Despite the fact that social ad spend is expected to double by 2016 and analysts are increasingly bullish on native social ads, search continues to be the go-to channel for advertisers looking to drive ROI.
The record-breaking holiday shopping season is making that abundantly apparent. While sales driven by social referrals have thus far been miniscule, early analysis of Black Friday sales data by search and analytics consulting firm NetElixer finds that search ads are killing it.

Digital and multichannel retailers were able to lure consumers into spending record amounts online this year despite a difficult economic landscape.
But there's more good news for online retailers: according to a survey conducted by Baynote, consumers were pretty darn happy with their online holiday shopping experiences.

There's a lot of talk about multichannel retail at the moment, and on the surface, most of the largest retailers in the U.S. seem to 'get it'.
But that might not be the case according to Gartner's newly released Multichannel Forecast for the US and the UK report. In fact, providing a seamless, consistent multichannel experience "business as usual" has retailers in the US "struggling" it says.

As of mid-December 2011, six of the largest online spending days ever in the United States had been seen during the holiday shopping season.
So it's not surprising that the holiday shopping season of November and December of last year proved to be the biggest ever.
According to comScore, the total haul for online retailers was a whopping $37.2bn, up 15% from the prior year.

Online and multichannel retailers pulled out their big guns in an effort to entice shoppers to open their wallets this holiday shopping season.
Early sales and heavy discounts figured prominently in their strategies, leading some to wonder whether they'd do too much, too early, leading to a drop-off in sales as the season progressed.
We quickly learned that the strong start sparked by Thanksgiving Day sales didn't apear to have a negative impact on Black Friday, and a strong Black Friday didn't stop consumers from spending on Cyber Monday.
But how are things going now?

Would a Thanksgiving and Black Friday push that saw retailers pushing online deals as hard as they were pushing offline deals have a negative impact on Cyber Monday?
Some retail industry observers argued that retailers eager to make Black Friday a multichannel event might simply shift purchases that would have come on Cyber Monday.
Holiday shoppers sprinted to snatch up bargains last week, so were the cautious observers right?

Purchasing stuff online is super convenient, and that explains why online retail is a multi-billion dollar a year market that continues to grow.
But if there's one thing that isn't always convenient about buying online, it's delivery. Depending on how your package is sent and what's being sent, if you're not home, you might miss your package and be forced to wait another day (or two).

The Sodexo Team at Gonzaga believes sustainable practices are an important part of the dining program on campus. To learn more, please view our Sustainability Initiatives electronic document that contains information about specific initiatives on campus.
The Gonzaga Dining Team Planned 30 WAYS IN 30 DAYS to increase efforts and awareness relating to sustainability. Please click links below to learn more!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our ZAG PASS donation drive at the end of fall semester. Thanks to your generosity, we gave Gonzaga's Campus Kitchens enough resources to provide 670 meals to hungry people in our own neighborhood.
We are always working on ways to increase our sustainability efforts. If you have ideas on things we can try, please contact Chuck Faulkinberry at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sodexo is dedicated to corporate citizenship and sustaining our planet. Our goals are to focus on the environment, economy and society as a whole through various efforts. We are working to make our campus dining and retail operations more earth-friendly.
We have implemented the following programs to improve your environment, economy and society:
We work hard to get as many ingredients locally as possible. Our professionally-trained chefs write our menus to take advantage of the fresh fruits and vegetables that are naturally in season in the Northwest. More information, including a map showing local farms where we buy things from, will be added to this site soon!

part of its commitment to increase the sustainability of its operations,
Dining Services uses Ecolab's Apex™ dishwashing system. Apex combines technology
and products designed to save water and energy, minimize the impact of products
on the environment, and has a built-in method of measuring results. Apex
uses a unique combination of detergents, rinse additives, equipment and
consultative services to address the operational challenges in foodservice
operations. The Apex management approach uses a tablet PC and wireless technology
to communicate with the system's controller to download, process and analyze
data to establish each foodservice operation's "rack-to-guest ratio." By
monitoring and improving this ratio, the system helps reduce the amount
of water and energy used at each facility, and improve total operational
All locations will receive the benefits of using less water, energy and
labor, thus minimizing their operations' overall impact on the environment.
In addition, the Apex system further supports Dining Services' sustainability
initiatives with non-caustic chemistry and 95% less packaging material than
current methods. Apex products come in a compact solid form that significantly
reduces transportation shipments compared to bulkier liquid detergents.
XPressnap dispensers are another solution to reducing energy and waste. They save 30% in paper over traditional napkin dispensing mechanisms. The great thing about these dispensers is that they help the environment while helping to keep costs down. The napkins are made of 100% recycled paper and the dispenser will encourage customers to take (and waste) less napkins. Energy is saved because less power is used to recycle paper products than to create them from virgin material.
According to Xpressnap, enough is saved through utilizing recycle napkins to power 600 American homes for an entire year! More than half a million gallons of oil was saved – 38 tanker trucks worth – and 41 tons of pollutants were kept out of the environment. 4,131 cubic yards of paper were diverted from landfill space. This is enough to cover an entire football field with a two and a half foot deep stack of paper.

