look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a medium dark brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of black chocolate notes with some light liquor notes with some dried fruits notes as well. Taste is also a mix between some dark black chocolate notes with some dried fruits notes and some light liquor notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very nice drink though a bit too much of the dried fruits notes.

Tasted 22 March 2013, reviewed from notes.
Pours deep brown but clear, clear at the edges, especially with light behind it. Half finger of light tan head, good retention and really nice lacing.
Smell is like a deep stout, with lots of rich medium-dark chocolate and all kinds of yummy fruit. Figs, plums. Just fantastic.
Taste is layers and layers of variety. Chocolate, then coffee, slightly bitter. Then the next taste brings figs and molasses. So many dark sweet flavors layered on top of each other, it's like peeling back the pieces.
Medium-heavy body, sort of a fizzly carbonation, puffing up and then fading. Moderately lasting flavor.
Oh, how I love the Deschutes anniversary beers. I wish I'd bought more of this when I could. Really tasty. Delicious, deep, complex.

Fairly viscous deep mahogany/brown pour with a small off-white head. Slightly syrupy body that coats the mouth with raisins, dates, figs, prunes, rummy notes, deep, dark chocolate, and a finish that is quite bittersweet. Flirts with cloying, at times, but avoids it. Another Excellent effort from Deschutes.

Poured from a bomber into a 3 Floyds Teku Glass. Best after date is 07/23/13 which is 4 months from now.
Appearance: Pours a deep brown/black with a medium tan head. An attractive looking porter.
Smell: Chocolate is definitely the main smell coming from this one. Cocoa powder, figs, raisins, plums as well as a hint of smoke.
Taste: Matches the smell: chocolate, figs, plums, dates, raisins, some plastic & finishes with some alcohol but not too much.
Mouth-feel: Medium to heavy bodied and velvety smooth. Not much carbonation. Really nice feel to it.
Overall: Definitely a quality porter. I don't mind the lack of coffee flavor - the chocolate fits this one nicely. The alcohol is noticeable but not too strong, and the velvet feel of this one is definitely appealing. A quality brew.

Thanks to tokenjobberoffense (reddit) for this one, the first of the Deschutes BB Anniversary beers I'll have had. Elegant ruby and deep, deep brown on the pour, not quite absent of enough color to be called black. A slightly darker-than-khaki head forms and leaves some mild lacing along the sides of the glass; decent retention for an 11% ABV porter.
The first sniff brings forth a deep-ish, booze-laden, roasted malt structure that is slightly unlike any other that I've come across. Certainly lots of heavy, dark fruits crowding all sides; figs, dates, bruised prunes - hefty doses of sweetness and booziness clash constantly and battle for king of the hill. I can definitely say that it's a little more heavy on the alcohol than I was expecting. There's a mild cocoa aroma hidden underneath the roast and the booze, but most of the sweetness still seems to be coming in the form of fruits.
Black Butte XXIV is just a bit booze and raisin-heavy on the palate. Don't get me wrong, I like booze and I like raisins, but after the first few sips, this beer seems to be a little overpowering and one-track minded to say the least. Definitely more sweet and more boozy than I would have guessed, although I can't say for sure where my initial opinions had come from.
There isn't much roast to this at all, save for the faint hint of roasted malt that occasionally peaks through the vapid sea of alcohol and sweetness. Light soy in the aftertaste, just a touch, as the beer warms up. Cocoa starts to finally come through as well. The aftertaste is still riding the heavy booze wave, and actually finishes quite dry. Medium-heavy body, lightly creamy and smooth.
I definitely suggest letting this warm up before consumption. More flavors seemed to come out as it approached warmer temps; right out of the gate, it was almost nothing but boozy, sweet raisins. Even once it opened up a bit, it was still fairly underwhelming given my relatively high expectations. Still not a bad beer, but it doesn't fulfill the large shoes that some people have granted it.

22oz. black wax sealed bomber bottle with a dirt simple dark chocolate label with the name of the beer in big bold faded gold letters. To the right of the name in small print is a description of the beer. To the left of the name is the mandatory government warning, an inked ABV of 11%, and a best after date. This is the current vintage. My bottle is best AFTER 7/23/13. A little early. Poured into a Big Eddy (don't laugh) snifter.
The beer coming out of the bottle looked like it was a dark cherry wood color. When the beer reached the glass, it was more of a onyx black color. It was as black as the wax that was covering the cap. I held it up to the light to see what the true color of the beer was, but it was so dark that light bounced off it. No help there. On top of this dark brew was a small 1/4 of an inch tan almost coffee colored head of foam. This head of foam had somewhere to be so it didn't bother to stick around. It only managed to leave behind a faint sting of rings and a few tiny spots around the glass.
It was sweet, roasted, malty, and fruity all at the same time. It started off sweet with caramel and brown sugar. The second part of the aroma contained the dark roasted malts, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans and a little oak. This part lasts for a few seconds before it gave way to the dark fruits. The dark fruit part contained figs, dates, and rum raisins. It's the type of aroma you would want to find in a beer like this.
While the sweet flavors kicked off the aroma, it was the dark roasted malts that kicked off the taste. Directly behind the roasted malts was the dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, a few sticks of black licorice, a drop of oak, and a pinch of roasted hops. After the hops added their subtle bitterness, in comes all the dark fruits. This dark fruit punch contained figs, dates, raisins, and a speck of black cherry. When the beer really warms up, some sweet flavors like the brown sugar will emerge from the background. Not a candy sweetness. It was a subtle sweetness. I would have like the sweets to come out more to counter all the roasted flavors. Can't win them all.
Thick mouthfeel with a thick roasted aftertaste. There was no sweetness in the aftertaste to counter or add something to extra to the aftertaste. The aftertaste was thick with dark roasted malt, dark chocolate, oak, roasted coffee beans, dates, figs, and raisins. This beer didn't bother to mask the 11% ABV. I think it wanted to show you who's boss.
I wish I could say that I had the previous 23 years of Black Butte, but unfortunately this is my first one. So I can't compare this vintage with another one. As for the beer itself, it was a nice bold dark fruit heavy Porter. More sweetness to counter the roasted elements would have been nice. As is, I would like to see what age will do to this beer.

