Reviewed from notes, thanks to my cousin for the bottle.
A- Ruby red pour into a pint glass with a huge head. The cap is off-white and retains at a finger in size for the whole time. Tons of thick lacing in patches around the glass.
S- Sweet and hoppy aroma. Notes of sugar, pine, herbal tea, floral and caramel. Seems laid back.
T- Dark fruit like cherries and raisin with a lot of table sugar- like sweetness. Hops are moderate and high for an old ale. Herbal, floral, pine and citrus hints. Feels cloying at times.
MF- Creamy moderately thick body with a sweet slick feel. Some alcohol warmth and bitterness but a lot of sweets. Medium carbonation level.
Cigar City just seems to brew really sweet beer like DFH. Good flavor but sweets take over.

From 750mL bottle to Portsmouth glass on 3/10/12
*From notes
Vintage 2010
A: A dumbass pour yields a four+ finger head that takes forever to fade. As it settles, it's a dark, unfiltered cider color.
S: Sweet cornbread and a bit of toasted malt.
T: Much better then I could have hoped for. It's sweet and malty. Really delicious, all things considered. As it warms, the flavors meld beautifully, as the malts and a touch of raisin come to the surface. Still a bit hot to boot.
M: Perfect for cold(er) weather. Thick and creamy - this would certainly keep me warm on a cold winter's night.
O: What a great little beer. CCB's Warmer Winter was the surprise hit of the night. One I look forward to returning to in the future, and if this ever hits a bourbon barrel, the line forms behind me.

Thanks to cbutova for sharing this one, this was the most recent vintage and listed as 11%.
Pours a hazy dark red, big ol beige head sticks around quite well and leaves some lacing.
Straight up dark fruits in the scent, big red grape and raisins specifically. Good strength but a little average.
Taste is an improvement, more complexity. Lots of dark fruit, caramel and toffee. Pretty decent hop power; resin, citrus and some grapefruit noticeable, a little heavy-handed with the sweet malts though.
Good mouthfeel, very sweet but 11% is well-hidden, drinks smooth.
Not bad but a little forgettable... sweetness drags it down a bit which I've noticed often with Cigar City.

750ml bottle in Duvel tulip
2011/2012 edition
A: A very dark caramel almost brown color. A huge head driven by the somewhat excessive carbonation. The initial gentle pour led to a 5-6 finger head that took forever to drop, when it did it left a large amount of lace behind.
S: A hoppy sharpness along with a huge amount of brown sugar sweetness.
T: Loads of caramel malts and brown sugar backed up with a lot of citrus-y american hops. As it warms, there is a fruitiness that I can't determine, is it yeast driven or malt driven, I suspect that it is a combination of the two. Lots of dark fruits coated in sugar along with candied orange and grapefruit. Surprisingly, there is no sign of the 11% alcohol, no heat at all.
M: Rich, creamy mouthfeel somewhat balanced by a ton of (too much?) carbonation. Very tongue coating from the combination of oily hops and a lot of low attenuation of malts.
O: I thought I was going to nurse on the whole bottle in one sitting, basically take a couple of hours and enjoy the bottle, but it is way too heavy and cloying. Half the bottle is plenty. A very good beer, I am glad I tried it, but I am not sure I would buy the next iteration. I would like a little more attenuation and a little less carbonation. It is just a little too rich/sweet, but it is a great sipping/desert beer.

I split this three ways with my brother and JC -enjoyed from a mug chilled and allowed to gradually warm.
The color is very murky orange-ish brown with a thick cream cap that holds and lasts, not very attractive although it fits the style. The smell is fragrant with floral and citrus and some mild toffee notes with leather and slight woody herbal notes from the hops with nice sweet malt and light fruit from the yeast, hardly any alcohol. The feel is thick, viscous and sweet unrelenting really with a mild bitterness and mellow spice with slight hint of alcohol near cellar temp.
The flavor is nice with some citrus from the hops and slight caramel body with a gentle creamines from the yeast with hint of spice and toffee as mentioned in the descriptors from the label. The flavor gets a little more earthy and woody as it goes on and the alcohol comes forward, rich and almost meaty with a hint of raisin. The drinkability is good for an 11% beer, not sure I would rush to get this again, but if available I wouldn't hesitate. I think it is a solid brew and like that it doesn't show its strength all that much.

Vintage 2011 (11%) dated December 2011 shared with my roommate.
Appearance: Most insane head I've ever seen…almost the whole glass and it overflowed. Foam started pouring out of the bottle when I put it down. Thought it was infected, but if you read the other reviews on here, you'll see the same thing happened to a lot of others.
Smell: Smells of malts, alcohol, plums and figs.
Taste - Tastes the same but with less alcohol burn. Just a nice warm feeling and very sweet. Some hops but not really…almost too sweet (don't think I could drink more than a pint of this) but very good.
Mouthfeel: Thick and creamy.
Overall: I was worried when I saw the reviews for this and paid $11 for the bottle but it was a good beer. My first "Old Ale" and it didn't disappoint.

Let me start by saying that any beer that i drain pour gets the lowest score possible.
Received as a extra in a trade.
I love Old Ales/Barley wines so i was excited to try this one.
Pour was fine nice amber look nice two finger off white head.
Smell like syrup super sweet no hops of any kind detected.
Taste like took a big mouth full of malt extract. If you took a barley wine poured it in a glass and mixed in 4 table spoons of sugar you would end up with this beer.
I drank one glass and had to drain pour the rest.

A thick, cloudy dark mahogany brew with a goodly, stubborn oatmeal colored head and solid lacing. The aroma says brown bread and sweet pine hop and medicinal malt. Oatmeal chocolate nuances, thick and chewy and real high on the olfactory scale. Wow. Immediately followed by another, wow! The flavor just overwhelms the mouth with thick herbal hops and deep dark cereal grain, almost a barleywine deal. Just a lush mix of heavy malt and evergreen with a delicious tart hop bite. The body is full but not gagging, and tiny carbonation makes for a silky feel that caps off a near perfect winter brew. Cigar City maintains its incredible record of awesome brewing!

