Due to this the site has been a bit slow the past two days, and to speed things up a bit we've had to disable certain pages on My Opera. This is not something we like to do, but under the circumstances we haven't had a choice.
Your blogs and albums should still be fine, as well as the forums.

An Association determined to illuminate student-athlete success at this week's Convention turned on its brightest lights at Friday night's Honors Celebration.
Among those honored was Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody, who received the NCAA's highest individual recognition – the Theodore Roosevelt Award. She told the crowd about how her experiences shaped her life and career, calling herself a simple foot soldier compared to past recipients of the award.
Before becoming the first woman to command a battalion in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and earn the rank of four-star general, Dunwoody competed in gymnastics and tennis at the State University of New York at Cortland.
"It really was in the embryonic stages of gymnastics and tennis and women's sports," the 1975 graduate said of competing in the early stages of the Title IX era. "And I see what these student-athletes are doing today, and it's quadruple the kinds of things that I did. That's what makes me proud. I've seen the journey that these young folks have been on and where they are today. That's the exciting part."
Dunwoody, who sat next to NCAA President Mark Emmert through most of the event, accepted the award on behalf of military personnel serving the country.
Also honored were six Silver Anniversary Award recipients, recognized for their achievements 25 years after their days as student-athletes, and the Today's Top VIII, honoring top seniors from the preceding year. Merzudin Ibric, an analyst for the U.S. government whose family fled war-torn Bosnia when he was a youngster, leading him to publicly speak out against genocide, received the Association's Inspiration Award.
Like her fellow honorees, athletics has been a cornerstone of Dunwoody's life. She picked SUNY-Cortland because it was a top school for physical education, her major.
"The military is a demanding profession both physically, mentally and emotionally," she said. "I feel blessed that my profession and my education and my upbringing in the area of athletics and sports have prepared me so well for my career in the military."
Similarly humbled was Silver Anniversary Award recipient Lisa Caputo, now the executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Citi.
"For me, this by far is the greatest personal honor that I've ever received because athletics and academics are core to how I was raised," said the former field hockey and lacrosse student-athlete at Brown whose mother played field hockey and whose father competed in track and football.
"To have both come together with the Silver Award is overwhelming. It's a recognition that I was raised with the right values, and these are values I'm trying to now pass down to my own kids."
Caputo joined a Silver class that also included Yankees manager and former All-Star Joe Girardi (Northwestern), former NFL and MLB player and commercial icon Bo Jackson (Auburn), former NFL player and analyst turned attorney Tim Green (Syracuse), five-time Olympic basketball medalist Teresa Edwards (Georgia) and PGA Tour member Scott Verplank (Oklahoma State).
For many of the recipients, the Honors Celebration offered an opportunity to look back fondly on their days as a student-athlete.
"In four years, I managed to grow from an immature kid to a responsible young man," Jackson said. "That was all due to the people that I surrounded myself with at Auburn, starting from my teammates to my coaches to the professors who made me study when I didn't want to."
Girardi said the bonds he formed as a student-athlete have remained strong. He said his Northwestern family, especially his coach, comforted him when his mother died when he was just 19.
"When I went through the difficult times in my life, the guys who have been there have been my college teammates," Girardi said.
Also taking the opportunity to reflect was Inspiration Award honoree Ibric, a former track standout at Wheaton (Massachusetts).
"Every day, I'm thankful for having the opportunity to be where I am and to have achieved and accomplished what I have," Ibric said, adding that he hopes to continue to inspire others.
The Today's Top VIII honorees included Zach Carr (Stevens Institute of Technology soccer), Greg McElroy (Alabama football), Amy Backel (Oklahoma track and field), Casie Hanson (North Dakota ice hockey and softball),
Dan Laurent (Wisconsin-Lacrosse wrestling), Marcia Newby-Goodman (Georgia gymnastics), Jessica Pixler (Seattle Pacific cross country and track) and Jeff Spear (Columbia fencing).

Added sugar: Don't get sabotaged by sweeteners
Do you know how much sugar is in your diet? See why added sugar is a concern and how you can cut back.
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you're like many people, you may be eating and drinking more sugar than you realize because it's added to so many foods and beverages. That added sugar means added calories.
