid of oxygen. These bacteria use carbon dioxide and a substrate such as hydrogen sulfide to make carbohydrates. They have bacteriochlorophylls and other photosynthetic pigments that are similar to the chlorophylls used by higher plants. But, in contrast to higher plants, algae and cyanobacteria, the anaerobic photosynthetic bacteria have just one photosystem that is similar to PS-I. These bacteria likely represent a very ancient photosynthetic microbe.
The final photosynthetic bacteria are in the genus Halobacterium. Halobacteria thrive in very salty environments, such as the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. Halobacteria are unique in that they perform photosynthesis without chlorophyll. Instead, their photosynthetic pigments are bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin. These pigments are similar to sensory rhodopsin, the pigment used by humans and other animals for vision. Bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin are embedded in the cell membranes of halobacteria and each pigment consists of retinal, a vitamin-A derivative, bound to a protein. Irradiation of these pigments causes a structural change in their retinal. This is referred to as photoisomerization. Retinal photoisomerization leads to the synthesis of ATP. Halobacteria have two additional rhodopsins, sensory rhodopsin-I and sensory rhodopsin-II. These compounds regulate phototaxis, the directional movement in response to light.

The Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Aid
Markus Löning
© picture-alliance/dpa
Protecting human rights and promoting universal respect for them is a cornerstone of German foreign policy. In the international arena the German Government's efforts are aimed not only at creating an international institutional and political framework for the protection of human rights but also – and most importantly – at protecting victims and potential victims of human rights abuses.
In practice this means that protecting human rights is a task which involves all areas of policy. It is in Germany's own best interest to help make universal respect for human rights a reality. For enduring peaceful relations require stability, and there can be no long-term stability unless basic human rights are respected.
This was the rationale for the establishment in November 1998 of the new post of Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Aid at the Federal Foreign Office. Since 1 April 2010 the post has been held by Markus Löning.
The Commissioner is contact point for all issues relating to human rights policy and humanitarian aid.
His brief includes following political developments in these areas and submitting proposals to the Federal Foreign Minister on German policy in this connection.
The Commissioner liaises closely with many other institutions active in the area of human rights and humanitarian aid.
These include:
- other ministries,
- the German Bundestag,
- parliamentary groups in the Bundestag,
- the Länder (federal states),
- the Humanitarian Aid Coordinating Committee,
- political and private foundations, and
- non-governmental organizations.
Strengthening international human rights protection
For human rights policy in the international arena to be successful, it is vital to maintain regular contact with EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN bodies concerned with human rights protection or humanitarian aid issues. The Commissioner devotes a great deal of time to such consultations as well as the meetings of the UN's Human Rights Council in Geneva, where he heads the German delegation.
Mobilizing civil society
More than any other policy area, human rights policy requires the active and ongoing participation of civil society. As an interface between government and civil society, the Commissioner takes part in the national and international debate on human rights issues and is also involved in the work of international bodies and institutions concerned with human rights protection.
Human rights protection in Germany
The Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Aid helps shape human rights policy in Germany's external relations. He is not responsible for investigating individual complaints relating to possible human rights violations in Germany or for issuing recommendations or censure in this connection. His role is not that of an ombudsperson.
Protection of individual human rights in Germany is in principle the responsibility of the courts. Under the German legal system, anyone who believes their rights have been violated is in principle entitled and obliged to take their case to court, as guaranteed by Article 19(4) of the Basic Law.
In addition to the courts, Germany has a whole range of government and non-government bodies and organizations working to protect human rights. Petitions committees and commissioners for citizens' affairs provide people with a contact point where they can lodge their complaints. Such contacts are usually referred to as "ombudspersons". Such ombudspersons also exist at European level.
Humanitarian aid
Unlike longer-term development cooperation, humanitarian aid focuses on providing immediate assistance and disaster relief with the aim of saving lives and alleviating human suffering. Our commitment to provide humanitarian aid is, like human rights advocacy, an important dimension of German foreign policy and reflects the affirmation of human dignity enshrined in our constitution. When people are suffering, nothing else matters.
Previous Commissioners

- Tom Koenigs (January 2005 – February 2006),
- Claudia Roth (March 2003 – October 2004) and

Recently moved from a lifetime of shooting recurve and long bows instinctively to shooting a Matthews Z7 Xtreme with all the bells and whistles.
I've been shooting ok. At 20 yards I am consistently hammering the bullseye. At 30, looser groups and one arrow out of five is not close. Same at 40.
Here is my question. I shoot right handed. I've noticed that when I naturally sight my bow that I cant my left arm, and the bow, slightly to the left. I only know this by looking at the level bubble on my sight. I turn my wrist and arm slightly to the right to center the bubble. This doesn't feel natural, and the time it takes to level everything affects my shooting--I have to hold at full draw longer, and lose my natural shooting rhythm.
When I shoot my traditional bows instinctively I will often cant the bow significantly and don't notice any difference in accuracy.
With my current set up, how important is it to have the bow "level"?