3.2 Poverty as natural/inevitable There is a construction of poverty that identifies it as a necessary feature of social life: some people will be better endowed, try harder or be more successful than others, and inequality will be an inevitable result (see, for example, Herrnstein and Murray, 1994, who argue that low levels of intelligence are the main determinants of poverty in the USA). Interfering with this natural order of things is dangerous, particularly because it prevents poverty acting as a spur to try harder. This

Osborne will need even-bigger cuts to stick to his plan
The Chancellor must find £48bn in extra spending cuts or tax rises to meet his main deficit target.
By Ian Mulheirn Published 13 November 2012 16:37The Autumn Statement is now just over three weeks away and a sense of déjà vu hangs over the scene. In the run up to the same event last year it was plain that poor economic performance meant that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) would be the bearer of bad news for the Chancellor. And so it is again.
After a grotty economic performance in 2011, last year's Autumn Statement was always going to deliver bad news. The Chancellor announced the need for a £15bn reduction in overall spending by 2016-17 in order to meet the government's fiscal mandate of eliminating the structural deficit in five years.
But that wasn't the whole story. Much social security spending is driven by things beyond the government's control: rising rents push up the housing benefit bill, and retiring baby boomers raise the overall cost of the basic state pension. So to constrain overall spending in the face of a rising benefits bill, the Treasury was implicitly seeking a further £11bn of savings. In total, the plan was then to find some £26bn in spending cuts – since tax rises weren't part of the plan – by 2016-17 in order to achieve the government's aims.
Unfortunately, this year things seem depressingly familiar. At the Budget, the OBR predicted that economic growth would be 0.8 per cent this year, but independent forecasters now think it will be more like a 0.3 per cent contraction. As a result, public borrowing is running 10 per cent above the OBR's March forecast. None of this is great news, but it wouldn't be so bad if the higher borrowing was a temporary reflection of the weakness in the economy that would resolve itself once things get back to normal. Unfortunately, the Social Market Foundation's analysis – part of a joint report produced with the RSA yesterday - shows that this doesn't seem to be the case. At least not according the models the OBR uses.
Unemployment has been falling for most of this year. While that's a good news story in itself, it implies that the economy may have moved closer to its capacity. But with less far to bounce back, a bigger chunk of this year's £122bn underlying annual government borrowing will remain when output finally does reach its full capacity. And the only way to fill that hole is to close the gap between revenue and spending.
Our analysis, using the OBR methodology, suggests that getting the government's Budget 2012 plans back on track would require a further £22bn of spending cuts or tax rises by 2017-18. The Chancellor has some room to ease up on his plans and still hit his mandate, but whatever way you look at it, the OBR's models suggest that a lot more fiscal pain is on the way. Combined with the cuts already planned, the total size of the task after 2014 could be £48bn by 2017-18.
If the Chancellor sticks to his plan to keep taxes unchanged and cut £10.5bn from the social security budget, most of the work will be done by cuts in public services. That would require 11 per cent real-terms budget reductions in every department over the first three years of the next parliament. And if health, education and international development spending were to be protected, the impact elsewhere would rise to an eye-watering 23 per cent.
All of this would come on top of the spending squeeze that's already underway and planned to run until 2015. The consequences of the eight years of cuts would be to decimate spending in some areas, with some departments over 40 per cent smaller once the public finances are back to balance.
It must be hoped that the OBR's models are wrong in their implications and that the economy is in fact still some distance from its potential level. But if the OBR's advice follows it past form, the news will be grim, requiring cuts that will run deep into next parliament. Against a background of four years' unprecedented cuts, a further squeeze on anything like the scale implied by the SMF's analysis will represent the central issue at the next election, forcing on the electorate stark decisions about the kind of public services we want in the UK.
But we mustn't have a re-run of the 2010 election, in which the three parties connived in presenting vague plans and disingenuous language to mask the scale of the problem. Osborne made a bold decision in setting up the independent OBR. Perhaps, before the next election he should make another, and require it publicly to adjudicate on the detail and viability of each of the main parties' plans. If the electorate is to choose, it must be informed.

Just read excellent article Duncan Grant in New Left Review (Nov 2012) which explains the global economic crisis and he calls for a Global Minimum Wage which sounds a great idea. He further suggests a tax on derivative transactions (an "industry" worth 700tr dollars ) which also sounds a great idea. He further comes up with suggestions for imaginative and productive investment such as 100b dollars on electric cars and re-charging faculties plus 100b dollars on genetic engineering - the former helping the economy and environment - the latter helping humanity and the economy. Some really fresh thinking here and I highly recommend this article. Would also be good to have a Shorter global working week and earlier retirement so humanity can have more time to enjoy the planet and life!