Some experts also suspect there's a relationship between added sugars and obesity, diabetes and heart disease, but this view is controversial.
Does that mean you can or should avoid added sugar? Not necessarily. Read on to learn more about added sugar, including where it's most commonly found.
A few facts about sugar
All sugar, whether natural or processed, is a type of simple carbohydrate that your body uses for energy. Fruits, vegetables and dairy foods all naturally contain sugar.
"Added sugar" refers to sugars and syrups added to foods during processing. Desserts, sodas, and energy and sports drinks are the top sources of added sugar for most Americans.
Why is sugar added to so many foods?
Sweetness has an almost universal appeal. So adding sugar to processed foods makes them more appetizing. But sugar is also added to foods because it:
- Boosts flavor
- Gives baked goods texture and color
- Helps preserve foods, such as jams and jellies
- Fuels fermentation, which enables bread to rise
- Serves as a bulking agent in baked goods and ice cream
- Balances the acidity of foods containing vinegar and tomatoes
Why is added sugar a problem?
Foods with a lot of added sugar contribute extra calories to your diet but provide little nutritional value. In addition, added sugar is often found in foods that also contain solid fats.
Eating too many foods with added sugar and solid fats sets the stage for potential health problems, such as:
- Poor nutrition. If you fill up on foods laden with added sugar, you may skimp on nutritious foods, which means you could miss out on important nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Regular soda plays an especially big role. It's easy to fill up on sweetened soft drinks and skip low-fat milk and even water — giving you lots of extra sugar and calories and no other nutritional value.
- Weight gain. There's usually no single cause for being overweight or obese. But added sugar may contribute to the problem. Many foods and beverages contain lots of sugar, making them more calorie-dense. When you eat foods that are sugar sweetened, it is easier to consume more calories than if the foods are unsweetened.
- Increased triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat in the bloodstream and fat tissue. Eating an excessive amount of added sugar can increase triglyceride levels, which may increase your risk of heart disease.
- Tooth decay. All forms of sugar promote tooth decay by allowing bacteria to proliferate and grow. The more often and longer you snack on foods and beverages with either natural sugar or added sugar, the more likely you are to develop cavities, especially if you don't practice good oral hygiene.
Recommendations regarding added sugar
In the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that no more than about 5 to 15 percent of your total daily calories come from added sugar and solid fats.
The American Heart Association has even more-specific guidelines for added sugar — no more than 100 calories a day from added sugar for most women and no more than 150 calories a day for most men. That's about 6 teaspoons of added sugar for women and 9 for men.
Unfortunately, most Americans get more than 22 teaspoons — or 355 calories — of added sugar a day, which far exceeds these recommendations.

April Showers Bring May Flowers…
Surrounded by a sea of golden-yellow rape and basked in rays of sunlight soaring across an azure blue sky. The setting on this particular May weekend (12-13th) was simply picturesque as we made our way across the fields of our hometown.
As a matter of fact, you'd find it hard to believe that just three days prior to this, the skies were completely masked in grey cloud, with winds piercing through us at tremendous speeds.

Grilling the Chef
Aaron Millon, Restaurant Phoebe, Montpelier
Chef Aaron Millon
In the U.S., "Hold the anchovies!" is a familiar cry. But when the thin, salty fish turn up in Restaurant Phoebe's fried artichokes with arugula and anchovy salad, drizzled with lemon-parsley dressing, diners often change their minds.
Most people want them "on the side" or reject them altogether, Chef-Owner Aaron Millon dishes. "The staffers will tell them to try a bite with all of the components."
The result: big smiles. "It's a classic Italian dish that has worked for hundreds of years," Millon says. The salad "transforms an anchovy into a condiment."
Although he taught himself to cook as a youngster, Millon who lived in Washington, D.C., for his "formative years" got his professional start during college. While studying creative writing and history at the University of Miami, he made basic bar food and a few Cuban specialties at a local nightclub. "I took to it instantly," he recalls.
Later Florida gigs included one at the posh restaurant Mercury. "It really exposed me to the finest of fine cuisine," says Millon. "There was caviar everywhere. We had prawns flown in from Ireland."