Cigar City Warmer Winter, bottle bought at New Beer in NYC for $11.75 plus tax. "Brewed for the 2011-2012 Florida Winter".
Appearance: I cracked open the bottle and it literally exploded on me. Loads and loads of foam coming out, unstoppable. I lost a good half beer there! Just for that, rating goes down...
But once it settles down it looks fine, like a Belgian dark ale with a huge fist of a head, outrageous carbonation and the darkest color this side of Africa. Beautiful, thick lacing as well and great retention. That head lasts forever!
Smell: Lotsa sweetness, brown sugar, honeycomb and the customary dark fruit (raisin, prune juice).
Taste: Sweetness and more sweetness! Geez... if you don't like sweet beers, forget about this. It is like a barleywine dipped in simple syrup, then rolled on brown sugar and finished with honey. Those "citrusy hops" they mention in the label, including Simcoe, Centennial and Columbus? They're barely there, overwhelmed by the sweetness. Only at the very end do they come through, as a stingy clover-like feel.
Mouthfeel: Full body and medium flavor. Huge carbonation of course, a bit too much indeed. Otherwise well balanced and quite pleasurable to drink. Not dry at all, which I appreciate.
Overall: The carbonation issue is annoying, and the extreme sweetness in the taste is slightly off-putting. Not a bad beer at all, though- it drinks remarkably well for being 11%.

Poured into snifter. Bottled in 2010.
Appearance: It has a dark, reddish brown color with tremendous off-white head.
Smell: Kind of a funky smell. Sweet at the same time. Fruity. Too funky though.
Taste: Awful sweet taste that overwhelms my palette. Caramel apples, caramel plums, toffee. Too sweet.
Mouthfeel: Very thick. Lightly carbonated.
Overall: Definitely not my favorite old ale. Much better ones out there. This way too sweet for me.

Thanks to Special K for bringing this up from Tampa!
A: Deep dark copper color, intense off tan dense head that kept it through the entire glass, incredible
S: medium nose, roasted malt, caramel
T: deep dark roasted malt, sweeter but not cloying, slightly bitter finish - didn't taste pine/citrus as described
M: very thick in mouthfeel, not well-attenuated, definitely on the sweeter side
O: average, too sweet, almost like chocolate pudding in taste, needs considerable more bittering hops
This won't age well.

Appearance: 25.4oz bottle poured into a snifter. Colour is a dark, opaque brown. Enormous head fades with a little bit of retention.
Smell: Aromas are very sweet. I get some plums and raisins as well as dark sugars; brown sugar and perhaps molasses. A nice amount of balanced malt finishes up the smell.
Taste: Wow, so many layers and flavours here. It's almost too much. Starts out cloyingly sweet with the dark sugars and fruits. A sweet bitterness works its way through everything and finally that dark sweetness returns.
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied with a nice hint of carbonation. Very silky, sticky, and chewy.
Overall: What a complex beer. So many layers, so many flavours, it's quite an impressive brew. The only thing I don't really enjoy is the immense amount of sweetness.

This has a bit over a year on it. This beer pours with a big billowing head that recedes to about a cm, leaving some nice lacing. The liquid is a very dark molasses color and is pretty opaque. Aroma is big toffee and caramel with a bit of residual tropical fruityness, and dark fruit. The flavor is similar, but is verging on being too sweet. Caramel candy overtakes some of the toffee flavors. The tropical fruit comes through more clearly in the flavor along with the prune, dark fruit notes. As it warms, it takes on a bit of a Robitussin type taste, but not really in a bad way. Interesting. Mouthfeel is nice and full with pleasant carbonation. Not too hot, very nice and warming and very smooth as well. Very enjoyable beer and if some of the sweetness could be a bit less, and the toffee, a bit more, this would have been more enjoyable for me.

Poured into a tulip glass from a 750ml bottle.
Beautiful looking mildly aggressive pour leads to a nice hazy and murky mahogany color with a nice copper hue on the edges. The head is huge with 2 inches of billowing dense cream colored foam. Brew looks delicious.
Already from the pour I could pick up on some of the resinous and slightly citrus hops. Upon close inspection there is some nice caramel malt sweetness up front with some nice toffee. There is some fruity sweetness in there as well with some nice pear and apple. There is some tropical fruit notes in there as well with some papaya and some mango mixed in with some nice toffee and butterscotch.
Flavor is very interesting and complex. Starts off with some fruity sweetness that is very nice and not too overwhelming. There are some apple and pear notes as well as some mango. Then there is some nice caramel and toffee notes in there. Underlying this sweetness is an interesting and delicious citrus background that give s the beer an interesting dimension. There is also some nice slight boozy heat but nothing too intense. The blend between the sweetness and malt notes and the slight underlying hops is very interesting and complex. Very well crafted and creative take on the Old Ale style. Very nice smooth fell with some slight oily notes but also a nice hop dryness on the back end. Nice and medium-full bodied.
This brew is delicious. Very nice balance of malt sweetness with the hop notes. This beer is creative and well crafted. Nice touch on a classic style.

Cold winter day deserves a Winter warmer!
Very carbonated, almost too much. Muddy, murky brown, like a barleywine (basically like the label says). Very thick and frothy head. Off-white.
Very sweet smelling, plums, dried fruits, and brown sugar. Hints of dried grains, and hop bitterness.
Very complex, sweet and dry at the same time. Its almost bordering on too sweet, like a Dubbel. Sweetened dark cherries, hints of oranges. For its stature, it sits light, and feels like cherry syrup. a dry woody oak is felt upon exhale. I can see why this isnt a winter warmer anymore. i might categorize it more as a barleywine, but were just speaking semantics now.