22 oz. bottle served in a Southern Tier tulip.
A: Pours a blackish color with brown highlights. A light khaki head. Recedes to a thin cap. Some splotchy lace is left down the glass.
S: Oaky with some light roasty malts. C hocolate withe some figs and dark fruit flavors. Light boozy notes.
T: Even more oaky than the nose suggests. Dark chocolate with a some roasted malts and brown sugar sweetness. Raisins and figs. Boozy sweetness on the backend, but not too hot.
M: Medium bodied with a medium carbonation level. Sweet and roasty finish.
O: This was too oaky at this point. Hopefully some time will blend the beer together a little better.

Brown and black pour, kind of a disappointing head formation and lack of lacing. Color is cool though. And its barrel aged, so you have to tame your expectations for such a thing.
Roast aroma, dark fruit, chocolate, bourbon is less existant than in previous years. Deschutes seems to be doing less and less bourbon barrel aging every year in this beer and the Abyss.
Taste is solid as usual, my only complaint is the lack of more bourbon character and the dark fruit notes. Taste has too much dark fruit that comes through. A little bit goes a long way, but it seems to make for a less thick beer, and accentuates flavors that detract from better ones (chocolate, bourbon, wood, 2 row). Instead, I get a lot of licorice, fig, plum type of things that cause me to not like BSDAs as much as other styles.
Its still a really good beer, and hopefully aging will tame some of the new adjuncts they are using to skimp on the percentage of the beer that is aged in the bourbon barrels. Cherry bark for Abyss, figs for Black Butte = meh. Just get back to making a massive porter/stout with lots of chocolate + chocolate malt and bourbon barrels. Still hides the alcohol well, but not as good as in previous years.

Deschutes Black Butte XXIV
A: Black and Brown. Pours no head just some foam. Lacing isn't great.
S: Pete, roasted malt and figs
T: Chocolate and fruity notes. Medium body. Not heavy feeling but a very nice "dark" feel.
M: Lots of carbonation and lots of fruit flavors.
O: Reminds me more of a quad but its good. Heavy flavor, medium body. Overall a good beer but something I'd rather have 12oz of not 22.

Reviewing a vertical of Black Butte XX, Black Butte XXI, Black Butte XXIII and Black Butte XXIV from the Deschutes Brewery from Bend, Oregon to commemorate my 400th written review (per BeerAdvocate)! A major thanks and shout out to Edgar Chavez for making this vertical tasting possible. Each vintage of the Barrel Aged Black Butte release is a different formulation.
Black Butte XXIV is Deschutes' Black Butte porter brewed with dark chocolate nibs, Daglet dates and Mission figs, and partially aged in Bourbon Barrels.
Black Butte XIV Score: 90
2012 vintage bottle served side-by-side with the 2008, 2010 and 2011 vintages and enjoyed on 02/10/13 with a few friends.
Appearance: The appearance is strikingly similar on all vintages -- this brew is similar to a dark molasses in appearance/color. The XXIII pour is a little lighter, faintly orange-ish in color in comparison to the other three. Each vintage pours a thin layer of light mocha head that settles to a ring around the glass on all of them. Average lacing and retention using the worst glassware possible. 4/5
Smell: Fig, hops, chocolate and a little soy. More dark fruit forward than the other vintages, which is unsurprising. There is a little bit of a "red wine"-ish scent to this vintage. The XIV's nose kind of reminds me of the 2011 Darkness a little bit. There was something also vaguely "herbal" about the XIV nose. There's definitely a little maple present too. 4/5
Taste: Dark fruit, less chocolate than the nose and a touch of soy too. There is a touch of spice on the back of the tongue and a little heat from alcohol. Additionally, there is a bit of port-like sweetness that reminds me a little of the Haymarket Acrimonious. 3.75/5
Mouthfeel: Each of the vintages' mouthfeels are a little heavier than medium bodied, but far from full bodied (and not quite medium-full bodied either). Low carbonation as well. Each of the vintages has a real nice, drinkable balance (none is too sweet or acidic (well the XXI has a little acidity, but in a good way) or whatever). Oily slick feel on the tongue. Only the freshest vintage (XIV) has a little "alcohol heat" to it. 4/5
Overall: I feel like verticals are often "reserved" for rarer and bigger beers like Dark Lord and Bourbon County (Brand) Stout, or even barleywines dating back to the 90's (i.e., Bigfoot), but this was a really fun vertical to do. Nothing was really can't miss here, but nothing had "fallen off," and nothing here was undrinkable by any stretch of the imagination. My favorite vintage in the end was the XXI, but each vintage struck me in a unique way at different points in the vertical as it warmed up. Cold, the XX and XXIII were my favorite.
Cost: $12.99 for a 22 oz (bomber) bottle that can cost as much as $19.99.

1722nd Review on BA
Bottle to Woodshop Snifter
Shared at Herbies Birthday
App- This was much darker than I wouldve thought for a porter. A more inky black color with a huge dense center and no color loss on the edges. The head was a major let down for me. The head was almost no where to be found except for a small 1/8" bubble ring around the edges. No cling or lace.
Smell- The beer gets better with the nose. A bit more chocolate and malt comes out with the addition of the earthy figs. It was slightly dry with a bit of grains behind it, but didnt tie everything together on the aroma.
Taste- The flavors of this one were better than the 1st two parts of the beer. It had more smooth and rich malts with a good amount of chocolate and roast flavors. Slightly bitter and earthy due to the use of the figs. A good amount of flavors combined to be better than the parts.
Mouth- A semi-medium body with a medium creamy carbonation. A bit more smoothness that I was thinking due to the flavors and the nose but still good none the less. A lot of fig remained on the finish for me.
Drink- I will rate this as a 4. Solid but not what I was hoping when I shelled out the $$ for this one. I might have to track another bottle down to sit on to see if it comes together like the others I have had.