He takes a different approach to seafood sourcing at Restaurant Phoebe. "Sustainability is important to us here," he says, noting Black River has been a reliable local purveyor; he also buys from Ecofish, an online, environmentally friendly seafood company.
Most of the other ingredients at Phoebe come from a long list of local farms, from Cavendish Game Birds to the Vermont Cranberry Company.
Millon owns the restaurant with his multitasking wife Debbie. She bartends and hosts, but also holds a Master's in biomedical engineering and co-directs Williston's Bellwether School. Named after Millon's sister, Phoebe occupies the old Conoscenti site on Montpelier's State Street.
"The decor is minimalistic," Millon says of the long narrow room painted in muted colors. "It's enough to be warm and friendly, but not so over the top or gimmicky that it distracts you from either your company or the food."
Not that anything could compete with the food; Millon describes the paella he serves a dish he perfected in Florida as "visually stunning."
Anyone who can turn adults on to anchovies has our ear, so we decided to grill Aaron Millon.
SEVEN DAYS: How did your family eat when you were growing up?
AARON MILLON: Food was definitely central to day-to-day life. We had dinner together pretty much every night up until I was in my mid-teens. It was in the European style, so we didn't eat until 8 or 8:30 at night. The food was steeped in the Italian culinary tradition: lots of olive oil, salad at the end of the meal, a lot of pasta topped with quickly sauted ingredients.
And every holiday was a big food deal. We didn't always have turkey on Thanksgiving; we had goose, we had duck.
My mom is a strong cook, but she also went out quite a bit for my dad's job, and I was left to fend for myself. And I didn't like the typical stuff parents would leave their kids with, like Domino's pizza, so I would pull things out of the freezer and experiment. The first dish I mastered was tortellini en brodo [broth].
SD: Back then, were there any foods you just detested?
AM: I never really detested anything. I had a problem with Gorgonzola really strong veiny Gorgonzola and I still don't eat it in chunks. In Italy, my sister would eat chunks and it grossed me out. I remember trying blood sausage when I was 7 or 8. There wasn't much I didn't eat.
SD: Name three foods that make life worth living.
AM: Braised short ribs or even pot roast when it's done well: Anything cooked for a long time in its own juices certainly makes life better in the winter. Fish I get a pretty bad seafood jones once or twice a week; it makes you feel good to eat it. Handmade stuffed pastas or handmade noodles like tagliatelle or pappardelle; fresh fruit would be up there, too; and Hebrew National hot dogs. I could go on . . .
SD: What's the weirdest dish you've tried?
AM: I've eaten a lot of strange things. Probably the first time I had pickled ducks' feet or a pile of really tiny pickled lambs' tongues. I had them at the same cart in San Francisco's Chinatown. I liked both of them. I like anything pickled, really.
I do all the sweetbreads and kidneys. I love all that stuff. When I owned the Richmond Corner Market, there were a couple of Bosnian guys who would order sausage casings and pork butts from me. They brought me in a piece of headcheese they had made. It was pretty wild, but it was good.
SD: When you have time to cook at home, what do you make?
AM: During the winter, a Misty Knoll lemon-roasted chicken. During the summer I'll probably make a couple slabs of ribs. I don't ever order those when I'm out, so that's something I like to do at home.
SD: What foods do you think of as pantry staples?
AM: Dried pasta of any kind, salt and pepper, bay leaves, thyme; some good jarred or canned whole plum tomatoes that either you did yourself or good high-quality ones you buy; good dried mushrooms; yeast and flour so you can make bread; and either homemade stock or broth.
SD: Imagine you have an all-expenses-paid trip to any country you want to eat in. Where do you go?
AM: It would be a toss-up between playing it safe and having the best of a couple different regions in Italy, or going for the exotic, like Singapore, or a Japanese food "bender."
But I'd probably play it safe and do central Italy from the west coast to the east coast and down a little bit.
SD: You can cook for anybody, alive or dead. Whom do you choose?
AM: I'd like to cook for Madeleine Kamman again. She wandered into The Daily Bread in Richmond once, when I was braising off rabbits. I cooked lunch for her once with some other chefs at her house in Barre, right before she moved down to Florida. And then she came in here two or three times. Having a dinner party for friends and family and Madeleine: That would be my idea of a good time.