750ml bottle poured into my Dogfish snifter. It poured a murky, dark caramel color with a frothy tan head covering the top of the beer and sticking to the edges of the glass.
The aroma has a big malty presence to it with caramel, toffee and some sweeter dark fruits leading the way. A good amount of hoppiness is noticeable in it as well with some resiny, citrus rind like qualities. Pretty appealing aroma overall.
The taste also shows a very nice balance of malty and hoppy. I get more of the caramel, toffee and dark fruit sweetness to it at first while the bitter, citrus rind like hoppiness lingers more into the finish.
The mouthfeel is on the heavier side with carbonation being moderate. Overall it was a very good beer all around. They really brought all the flavors together very well in it. Very flavorful and enjoyable to sip on this afternoon.

M: Medium high carbonation, medium full body.
Pretty good, fairly rich. Would've been easier to finish with a friend.

Pours a deep ruby brown with a big frothy tan head that falls all so slowly and laces very well.
Aroma is big on toffee malts lots of free floating brown sugars and good supply of dark fruits.
Taste is wow lots of sugary malts with big toffee notes. Dark fruit notes lots of figs upfront. Lots of caramel and toffee notes almost to the point of cloying but not quite.
Mouthfeel is big nice body smooth and creamy with level carbonation.
Overall very nice big sugary malty brew with lots of dark fruit notes. Very enjoyable.

Thanks to jtd1969 for bringing this back from Florida.
When I cracked the top on this foam came billowing out of the top of the bottle. It poured a dark brown with a quarter inch of loose, foamy brown head that had decent retention. The nose heavy dark fruit with some notes of barley and candy. The flavor is bready, heavy barley malt up front followed by caramel and dark fruit and finishes with an overwhelming candy sugar sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied and a little syrupy but smooth and lightly carbonated.
I really wanted to like this beer. It seemed like all the right elements were there but they didn't all mesh. This one loses a lot of points because of how sweet it was. I had a hard time finishing a glass of it let alone the entire bottle. I'm glad I shared it. This is just way too sweet and candy-like for me to want again.

Poured from a 750ml bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint. 2011 vintage.
This brew pours a muddy red-brown with a huge head that retains very well. The aroma is an interesting mix of toffeed caramel malts and fruits holding hands with a fairly strong hoppy aroma. The taste is syrupy sweet at first, with a really strong fruit offering. It doesn't stay like that for too long though, with a fairly strong hoppiness on the backend to help balance out the sweetness. It's still just a bit too sweet for me though. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated and quite coating, it sticks around for a while. The drinkability is about average for such a big beer. Overall, this isn't really my favourite CCB beer, which is saying a lot for their quality, at this is still quite a good beer.

2010 bottle poured into my CBS snifter. Split four ways.
Appearance - Deep mahogany body with a gigantic head. My quarter of the bottle overflowed my glass, if that gives you an idea. My first worry was infection, but that fear was quickly allayed.
Smell - Metallic. A bit oxidized, perhaps? Toffee and a hint of hops. It's tough to pull other flavors through the tin foil aroma, though.
Taste - No metal in the taste, thankfully. Extremely sweet. Syrupy sweet. Caramel and toffee flavors first, followed by some earthy hops, but faint. A hint of some lighter fruit flavors, but also faint.
Mouthfeel - Thick and heavy. Too sweet. I could never drink a whole bottle. Decent carbonation, which serves to lighten it, but still a diabetes bomb.
Overall - Too sweet to be all that good. The flavors are there, but some more fermentation would do this some good. A drier, earthier, less-sweet version of this could be quite good.

750ml bottle into NB snifter. Reviewed from notes. 2010 bottle I think.
A: Pours near black with just a stupid amount of billowing foamy tan head that took forever to fade into a very dense film. This is one over carbonated beast. Great head retention and lace though.
S: Sweet notes of candied fruits, raisins, caramel, booze, and more fruit – tropical fruit even. Very fruit forward.
T: Again, very sweet, but with tons of leather and tobacco that I wasn't expecting. The fruit notes from the nose are right there followed by brown sugar, light milk chocolate, vinous flavors, some spices and some wood. The sweetness is almost cloying, and the aftertaste coats my mouth with tobacco flavors that lasts forever.
M: Very very carbonated but it's soft at least. The mouthfeel is boozy but smooth and slick, and the body is thick and full.
O: Much sweeter than expected and very full and boozy. A great drink though, glad to have tried it.

Poured from a 750 mL botltle into an oversized wine glass. Shared this 2010 bottle with my pops on Christmas. Thanks to hoppy99 for sending me this bottle oh so long ago.
Appearance: There is an enthusiastic 'pop' as I open the bottle, and a lot of dark tan foam flows out of the bottle even with a gentle pour, rising and nearly overflowing the glass. When it settles down, the head is fairly frothy and leaves thick lace down the glass. The beer itself is a dark chocolate brown with a slightly lighter edge.
Smell: Caramel and toffee control the mostly sweet aroma. Toasted bread, raisins, plums, figs, and a general spiciness provide support.
Taste: The flavor is cloyingly sweet throughout the entire sip. The label says "caramelized toffee," and that seems to be an accurate description of the first flavor across my lips. A bit of milk chocolate adds to a chewy bread malt. Rum raisin, sugary plums, sweet figs and dates all add to a very sweet flavor. Nutmeg, cinnamon, and a bit of all spice are somewhat ensconced behind the thick, chewy, sweetness. The finish has a bit of brown sugar.
Mouthfeel: Chewy and syrupy sweet throughout the glass. At first, the carbonation bubbles and fizzes unpleasantly, but this subsides as I let it warm. A bit of spice creates a tingle on the tongue. The alcohol, although not noticeable in the flavor, accentuates this effect and creates a light bourbon-like burn in the back of my throat. Full bodied and full carbonation.
Overall: This beer fresh is supposed to have some spicy pine and citrus hops, which might give it a little zip and cut through the sweetness. With a year on it, though, it is a bit too sweet for me.