Had on tap at Deschutes. Review from notes.
A: BB24 was black with a one finger tan head on top. Decent retention, slowly reducing to thin cap on top. Streaky lacing formed down the sides.
S: Lots of roast mixed with some milk chocolate, brown sugar, and some dark fruit, mostly raisin on the aroma.
T: Not as exciting as I was hoping for. Some roasted malt, but overly sweet with chocolate and a little bit of dark fruit, but really not as much as I was expecting.
M: Medium-full bodied with low to medium carbonation.
O: Easily my least favorite of the series thus-far, but then again, had the others with some age on them and out of the bottle. Would be interested to try it again in a year or so.

Mouthfeel- Thinner than I expected but still good for a porter. 3.5/5

Appearance: Oil black. This is DARK beer. I can only see a few bubbles of carbonation on the outer edges because it's so dark. An aggressive pour gave me a lackluster 1/2 inch of a creamy tan head. Retention is not that great as the head dissipates quickly. Regardless of the head retention, this beer looks warm and inviting.
Smell: Strong notes of figs and dates. Very slight roasted coffee smell. The malts used in this beer smell sweet
Taste: VERY strong taste of figs and dates. Again a slight bit of roasted coffee. Slight biscuity taste. This beer is very sweet and rich. The bittering hops used in this beer were likely very clean and neutral, which allows for the fig and date flavors to come shining through the beer and dominate the mouth. Light bitterness.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation is moderate-low to moderate-medium. The mouthfeel is light and smooth with some nice warmth in my cheeks coming from the alcohol. It finishes very wet in the mouth and keeps me coming back for more. I find it hard to put this down.
Overall: Overall I'm very impressed by this beer. Sweet beers are usually not my thing, but this would pair very nicely with similar sweet things. At 11% ABV, this beer is definitely a slow sipper meant to be enjoyed for a special occasion. Perfect all the way around.

Pours a deep dark black with a milk chocolate head. Has a nice roast smell with hints of cherry and chocolate.
Black and mild smoothness. The chocolate and cherry are definitely there with the roast malt in the background. Finish is so smooth with nice hints of sweetness. I'm not a huge porter fan, but this one made me a believer!
Wish I had bought another bottle.

Big thanks to YumYumGumGum for this bottle in a trade awhile back!
Bottle split and shared with a couple friends during the Packers game on Saturday. Poured my allotment into my Hardywood snifter (also thanks to YumYumGumGum).
Pours a thick, viscous, dirty motor-oil black with a small tan head on top. Fair retention of the foam. Some light sticky globs hang around after each sip. Rich flavorful aromas of chocolate, roasted malts and coffee, bourbon - all enveloped in a sweet scent of fruit. There's something about these big bold stouts/porters when they mix in fruit character that I really dig.
Amazing feel as this viscous beer wraps up the palate in a wash of velvety goodness. Subtle carbonation, heavy feel. This is a sipper for sure. A wonderful treat to close out the night with. Big flavors of dark fruit - plum, fig, raisin. Sweetness pulls through with notes of vanilla, bourbon, brown sugar. Mild roasted quality helps bring this one around and prevents this from becoming a total sweet bomb.
This was a really great beer, and a reminder why this is one of my most anticipated releases each year. Wasn't a fan of the XXIII, so this was a pleasant treat. A wonderful marriage of dark fruits and dark chocolate in the form of a fantastic beer.

This porter pours more black than a lot of stouts. No light gets through, even at the edges. Milk chocolate head that sticks around a while.
Smell is roast, chocolate and dark fruits. Really nice smelling beer.
Tastes great. Chocolate, deep flavors of dark fruits. There is a bit of the barrel and bourbon in there as well. A bit too much fruity sweetness on the finish to be a 4.5. So I am giving it four. Really good taste though.
Full, thick feel.
Outstanding all around.

Pours jet black with a finger of creamy tan head. Decent retention and good lacing.
Big licorice and dark chocolate notes in the aroma. A bit of dark fruit as well.
Lots of dark chocolate flavor up front along with licorice. Similar to the nose. I get a lot of raisin in the back end as well.
Very creamy appropriate carbonation. Mouthfeel really brings everything together.
Very nice. Perfect mouthfeel ramps up all the individual components. I'm sometimes sensetive to licorice flavors in my stouts, but this one has it beautifully integrated.

Dark brown, garnet highlights; fast disappearing "soda" head. Exotic sweetness, plenty of licorice in the aroma. While the label mentions dates and figs, I don't get any. Maybe some dates but no figs. This is also surprising because date/fig notes are pretty common in beers even without actual additions.
Anyway, moving on. Taste has a good kick of roast and a very prominent dark chocolate note and aftertaste. I like how this is sweet on the palate but clean in the finish. But whatever they put in it, it seems to be muddled. Also, I don't know if any part of this beer went in any barrels but this sure doesn't taste like that to me.
Mouthfeel is inoffensive. Overall I am divided about this beer. What I CAN say though is that it is not worth its price (in bottled format).

22 oz black waxed bomber into a Bolt Cutter glass. Best after: 07/23/13. Thanks Steimie!
A - Pours a pitch black body. Just a slight bit of light makes it through the edges to show a dark brown color. Short lasting two fingers of khaki foam. Decent lacing and retention.
S - Super smokey malts. Burnt caramel, savory black peppercorns, herbal licorice, sweet dark chocolate and loads of figs and dates. Its like a fig newton was dropped into a smoked porter. Insanely complex and unique.
T - Roasted malts lead into an interesting plethora of flavors that weave in and out of savory and sweet. Caramel, brown sugar, peat, black pepper, dark chocolate and rich figs. Aftertaste of char. Taste is phenomenal and just all over the place.
M - Alcohol heat is present but welcome. Medium bodied with a nice level of carbonation.
O - A bit confusing and overwhelming but very tasty and unique. Would certainly be interested in seeing how it turns out after the "Best After" date.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a snifter, best after 7/23/13. This ours a pitch black color with a large mocha colored head with good retention and leaves a lacing. The smells are fantastic, I can smell the espresso, chocolate and dark roasted malts from 3 feet away as I pour, up close, I get a hint of alcohol, some dark roasted malts, a little pepper. The feel is thick and creamy. The taste is good, there is some definite alcohol heat, beyond that you get some dark creamy roasted malts, a little bitterness, espresso and chocolate, a little age on this one might tame it a hair, but its still exceptional and has enough going on to balance it out.