SD: Any disaster stories?
AM: I think when people do special orders from restaurants, whether they're doing it because they're actually interested in food or to show off, they don't actually think about how [much] things cost. They say cost is no object.
In one instance, I made a dish for somebody that involved three pheasants, truffles and a lobe of foie gras. The food cost alone was $200, and when I marked it up to the appropriate margin it was $600. But hey, that's what they ordered.
There was sticker shock, and they didn't want to pay. Finally I said, "Pay me my cost and don't ask me to do that again." It's money. It's very awkward.
SD: Is there a quirky piece of equipment you can't live without?
AM: It's probably not that quirky, but a good wooden spoon is always in my little tool kit. And I do like the good powerful hand blenders; those make life a lot easier. We make sauces with it; we definitely force some emulsifications that wouldn't hold otherwise.
SD: Which two cookbooks should every home cook own?
AM: Madeleine Kamman's The Making of a Cook and probably Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques, which is getting outdated but is still a great reference book. Every chef should have Becoming a Chef, by [Andrew] Dornenburg and [Karen] Page, and should also have their Culinary Artistry close by. It's kind of about the process: Once you have basic tools and skills, how do you take it a step farther and learn about flavors and what they do when they're combined? How do you develop that skill?
SD: If you had your own culinary TV show, what would it be about?
AM: It would be a lot like the shows that are on: travel, street food, you know. The things that people get by on day after day on the way to work and on the way home from work.
SD: If you weren't a chef, what would your job be?
AM: I'd probably be a traveling journalist, like a war correspondent or something.
SD: What's your favorite thing about cooking in Vermont right now?
AM: Definitely the enthusiasm for the great things that are produced in Vermont: meats, cheeses, produce, that whole vibe. It's nice to be a part of it and kind of live by it.
And, I would say, the reasonable hours. That's a very logistical one, but it is one.
SD: Name a local restaurant that you patronize.
AM: Definitely Starry Night [Cafe], Hen of the Wood, Trattoria Delia and L'Amante. Those are the four that I eat at.
SD: What is something that every restaurant patron should know, but doesn't?
AM: That waiters really do live off their tips. It's not like a bonus: That's actually their wage.
SD: Can you tell me a fact about you that might surprise people?
AM: Probably that I'm a pretty big animal lover. Because I'm a big fan of meat and offal, I think that sometimes surprises people.
SD: Besides hot dogs, do you have a favorite guilty pleasure?
AM: I wouldn't say fast food like McDonald's, but definitely greasy spoons. That would probably be my secret.

After Diocletian's persecution of Christians, many of the later Roman emperors, including Constantine, saw Christianity as an ally instead of an enemy. In 313, when the only other emperor was Licinius, Constantine arranged an agreement between the two of them so that Christianity was no longer an illegal religion. This was known as the Edict of Milan. Later, in 323 when Constantine defeated Licinius to become the sole emperor, he made Christianity the preferred religion (which means he still allowed other religions, including emperor worship).
Constantine was not a theologically strong Christian, even waiting to be baptized on his deathbed with the belief that more sins would be covered, but he still had a large impact on the Christian movement. In the short term, the initial permissiveness toward the movement under cooperation with Licinius and the later preference allowed Christians to more openly profess their faith without fears of persecution. Chrisitianity was formerly in the public square in the form of executions, but now it was in the public square in the form of legal discourse.
In the long term, the effects were not so good. Constantine not only allowed Christianity, but he also wanted to govern it and proclaimed himself the bishop of bishops. This led to many decisions regarding the direction Christianity was to legally move in being made by someone who did not know much about Christianity. As an example, in the debate between Arius and Athanasius, Constantine changed his mind multiple times, always siding for the person he felt would bring the most peace among the people. He did not care about orthodox theology as much as he cared about politics and securing his own power. The good part of this incident, though, were the decisions that came out of the Council of Nicea which Constantine organized, regarding the divinity of Christ.