750ml bottle into a tulip. No vintage date, but has 10%ABV listed.
A- Huge explosion off the cap...surprised it stayed on this long. Pours a deep brown opaque color. Huge amount of head on the (gentile) pour. Has a khaki colored, tight bubbled head. Leaves some nice lacing though. Looks really nice, but I'm worried about the huge head.
S- Holy hell this is one sweet beer. Smells like double-sugar coated and candied fruits. Maybe something like a peach and apple mixture? Almost like fresh apple juice mixed with fresh brewed tea. I get a bit of grassy hops in there as well. Strange smell, but slightly enticing.
T- Wow this is insanely sweet. Again, up front this tastes like fresh brewed tea with a ton of honey and sugar dumped in. Towards the finish there is still a ton of (literal) sugary sweetness mixed in with some apple, plum, and raisin. Finishes with a bit of a chocolate roasted malt character. Borderline cloyingly sweet (and I love Dark Lord), but really different. I think I dig it.
M- Really high carbonation with a medium body that leaves a sticky film on everything it touches. Bit of warming alcohol as well.
O- Easily the one of the strangest beers I've had on my short BA adventure. After about 15 minutes of sipping, I think I found the flavor profile. Tastes like a Ricola natural cough drop...good thing I like those.

In reply to Re: SSRI insomnia, restlessness, poor concentration, posted by crittercuddler on December 13, 2008, at 16:11:33
From reading this thread, there are two issues I'd like to focus on:
1. Your OCD seems to be working against you.
Since my OCD gets into lockstep with my depression whenever I try to start something new, that's as far from criticism as it's possible to get on this planet. The question, though, is what to do about it?
Since it's such a problem for me, I'll offer you some of the things that have helped me:
Discussing my OCD-related reactions with my doctor in advance, so that we can work together to head them off. We've hit on two strategies that work well together, and have helped more than everything else we've tried put together -- and far more than benzos, for me.
A: Before starting a new medication, we discuss what we'll do if it doesn't work. We'll go through our entire list of possibilities -- it's a lot quicker now, since we've already discussed the options so many times. That reduces my anxiety -- not only about the medication and whether I'll have a good or bad experience on it, but also that my doctor will still be helping me even if this drug isn't a good one for me. That last part is the important part, by the way: a huge part of the fear is that the doctor will be angry and blame me if the drug doesn't work. (Unfortunately, I have had that experience.)
B. We set up a schedule of check ins during the start up period. We do it via email, because that's how we usually communicate between sessions, but telephone could work just fine, too. The check ins are short -- just whether anything is happening, good or bad, really. The reassurance is beyond my ability to communicate to you. I think that's been the best part -- I know that, if I do have a bad experience, my doctor will know within days (unless it's so bad I email right away instead of waiting), and I trust him to help me with it. Sometimes that means stopping a drug right away, other times, he's got a way to help me stay on it. Those email check ins are great for me.
The other thing that helps me is simply reminding myself that it's likely I'm experiencing a start up phase effect, rather than a long term effect, and reminding myself that I will never get relief if I can't get through the start up phase.
B. You seem to be focused on SSRIs, which don't appear to be helpful to you right now.
You only managed the one dose of Remeron, which would be high on my list of suggestions. I'd suggest trying again -- just on its own. (I hate hearing about starting multiple drugs at once -- not good science.) If you can set up a check in with SOMEONE -- your doctor, a nurse or PA in his/her office, even the receptionist! -- you might find it possible to get through the start up phase.
Otherwise -- Effexor or Cymbalta? Effexor is considered an old reliable by a lot of doctors -- it's a good medication, and worth trying. Despite the stories one hears about the discontinuation, it's still a good drug. Cymbalta, though, might be a better choice to try first. It's like a kinder, gentler Effexor -- although not as reliable, according to anecdotal reports.
Zyprexa, which might be helpful for the OCD, and help you get onto the antidepressant.
And, if you are convinced that you will respond best to one of the SSRIs, I suggest strongly you choose one -- Zoloft is my favorite, for whatever that's worth -- and take something with it to counter the insomnia. Personally, I like Rozerem best -- I try to take it the same time every day, about an hour before I go to bed. It's subtle, but I sleep well on it -- I sleep nearly all night, it doesn't seem to affect my dreams at all, it doesn't seem to have any negative effects on my sleep quality, and it's the only one I've tried that doesn't leave me feeling a little weird the next day.
Those are my suggestions. I hope something in here helps.
Good luck.

The Swellers announce Australian tour
Blue-collar, punk rock has seen a rise to prominence in recent years and at the forefront is Flint, Michigan's The Swellers. And now, the quartet are set to return to Australia for the second time this October, coinciding with the 10 year anniversary of the band's existence.
Over the last decade, The Swellers have taken their hard-edged, yet accessible style of punk to the world stage. The last four of these years have been spent touring non-stop with the likes of Less Than Jake, Set Your Goals, Four Year Strong and A Wilhelm Scream. This touring followed on the back of 2011's album Good For Me, the third for the band. The diverse sounds on the album have seen them fit onto mixed bills all over the world, including a place on the Counter Revolution tour that saw the band head to Australia for the very first time.
While The Swellers started 2012 by leaving former label Fueled By Ramen, the year sees the band continue to grow both both in terms of their skills as musicians and in their fanbase. Having already released the Vehicle City Blues 7-inch in May through SideOneDummy Records, the 7" sold out before its release. The band are now returning to Australia for a national headlining tour.
The tour comes on the back of the release of an EP of brand new music. Alternative Press quoted frontman Nick Diener as saying, "It's five songs that we wrote in our basement and it's, like, the first time in a long time that we've been free and able to do what we want to do. We're not thinking about it too hard, and we're doing it exactly the way we would have 10 years ago when we started the band. [These songs] come from such a special place—just jamming in the basement with my brother again. It's just like it used to be."
Joining The Swellers on the road will be Sydney hardcore act Endless Heights. From day one, Endless Heights have had a clear vision of what their band is about: to keep striving and working towards your dreams. This is articulated clearest on their most recent release, the EP Dream Strong, and in a touring career that has seen them join the stage with Title Fight, Defeater, Break Even, Miles Away, Have Heart and most recently touring Australia with Basement. Endless Heights are currently in pre-production for a new release due in the coming months.
No line up in 2012 is going to bring as heartfelt, honest and melodic punk rock as the pairing of The Swellers and Endless Heights. Watch them join forces for nine stellar shows across the country this October.