One of the other demands of stillhunting besides the necessity of moving slowly, when you move at all, is the ability to move quietly. To make this easier, the use of the right footwear is vital.
Unfortunately, 90% of the hunting boots made are NOT made for stillhunting, as they have soles that are usually of the Vibram/thick lug type. With these kind of soles it's virtually impossible to move through the woods quietly, as you cannot feel what you are stepping on, and the sounds of crunches and snaps accompany your every move.....not good.
What is needed is thin soled footwear, that enables you to feel the ground under you, so that if you feel that your about to step in a twig, that you can back off. This type of sole also enables you better feel the ground when you set the OUTER edge of your foot down first, so that you can slowly roll the rest of your foot down, thus minimizing the amount of ground contact your foot has at any one time......"quieter".
Some western and mountain hunters wear their regular heavy boots for climbing, and then slip those off and either make their final stalk in stocking feet or they may even carry a pair of moccasins. For most whitetail hunting this is not necessary, as you are not having to cover vast areas, and very little of it involves negotiating scree slopes and rock slides.
I personally use regular Converse "sneakers" (what we all used as kids before "running shoes" were invented), that are a size bigger, so that I can wear a couple pair of socks and a thinsulate bootie in when it gets colder. I can feel sticks and even marble sized rocks with these, and makes stepping quietly far easier. This is not my idea. I saw an old photo of Fred Bear who hunted in these, and they DO work! Another example of "low tech" carrying the day. I spray mine with a waterproofing agent that keeps dew off, but when it's truly wet and the temps start getting down in the 20's and low 30's then I go to a thinsulate lined Bean's Maine Hunting Shoe.
When you stillhunt your feet don't get as cold as when you are sitting, so you really don't need that heavy of a boot. Basically, I like to use footwear that's thin soled enough that if I did want to cover a lot of ground with I'd probably bruise the bottom of my foot. Yes.....THAT thin.
How about the rest of you?

Students entering Fairleigh Dickinson University this fall will have to take a portion of their coursework via the Internet if they hope to earn degrees. The recently announced prerequisite is a first for U.S. universities and has the potential to alter the higher education landscape.
The mandate brings with it a slew of training challenges, development needs, and finally, questions about the importance of student-teacher interaction. For example, when students are cut off from traditional college interactions, do they by default become more isolated? According to Michael Sperling, interim dean, the potential benefits far outweigh any such risk.
By using the Internet for some of its courses, the New Jersey-based university hopes to internationalize its approach to learning by drawing on a worldwide pool of professors. A renowned expert of Latin American literature based in Argentina, for example, can share his or her expertise with a group of students in New Jersey. "The Internet is a great resource for bridge-building in this way," says Sperling. "It doesn't have to be isolating or alienating." And the university's new mission statement—to provide a global education geared toward producing global citizens—reflects that belief.
Sperling also hopes that the university, with branches in Teaneck and Madison, N.J., as well as Tel Aviv, Israel, and Oxfordshire, England, will prepare students for entry into a workforce in which a premium is placed on technological skills. University officials see Internet technology as a fundamental tool for research and information organization—prime workplace skills for which a university provides training. With Internet capabilities becoming essential, students will need to maneuver, judge and filter through the medium in a sophisticated manner, according to Sperling.
The university is investing $5 million over a four-year period for the experiment, with the bulk of those dollars going to faculty training, system upgrades, and software development and design—most of which will come from Blackboard.com and EduPrize's instructional design templates. Students have access to text materials online, as well as through the traditional trek to the university bookstore. Professors post a syllabus, and online tests are essay-based to avoid any hackers with a penchant for cheating. Online class discussions take place on threaded bulletin boards, with one-to-one contact always available through phone, e-mail or traditional office hours.
Over the past four years, Fairleigh Dickinson has offered 35 optional online courses and currently requires one basic computer skills class. To fulfill the new prerequisite, students must take at least one Internet course per 32 credits, generally one course annually. Some 1,100 incoming freshmen will take the Basic Internet Research class this fall. In their sophomore through senior years, online choices will alternate between electives and a narrow range of core requirements.
The university's experiment with optional online courses has been well received by students and professors, with expectations high for the new prerequisite. So, what does that mean for training professionals today? Nothing, really. But those of tomorrow will find more and more employees weaned on Internet classwork—ready to learn from it and, perhaps, expect it within the infrastructure of job training. —D.B.

Q: I fill the gas tank every week during my lunch break. I took my co-worker with me last week and he said not to overfill the gas tank. I told him I can usually get another gallon in. He said this is not a good idea, but could not tell me why. Is this true and why?
A: This is very true. When you overfill the gas tank you take a chance of damaging the evap system in the vehicle, both cars and trucks. All late-model vehicles have a charcoal canister that can be damaged when the gas tank is overfilled. Remember, the gas will expand with heat.