Although there was a bishop in Rome, where Constantine first lived, the idea that someone in Rome was to control the church was born with Constantine's rule as head bishop. The bishop of Rome, though, was the bishop that was the most geographically close to Constantine so his opinion became elevated amongst the bishops due to this influence upon the emperor. The bishop's influence became so elevated that when Constantine moved the capital of the empire to Constantinople, the Roman bishop was in the position to assume control over all of the other bishops. As the lectures indicate, there were many other factors that led to this and the eventual creation of the papacy, but this one cannot be forgotten.

Reviews by jcomp21:jcomp21California 4.75/5 rDev +16.4% look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5 Wooowwww! You gotta try this beer. Strait outta belgium, this beer makes me smile. One of my favorite types of beer, the beglian quadruple/belgian strong dark ale. Appearance - Very dark brown with some red undertones, there was a quick head that evaporated quickly... but at 11% abv that is expected! Smell - Wow - like falling in love with a blonde girl in lederhosen on the alps. very figgy and sweet. Some strawberries and chocolate on the back of the nose. Take me to Belgium!!! Taste - Sweet, pruny, cherry/strawberry, tart raison, with a bite and you can feel a bit of warming from the alchohol. Mouthfeel - Creamy and smooth Overall - I want to drink this alot see you on the next one. Serving type: bottle 03-26-2012 02:57:41 | More by jcomp21 More User Reviews:falloutsnowIllinois 4.06/5 rDev -0.5% look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 From: BInny's, Champaign, IL Date: Bottled 2012-01-25 Glass: Founders snifter Though a bit strong with its ethanol presentation, I found myself really enjoying this beer's heavy caramel sweetness and interesting anise and dried fruit mixtures. The mouthfeel was fairly heavy, yet effortlessly foamy and smooth thanks to well-executed carbonation. Overall, a very good, somewhat unique Belgian Quad that hit most of my flavor pleasure zones, a good one to seek out again. Pours a 1.5cm tall head of tan colored foam, made up of small-sized bubbles that yield a frothy-looking appearance. Foam retention is average, around one minute, fading to a thick ring around the glass and a medium-sized island of thin foam that remains atop the body of the beer for the duration of the session. Lacing is very good, with some large blotches and lines, with smaller dots clinging with some fairly high density to the walls of the glass. Beer's body is a dark brown to black color, with light bringing out orange hues around the perimeter of the beer. Carbonation not visible through the opaque body. Aroma of sweet, deep caramel and burnt sugar, with strong raisin characters. Overall flavor of dense caramel sweetness, burnt sugar, anise, prunes, and ethanol; the anise and other(?) phenols I can't describe products of the Belgian yeast, which give this its characteristic flavors. Front of palate picks up heavy caramel sweetness, prunes, moderate anise, mild ethanol, and a hint of roasted barley. Mid-palate of caramel, burnt sugar, cola, prune, anise, and ethanol, all fairly equally well-expressed. Back of palate of slight grape, prune, anise, caramel, cola, mild ethanol Aftertaste of caramel and burnt sugar, slight raisin and prune, faint anise. Beer is heavy-bodied, with carbonation of medium to medium-low intensity, resulting in a smooth (1/3) and otherwise foamy (2/3) mouthfeel that suits the beer and the style quite well. Ethanol felt as heat in the nostrils and low burn on the palate and back of throat, not surprising for an 11% ABV beer, fairly well-integrated into the overall package. Closes dry, with heavy stickiness on the palate and lips.

