- The Millionaire Matchmaker Don Swayze is Not a Monster Season Premiere Dec 5 9/8c
Side boob, puppy wigs, Colin Cowie, port-a-potties, psychics, cigarettes... Welcome to the Zolciak-Biermann nuptials. Get excited, because Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding promises to be the wedding/show of the century. So in honor of this momentous occasion, I cordially invite you to join me every week as I reflect back on all the best wild, wigged out moments from the sassy chanteuse.
The Miracle Worker
A wedding normally takes a year to plan. Kim has two months. Why the quick turnaround you ask? So as not to miss the fortuitous date of new beginnings, 11/11/11. (And to Kim's credit, that date makes it pretty easy to remember your anniversary.) But what do you do when you need an over-the-top fabulous wedding in one-sixth of the amount of time required to create one?
The solution is simple -- bring in the big guns. Bring in Oprah's wedding planner, Colin Cowie. Is there any way to go wrong with an Oprah-approved expert? No. If anyone can throw together the "Motlanta" wedding of Kim and Kroy's dream, it's someone who's worked with Oprah.
Plus I knew he'd be perfect when he asked for a drink right off the bat. This is a match made in heaven.
I love Kim
This one goes out to Jimmy Pickles
I mean it's pretty good.
Very entertaining recap. Thanks!
mikesmall oh yea...very good!

Great blog!
no way!
I love KIM and thought the first two episodes were really entertaining. Great Choice on giving this belle her own show. Loved it and can't wait for next week
Loved the show last night!
I live in Missoula, Montana where Kroy played Football for the Montana Grizzlies...GO GRIZ! We cheered for Kroy then and we cheer for Kroy now.
I wanted to let Kim know that I am an event planner here in Missoula, and we do NOT eat antelope! YUCK! I have never eaten antelope or elk. We usually serve filet mignon at our weddings.
So if you guys come to visit Montana, you will find Missoula to be more to your liking. :)
Congratulations! ~ Melissa
Kim, Your show wasn't on fifteen minutes and you had to insult Nene, you are married now and have a family, grow up.
i wasn't sure about this show at first but I BLEEDIN' LOVE IT!!!!!!!! THAT'S the Kim we all know and have missed!! FUN FUN FUN!!!
I enjoyed the show. It was so good not to see over the top arguing and name calling. I love Kroy and the baby is so cute. It was good to see Kim with her real friends.
I love this show! Please, please, please tell me the name of the ombre maxi dress Kim wore when she met Colin Cowie. To die for!! : )
Love the show! It's good to see Kim out of the RHOA spotlight. Hope Bravo gives her an extended show like Bethenney got!
Wasn't sure I would enjoy a show just about Kim, but I have to admit that that I was cracking up pretty much the whole time. Her comment about the wedding dress & Motel 6. Hilarious!! Haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Will keep watching.
BIG congradulations to you and Kroy and your beautiful kids!! I loved watching you on the RealHousewives of Atlanta, but now you are fantastic, this man loves your kids and of coarse your girls also. He is genuine, honest, and he has a beautiful a**!!I saw the show for the first time yesterday, and now I am watching it again. I love seeing you so happy again, congradulations. I wish you and Kroy nothing but the best!! N your son is so handsome, I love to see him smile.You are a great woman and you deserve everything that is happening now!
I really enjoyed Kim's show with out all of the bickering! You go Kim! I hope you have another show after the wedding!
I LOVE this show. I watched it last night and LOVEd it, I love it more today. Kim, I wish you and Kroy and your three kids nothing but the best. You were always nice, but now you are more calmer, when I saw you with your baby, n he was trying to eat his sneakers and your scarf. You are absolutely wonderful with all three of your kids, n u and Kroy make such a beautiful couple. BEST WISHES ON YOUR WEDDING AND WITH THE NEW BABY ALSO!!! God Bless.
I didn think I would like this show but I love it! Kim's interaction with her children (except when she shoved Arianna in the pool) is wonderful and Kim is different than she is in the regular Housewives show. She's warmer. That baby KJ is sure a cutie and I like the opening scenes when Kim is speaking to him - very sweet.
I liked the show very much . It incourages me to be more into myself. Like, it's ok to be about yourself even if you have kids and a husband. Make life about you! :) Also I want some bedroom kandi;) And Im not feelN the Kathy show:/
If this is a show that our young girls watch then all I can say is, "What has America come to?" This bride to be is NO roll model.
I think Kim Zolciak is two-faced. She has talked about all of the ladies of Housewives of Atlanta even though she claims to be their friend. I don't like her.
KIm your the best, you never fail to crack me up. Your Hubby is the best as you well know too. Love the show we need some more KIM!!!!!! God bless your whole family.
I love Tardy for the Wedding show , so far so Amazingly awesome! Kim is the total package ! Anyone who cant like Kim and Kroy , well something is very bad wrong with them , they would just be jealous is all I know ! I LOVE her , she is an amazing Wife, Mom , daughter and Friend !! Kim just tells it like it is ... And she has that right too , I mean just look at her , she has great taste , she is gorgeous, she is the prettiest woman in the USA ... To all of you who dont have anything nice to say about her and her fam , well then just dont say anything at all .... Love ya Kim and Kroy !! Dawn - Jasper , Georgia
kim you look happy,don't get caughr up in all the drama,just be with your family, your litte man is so handsom