WWMT Newschannel 3 - Search Results
State Rep. Margaret O'Brien running for State Senate
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The race for the District 20 State Senate seat is heating up.
State Rep. Margaret O'Brien(R) announced live on Newschannel 3 Wednesday morning she is throwing her hat into the ring. She will be looking to fill the seat being vacated by incumbent Tonya Schuitmaker(R) who is seeking re-election to the senate by way of the new 26th District.
O'Brien says "I talked it over with my family, prayed about, they gave their blessing and I decided to run for the state senate."
She says she was encouraged by her constituents. "I'm here for the community" she says, "I love serving my community and I want to do it in a new way."
Also running for the State Senate seat are fellow Republican and former state representative Lorence Wenke and current state Rep. Sean McCann(D).
O'Brien, a life-long resident of Kalamazoo County, was first elected in November 2010 to the Michigan House to represent the city of Portage as well as the townships of Oshtemo, Prairie Ronde, Schoolcraft and Texas.
While she will be actively campaigning for the senate seat, O'Brien says she will continue working for her constituents. "I'm committed to doing the job I was elected to do."

WASHINGTON — The economy needs to be fixed. On this, Democrats and Republicans agree. They part ways over how to do it and, specifically, what role the federal government should play.
"Ultimately," President Barack Obama tells Congress, "our recovery will be driven not by Washington, but by our businesses and our workers. But we can help." His argument that government has a responsibility to do so probably doesn't sit well with an America that's down on Washington.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and other Republicans competing for his job take a different tack as they court a tea party-infused GOP electorate: The economy will thrive, they say, if Washington simply gets out of the way. As Perry puts it: "Smaller government, less spending, fewer regulations."
At the heart of the 2012 presidential race is an issue as old as the country itself. Is it the federal government's responsibility to address what ails the nation, in this case the economy? And if so, to what degree? What is the right balance?
History tells us that, try as we might, we may never answer those questions; we've been debating them ever since the Jeffersonians and the Federalists squabbled over states' rights vs. a strong central government. In the end, the Constitution assigned certain powers to the federal government while reserving others to states.
But the tension in America between the purely local and a far-off central government has never gone away. Nor, perhaps, should it in an ever-evolving democracy.
These days, Republicans argue for a limited government, claiming that lower taxes and less regulation will encourage job creation. Democrats advocate a more robust government, one that provides more services, pours more money into the economy and, in Obama's case, raises taxes on the nation's highest earners.
"We've been in this pattern for decades. These are the terms of our politics probably for the next generation, too," said Charles Kesler, who teaches government at Claremont McKenna College and edited "Saving the Revolution: The Federalist Papers and the American Founding."
Given the scripts, the question that ultimately determines who wins the presidency might be this: What do Americans want from their government?
For many, the answer is difficult to articulate.
Larry Parkin, a conservative who hosts a discussion group on the Federalist Papers with the South Pinellas 9.12 Patriots in St. Petersburg, Fla., just started collecting Social Security, which he calls a contract with the government. The 65-year-old Coast Guard retiree expects the country to secure the borders and protect the nation. Beyond that, he says: "I expect them to be less intrusive than they are. I expect them to have a limited role."
But he struggles to identify exactly where the line between too much and too little government lies.
Ask Ashley Stilos, a liberal in Fayettville, Ark., the same question and she says one of the government's roles is to take care of its people, adding: "Every individual should have the right to pursue happiness from an equal fighting ground, and that's not the way it is in society."
Is it the government's job to make that playing field level? The 27-year-old university loan specialist says: "They have the power to make it more equal, and it's their responsibility to do that."
Americans' views of government have shifted in recent years, according to an analysis of Associated Press exit polls.
In 1992, more than half of voters thought government was doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals. But by 2008, a majority, for the first time, wanted government to do more to solve the nation's problems.

The Case for Rick Perry (and why he deserves a second look from Conservatives) | Formula 1 Race a "Go" in Austin |
December 7: A Day Which Will Live in Infamy (and a poorly planned lunch menu)
The Dec. 7, 1941, bombing of Pearl Harbor and those who lost their lives that day are being remembered Wednesday on the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack that brought the U.S. into World War II.
About 120 survivors will join Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, military leaders and civilians to observe a moment of silence in Pearl Harbor at 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time — the moment the attack began seven decades ago.
About 3,000 people are expected to attend the event held each year at a site overlooking the sunken USS Arizona and the white memorial that straddles the battleship.
The Pearl Harbor-based guided missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon will render honors to the Arizona and blow its whistle at the start of a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m. — the same time 70 years ago the first Japanese planes began to attack.
Meanwhile, while brave heroes gather in Hawaii to remember those who died that day, the Sidwell School, the elite private school that Obama's children attend, is serving…Japanese food for lunch today. Here's today's menu for the privileged children at Sidwell:
- Asian Mushroom Soup
- Oriental Noodle Salad
- Classic Spinach Salad
- Teriyaki Marinated Chicken Strips
- Szechuan Tofu & Veggies
- Garlic Roasted Edamame
- Vegetable Fried Rice
- Fortune Cookies
The school claims that it's a "coincidence." And it probably is. But it also is indicative of the elitist institutions total lack of awareness about this important date in military history. But since so few (if any) of their children will ever serve (and war is evil, dontchaknow?), it's understandable how they might have overlooked today's historical significance (garlic roasted edamame and and Szechuan tofu? Really?).
I wonder what the D.C. public school system is serving today? Probably a hearty vegetable. Like pizza.