Aroma is dark chocolate, bitter roasted malt, dark sweet fruit. Smells amazing, deep and clean.
Taste is rich pure chocolate, dark roasty malt. An outstanding balance between pure, elemental flavors. Chocolate truffles in a glass.
Mouthfeel is full-bodied, luxurious. Nice bitter finish.
Overall an outstanding anniversary version of Black Butte porter.

Taste is similar to the nose, with lots of cocoa, chocoalate, bourbon, oak and more chocolate. Medium body with a creamy texure and lively carbonation. Finishes with a dry, cocoa powder touch. Alcohol shows in the aftertaste as it warms. Overall, a tasty sipper with lots going on. Cheers!

NSW Police have called for the state government to toughen the penalty for drivers caught repeatedly using their mobile phones, amid disagreement over whether phone use in cars is actually a significant contributor to motor accidents.
Appearing before the Staysafe parliamentary inquiry in to driver and road user distraction, the NSW Police Assistant Commissioner, John Hartley, said the government needed both education and stronger enforcement to reduce the number of people becoming dangerously distracted by hand-held devices.
"From my point of view, a second mobile phone use offence should be a much higher penalty," he said. "If you're caught twice, maybe you lose your licence for a period of time."
Various witnesses appearing before this morning's committee hearing likened the risk posed by mobile devices to low-range drink driving.
A senior government transport bureaucrat said the government needed to raise awareness of distraction by mobile devices in a similar way as had been done with speeding and other risks in previous decades.
"Our desire is to get this issue of driver distraction, within the community, the same as we had drink driving, speeding and seat-belts into the community's mind in the '70s and '80s and '90s," said Tim Reardon, deputy director general, policy and regulation at Transport for NSW.
But during this morning's hearings, one MP on the committee questioned whether mobile phones and other devices actually posed a serious threat to road safety.
Labor MLC Walt Seccord cited the government's own statistics that showed mobile phones accounted for only 1 per cent of all crashes blamed on driver distraction. Between July 2010, and December 2011, only 60 out of 4913 "distraction" crashes resulting in injuries or death involved mobile phones. The vast majority, 77 per cent, were distracted or had their vision obscured by something outside the vehicle.
"Isn't this just revenue raising?" he queried.
The standard penalty for using a hand-held phone while driving is $265 and three demerit points. Almost 46,000 people were charged with this offence in 2011.
But several experts who appeared before the committee said the data about the involvement of mobile phones in crashes was unreliable, because police still usually relied on motorists confessing to being on their phone when they crashed.
"No one admits to using a mobile phone while they're driving," Mr Hartley said.
Mobile phone usage was identified as contributing to nine fatal crashes in NSW since 2005, he said.
The inquiry continues.

Plane crash into Charlevoix home kills 2
TRAVERSE CITY -- The teenage survivor of the plane crash in Charlevoix County Friday continues his recovery at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City.
The family spokesperson released this statement to the media:
"Austin remains in critical condition but is recovering. We ask that everyone respect our family's privacy during this time of grief. We appreciate the prayers, concerns, and outpouring of sympathy. Expressions of support for Austin and the family may be directed to www.caringbridge.org/visit/AustinHatch."
Austin Hatch, 16, of Fort Wayne, Indiana is surrounded by family and friends. He was also reunited with one other survivor of the crash, his dog.
The Charlevoix Area Humane Society tells 7&4 News the family had two dogs on board the plane when it crashed. One of the dogs died, the other was found about six blocks away from the crash site. The director of the animal shelter said an animal control officer was called out late Saturday night after a labradoodle was found. A microchip traced the dog back to the Hatch family.
A family friend picked up the dog named "Brady" Sunday. 7&4 News is told the dog was brought to Munson Medical Center Monday and reunited with Austin.
Austin's father Dr. Stephen Hatch and his wife Kim were the people killed in the crash. FAA officials say the plane was headed to Boyne Falls when it crashed into a garage near the Charlevoix Airport. The plane had taken off from Smith Field in Fort Wayne, Ind. earlier in the day.
The Federal Aviation Administration is still investigating the cause of the crash. Indiana's NewsCenter, WISE-TV NBC 33 also says this is not the first time a flight tragedy has struck this family. They report in 2003, Dr. Hatch was flying a plane from Michigan back to Fort Wayne and clipped a power pole in Wells County, causing that plane to crash. Hatch and his son Austin survived that crash. Hatch's 38-year-old wife, Julie, 11-year-old daughter Lindsay, 5-year-old son Ian and the family dog were killed in that crash.
Austin Hatch is committed to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to play basketball after high school. The family was celebrating Austin's school choice just a week before the plane crash.

Maine in Your Words
"Define the essence of Maine in a sentence? Sorry, Down Easters. Can't be done. The state of Maine is at least worthy of a thesaurus and half a Webster's 1828 dictionary. Would you ask Renoir to paint a portrait using only five brushstrokes or Beethoven to compose a symphony with only a handful of chords? Impossible!"
That was the response of Hank Leonard, of Blacksburg, Virginia, when we asked our readers how they would define "the real Maine." Based upon the volume of words we received, we are forced to concur with Mr. Leonard. Ask thousands of people about Maine, and you will get thousands of different answers. Some will be celebratory, lyrical, and nostalgic; others tend toward the blunt, hardhearted, and crotchety. On the following twenty-four pages you'll discover a representative sampling of the many letters sent to us, including quotes from well-known Maine personalities ranging from our governor-elect, Paul LePage, to novelist Stephen King, and from singer Don McLean to domestic doyenne Martha Stewart. You might find a definition of the real Maine that rings especially true to you — or you might not. Reality, we've learned, is all in the eye of the beholder.
To make exploration of your answers easier online, we've grouped the most insightful into four big categories:
Read each section and enjoy each set of answers, essays, and thoughts about Maine. And for even more responses, check out More Maine in Your Words, which includes dozens of fabulous responses that we couldn't fit into the issue.
Maine is my favorite place
Maine is my favorite place in the word because it is perfectly simple in a complex kind of way.