I hope this holds out as a major plot point in season 3. Because everything already up there, it's things I noticed as well. Stiles has broken in this episode. After two seasons of strength, of fighting, of doing everything despite his unwillingness… he gives up. He lies about it to his dad, to Scott, to everyone. He's desperate and despaired and angry when he watches Lydia and Jackson.
And I felt like every single conversation in that episode was foreshadowing. Warnings of things to come. A head's up. Clues to what is going to go down as Stiles' breakdown and buildup. First Gerard telling Stiles what he's being telling himself and trying not to believe, that he's useless, a weak human who can't even fight against an old man, worthless except as a body to be broken and bloodied as a threat against his best friend. Then his dad, who through all those good intentions, essentially tells Stiles that the only thing he's good at is lacrosse. It's not what Stiles wants to hear, because Stiles isn't a hero in his mind. He's just trying to survive.
The entire scene with Lydia was him shouting at himself. About himself, about his mother, about his father. Stiles is useless, but he can't die. He can't leave his father. He knows he's useless, a liability, only there to cause damage. But he knows he can't die, either, because it's not about him, it's about the people around him.
It's damaging. As (creepy) as his behaviour was toward Lydia, I think he knows he won't have her. The 15 year plan? It's him brushing off Scott. Again. When has Stiles actually said something like that truthfully and not as a deflection in the past five episodes? But it's another hit to his psyche. Lydia won't look at him, because Lydia has someone gorgeous. Someone she loves. Someone, who despite all his faults and arrogance and douchebag behaviour and murders under his belt (from Stiles' POV, remember, and he's as black-and-white as Derek sometimes), comes back as a blue-eyed werewolf. That's got to hurt, especially now that Peter's back as well.
But even though Stiles was somewhat in the background this episode, he's breaking.
He's been broken. He's given up and it's taken two episodes to reach. I need season 3 to reaffirm Stiles, I need him to form again.
The scary thing is, I think Stiles's hell isn't anywhere near over. You think he's breaking now? Well he's going to shatter in S3, and it's gonna be messy. We're starting to see the fractures in this finale, but he still managed to show up in the end, in the nick of time, if a bit late to the party. He's still got his bonds to Scott and Lydia and his dad, even if they're starting to get a bit frayed, overstretched, the other ends sounding more and more like strangers (I am with you on that lacrosse thing…you're talking a whole 'nother language here, Sheriff).
I'm convinced that S3 is going to test these bonds even further, see if the weight of his helplessness can make him crack. Because unlike hero!Scott, Stiles has shown before a somewhat callous attitude to those outside his circle (let Derek die, let Jackson die), though he's pulled through in the end. Because his heart, remember, slowed over the words "I. Don't. Want." as Peter held up his wrist. There's a part of Stiles that wanted that bite, and it's the same part that must be feeling the full force of his uselessness now. Scott can do all this shit and save his friends and save the day, but you know what? What's Stiles? Where's Stiles in this picture?
Where's Stiles?
Stiles can't be with these people. He can't be with his dad because of the werewolf thing, but he can't be with Scott and Jackson and the others either because of the human thing.
Stiles is the piece that doesn't fit. He's kept going for the sake of other people, but who's kept going for him? Who's kept watching out for Stiles? Who came for him, when he was being beaten in a torturer's basement? That's why I think that maneuver by Gerard to let him go was even more devious than it looks: because it was psychological torture. Because he didn't allow Stiles the comfort of seeing his friends come for him - only the shame of walking home alone with a broken face.
Funnily enough, after a whole season of watching Jackson and Lydia and Allison become omegas, you realize these people have remade their bonds. And now it's Stiles who's alone.