Given the Tories fondness for using the analogy of a household budget as justification for their cuts - can they tell us the last time a householder said "never mind the money you owe me, I'll let the kids starve instead" (Because apparently that how normal householders think - according to Gideon)
WHY doesn't he tax the super rich in one fell swoop and he would get near to clearing the deficit? WHY doesn't he call for the banks to be nationalised to stop the rot of paying gross amounts of interest to them for looking after the taxpayer's money? WHY doesn't he REALLY manage the money himself? Or is this asking too much of our Chancellor?
Does anyone have a view on Hollande's disasterous first 6 months, his realisation that France is in a big mess that has largely been suppressed by government and his attempts to restart his presidency around UK Coalition style openness, economic reforms and fiscal tightening?
Lucky for the UK, by the time the French people emotionally come to terms with their predicament, we will be 3 to 4 years ahead of them in terms of the reforms to the economy.
About time we went Greek!
Does it ever appear to these guys that in the long run if you get vulnerable / ordinary people to pay for the mistakes of the push boys at the top is not going to give result!?
History has shown that it does get a result - revolution. "Off with their heads!" Poor old Charles I, poor old French Aristocrats, poor old Gang of Four, poor old Cauczescu. Who in the world might be next for the chop? Push the people too far and you get an uprising.
As usual this Tory Led Coalition will rob the weakest in society that do not have a voice, the sick, disabled, vulnerable and poorest in society.
It would not surprise me in the slightest if this Tory Led Coalition gives the richest in society yet another Tax Break like they did in the last budget whilst laughing at some of the biggest companies in this country avoiding their corporate taxes.
Why is it that I think this Government and associates are sticking their two fingers up at us Plebs. We are totally irrelevant in their Big Selfish Game.
They might not have a voice, but they still have their pitchforks.
Yeah, I bet those CEOs at Google, Amazon, Starbucks, Vodaphone etc., are absolutely bricking it at the thought of Gideon and his bully boy storm troopers at HMRC hunting then down.
Then again, perhaps it's the elderly, the poor and the disabled who need to be worried.
Compassionate Conservatism.

Swansea police are looking for four suspects who burglarized the Huck's convenience store in broad daylight.
Just after 9 a.m. Monday, two male and two female suspects, all wearing black clothes, came into the store at 4590 N. Illinois St. One of the suspects distracted the manager on duty at the automatic teller machine while two suspects broke into the office at the rear of the store. The fourth suspect served as a lookout during the theft, said Police Chief Mike Arnold.
The burglary seemed a "little odd," Arnold said, since the suspects seemed to know what the manager would be doing at that time.
"It wasn't a typical robbery or a typical theft," he said. Investigators are looking into if the theft was an inside job by a former or current Huck's employee.
It is unclear how the suspects gained entry to the manager's office. "Although the manager's door was locked prior to the incident, there were no signs the door was forced open by the suspects," Arnold said.
Arnold did not release the exact amount of money stolen, but he called it a large sum of money that included weekend sales.
Following the theft, all four suspects exited the store and entered a dark gray or green colored van, possibly with out-of-state plates, and were last seen traveling north on North Illinois Street, police said.
No weapons were displayed and no injuries were reported, Arnold said.
The manager and one store employee were working at Huck's when the robbery occurred. Police are not sure if any customers were in the store or pumping gas at the time of the theft.
Police did not release surveillance footage of the suspects because it was poor quality.
However, police released the following descriptions of the male suspects: a black man, about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall with a shaved or bald head, wearing a black pea coat and jeans ripped at the knees; and a black man wearing a black knit cap, black pea coat, light colored shirt and blue jeans.
Arnold said one of the females was described as a black woman about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 140 pounds, wearing a short, burnt orange hairpiece, a black Harley-Davidson jacket with a white stripe down the arms and across the chest, blue jeans and boots. The second female was described as black, heavyset, with straight hair that was longer on the right than the left, and wearing glasses, a waist length leather coat, a white shirt with yellow trim at the neckline, blue jeans and knee high boots.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Swansea Police Department at 618-233-8114.

Leo clubs are an affiliation of Lions clubs. Leo clubs cannot exist without the approval of a Lions club sponsor.
Leos work with their sponsoring Lions club to help communities address unmet needs. The Leo Club Program offers two club types, a two-track approach, and involves a financial obligation.
Lions clubs interested in sponsoring a Leo club can follow step by step directions on preliminary procedures, organizing a new club, and launching the club.
There are two types of Leo clubs, community-based and school-based, and all Leo clubs must be sponsored by a Lions club.
The Leo Club Program offers a two-track approach to better help the needs of club members: Alpha and Omega.
All Leo clubs must declare their club as either Alpha or Omega Leo Clubs. Track specific materials will be mailed to each club.
The Leo club organization fee is US$100 or the national currency equivalent. This one-time fee includes:
NOTE: If there are more than 20 originating members in the new Leo club, each additional member is assessed the new member fee of US$5 and provided with a new member kit. This fee is charged to the sponsoring Lions club at the time of certification (in addition to the US$100 Leo club organization fee).
Lions clubs are also responsible for the annual Leo club sponsor levy of US$100 or the national currency equivalent. The levy pays for Leo Club Program materials, mailings, club record maintenance, communications, awards, e-LeoClubhouse, MyLCI for Leos, and other program resources.
NOTE: If a Leo club is canceled, the Leo Club Termination Form (Leo-86) must be received by the Youth Programs Department by October 31 to receive levy credit for the current year only.
Changes to Leo Club Program Fees in FY 2013-2014
In an effort to maintain pace with the ongoing growth and development of the Leo Club Program and to simplify the formation and sponsorship of Leo clubs, the Lions Clubs International Board of Directors recently completed a thorough review of the fee structure and approved the following changes to Leo Club Program fees:
The changes to the Leo Club Program fee structure will make it easier for Lions clubs to charter and sponsor Leo clubs, allow LCI to continue offering program resources that have been developed over the past several years, and help the association strengthen the Leo Club Program, ensuring its health for generations of young leaders to come. For more information about the changes to Leo Club Program fees, please refer to the Leo Fees Fact Sheet.
Step 1
Request a free Organization Kit from the Youth Programs Department.
Step 2
Arrange a meeting with Lions club members to explain the responsibilities of Leo club sponsors. Explain that every Leo club must have an advisor. This advisor must be a Lion member of the sponsoring Lions club who enjoys working with young people. School-based Leo clubs often require a teacher or school administrator to serve as co-advisor.
Step 3
Appoint three or more Lions to serve on a Leo club committee.
Step 4
Determine if the new Leo club will operate in conjunction with a local school, church, or other community group. Often, outside agencies require the appointment of their own club leader or advisor. This agency must agree to fulfill Leo Club Program responsibilities.
Step 5
Obtain the names of potential Leos from schools, houses of worship, youth groups, and friends and relatives of Lions club members.
Step 1
Announce the day and date for a Leo club formation meeting. Inform local young people about this meeting through notices sent to schools, religious youth groups, community programs, and the local media.
Step 2
The organization meeting should explain the philosophy of the Leo Club Program. Lions should be prepared to answer questions concerning: requirements for Leo club membership, the relationship to the sponsoring Lions club, and activities undertaken by Leos.
Step 3
Distribute the Application for Membership. The sponsoring Lions club can then submit a signed Leo Club Organization Report and the Leo club organization fee of US$100, or national currency equivalent, to the Youth Programs Department at international headquarters. Only registered Leo clubs will receive a Leo club charter and Leo membership materials.
Step 4
After review of the applications by Lions, the new Leos can vote to accept:
Step 1 – Plan the Installation Ceremony
Together, the Leo club officers and Lions on the Leo Advisory Committee plan the Leo installation ceremony as outlined in the Leo Club Officer Installation and New Member Initiation.
Step 2 – Ceremony Invites
Invitees to the ceremony should include:
Step 3 – The Ceremony
The highest-ranking Lions official presents the Leo Certificate of Organization to the club officers and the Leo club members receive their new member kits.