The Real Maine only existed years ago before the secular progressive liberal democrats moved here to seek a better life and forever ruin the lives of the Native Mainers!

breakfast at wolfies
please mention Wolfies is now serving breakfast 7 days a week... early bird special $3.95 3 eggs, bacon,sausage or hand carved ham with home fries and toast! 6:00-8:00a.m. hours 6:00-11:00a.m. mon-friday 7-11 sat-sun
breakfast at Wolfie's
i think the breakfast m-f should be til 1oclock instead of 11, that might be too early to try to get there by for some ppl
Sidewalk Café
I've attempted to eat breakfast at Sidewalk Café twice. Each time, we've sat at a table for 10+ minutes while the girls behind the bar chatted it up and texted. If you're listening, you need to tighten up the staff and managment in that place.
Wolfie's not Sidewalk Cafe
I think you meant Wolfie's, we dont have a bar at Sidewalk! But thanx for the heads up,i have ordered muzzle's and no more cell phones allowed while working!!! See you at Wolfie's for the best Brunch(Sat-Sun 10-4) or breakfast 7 days a week starting at 6:30a.m.(new hours).Thanx again!!
had breakfast a few weeks ago at the Paramount, bacon was pre-cooked and was as hard as a hockey puck, potatoes all pre-cooked and also cold (ordered them well done & they were not), service was very fast, cafeteria style but quality was lacking and it was very expensive for what you got!
Franklin, Sidewalk, Paramount
I love the brunch at the Franklin Cafe, but the hours have changed and it's only open for brunch on Sundays from 11-4. Tough because the huevos rancheros are unreal!
The egg sandwiches and coffee at the Sidewalk are the best in Southie. Even if it's cash only, Sidewalk is a must-try for breakfast.
Paramount is my new favorite place in town. The breakfast menu is great! Fresh-squeezed OJ and great specials almost every weekend. Omelettes and french toast are delicious!
The Seapoint. (8th and Covington Street)
Great breakfast on Sundays, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. Mile high bloodies and 'Mosas. Parking, too!
Stats does brunch every
Stats does brunch every saturday and sunday from 10 am-2 pm. Hot spot on sundays for ftball and drinking.
I have ordered from My Diner and for around 11.00 (including tip) I got: eggs, homefries, toast, sauages and ice coffee delivered to my door. They include fork, knife, spoon, salt, pepper, napkin, straw and ketchup. All you do is sit down and eat. In case you were wondering the ice coffee arrived cold and the food hot.

Orson Scott Card: There aren't enough turn-based strategy games
Orson Scott Card has said that there are not enough turn-based strategy games out there, and the ones that are out there focus too much on battle.
Speaking with BigDownload about Shadow Complex, among other things, Card said that most game developers could learn a thing or two from Sid Meier when it comes to creating strategy games.
"I like the turn-based strategy game and there aren't very many of those made, and most of them are made badly," he said. "Really Sid Meier is the only guy who does it reliably. And I wish more people would learn the lessons from the way he does it. Because I've looked at some of the other offerings and they emphasize the tedium and the fog of war.
"You have to fight these endless battles. And I don't want to play war. I want to play Civilization. And Civilization, you have to be able to fight, you have to be prepared to fight, but the main business of Civilization is being civilized –creating stuff, building. That's what I want to do."
It's a rather interesting read, and the full thing is through here.

Ender's Game deal signed with Chair
Chair Entertainment, the studio responsible for the recently freely distributed Xbox Live peace offering, Undertow, has claimed the rights to create a game based on Orson Scott Card's classic sci-fi novel, Ender's Game, says this.
"From the moment I started working with [creative director] Donald Mustard and his team at Chair, I knew that these were the guys I wanted to do the first Ender's Game video game," said Card. "It's not enough to slap the Ender's Game name on just any game–it has to be exciting, memorable, and endlessly replayable. Chair shares my understanding of this and I am looking forward to working with them to ensure the game is as authentically Enderish as possible."
No release date has been given but work is expected to start later this year.

Though the improvements made in Safari 5 lack the visual pop of the biggest changes in Safari 4, such as the Cover Flow-inspired Top Sites and history browsing and the interface refresh, Safari 5 contains just about the same level and quality of changes--with one caveat.

It's Jira time again – recently fixed bugs and known issues
It's time for another update from the Jira front. To remind you – Jira is our issue tracking system where everybody can report any API or Extras platform related bug/problem/feature request. Below is an overview of the latest known problems and recently fixed cases. There's many Extras related bug fixes waiting to get live, so wait for my next update.
Known problems:
Public API (SPA Jira project):
+ [SPA-478](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-478) – Open Skype command from system tray should set silent mode to OFF.
+ [SPA-486](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-486) – Possible difference in the DTMF sent by the Skype Dialpad and from the API
+ [SPA-306](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-306) – Security Dialog sometimes not appearing under Vista. The problem is that the application shouldn't be started with admin privileges since Skype is not run with admin rights either and otherwise there will be a conflict and Skype can not give the permission rights properly. This also goes to the situation when the application is started from the installer since the installation is happening under admin rights. It's actually up to every developer to make his application Vista friendly and avoid this problem.
Extras (PIF Jira project):
+ [PIF-795](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-795) – Uninstalled extra is shown under My Extras. This is a problem when the Extra is uninstalled from Control Panel.
Recently fixed issues:
Public API (SPA Jira project):
+ [SPA-421](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-421) – CALL command reply inconsistent with Windows client
Extras (PIF Jira project):
+ [PIF-697](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-697) – User receiving "Failed to make a purchase: you were not charged" message whey trying to buy an Extra. This was a payment related bug which is fixed now.
Other issues:
+ [SPA-482](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-482) – Partner feedback form was broken for a while, but is fixed now.
+ [JSA-37](https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/JSA-37) – Skype4Java cannot connect to libJSA.so (Ubuntu Linux), throws java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError. Should be fixed now.