There are fascinating notes of apple peel, raisin, and prune, but you wouldn't want to drink too much of it quickly. Serving type: bottle 12-15-2013 06:39:18 | More by RandomExile thecheapiesPennsylvania 4.14/5 rDev +1.5% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25 750ml bottled in 08-2004, says the cork. Emptied into an Orval chalice. No head. None. There was a small hiss when the cork eased out, but no evidence in the glass. The color is a murky reddish mahogany. Looks difficult. 1.75 Vinous dark fruits. Rum raisin, date, fig, dark bread, black cherry, fermented grape, candi sugar, dryness, some buttery maltiness. Effectively aromatic, especially without a head. 4.25 Sweet raisiny malt sugar, fig and date, grape, plum, spicy booze with mellowness, aged malts, candi sugar, and dark honey. Aged gracefully, I must say. 4.25 Feels flat and bruised. No carbonation, practically. Body is a little fuller than medium. Mellow booziness, which I like. 2.25 Held up great for flavor and aroma, but I miss the bubbles. 3.75 *** Bottled on 12-30-10. 11.2oz stubby poured into an elegant Kasteel stemmed goblet. Dark and murky mahogany with red hues. A quaint ring of foam formed and stuck. Looks nice. 4 Fig and raisin esters with dark bread and candi sugar. Nice rich maltiness. Deep plum and grape notes. Somewhat sweet. 4 Rich, sweet, fruity, and boozy. Raisin, grape, fig, some date, and a nice heap of sweet quad breadiness. Optimally phenolic with some medicinal flavors that I like. Quite the tasty ale. 4.25 Feels royally big and boozy. Spicy and playful with a tempered carbonation level. Good mouthfeel. 3.75 I love this beer. Phenomenal for its own level of sweetness. Always a good choice. 4.25 Serving type: bottle 12-09-2013 21:10:01 | More by thecheapies SteamerMissouri 4.96/5 rDev +21.6% look: 4.75 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 5 Thick, almost dirty appearance; like freshly stomped grapes with all the residue that goes with it. Strong smell of fig, reminds me of the fig newtons I loved as a kid; you can also catch a hint of alcohol in the nose - not surprising considering the high ABV (11%). Nothing tame about the aroma. Wow! Tastes of grapes, fig, sweet caramel, and a little alcohol bite; sweet and fruity after taste. Mouthfeel - Like a high gravity, squeezed fruit drink, very full bodied. Overall - This is about as good as it gets for a quad. I didn't think I would find one better than Trappistes Rochefort 10 but this one is tops it in my book - a little pricey at about $19 for a four pack but well worth it. Serving type: bottle 10-06-2013 01:03:44 | More by Steamer JerzDevl2000New Jersey 4.31/5 rDev +5.6% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 Picked this up last week at Top Hops, having never tried this before. This looked it packed quite a punch and in actuality, it did. Thankfully, there was so much to like about this and for being a strong beer, I actually had to pace myself when it came time to review it. It's exceptionally tasty and smooth, since all of the flavors and the mouthfeel blended seamlessly together. The pour to this was quite dark, with a cola-like appearance with garnet edges. The head was pretty full and topped by the lacing, which left a spider-web of remnants down the sides of my point glass as I worked my way through this. Lots of candied sugar, brown sugar, and cherry in the nose, reinforced by plum, currant, and fig in the taste. Ya like dark fruit? Look no further. This beer had it all and boy,, did they come into harmony in this bottle. Toss in some dark chocolate, booze, and mead-like sweetness and the result was this doozy of a brew that subtly hit me over the head before I could even finish it. The worst part about it? I ignored the warning signs and kept right on going, because this was so damn good. Who cares if this wasn't a session beer? You'll want more than one in a sitting anyways. I had the 11.2 oz. bottle that didn't even expire until January but that was more than enough to get a feel for this. Not all quads are created equal and the spice and heavy mouthfeel weren't present here. What resulted was a beer that would be a dessert until itself, unassumingly shoving dinner aside in the process. A must-have for anyone who love Belgian Beers without the seriousness underneath the surface. Really fabulous take on the style! Serving type: bottle 10-04-2013 07:47:25 | More by JerzDevl2000 Ryanm1Pennsylvania 4.25/5 rDev +4.2% look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 Poured from a 22 ounce cage and cork into a glass. Poured really brown dark in color. Moderate amount of white lacing. Sweet smell, typical of Belgian quads, tastes of dried dark fruit such as plums, raisins and dates. Thick and syrupy that is a beer that takes a lot of time to finish. The 11 percent abv is noticeable with the smell of alcohol. Also the taste of alcohol is present at the finish similar to a glass of wine. Otherwise the finish was excellent. You can also notice the legs on the glass when finished.