I was excited to get my Combat powder in the mail yesterday and give it a try.
It smelled just like banana laffy taffy and that was a good start.
I wanted to try it plain first off so I used 12 oz of water and added ice to bring it up to 2 full cups. With that much liquid and 2 scoops it was a little watered down but the flavor was still good with no aftertaste.
The wife also tasted it and said it was the best banana flavored protein she has tried.

Head to the thriving metropolis of Shanghai for gleaming skyscrapers, tree-lined avenues, colonial restaurants and trendy bars. Sip cocktails on The Bund whilst looking across the river at the futuristic Pudong skyline. Or discover quirky boutiques on the shady boulevards of the French Concession.
You can broadly divide Shanghai into Pudong and Puxi districts (east and west of the Huangpu River). There was almost nothing in Pudong in the early 1990s, but its ultra-modern skyscrapers now form one of the world's most spectacular skylines. On the other side of the river, you'll find The Bund area, home to many of China's best international restaurants. Further west is the French Concession with its Parisian architecture and tree-lined avenues. Head south of The Bund for the Old City's typical Shanghai brick shikumen townhouses and the classical 16th-century Chinese Yu Garden.
Savour international flavours and fine wines at one of the restaurants on The Bund as you gaze out over the neon-lit Pudong skyline. Take the lift 862 feet up the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower for stunning city views, or a boat trip down the Huangpu River to get your bearings. Relax with Chinese tea and dumplings in the ornate Yu Garden, which dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Then discover the funky boutiques of the French Concession area. At sunset head to Xintiandi for chic late-night shopping, glitzy bars and outdoor gourmet Chinese cuisine.
Immerse yourself in Ancient China's culture at the fascinating Shanghai Museum on large, open People's Square. Or head to the Moganshan Lu, Shanghai's artists' quarter that brims with small galleries. Savour Shanghai's xiaolongbao speciality dumplings in the Old City and wander down Shanghai's traditional alleyways lined with brick shikumen houses. At nightfall, dine in one of the French Concession's many colonial-style restaurants, then head to a courtyard bar to sip gin and tonics under the stars.
The futuristic Shanghai Pudong International Airport, 31 km from central Shanghai, is linked to the city by the world's fastest Magnetic Levitation train, which reaches speeds of over 290mph. The Mag-Lev, which cost US$1.2 billion to build, takes just eight minutes to get to Longyang Road Metro Station on the eastern end of Line Two.