I have detected following behavior which I think it is a bug.
I am using Skype for Mac OS X version 220.127.116.117, my partner is using latest Windows client.
There is no call involved. Just chat.
When my partner disconnects and reconnects then we cannot keep chatting. Messages appear always as "pending". Mac client does keep receiving online status notifications (like from online to skypeme to away, for example). We need to completely restart clients for the chat to work again. It seems that chat subsystem (if something like that exists internally) caches IP address (as it does kind of point-to-point connection).
However, if we both use Windows client this doesn't happen.Hope this helps. I would be glad to answer further questions for you to be able to open a JIRA issue properly.

It would be nice if on the Skype support page, there was a link to file a bug report. Obviously, based on the comments to the blog, there is a need for this!
In lieu of any other options, here is a bug report:
If you change any settings in Tools-> options, then click save (while you have no internet connection), it correctly says it can't save. But, if you reconnect to the internet, then hit save again, it still says it can't save – it says this immediately without actually trying again. -

I just downloaded the latest version of skype. I had 2 blue screens of death tonight while on skype. I have not had the problem when skype is off line.
lee_clout said 4 years ago
not sure where to post bugs, but after 2 minutes of searching I'm happy to post them here given there's no apparent better place (though i'm sure there is). I'm using vista (yes, yes I know but I'm migrating to linux and still have a few hurdles)…
anyway Vista, Skype 126.96.36.199 and a M-audio firewire audiointerface.
Windoze is using the same audio defaults I wish skype would use.Everytime I start skype it defaults to my hdmi audio out, rather than my audio interface. I've set all the preferences time and time again but skype likes to make it's own choice.
Hopefully someone somewhere can let Skype know.
There used to be problems with the audio in defaulting to different options (I had an on/off switch on my mic, which confused skype a lot)
I went to https://support.skype.com/ (choose "Submit support request" link from the right hand menu). But it looks more like a FAQ page and didn't mention bug reports anywhere.
Apologies for being negative, just fed up with unknowingly beta testing products…

allendavidreed said 4 years ago
Hello, I am experiencing a bug now in your latest two updates regarding the "call phones" feature. It crashes most of the time now as soon as I try calling someone. I get a message "do you want to report this error" as it starts to play the voice recording or as the person is saying hello, then skype closes completely and I have to reboot it.
I have found that if I add the same number to my contacts and call through that way it is working fine.
This has just started happening, and I make a lot of calls, so the pattern is clear. It started a week or so ago with an update I agreed to. I just tried updating to see if a newer version was available that might have perhaps caught this problem, and it does seem a bit more stable, but alas, it still crashes most of the time, but at least that is not all of the time (lol).
I have this on an Windows XP media version laptop.
BTW, I also had a hell of a time trying to get this message to you'all! You really need to provide better customer support access! Your FAQ has NOTHING on where and how to report bugs. or how to contact support. For a prime player in the telecom market, this is not good.
Thanks, allen

VIDEO: Sneak Peek - Jack White Performs on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS
Jack White
Austin City Limits (ACL) ushers in the new year and the second half of Season 38 with an unforgettable hour of rock and roll from Jack White. A rocker who knows how to push all the boundaries, White and his two, yes two, bands (the all-male Buzzards and the all-female Peacocks) blast through an hour of music without a setlist, ranging from high energy blues rock to melodic country. The episode airs Saturday, January 5, 2013 on PBS Stations. Get a sneak peek below!
Jack White performs songs from his acclaimed solo debut, Blunderbuss, recently nominated for three 2013 Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song. Highlighting Blunderbuss, and also drawing from his previous work with his bands the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and Dead Weather, the performance is a masterful presentation of White's continuing evolution as contemporary rock's most charismatic provocateur. It's a visually and sonically spectacular episode of ACL, with White, bathed in blue light, flanked by his all-male band the Buzzards for the first half of the hour and then seamlessly switching bands in mid-set to his all-female band the Peacocks for the second half.
White and the Buzzards kick things off with the Grammy-nominated track "Freedom at 21". Picking up an acoustic guitar for the unreleased Hank Williams tune "You Know That I Know", White dedicates the song "to a girl up in Detroit who called the police on me one time." At the halfway point, the Buzzards leave the stage to be replaced by the Peacocks, launching into "Love Interruption", the single that heralded Blunderbuss' arrival. White roars through tracks from the various stages of his remarkable career, closing out the set with a Nashville spin on a few White Stripes classics. The episode marks Jack White's second appearance on ACL (the Raconteurs appeared in Season 32) and his first as a solo artist.
"Jack is at the top of his game," says ACL executive producer Terry Lickona. "The beauty of this show is its raw spontaneity. Nobody - from the director to the drummer - has a clue what Jack is going to do next. Hell, even Jack doesn't know. Sometimes he shifts gears in the middle of a song. It's one of the most unique episodes we've ever done, and that's saying a lot!"