text: WASHINGTON, D.C. - Last night the Senate passed a resolution establishing March 25, 2007, as the National Medal of Honor Day. Senators Daniel K. Akaka (D-HI) and Larry Craig (R-ID) introduced the resolution, S.Con Res. 12, and it passed by unanimous consent. Twelve other member signed on as original sponsors of this important resolution: Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), Senator John Kerry (D-MA), Senator John Warner (R-VA), Senator Byron Dorgan (D-SD), Senator John Ensign (R-NV) Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Senator Jim Webb (D-VA), Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), Senator Sherrod Brown(D-OH),Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO). "I am very pleased to have been a part of the establishment of the National Medal of Honor Day. There are only 111 living recipients of this medal, three of whom are from Hawaii. All of the three are veterans of the United States Army. They are: Barney F. Hajiro, of Maui, Shizuya Hayashi, of Oahu, and my esteemed colleague and dear friend, Senator Daniel K. Inouye," stated Senator Akaka. The Medal of Honor is the highest distinction that can be bestowed upon a member of the Armed Forces. It is awarded by the President, in the name of Congress, to members of the Armed Forces who have distinguished themselves conspicuously with valor and gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. The date of March 25, 2007, was chosen since it coincides with the first awarding of the Medal on March 25, 1863. Since the Civil War, 3,443 medals have been awarded. -30- February 22, 2007

Egypt's northwest is contaminated with approximately 17 million landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from World War II — CAIRO, 21 April 2010 (IRIN) – The Egyptian authorities say they have cleared landmines from 13,100 hectares of desert at Alamein, about 400km northwest of Cairo, paving the way for agricultural and housing projects. Most mines were laid during World War II and the Arab-Israeli wars between 1948 and 1973, and have hampered plans to develop the desert, experts say. The government has been seeking international assistance to demine its deserts since the end of the 1990s, but there has been �scant interest from the international community�, according to Fathi el-Shazly, a former diplomat and the manager of Mine-Action, a local NGO. According to the 2009 Landmine Monitor report, no reliable figures for the extent of contamination exist, but a joint Egypt/UN Development Programme report in November 2006 referred to 2,680sqkm of contamination – almost four times the estimated contaminated area in Afghanistan. The Egyptian army has estimated that 16.7 million explosive items have still to be found. ae/at/cb |

Former Kenya Police Commissioner seemingly poisoned by agents
Posted by African Press International on April 27, 2010
Who spiked former Police Commissioner�s drink?
By Amos Kareithi
Wednesday July 30, 1997
A maroon Land Rover Discovery cruises out of the leafy compound, speeds over some bumps and joins Thika Road highway.
There are only two occupants in the sports utility car. It gobbles up miles like a monster, leaving heads turning. At the moment, it is goes at a speed of slightly more than 100 kilometers per hour.
The atmosphere inside the car is relaxed as the two elderly men converse with a familiarity bred and polished by 17 years of friendship.
The man behind the wheel is the chauffeur, while the boss is chuckling, relaxed and amused by the jokes he has heard on other occasions.
Former Police Commissioner Philip Kilonzo. |