ZorroCalifornia 3.6/5 rDev -7.9% look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5 Reads the description, "What the Hell DFH! You trying to create a Hop Powered Black Hole!" True story. Clear amber colored beer with a small white colored head. Smells like a Hop Supernova. Scents of lemon and citrus with some strong tea aromas. Strong lemon rind and some grassy scents. Mild scent for what it is. Starts out slightly earthy. Flavor is much like the smell, citrus and strong tea. Quite mild flavored considering all the hops that went in to it. Distinctly not a hophead beer. Flavor doesn't change very much pretty straightforward IPA with a really high alcohol level. Mouthfeel is good. Overall an OK beer, just not super complex. Serving type: bottle 12-03-2013 01:11:02 | More by Zorro thecheapiesPennsylvania 3.73/5 rDev -4.6% look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75 Amber colored brew with a white cap of head with good lacing performance. Rather dry aroma with toasty malts and citrusy hops. Picking up on the lemon flesh and some piny-ness. There are some flowery hop cone notes next to the subtle dankness of the citrus and herbal whiffs. There's a booziness that heightens the lemon flesh addition. Hoppiness is leafy, yet dank, with bold pine and citrus notes. There's an interesting woodiness, too, almost like a cedar wood. Malts are pretty big with semi-dry tone and caramel malts with an edgy toast. Booze holds the complexity down a little. The finish is a little spicy and long. The carbonation is a little low and has trouble catching up. The body feels pretty good, although there is some stickiness. This DIPA suffers from trying too hard to have it nailed down with the simple flavors. Still good, but it would've worked better with a paler malt base. Serving type: bottle 11-24-2013 04:53:54 | More by thecheapies Samuel906California 4.04/5 rDev +3.3% look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25 Pours a perfectly translucent golden orange with a clingy off white head. Head quickly dissipates but leaves some clinging to the glass. Good looking beer. Smell is pretty typical IPA but a little more subdued than I would expect / like. Hops, malt, some pine, lots of citrus, and I keep feeling like I detect a touch of cider vinegar, but not in a bad way. Taste is all about the lemon. It is not "sour" lemon but instead lemon zest giving it a slightly bitter character. Great hop presence. Not very sweet, just a touch of some honey sweetness. Feel is fantastic, light and crisp with moderate carbonation. It does not feel syrupy or sticky like some of DFH's other heavy hitting IPAs. Exceedingly easy to drink and shocked me when I read it was 10%. Overall a terrific beer, again reinforcing DFH's mastery of the IPA style. Serving type: bottle 11-23-2013 06:03:33 | More by Samuel906 MattyBonesNew York 4.01/5 rDev +2.6% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Had a big bottle of this last night before a concert. Just like most DFH brews they definitely don't hold back on the alcohol. Appearance: Deep copper with a slight reddish tint to it. Pored a thick white head. Smell: A mixture of malts, pine and some orange/tangerine and lemon. Taste: Not too bitter, some pine and citrus notes up front then finishes with a lemony aftertaste mixed with alcohol. Mouthfeel: Not as syrupy as I expected like DFH's beers usually have to them with the higher alcohol content. Not harsh on the palate at all, but definitely leaves the taste of lemon in your mouth. Overall: Another solid DFH offering, definitely worth giving it another try. Serving type: bottle 11-15-2013 20:28:41 | More by MattyBones superspakMichigan 4/5 rDev +2.3% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 750 ml bottle into signature tulip glass, bottled in 2012A. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy orange amber color with a dense 1-2 finger cream colored head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, orange peel, lemon peel, tangerine, orange rind, floral, grass, light pine, caramel, bread, toast, and floral earthiness. Very nice aromas with good complexity and balance of citrus hops and malt notes; with good strength. Taste of grapefruit, orange peel, lemon peel, tangerine, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Good amount of earthy floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, orange peel, lemon peel, tangerine, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity and balance of citrus hop and malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately slick, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice DIPA, even at over a year old. Very nice complexity and balance of centennial hop, lemon peel, and malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the big ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Sadly an older bottle, so I am getting some oxidized hop aromas. A malty backbone that stands tall with a nice dose of lemon. Fresh I bet this would be an all-star. Lemon lemon lemon and biscuit malt with a hint of the oxidized hops. Again I need to find a fresh bottle. Firm bitterness on finish which releases wonderful citric flavors. Devilishly drinkable, wonderful nuances with the citrus. I wonder when this hellhound will track me down. Great experience, will be tracking down a freshy of this deceptively quaffable elixir. Serving type: bottle 10-18-2013 13:36:44 | More by welldigger888 JackMcAwesomeFlorida 4.05/5 rDev +3.6% look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 I'm giving this one fours across the board. Let me tell you why... The bottle is a 750ml with a pretty awesome label. It's THE GREAT Robert Johnson with his guitar bookended with some creepy trees, and behind Mr. Johnson is the hell hound that is on his trail. I'll be keeping this one and putting it on the shelf. It pours an extremely hazy, gold. It gives a pretty solid one finger head with a moderately aggressive pour. The lacing so far seems paramount. Smell: My first though was it smelled exactly like Pledge. I felt like I had just cleaned a table or something. That wasn't good, so I dug deeper as the brew warmed up. It could be that I have wood on my mind now, but their is a woody texture to it. So, we have lemon and wood. There's another spice there though, that I can't quite put my finger on just yet. It might be something as simple as pepper. Taste: Definitely a pepper kick. Like ground black pepper. The lemon is there as well, and it still kind of reminds me of Pledge. As terrible as that might sound, I'm taking it as something unique, and although a DIPA, I'm really liking how it isn't a typical DIPA combo. There's also a dry grass flavor to it, and this is all balanced pretty well with a sweet malt finish. Which again, with the lemon/alcohol start, makes for a pretty unique finish, at least to me. Feel: The alcohol is present, in the sense of it's warmth and effects. Hidden nicely though. It's fairly carbonated, making this fairly light feeling. Very nice drink for a warm evening. Overall: Although not perfect by a long shot, this was just awesome to drink. The 10% got the buzz going, it had enough of a hop kick to give it an awesome bitter level, the lemon was a very unique addition making this a very specific beer. I'm currently listening to the absolutely perfect Robert Johnson as I review this, and it's making the whole experience surreal. Listen to Robert Johnson. Drink this beer. And let it all envelop you. Nothing has compared to it so far. If it didn't trigger the Pledge connotations, this would have been straight across fives from me. I'm not sure what they could do to fix that, but with everything else being perfect, I'll take it. I want more! Serving type: bottle 10-12-2013 23:12:52 | More by JackMcAwesome PorterLambicFlorida 4.19/5 rDev +7.2% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 Pours like unpasteurized cider, nice and cloudy with a solid, long lasting, off-white/light tan head. Nice lace. Smell is piney with a light herbal hop behind, some malt, faint spice note. Good balance. Taste is solid DIPA, herbal/pine hops, malt, light citrus, light spice. Very nice, well balanced. Medium plus bodied, light effervescence. Warming, faint amount of drying at the end. A solid, delicious. I want more. Serving type: bottle 10-10-2013 23:57:17 | More by PorterLambic brewdlyhooked13Ohio 4.06/5 rDev +3.8% look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.75 Appearance - pours a turbid yellow-orange. Lots of bead action, and lots of manila colored, sticky foam. Aroma - caramel, biscuity malt, dark citrusy fruit, and after a few seconds, sweet lemon. Nice combo of aromas and while it fades a bit after setup, it's all still there. Taste - pithy orange and grapefruit counter a chewy malty base. Sweet, heavy-handed grain offset by two-year old hops which obviousky no longer come across with the 100 IBU punch they packed in 2011. No matter, the hops are delicious, the lemon provides a nice extra layer on the aftertaste. The finish goes to a dry, lemon peel and hop bitterness end. Mouthfeel - full-bodied, fluffy with considerable heaviness in both weight and oiliness. Overall - a fine tribute beer to RJ. If I had another, I'd be sure to share with my buds, but this is Bogartski night. Serving type: bottle 09-26-2013 02:45:32 | More by brewdlyhooked13 Matthew_TaylorCalifornia 3.49/5 rDev -10.7% look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5 A specialty ale from Dogfish Head, a brewery that I expect near-perfection from. Robert Johnson's Hellhound On My Ale (a long, long name) pours a cloudy, rich amber. The beer has little to no transparency. The head when poured is a cloudy white, foamy, and measures about a quarter inch. Smell is a bit hoppy, with hints of sweetness and lemon rind. The nose dissipates quickly, having little effect on the taste. Taste is lacking here, with a hoppy flavor that borders on overboard, and very little effect from the lemon. Mouthfeel is consistent with other Dogfish entries, but is affected by the lacking taste. A good sample, but not the excellence I've come to expect from Dogfish.