Watertown— During the cold winter months, it's vital to know how to care for your pets. When the temperature drops, dogs and cats want to be just as warm and comfortable as you.
According to Veterinarian Dr. Christopher Jank of the Watertown Animal Hospital, snow and especially salt residue from snow plows can cause quite a bit of irritation to a dog's paw, so it's important to keep paws clean from ice, snow and salt build up. "Some breeds are simply not used to the snow and cold weather. You might need to invest in a jacket for your dog, especially when taking them outside", said Dr. Jank. "Animals can get frostbite if they do not get shelter. An outdoor cat will sometimes get frostbite, I have seen them lose a part of their ears."
Dr. Jank has some simple precautionary measures when caring for your pets during winter months:
· Get your pets seen by a Vet and keep updated on check ups.
· Do not leave dogs in the car for lengthy periods of time, especially during extreme cold
weather conditions.
· If your dog is not used to cold weather, purchasing a jacket might be a wise investment.
· Always clean paws after walking outside in the snow, this will prevent skin irritation from ice,
snow and salt.
· Make sure your dog or cat has shelter from the cold.

The Catholic Civil Warrior - Patrick J Reilly, president of the Cardinal Newman Society

Kathleen Sebelius (FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/GettyImages) |
He makes Maureen Dowd of The New York Times angry. He makes Bill Donohue of the Catholic League stand up and cheer. And each and every May he reignites what some have come to call the "civil war" in the American Catholic Church.
His name is Patrick J. Reilly.
Reilly is the founder and president of a Washington group called the Cardinal Newman Society. For better or worse, Reilly is widely credited for pressuring Catholic colleges that invite speakers who may be Catholic but do not strictly adhere to church teaching.
The lighting rod this year is Kathleen Sebelius, who was invited to take part in Georgetown University's commencement ceremonies. The Irish American Sebelius (born Kathleen Gilligan in Cincinnati, the daughter of former Ohio governor John Gilligan) is currently Health and Human Services secretary and was the public face of the Obama administration's efforts to compel employers – including those who work for the Catholic Church – to pay for medical coverage which might include contraception.
The conflict outraged conservative Catholics, who slammed the Obama administration for assaulting religious liberty. The controversy catapulted New York's Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan to the
national stage.
Just this week, Dolan led a coalition of Catholic dioceses and colleges in a court challenge to the Obama administration.
The same sides of that debate were up in arms again this week, either defending or blasting Sebelius's selection as a speaker at Georgetown University, the oldest Jesuit institution in the U.S.
As David Gibson noted, writing for Religion News Service, "The Washington archdiocese issued a statement (calling) the Sebelius invitation a 'shocking' action that undermines the Catholic Church and supports the administration in what the hierarchy says is an unprecedented attack on religious freedom ... 'It's practically a civil war,' Michael Brendan Dougherty, politics editor at Business Insider and a Catholic, wrote on Wednesday."
That would make Patrick J. Reilly a civil warrior.
Those seeking change in the church, or hoping at least for debate on controversial issues, target the
Cardinal Newman Society as a defender of an excessively rigid theology that has alienated many Irish American Catholics.
"The latest kooky kerfuffle was sparked by the invitation to Kathleen Sebelius," Dowd wrote in the Times this week. "The silver-haired former Kansas governor is a practicing Catholic with a husband and son who graduated from Georgetown.
"But because she fought to get a federal mandate for health insurance coverage of contraceptives and morning-after pills, including at Catholic schools and hospitals, Sebelius is on the hit list of a conservative Catholic group in Virginia, the Cardinal Newman Society, which militates to bar speakers at Catholic schools who support gay rights or abortion rights."
As leader of the Newman Society, Reilly is surely glad to count Dowd as an enemy. And it is understandable that conservatives want to draw a line, lest Catholicism become so watered down we might as well all become Protestants.
So of course they shudder when they hear someone like Mario Cuomo say, "Christ is my religion, the church is not."
Reilly and others argue that the church and its teachings are timeless, and thus should not bend.
The problem is, the church has always bent and wavered and changed. And to say the Catholic Church is devoid of political debate and maneuvering is just silly.
There are many debates within the Vatican before the Pope speaks for all of the world's Catholics.
The pope himself is selected via a political process.
Meanwhile, here in the U.S., liberals and conservatives have to decide what kind of church will remain vibrant and relevant in the 21st Century.
The only way to do that is to engage in debate and discussion, and that includes inviting a diverse range of speakers to Catholic institutions.
Otherwise, there will barely be enough Catholics left to have a debate.

To continue with casualIMBA.... The 'evaporation' of private confessions? Not to my knowledge. Yes, some misguided parishes have 'general absolution services' but those are few and far between, and generally joined to the fulfillment of other requirements. in the 30 or so parishes in my Diocese the confessionals are still used, even if fewer people show up. But that's due to the lazyness of parishioners, not to a dispensation from the practice....I have no idea what the heck your babbling about the bellies of mothers and sisters is all about....As for the Creed, there have always been several versions of it: the Nicene Creed, the Apostles Creed, and I forget what the other one is called. Except for shorter or longer forms, they all say the same doctrinally, and all can be recited. Nothing in them has changed.... The doctrines of the Church are in fact immutable! That is precisely what distinguishes the CC from every other heretical and ever-changing post-reform, finger-to-the-wind sects, where every pastor is a pope, and every person believes in his own interpretation of whatever verse he happens to read.

Back at you casualIMBA [which must stand for IAmBlatantlyAnticatholic]. Trying to read your post I came to the conclusion the one who needs the chill pill is you. Your blurb is mostly incoherent..... Are the changes you mention --the ones marginally understandable-- 'DOCTRINAL in nature?' The only thing you accomplish here is to show your breathtaking ignorance of Catholicism! Let's examine the issues one by one: St. Christopher... it's quite possible that in a Church with 2000 years of history the early practitioners might have been carried away by their piety. The Church simply. and rightfully, corrected that....Belief in limbo, was never an article of faith, such as the belief in the Trinity, or the divinity of Jesus. Google 'Catholic Encyclopedia' for a full tutorial on the matter.... Latin Mass, please! Nothing more than a tradition which contributed to the uniformity and universality of the Church. The Church is so extended that whether one went to China or Timbuktu the words still made sense to anyone, even if they did not speak the local language. At one point it was decided people might be better served in the vernacular, simple as that.