AMARIUS says:
But in regards to today…a day to never forget and honor our Veterans.
DahKens says:
A couple of questions for you to consider when you're done being outraged:
1). How far is the closest Mitsubishi dealership to Pearl Harbor?
2). Did that elitist school, or Obama, have anything to do with that? If so, explain.-
bandit says:
I'd only be outraged if my kids attended school there. Then I'd be outraged by the seething stupidity of the school staff.
ELL857 says:
DahKens I do not blame Mitsubishi for turning their war plants into, with our help, car plants, just as I do not blame Porsche or Mercedes Benz. As far as the elitist school goes who knows? Do you think they might have said "oops my bad" and claimed "it was just coincidence" if they had in some offended some other country, or ethnic group sensibilities, if so why?
On the other hand the Sidwell School could have said "On this 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor we celebrate the Allies ultimate victory by symbolically eating Japan's lunch. That's something I could get behind.
cb1089 says:
Ye gods. That is outrageous. I simply cannot believe anyone in the US of A would serve or eat food from the continent of Asia today. Thanks for tackling the difficult issues.
LL says:
When is the last time you visited Pearl Harbor? The exhibits and accompanying narrative tell a story where neither side was at fault and there are no "bad guys"…
A guy I know asked me why the flags were at half mast today, did someone important die and he didn't hear about it?
My look of astonishment and anger startled him, then I informed him what the significance of the day was.
His apology for asking was effusive.

Acute Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Cardiac Abnormalities: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Neurogenic Stunned Myocardium? a case report
1 Department of Internal Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan,48201, USA
2 Department of Cardiology. Wayne State University, Detroit Medical Center. Detroit, Michigan. 48201 USA
Cases Journal 2010, 3:81 doi:10.1186/1757-1626-3-81
Published: 20 February 2010Abstract
Cardiac abnormalities can be seen with subarachnoid hemorrhage. To date, there have been isolated case reports of transient left ventricular apical ballooning cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in patients suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Case presentation
An adult female was brought to the emergency department with somnolence. A 3 × 3 mm ruptured basilar aneurysm was found and successfully embolized. Two days after the patient developed acute heart failure. Troponin-I was elevated to 4.2 (normal <0.4). On ECG, new symmetric T wave inversion in V3, V4, V5 with prolonged QT were evident. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe systolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 20% and akinetic apex along with the distal left ventricular segments, consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Myocardial contrast echocardiography showed a decrease in capillary blood flow and volume in the akinetic areas with delayed contrast replenishment, sparing the basal segments. A repeat study 2 weeks later showed near normalization of the perfusion parameters. The patient improved with medical management. A repeat echocardiogram, a month later revealed an ejection fraction of 45% with no identifiable wall motion abnormality.
Our case, as well as others reported previously, supports the diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage who fulfill the clinical and imaging description of this syndrome.

Acropolis Rally bosses have published a star-studded entry list for the sixth round of the world championship – billed as 'The Rally of Gods' - which is based in the coastal town of Loutraki, 84 kilometres west of the capital Athens from 31 May – 2 June.
In total 50 crews representing 32 different nationalities are due to tackle the all-gravel event, which features 14 special stages over a competitive distance of 307 kilometres.
The usual suspects will be out in force in Greece with championship leader Sebastien Ogier heading the Volkswagen Motorsport challenge, which is bolstered by fellow Polo R WRC drivers Jari-Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen.
The Citroen Total team's hopes ride with Mikko Hirvonen and Dani Sordo, while Khalid Al Qassimi will pilot a third DS3 WRC for the Abu Dhabi Citroen squad.
Ford Fiesta RS drivers Mads Ostberg and Evgeny Novikov will represent the Qatar M-Sport team, with Thierry Neuville and Nasser Al-Attiyah eligible to score points for the Qatar World Rally team. There are also Fiestas for Martin Prokop and Gabriel Pozzo. Mini John Cooper Works driver Michal Kosciuszko rounds off the WRC runners.
Seventeen crews will chase FIA WRC 2 points including Ford Fiesta RRC driver Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari, who leads the championship after his dominating performance in Argentina. Also in action will be Formula 1 star Robert Kubica, who will make his second WRC appearance in a Citroen DS3 RRC.
The 2013 Acropolis Rally also counts as the second round of the Junior WRC so all the 10 young drivers in the series will return including the winner of the opening round in Portugal, Pontus Tidemand.
Leading the Greek drivers is Lambros Athanassoulas, who won the Production category on the 2009 Acropolis Rally. The Loutraki local will drive a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X prepared by Ralliart Italy on his Acropolis comeback.
The 59th running of the Acropolis Rally will begin with a ceremonial start in front of the Zappion in Athens on the afternoon of Friday 31 May.