I poured it from a 1-pint and 9.4 fl. oz. bottle into an English Pub glass and put on some of the obviously apropos Robert Johnson. A: The brew had a bigger head than I was expecting, and it retained at a nice level after it slowly settled. There was a thin 1-inch piece of debris, which I presume came out of the bottle and floated up with the head. I was unable to identify it, but it looked like a blade of grass or something of that sort. S: I got a nice and strong lemon/hop smell as soon as I opened the bottle. As I poured, the scent diversified to a combination of citrus and herbal notes. The scent is typical for a DIPA, but has is a bit more interesting because of the sweeter, fruitier aroma. T: It has a strong grapefruit/lemon zest flavor up front and an intense hop presence throughout. The flavor is indicative of the liberal hopping described on the bottle. There is a little bit of heat from the alcohol at the end, but it is surprisingly subtle. M: It feels a bit thicker than the average DIPA, but it is pleasant, and I do not have any complaints w/r/t mouthfeel. O: I liked this brew a lot. The flavor was complex, the pour was very attractive, and it was a unique foray into the style. It fit nicely into what I have come to expect from a Dogfish Head IPA.

Nose is ripe with citrus hops. Maybe a touch of lemon, but it's subtle. Taste is nicely bitter and hoppy, with a tinge of detectable sour lemon. Not bad, but definitely underwhelming for the 10% ABV (not too obvious) and relatively high price for this bottle (around $15). Wouldn't revisit again, unless I knew it was quite fresh.

Good head on the pour and moderate head retention. Effervescent carbonation. Aroma is grapefruit hop, apricots, and a definite lemon presence. Very smooth mouthfeel. I would never guess that this was 10%. The grapefruit flavored hops are on the front of the palate. There's just a hint of lemon in the flavor but it doesn't arrive until the aftertaste.

Smell is a hoppy citrus, very floral. Taste is deceivingly smooth. Pretty bitter, not much citrus zest to speak of. Lots of hop presence. Bit of a chalky after taste. Big, big mouthfeel. Interesting, but not worth the price.

Pours neat and with almost no head. Very subtle lemon on nose, but definitely you can taste lemon. Well balanced on overall mouthfeel. Hops and alcohol in the aftertaste. Definitely worth trying once.

The head retention is fantastic, and as the head settles, an enormous amount of creamy off-white lace is present on the sides of the glass. S: Aromas of caramel, cream, and brown sugar are most noticeable on the first sniff, with traces of white pepper, lemon, and alcohol in the background. As the beer settles a bit, aromas of lemon, bitter orange, pine, spruce, juniper berry, and grapefruit become more noticeable. T: Notes of lemon, bitter orange, kumquat, pine, spruce, juniper berry, peppermint, grapefruit, white pepper, heavy cream, caramel, brown sugar, and biscuit assault the palate. The finish is prickly, resinous, and laden with hoppy flavors of lemon, grapefruit, juniper berry, and pine, with just a hint of malty caramel and biscuit flavors to balance things out before peppery, prickly alcohol takes hold. M: Medium-to-full in body, but leaning considerably closer to the latter than to the former. This ale is decidedly off-dry and sticky. Carbonation is firm. Alcohol presence is relatively restrained for the style, but does become more intense on the finish. Still, it is neither harsh nor unpleasant. I would dare say this is one of the more drinkable DIPAs I've had in the past year. O: Even though Dogfish Head has produced plenty of IPAs and DIPAs, I'm really liking this one. I'm not quite sure it's on the level of Burton Baton, Squall, 90 Minute, or 120 Minute, but it is a very solid, likable example of the style. With this ale, the chances are that if you enjoy Dogfish Head's other DIPAs, then you will also like this one.