"Where to boss?" the driver asks to which the reply is an instant, half-hearted reprimand. "All these years and you have never known the way home. I should have sacked you long ago."
"Boss, I have been pleading with you to do it and get an age mate but you have refused," came the reply.
Just after nearing Thika, Mr Patterson Tumbo branches off to Thika-Garissa Road and hits the acceleration pedal a little harder as the boss, Philip Mule Kilonzo mentally checks off a list of things he must attend to before the end of the day.
This is a road the two have taken on numerous occasions, and Tumbo does not need any directions or prodding as he nudges the car to move faster. Tumbo screeches to a halt inside a Caltex Petrol Station, quickly rushes to the back left to usher out his boss, who strides out like the Police Commissioner he once was.
Usual place
"Please lock the car and keep the shot gun in the usual place, under the mat. Make sure you get something to eat quickly because we are going back to Nairobi very soon. Do not delay," the former police chief says as he briskly heads to his popular place.
Mr Kilonzo�s destination is Station Bar, a circular structure within his petrol station. There are two other such bars but he likes this one, at the edge of the station, just next to the gate of yet another property.
Before he saunters in, he greets his watchman, Josphat Kamonyi, who has just reported for work.
The watchman acknowledges the greetings politely. He ambles away to stand to attention a few metres from the entrance until his boss enters.
Inside the bar, there is only one patron, Mwanzia, a manager with a beer manufacturing firm, sipping beer and watching the sun�s rays dancing away on the Yatta plains. He senses Kilonzo enter, turns and waves him to join him. The two men are friends and Kilonzo pulls a high bar stool opposite Mwanzia and shakes his hand at the same time.
Kilonzo does not need to raise his voice or state the command. From behind the counter, in a forest of crates and beer bottles, tall young man rushes to the former Police Commissioner and wipes the table.
The former police boss wants a beer and the man who is alone at this hour manning the bar goes to the counter and fishes a bottle of White Cap brand. The bottle is removed from a crate, which is isolated in a corner. This crate is a present from Kilonzo�s in-laws. He and only he alone can drink from this �reservoir�.
And his workers know this. The man, who also doubles as the cashier, opens the bottle and leaves his boss sipping it leisurely as he catches up on the local updates from Mwanzia.
The bottle is halfway down when Mwamba comes from across the fence behind Station Bar to greet his boss. Mwamba oversees the construction of Matuu Ndallas Hotel, Kilonzo�s pet project.
The project is one of the reasons why the former commissioner came home since he monitors the construction work closely. Since it commenced a few months ago, he has been coming almost daily.
Mwamba tells his boss a cow has been brought by his (Kilonzo�s) friend, Councillor Kilonzo Kathiru. The cow, of exotic breed, is supposed to be a gift since one of his daughters is getting married.
He leads the former police boss to the construction site office, where the cow has been temporarily kept.
Befitting gift
Here, Kilonzo eyes the heifer critically, before nodding that he found it a befitting gift and can be transported to his farm in Ndalani to join a bigger herd. He calls a driver to ferry the cow home in a lorry. However, there is a hitch. The driver discovers the lorry�s lights are faulty and he cannot navigate it in darkness. Kilonzo directs him to Dennis Auto Garage across the road.
The driver cautiously takes the lorry to the garage, with the heifer inside and meets the proprietor, Denis Katua, who has repaired the former commissioner�s vehicles for long.
Darkness fast approaches as Katua tinkers with the lorry�s lighting system until he resolves the problem. He releases the lorry and the cow is driven out of Matuu to Ndalani.
Back at Station Bar, drama is unfolding. Kilonzo returns to his seat in the bar to quench his thirst as he waits to eat the half-kilo meat he ordered to be prepared.
Without ceremony, he picks up the glass, lifts it to his mouth but stops midway. He sniffs it and declares it smells differently. His instincts and years of training tell him something is amiss. However, he delicately places the glass at his mouth and cautiously takes a sip, then a gulp. He has just committed a fatal mistake.
"This beer tastes differently. What have you done to it?" Kilonzo wonders, directing his gaze towards the counter but he falters, and then tumbles off his high stool.
Mwanzia and the bar man, who has now been joined by Anna, the waiter, popularly known as Malimba (so called because her home, a few kilometers from Matuu, has black cotton soil) rush to break Kilonzo�s fall but the big tall man drops to the ground with a thud.
A commotion ensues. There is pandemonium as Anna, screams.
Somebody else shouts for help, calling on Tumbo to come quickly. The chauffeur runs inside and is horrified by the scene. His boss is lying on the floor groaning and writhing. Kamonyi, who is about 10 feet from Station Bar, also darts in, attracted by the commotion.
Tumbo rushes out, hurriedly reverses the car near the door, which he quickly opens and dashes out to grab his boss. All this time, Kilonzo groans as somebody in numbing pain.
The one-kilometer journey to Matuu Nursing Home seems to take an eternity as Tumbo hurtles the Land Rover at breakneck speed and screeches at the entrance as the gates are opened.
Tumbo assisted by medical workers, hastily remove Kilonzo from his car and wheel him into the hospital and onto an examination table.
The atmosphere is electric with expectation as the medics examine the now motionless man and his workers wait for reassurance. A check of the pulse, followed by the breathing is all it takes for medics to utter the dreaded words.
The unthinkable has happened. The patient is declared dead on arrival. The world crumbles as Tumbo, a veteran of many battles, weeps openly. The family and workers too are overwhelmed and wail as an ominous cloud hangs over the rural town.
Word spreads quickly as bushfire and wailing starts shortly before 10pm. Matuu has lost one of its most illustrious sons and Kenya a vital personality, who knew some answers in one of the country�s most intriguing deaths � that of former Foreign Affairs Minister Robert Ouko.
A thick cloud of sorrow envelopes the town as police officers from the nearby station, which Kilonzo himself established when he was commissioner, are dispatched to ensure mourning is orderly and peaceful.