As a senior in high school, 25-years ago, I worked alongside the stepdaughter of Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Brian Lanker. She was the photo editor for the student newspaper, I was the photo editor for the yearbook. We were both effectively on each other's staff at any given time.
Standing on the sideline of a Friday night football game with my Canon AE-1 Program and 135mm f2.8 lens, waiting for the action to get close enough for me to shoot, Julie walked in with a Nikon F3 and 300mm f2.8 over her shoulder, and a Pulitzer Prize winner carrying her bag.
I honestly never had the guts to even talk to him.
Lanker was larger than life to me. As a junior I had gone from thinking that photography was a fun hobby to defining myself as a photojournalist. I had gone from just taking photos for the paper and yearbook, to pursuing a career in the field. And here, in my backyard was one of the greats. Lanker's Pulitzer photos were eye-opening. Not just because of their content, but because to me they were proof that even the smallest event was a story that could have impact on people's lives.
Before he'd ever walked onto that football field, before I'd even realized who Julie's dad was, I was aware of Brian Lanker. I knew he'd turned our local paper, The Register-Guard, into one of the "best photo papers†in the country when he came there from Topeka, Kansas. I knew that the inspiration I got from looking at the photos in the paper every day was in part because of his influence there.
But the story does not end there. I graduated from high school I remained in Eugene for a couple more years attending community college, doing a little freelance work, consulting at my old high school as mentor for students following me. I still never got the guts to call Lanker.
But in 1990, the year after his I Dream A World book was published (I raced out and bought it at the Boston University bookstore as soon as I could scrape up the cash) I had an assignment in my newswriting class. I had to interview someone famous in my chosen journalism concentration. The broadcast majors called the networks, the print majors called the Globe, I called Eugene.
I told Brian Lanker, in a cold call, about my high school years, those football games, and I asked if he could spare some time when I was home for spring break? And he did. For over an hour, both sides of the tape in my mini-recorder, in his living room, he let me ask him the most mundane questions a wide-eyed college kid could ask. He told me his life story. He told me about the idea to do I Dream A World. He talked about the Pulitzer, about coming to Eugene. About fighting to change the culture of the paper. About shooting the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
I can honestly tell you I have no idea what grade I got on the story. I can tell you that Lanker wrote me back when I sent him a copy and thanked me. That experience has stuck with me for 20-years, the Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist who was willing to give me of his time to inspire me in my career.
The odds of me ever winning a Pulitzer are pretty low I suppose. But one thing I do know. I will never hold back from providing an aspiring visual journalist with as much of my knowledge, experience and passion as I can share.
Thanks for sharing your memories of Brian, Sean. What an amazing talent he was!

Brian Kalma's commute won't change much as of Monday: instead of heading to Gemvara, the online jewelry merchant headquartered across from South Station, he'll be reporting to Ministry of Supply, a men's apparel startup less than two blocks away in the Leather District.Kalma, a well-known user experience (UX) guru, joined Gemvara only in October 2011, moving to Boston to help the customization-oriented site streamline the configuration and purchase process. He'd previously worked in New York for Gilt Groupe, the "flash sale" site, and for Zappos.com in Las Vegas. At Zappos, he spent seven years overseeing user experience, up to and just beyond the point the footwear purveyor was acquired by Amazon.
"I made a big move to come to Gemvara, and I'm very fond of what's going on here. The decision wasn't easy," Kalma told me earlier this week. Kalma had served as a mentor to the MIT-educated Ministry of Supply team last year, when the startup participated in the MassChallenge entrepreneurship competition. "I wanted to get back to the roots. I just had the burning desire to roll up my sleeves with something small and unproven. Hacking the apparel industry was appealing to me."

Importance: High
Dear Secretary Sebelius:
HHS and operating divisions are out of compliance with current generally accepted standards of medical practice. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), recognized by the American Medical Association as the authority in this field, has published Standards of Care (SOC) for many years that must be observed under mandated insurance. Medicare's policy based in 1981 findings, standing by as states discriminate in Medicaid, very anemic or totally lacking research programs (e.g. NIH/NIMH), and so on can no longer be ignored. Recent data collection efforts, while appreciated, fall direly short of law. Please act immediately, as this case is highly actionable. The next correspondence is scheduled for September.

No reasonable explanation has been given as to why the policy conflicts with the Department of State's, so we also ask that a review of federal policy and procures be conducted across all federal agencies to make them continuous in this regard. Our pleas have been falling on deaf ears at the SSA, and legal action backed by national advocacy groups is close at hand. Please save everyone a great deal of aggravation with this nominal act of solidarity.

]]>It seems to me you are saying that the Netherlands has more resources to research gender identity. This obviously isn't due to their higher GDP, so this calls out obvious discrimination. Is NIH, HHS, and the Obama administration saying it would be better for members of the transgender community to live and die in the Netherlands until the U.S. can muster equality? Why can't NIH even address possible agreements with the Netherlands Brain Bank?

Subject: RE: Brain Banking
Dear Alena:
Thank you for your e-mail to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
We appreciate the challenges for people with Gender Identity Disorder in getting the treatment they seek, but all of the U.S. brain banks that we are aware of only accept brain tissue from people with diagnosed major mental disorders. One of the challenges is getting a large enough number of donors to make it statistically powerful enough to do research. Banking tissues is very expensive and so resources have to be alotted where there is the best chance of collecting from enough donors to have statistically meaningful data. Gender Identify Disorder is an important area of research, but historically it has been difficult to attract large numbers of donors.
Regarding the health of people along the continuum of Gender Identity Disorder and those identified as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, the Department of Health and Human Services has begun efforts to improve data gathering about the health of LGBT individuals, in response to the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on LGBT health. The IOM report was commissioned by NIH and can be found at http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/The-Health-of-Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-and-Transgender-People.aspx. While we have a long way to go until data-gathering is up-to-speed and includes all relevant areas, such as the one you are concerned about, the effort has begun to recognize and address health disparities in this population. NIMH and NIH are also aware that there are individuals in categories beyond those named, as well as those who are questioning. You may be interested in recent announcements by the White House and HHS about these issues. Links to these announcements are below.

Improving Data Collection for the LGBT Community
While we are aware that this does not directly address your concerns, we hope that these efforts will result in more health care attention paid to these issues, and more help becoming available. We hope this information is helpful.

I'm really tired of clinicians and physicians telling me they don't consider Gender Identity Disorder a mental illness, but won't take in off of the DSM until it's recognized as a medical condition so people are still able to get treatment. The Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center says they cannot accept a tissue donation from me for transsexual research due to NIH. Why not, and is there any U.S. brain banks that I can designate the tissue be used for that purpose primarily or exclusively? I have contacted the Netherlands Brain Bank, who is leading in this research, but they say they cannot accept my brain due to lack of lack of agreements with pathologists in the U.S. If there are not any U.S. brain banks perhaps facilitating such agreements would be more practical. It seems to me this would be an obvious priority in health disparities for HHS and the current administration.