Along with these more bitter citrus smells are notes of some light caramel sweetness as well as hints of bready malts, some candied like sugar aromas, as well as a little bit of an herbal hop smell. Taste – The taste begins slightly sweeter with caramel and a sugared orange peel taste. While it starts sweeter there is certainly a presence of some nice grapefruit and herbal hop flavors upfront. As the taste advances the sugar dries some while some malt flavors of biscuit and a bit of a bready taste come to the tongue. All the while the bitter hoppiness of the brew gets stronger with an alcohol taste working its way onto the tongue. More grapefruit and lemon hop with a nice dose of an herbal hop taste mix with the malt and caramel to in the end leave a moderately citrus, bitter, but somewhat smoother taste to linger on the tongue. Mouthfeel – The body of the brew was on the medium to slightly lower side in terms of thickness for a brew of 10 % abv with a carbonation level that was just above normal. The two characteristics of the brew gave it a more crisp feel and helped make very drinkable. Overall – A smoother and rather easy drinking hopped brew with nice transitions between a sweetness upfront to a nice citrus hop base mixed with a little bit of boozy flavors and a decent malt backbone in the end. Quite tasty and rather easy drinking even at 10 % abv.

The aroma is good. It has a sweet pale and crystal malt scent along with a light bready character. The hop aroma is well pronounced and provides piney hop presence. The lemon zest is faint at best, but does add some extra complexity. The taste is good as well. It has a smooth, malty flavor that's sweet up front and finishes warm and bread-like. It's hoppy, but more balanced than anything else. The lemon flavor shows up in the finish and plays well off the hops. The mouthfeel is fine. It's a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This a terrific beer and an excellent tribute to Robert Johnson. I'm not sure he would like it, but I do.

Also a bready/ malty scent T- The alcohol is noted both in front and in back. Again, maltiness comes through more than you'd expect. Grapefruit plays out over any lemon in my opinion. The bitterness and high alcohol content is noted more than anything, to its detriment M-Carbonation abounds. Dry, slightly bitter and heavy on the alcohol O- A bit dissapointing based on Dogfishhead's description. A quality pour but not something I would actively seek out.

Leaves nice lacing as it slowly recedes back to the beer. The body is burnt orange with a nice haziness to it. S-Citrus forward beer for sure. You pick up the lemon but definitely get mango and grapefruit as the overall nose character. Cane sugar is in there as well. Malts are minimal masked by the huge citrus aroma. T-Malty up front with the rest of the palate being dosed with the hops. Has a nice balance throughout but finishes heavily bitter with the alcohol lingering in the aftertaste. Grapefruit and lemon are the main characters. The malt bill does a nice job to counteract the hops and definitely get those cara malts adding a whole grain bread crust taste. M-A chewy medium bodied brew. Low on the carbonation which might be good for this beer with such a high IBU. O-Very enjoyable beer overall. The alcohol comes in at the finish which does not leave the most pleasant aftertaste. Other than that a great beer that I am happy I tried and will pick up again.

Very little carbonation and a bit less of a finger of off white/eggshell head. Great look. S: Citrus & orange peel forward and getting a bit of the lemon in there too that Dogfish emphasized. Hoppy but not overly hoppy on the smell. Picking up some sweetness from the malts. As it warms up the lemons are becoming more pronounced. Lemon peel. T: Wow not what I was expecting at all. The hops take a back seat to the malts in this case. This does not taste like it smells at all. I can taste (and feel) all 10.0% of this beer and for me it detracts from the beer. Very malty and lacking in hops. Some bitterness at the end. M: Medium bodied, good mouthfeel. O: As a guitar player I was excited for this beer but was disappointed. From their description, the look, and the smell it was presented as a West Coast IPA. I was expecting way more presence from the hops especially considering its 100 IBUs. The 10.0% alcohol on this is real noticeable but maybe they wanted it this way ("Hellhound" theme?). I applaud DF for their experimentation but I'm not sure that this came out as well as some of us would have hoped.

Before downloading AutoPatcher for Windows XP SP3 (x86), I had installed all critical updates suggested by Windows Update. However, after running autopatcher.exe, AutoPatcher said there were 22 additional critical updates to install. To make sure, I checked Windows Update again: "No high-priority updates for your computer are available.". Could you, please, then, let me know why AutoPatcher wants to install the additional updates? Thank you.