GLOBAL: When volcanic ash gets in your way
Posted by African Press International on April 27, 2010
An image of the ash plume (brown) from the Eyjafjallaj�kull volcano in Iceland captured by NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites on 19 April 2010 ———- JOHANNESBURG, 26 April 2010 (IRIN) – Iceland's Eyjafjallaj�kull volcano – unlike Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, the 20th century's second largest eruption – will not contribute to climate change; on the contrary, by grounding flights over Europe for almost a week it helped saved thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Eyjafjallaj�kull's volcanic ash has left behind a trail of derailed humanitarian aid missions, delayed handovers and cancelled workshops. "But the world did not come to a crashing end!" said Tom Sharman, ActionAid International's climate justice coordinator. "It has got me thinking of proposing that it might be a good idea to observe a 'No-fly day'!" Aircraft are responsible for up to four percent of the annual global harmful carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels near the earth's surface, according to the US government's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). When Mount Pinatubo erupted it killed 800 people and displaced several hundred thousand, and released an estimated 20 million tons of sulphur dioxide and ash, causing erratic weather that amounted to short-term climate change, according to researchers. "The major parameter that characterizes the ability of a particular volcanic eruption to affect the climate is the amount of SO2 [sulphur dioxide] injected in the stratosphere," said Georgiy Stenchikov, Professor of Environmental Science at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, one of the researchers who led research into Pinatubo's impact on climate. The SO2 is converted into sulphate aerosol – droplets of highly concentrated sulphuric acid – which has a "long lifetime and reflects solar radiation". Reduced solar radiation lowers temperatures and changes atmospheric circulation patterns, but the "Icelandic eruption emitted 5,000 times less SO2 than Pinatubo, so there will be no detectable climate effect", Stenchikov said.
Although Eyjafjallaj�kull's eruption was small compared to others in the past, it caused enough chaos to leave many thousands of travellers stranded, the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR)�said in a statement. The plumes of volcanic ash scuppered many trips, missions and assignments by aid agencies that will take weeks to sort out. Being stranded costs money However, if you are an aid worker employed by the UN or a government and are stranded in a European city with a high daily subsistence allowance (DSA), or per diem – Latin for "per day", often used to mean daily expenses or reimbursements – you might be grateful to those plumes, despite the inconvenience. The DSA in Europe can be as high as US$400 a day. Michel Tonneau, chief of the Movement Management division of the Geneva-based International Organization for Migration (IOM) acknowledged that mounting costs on account of high DSAs was a concern in such situations. Unlike the UN and government agencies, most NGOs reimburse claims rather than hand out a daily subsistence allowance and expect their employees to be conscientious about saving money, aid workers said. When unforeseen circumstances leave aid workers stuck in a place with a high per diem, they are usually asked to move to cheaper hotels or even bunk in with national staff, said Tonneau. ActionAid's Tom Sharman said the head of their Cambodian office was stuck in London and found relatives to stay with. Norbert Allale of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) was to fly from West Africa to the Haitian capital, Port-Au-Prince, to take charge as the Relief Coordinator of the organization's Haiti Earthquake Operation. "[His] flight was cancelled, he still doesn't know when he can get started – as you can imagine, quite a workload is awaiting him," said his colleague, Pablo Suarez. ActionAid's Sharman was due at the four-day World People's Conference on Climate Change in Bolivia on 19 April, but he not only missed the opportunity to interact with other NGOs after the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen in December 2009, he was also meant to bring funds to cover the daily expenses other ActionAid participants. "The other participants fortunately made it but were stuck without any money!" He found someone in Bolivia to help the participants with their costs, but was still trying to work out how to reimburse the benefactor. Greener options The tremendous backlogs will persist for some time, and grounded flights are forcing NGOs to use greener options, like teleconferences. IFRC's Marie-Jose Vervest was to have helped other NGO partners develop a community-based climate change adaptation project, to be implemented in Mali, West Africa. She provided her input via teleconferencing, but her colleague, Suarez, commented: "Of course, technology misbehaves, and so we will need to spend extra time coordinating with Malian colleagues to finalize our proposal." Sharman said, "In most of the countries we work in, the technology is not good enough for video-conferencing or teleconferencing, but that is the way to go – we hope it gets better and we will not need to fly!" Erwin van 't Land, the Paris-based International Communications Coordinator of M�decins Sans Fronti�res (MSF), the medical NGO, had a sobering thought amid the chaos: "Obviously, should there be a major new emergency it may be more complex than normally to bring staff and supplies to the victims in a timely manner." An early warning system and preparedness plan for volcanic risk would be a good idea the UN ISDR suggested, and called for closer interaction between decision-makers and the scientific community. Volcanologists are to meet from 31 May to 4 June in Tenerife, capital of the Canary Islands, to discuss the effect of volcanoes on megacities, and volcanic crisis management. jk/he |