I don't know what to do. The University has violated its own Equal Opportunity Statement, and the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action has handed down a verdict that they have not. What do you think?
The University of Minnesota shall provide equal access to and opportunity in its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
The 2010-2011 Comprehensive Student Health Benefit Plan excludes:
Services for or related to sex transformation/gender reassignment surgery, sex hormones related to surgery, related preparation and follow-up treatment, care and counseling.
The American Medical Association says:
Whereas, Many health insurance plans categorically exclude coverage of mental health, medical, and surgical treatments for GID, even though many of these same treatments, such as psychotherapy, hormone therapy, breast augmentation and removal, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, orchiectomy, and salpingectomy, are often covered for other medical conditions; and
Whereas, The denial of these otherwise covered benefits for patients suffering from GID represents discrimination based solely on a patient's gender identity; and
Whereas, Delaying treatment for GID can cause and/or aggravate additional serious and expensive health problems, such as stress-related physical illnesses, depression, and substance abuse problems, which further endanger patients' health and strain the health care system; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association support public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder (New HOD Policy); and be it further
RESOLVED, That our AMA oppose categorical exclusions of coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder when prescribed by a physician. (Directive to Take Action)
While the failure to cover sex reassignment surgery in the Plan does not amount to a violation of University policy, it hinders the perception of the University as a place that supports all of its students. Additionally this exclusion could have a negative impact on the University's ability to promote itself as a welcoming and open community. This concludes the investigation into this matter.
Am I the only gopher embarrassed by that? Not only does it contradict all reason, but they contradict themselves!
Furthermore, I have been advised that the General Counsel's office for the U doesn't think there is a violation of the law. I cite Minnesota Statutes:
363A.03 DEFINITIONS.Subd. 44. Sexual orientation.
"Sexual orientation" means having or being perceived as having an emotional, physical, or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or having or being perceived as having an orientation for such attachment, or having or being perceived as having a self-image or identity not traditionally associated with one's biological maleness or femaleness. "Sexual orientation" does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.
Subdivision 1. Full and equal enjoyment of public accommodations.
(a) It is an unfair discriminatory practice:
(1) to deny any person the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of a place of public accommodation because of race, color, creed, religion, disability, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, or sex, or for a company to discriminate in the access to, full utilization of, or benefit from service because of a person's disability.
Whether Gender Identity Disorder can be considered a disability is controversial in the transgender community, but the Minnesota Human Rights Commission has clearly stated that it can be. Minnesota law broken on two accounts: discrimination based on "sexual orientation" and discrimination based on disability.
The GLBTA office has gotten me to back off for now b/c they think this can be resolved through a joint committee, approved by the Vice Provost, between Boynton employees and members appointed by the GLBTA office to resolve the issue. On the other hand I'm getting legal advice from OutFront Minnesota saying I have a case that would stand up in court.
My gut is telling me this means war! What should I do? My health and possible survival is at stake here...

Julliard to Bring Jazz Workshop to Oxbridge Academy in 2013
Aspiring jazz musicians in Florida will have the opportunity to train with fellows and faculty members from the prestigious Juilliard School, due to a new program between the world renowned performing arts conservatory and Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches. The new, independent high school in West Palm Beach, FL, was named as one of only six schools around the world selected to host a Juilliard Jazz Summer 2013 Workshop.
Taught by Juilliard's Jazz Division faculty and graduate students, the two week-long sessions are designed to give middle and high school students a taste of the Juilliard experience. The curriculum focuses on refining technique, performance, improvisation, theory, ear training, small combo training and broadening students' understanding of various jazz styles. The rigorous program will also prepare students for a future in music by teaching them essential skills and offering the opportunity to meet working, successful artists who have achieved a high status in the industry. The daily schedule will include a musicianship class, individual practice, ensemble work, big band rehearsal and conclude each day with a jam session.
"The joint program with The Juilliard School aligns perfectly with Oxbridge Academy's mission to provide a world-class, life-defining educational experience to students," said Robert C. Parsons, President and CEO of Oxbridge Academy. "Our own music program is run by one of Florida's best known music teachers, and he has an exciting, ambitious vision for the future of Oxbridge's music curriculum. We will additionally extend this opportunity to as many talented musicians as our campus can accommodate."
Cleve Maloon, who joined Oxbridge Academy in June as director of music programs, facilitated bringing the Juilliard Jazz Summer Workshop to the school. Maloon has deep connections within the music community, having taught for 11 years at the celebrated Bak Middle School of the Arts, which hosted the Juilliard Jazz Summer Workshops for the past two years.
"To be musically trained by The Juilliard School is the ultimate dream for any artist, regardless of age," said Maloon. "The young musicians who attend these workshops will have the opportunity to learn from the best of the best and get a glimpse of the college experience. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis, and every skill level from beginner to advanced will be accommodated."

User Review: Jetboil Personal Cooking System (PCS)
Source: received it as a sample, freebie, or prize (raffle prize at a movie)
Works well, fast when not filled to the top. Ignitor is not reliable but I just use a lighter. Works OK in cold temps (sub 0), but performance is reduced significantly. I would definitely recommend this.
- light weight and compact
- fast
- canisters are wasteful
- ignitor is not reliable
I've had the Jetboil for about 2 years now and it's still going strong. Works pretty well in all conditions. I use it a lot backcountry skiing in the snow and it has performed reasonably well in sub 0 temps.
It does take a lot longer in cold temps, and I have had one canister freeze OPEN, spewing gas out into the air. As long as you only fill the cup to the line it boils VERY fast, filling to the top takes much longer.
Compact size is excellent, and one small canister will last several days in the backcountry.
Where to Buy
The Jetboil Personal Cooking System (PCS) is not available from the stores we monitor.