helmet365, the Church is dying? Try telling that to the 1.2 billion plus people who count themselves a Catholic. Plus to the 500 thousand or so who convert yearly to the CC..... Sure, among them there may be some 300 million who are CINOs; another 400 million who practice their faith without much conviction. They are what is called cultural and habitual Catholics.... That still leaves some 600 million who cherish their faith and practice it willingly.... Out of those, there must certainly be some 100 million people who are actually 'saints.' These are the people who sustain and keep the Church alive with their lives, example and heroic virtues..... Compare and contrast that to the fragmented and chaotic world of sectarianism and to the 'I want to impose MY OWN brand of spirituality-ism' people currently trying to dominate the faith dialogue. Those who think like you.... I'd venture to say you should still feel woefully outnumbered!....Much to your chagrin, the Church will survive INTACT, because Christ who founded it was neither confused about the solidity of His teachings nor, as God, unknowing of the prideful and rebellious nature of men and women who would, like you, try to make the Church in your own image, rather than God's.

Take a chill pill, Chilla....St. Christoper, Limbo, meat on Friday, the Latin Mass, the evaporation of private confessions, the bellies of our mothers, sisters, and daughters since "The Pill," A 1700 YEAR CREED, a "PRACTICED" IN BELIEF CREED, ARBITRARILY CHANGED!!!...PLEASE, do not suggest our Church is immutable...Somehow, we manage to retain (despite proximate flourishes) the KEY concept of "I am NOT worthy," though, before approaching Our Redeemer's sacrament...let us not address things such as self esteem or modern medical science, though...this would be RADICAL Catholicism

The Church must change or die. The Pope,Dolan,O'Rielly to name a few are just speeding up the dying process. History will remember them as small minded people. The Church does not allow thinkers to develop beyond a certain level,even the heriachy, if they do they are accused of heracy or commiting sin.

And BTW Deignan, your description of Patrick J. Reilly as 'most influential, confrontational, controversial Irish Catholic you've never heard of' is way off. --- He is WELL KNOWN to the great majority of Catholics truly interested in having those so called "Catholic colleges and schools" our ancestors worked so hard to build with their meager earnings as immigrants,
get back to their Catholic roots, rather than opportunistically use the 'Catholic' designation only to discredit the faith, and/or to attract the unwary.--- I'm sure our great grandparents are rolling in their grave seeing their effort nullified by rogue priests and lib secularist infiltrators, who have been indoctrinating several generations by posing as 'Catholic schools'. Their struggle to liberate us from religious discrimination and harassment at the hand of the 'Know Nothing' controlled public system culminated in handing to us the greatest education system in the US, because they intended for their children to learn the orthodoxy of the faith. Instead, those schools have been overtaken by rabidly anti-religious secularists. --- Reilly is working to unmask the saboteurs and infiltrators, and to withdraw the Catholic accreditation from those who misuse the name. Good for him!!

From the NYT Lib-a-Diva Dowd:
"The silver-haired former Kansas governor is a practicing Catholic..." Wait.. so now Dowd is the 'authority' on who IS a 'practicing Catholic'? -- Newsflash to Dowd: Before writing your 'dogmatic' columns, take a look at the Catechism of the CC and see where your determination of 'practicing Catholic' lies. Sebelius is NO CATHOLIC. She excommunicated herself eons ago when she advocated for abortion on demand, and was a fervent defender of 'Tiller the killer' who killed thousands of babies just before birth... before being killed himself!

I can't understand why the people who do not like the laws of our catholic religion want us to allow them to change the laws as we go along. The solution for them should be very clear you can get out and find a religion that suits your way of thinking. I like mine the way it is and will do all I can to keep it that way.

I was hoping to find something more of a TX winter shoe than the original style crocks I have been wearing for the past 10 years. Sadly, these are NARROW. I couldn't begin to get my foot into them.. I felt like Cinderella's ugly stepsister. I really wish y'all would make some fabric/canvas SHOES (not clogs) on the original base. None of the ones I ordered have the width in the toe box that my "super-wide size 6.5" foot requires. Though I cannot answer for comfort or durability, I am giving 2 stars for the design which seems to be lacking quite a bit for Rx crocs.

I read the reviews, ordered a sz up. however, 9 is a hair to big for me. tried the 8's at one point and those were too tight. They are comfortable, but I will be returning as my heel slips out when walking. Plus, I can't say I'm a fan of the upper material. I also purchased the Walu canvas loafers. Love those, so I think I'll switch to a black pair in those instead. Over all, not a bad shoe, just not for me.

Mostly in July 2012 Advance supple exams may be conducted.
if u leave the subjects & apply for CMM,PC it takes 15 to 30 days to get the memo's where as if u write the advance supple then it may take few more days as advance supple may be conducted in July 2012 & it may take lot of days to get the memo's.
yes wen ever u want u can apply for grace marks.
i got 34 marks in one subject
can i get grace marks for passing the exam
Hey, Admin ! I recently gave my 4-1 supplementary exam, IS and ES(IT). Now that 4-2 results are released, I am in a dilemma whether to drop those two subjects or no. By what time will 4-1 supplementary results be out ? And can I drop those two subjects now, after the official JNTU notification is released or I have to wait till 4-1 supple results come out and then apply for drop. Could you be kind enough to sort this out for me.
And also PC and CMM will be dispatched after I receive 216 credits ? I have 216 credits now. Could you also please tell me by what time will I receive my PC and CMM if I apply for drop now and if I drop after 4-1 suppli results.
Thank you in advance, Admin.
Best Regards,
Bharath Kurmama
No u can't apply for grace marks.because at a maximum of 3 marks can be added under the grace marks rule.
can u mention the internal & external marks.
If u are in a urgent need of CMM,PC then submit the undertaking form & u can get the PC,CMM. or else wait untill the 4-1 supple results are released. if at all if u fail after 4-1 supple exams then also u can apply for exception of 2 subjects rule & u can leave those 2 subjects. i would suggest u to wait untill 4-1 results are released.