Not getting enough shuteye can make kids wake up on the wrong side of the bed, with a day that's long on moodiness and short on cooperation and attention. But a new study shows that skimping on ZZZs can affect kids' health in an even more serious way - making it more likely they'll become overweight.
Researchers set out to see if there was a link between sleep - or lack thereof - and putting on too many pounds. So, they looked at 800 kids' sleep patterns - problems and how long they snoozed - as well as their body mass index (BMI, a calculation using height and weight to estimate a person's body fat) over time.
What they found:
On top of putting kids at risk for becoming overweight, lack of sleep can lead to irritability, hyperactivity, and extremes in behavior. Plus, too-little sleep can make a condition like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) even worse. All of that added behavioral baggage can set the stage for problems in school and tension at home.
Kids need different amounts of sleep as they grow to help both their brains and their bodies function at their best. For 6- to 9-year-olds, it's about 10 hours a night, whereas for 10- to 12-year-olds quickly approaching their teens, it's slightly less (a little more than 9 hours a night). Of course, you're the best judge of how much rest your child needs each day - some kids may need a little more than others.
To help make healthy amounts of shuteye a regular occurrence in your household:

MISL's first, chemical analysis microinstrument was the surface plasmon resonance immunosensor. It was demonstrated in 1993 with the detection of avidin-biotin binding at the surface of a thin gold metal surface in a saline environment. The microinstrument was a hybrid system utilizing a four substrate stack: two micromachined silicon layers, one glass micromachined layer and a laser drilled, alumina substrate. The stack was assembled and aligned using the keying of small glass beads and etched pits in each of the four substrates. Bonding was achieved using a low temperature curing polyimide and solder sealing. The micromachined silicon layers contained a torsional, all silicon micromirror and V-grooves for optical fiber and GRIN lens, and a position sensing photodiode (PSD). The silicon micromirror was electrostatically deflected through 9-10 degrees to direct the light beam emitted from the end of a fiber through a range of angles incident onto the metal film, setting up a surface plasmon. The position and intensity of the reflected beam was recorded with the position sensing photodiode, from which a surface plasmon reflectance curve, i.e. intensity versus angle of incidence, is obtained. Covalently attaching a ligand to the metal film produces a sensor sensitive to the complexing analyte, i.e. antibody/antigen conjugates or avidin/biotin for example. Specific absorption of the analyte to the surface alters the complex dielectric of the interface and shifts the plasmon resonance angle which is quantitatively measured by the PSD. |
Photograph of an assembled surface plasmon resonance microsensor. Sensor is shown in plan view with optical fiber entering on the left. The fiber immediately addresses a cylindrical GRIN lens which collimates the optical beam and directs it towards the silicon torsional mirror. Mirror tethers are shown on either side of the mirror, top and bottom. The beam then reflects off the top metal film where it interacts with the analyte, and then back down to the PSD where the intensity and position of the beam is simultaneously recorded. Exclusive of drive electronics, DAC and laser, the microsystem measured approximately 1 x 2 x 0.2 cm. |

I'll try to not knock it for any age related issues. Still an attractive beer. Nice tan head. Cloudy amber browns, pale red body. Sticky dripping lacing Nice caramel with some smoke, but not excessive. Some oxidation (I at least need to note it). But nice bock aroma's. Pretty big mouthfeel. Sticky and chewy in a nice lager like way. Good balance of flavors with the bock clearly there and a forthright but not excessive smoke stream. Very rich beer, it will be a little tough to drink the whole thing alone without something to eat to help cut it a bit. Gets all sticky on my teeth. Enjoyable. Probably best with food. Thanks brother.

Peaty aftertaste. Kind of off-putting. D: Sipping experience. Mine was, it was decent enough, but a 12 ounce serving would have been plenty. Atmosphere is okay. Nice foamy head, but no real lacing. Nose is roasty and bacony. Malt grains, smoked in peat, balanced with bitter and some odd sweetness. Overall, this is an okay quaff. Serving type: bottle 11-04-2013 03:39:36 | More by bmwats |