Eleanor Camille Hoffman Cawthon, 71, of Pine Harbor, Ga. died April 13, 2013 at her home. A visitation was held on April 17 in Brunswick, Ga.
Mrs. Cawthon was born October 21, 1941 in Boca Grande.
She is survived by her husband of 49 years and six months, Edward Grover Cawthon; three sons, Gary (Heather) of Yulee, Andrew, Warrenton, Va., Thomas of Savannah, Ga., and one daughter Dr. Lara Bailey (William) of Pine Harbor; and five grandchildren.
Camille was a loving, generous wife and mother, who enjoyed raising her children and working in the nursery and children's Sunday School and Vacation Bible School in the churches she served over the years. Those churches most recently included Isle of Hope Baptist Church in Savannah, and Shellman Bluff Baptist.
She enjoyed teaching children and adults crafts, including ceramics and crochet. She traveled the world with her husband, wherever the job took them. Her daughter Lara was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands; son Andrew was born in Liverpool, England; the oldest and youngest boys were born in New Jersey.
In 1985 Camille christened what was at the time the largest container ship in the world, the "American Nebraska," on her maiden voyage to Savannah.
She lived a life of grace and humility, and endured a long illness with dignity and calm.

I read countless reviews on the Moon 300D and 100D. I have been using an Enlightened Audio 7000 MKIII (EAD) for the last 12 years. The new technology has changed tremendously I was told.
I now have both the Moon 300D and 100D with about a hundred hours on each. Now I realize that they are not fully broken in as Simaudio calls for 400 hours but I don't expect a great deal more difference. Could be wrong there but doubt it.
I must say that after $2400CDN I cannot honestly say that the music has improved. I have and always had full respect for Simaudio products. That has not changed. I have their P3 Preamplifier and Moon 310LP. Totally satisfying. I guess I'm just trying to say that for me the "ancient" EAD 7000 plays as spectacular as the Moon DAC's.
I bought a Bel Canto CD player with the retail of about $5000 when it was new and when I hauled up my old Arcam CD73T from the cellar and played it through the EAD 7000 all the music was there. It was there all the time.
New technology. For sure but I wouldn't do it again. I play music through a fine YBA Delta preamp and an $8800 YBA1 amplifier so the equipment is good.
How good does one have to go? How much more money? For me the game is done.
May I suggest a CD by Sara K. called "Made In The Shade" for some wonderful dynamic and original and listenable music.

Quotes from authors born on Dec 14th
In Hollywood, after you get a little success, the next thing you usually get is a divorce.
Dan Dailey
Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.
Vanessa Hudgens
If people don't like me for whatever I do, for being me, then that's too bad. I don't want to change to be something that I'm not for other people to like me.
Vanessa Hudgens
To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury in the Art of Peace.
Morihei Ueshiba

Piedmont Manufacturing Company Piedmont, Greenville County, South Carolina
The Piedmont Manufacturing Company, established by Henry Pinckney Hammett, helped spur the growth of the Southern textile industry after the Civil War. Hammett's company served as a model and inspiration for other entrepreneurs and investors, and led to the rapid development of Southern textile manufacturing in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
On April 30, 1873, Hammett organized and began serving as president of the Piedmont Manufacturing Company. Hammett's company initially had $75,000 of subscribed capital; by February 13, 1874, when the company was chartered by the state of South Carolina, its subscriptions had increased to $200,000. Construction began at Garrison Shoals, but the work was soon halted as subscribers withdrew from the project, seemingly in reaction to lingering financial effects of the Panic of 1873.
Hammett persevered, however, and work resumed on the factory by 1875. The loss of capital led him to emphasis frugality in the construction. He cut costs by having his own brick made and timber cut; in order to purchase the necessary machinery, he induced the Whitin Machine Works of Massachusetts to accept partial payment in the form of Piedmont stock. Piedmont Number One was a four-story brick factory on a an L-shaped floor plan. It was put into operation in 1876 with a water wheel providing power for 5000 spindles and 112 looms. In 1888, Hammett had another factory, Piedmont Number Two, built on the west bank of the Saluda River. Piedmont Number One was enlarged in 1880 and again in 1900.
Hammett constructed his factory where the water power was located; this was not, however, an area of dense population. Necessarily, therefore, his enterprise entailed the creation of a town to house his employees. Also named Piedmont, the company town included houses for employees, schools, churches, and other buildings. No philanthropic motive should necessarily be ascribed to the creation of such a mill village, however; as Hammett himself remarked, in an address before the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society in 1881:
"the main object in building a mill by those who put their money into it, is the prospective profits upon the investments; there may be the laudable desire to give employment to the people and benefit the community - the latter is always incidental and secondary, if at all."
The Piedmont Manufacturing Company was very successful; when Hammett died in 1891, Piedmont was one of the largest textile mills in the world. The prosperity of the company continued after Hammett's death. Purchased in 1946 by A.J. Stevens and Company, Piedmont Number One underwent some changes but retained much of its original appearance. In its later years, most of the factory windows were blocked for air conditioning and the building was surrounded by a number of structures added after Hammett's death. With the sale of the village houses and stores to private owners in the 1950s, Piedmont was no longer a company-owned town and by 1977, Piedmont Number One was no longer used for textile manufacturing.
Piedmont Number One was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 2, 1978, in recognition of the importance of Henry Pinckney Hammett and his company to the postbellum Southern textile industry. The success of Hammett's company has been cited as the impetus for the rapid proliferation of Southern cotton mills in the 1880s. Piedmont Number Two, although extant at that time, was not included in the designation because it had been substantially altered since Hammett's day.
A fire in October 1983 destroyed much of Piedmont Number One; the ruins of the building were subsequently dismantled. The total destruction of Piedmont Number One led to the withdrawal of its Landmark designation on March 5, 1986; it was also removed from the National Register of Historic Places.