I dont know what class, but never had anything like it. Super nice quad that pours a thick ruby black. Taste like a pissed off chocolate cake. Smells like honey and brown sugar. How the 11% is hidden so well I will never know. Mouthfeel is creamy but a bit awkward like a junior prom tongue kiss behind the first base dugout, but unforgettable just the same. This damn beer is so sweet and strong. I don't know what to do with this...? Serving type: bottle 09-04-2013 06:39:30 | More by Lungman |

We have such a bunch of freaks running this country.
Gov. Granholm, just how many gods to you worship? Seriously.
Granholm is as crazy as she appeared at the Democrat convention.
the question is "protector" of what?he´s sworn to protect the Constitution, yet he seems to revel in provoking a Constitutional crisis.
However, on the other hand, many of us view Obama as the Islamonazi Beast who would herd us like cattle into gas chambers, so we think we need protection from him and his worshipers like Granholm.
I don´t know, Governor. He seems a lot more like a Rectal-Sphincter-in-Chief to me.
Self-fornicate and expire, Zero.
How ironic that in the year 2013, the Plantation Party would still be espousing rhetoric of the antebellum slaveholder. Still they preach the politics of dependency, inferiority, responsibility for their subjects. Harriet Beecher Stowe should have called her great novel "Uncle Barry´s Cabin". Perhaps the GOP should start quoting Martin Luther King at these people. "Let freedom ring".
Go back to Canada, or don´t they want you back?
The progressives are still filled with dillusion and make believe. I fear they live in an alternate universe. Unfortunately for the nation, they have the power and are in control.
This product of a desperate floozy´s Saturday night booze-up couldn´t protect a locked bank vault.
After being governor of Michigan for 8 years she is now producing ads for tourists to visit Washington. There is a word for a woman who will take money for anything.
For example, the Americans who were executed in Benghazi and Algeria.
Safer? Really??Terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11:Bush: 0The Obamboozler: 4 - and that´s just in his first term!!
What´s the response time for the Protector in Chief? Call WH, which then contacts Secret Service, which then contacts presidential golf cart, which then waits for Obama to complete his 18 rounds with Choom Gang, shower, don Seal outfit, dine and then onto Marine 1 for helicopter flight to AF1 at Andrews AFB. Destination, your housebreak in or car jacking. Only simple thing will be new emergency number, The One, or 843-663.Warning: P-in-C may stop at one or more fund raisers before reaching you. Hey, you know he´s always late.
Is she saying you didn´t need a firearm because Obama killed Osama?
OMG! Stalinism revitalized! Never thought this could happen in the USA, but it really has!
Palladium ? ( a statue of Pallas )How ´bout polonium ? (a highly toxic element)
The men in Benghazi found out that statement is a lie.
Now that is laugh-out-loud-funny !
Oh Jennifer we most certainly do need to be worried about Obama protecting us, he is more likening to be the great provocateur! What you are asking Americans to do is to ignore that little voice of intuition on the inside that tells you when something is most certainly NOT right, right now that little voice in MOST Americans is screaming at the top of its lungs, it is not alright and the cavalry is not coming!!!
Put this sign in your yard, Jennifer: "I don´t have a gun. President Obama will protect me."
Whatever you think of the kenyan wrecking ball, there are very few people who would put their lives willingly into his hands. By the time he got done playing golf and thinking about who to blame, you would be long dead. I´ll trust the blued steel and the 17 round mag thank you very much.
Repulsive Cray Cray Grayson repeatedly referred to GOPers as cockroaches. Any time Santorium was asked a question, Cokie & CrayCray double team interrupted him, to make sure he never got his point accross.The new bullying format of our politics... Name calling & stifling our voice.
Protecting us from what?Our freedom?
I dunno; he reminds me of the Roman emperor in Gladiator. The people will love me because I am their father, kind of thing.Hubris; your last name is Obama.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
His memorable try against Scotland in the 2001 Championship announced him as a world class operator but owing to a shoulder injury, and competition for places in head coach Jacques Brunel's squad, he only made one appearance in the 2012 RBS 6 Nations against England.
But the 33-year-old feels he still has a lot more to offer to his country and has set his sights on playing in the 2015 World Cup in England.
Should he achieve his goal it would be the fifth time Bergamasco has played at a World Cup, his first coming in the 1999 edition, but first and foremost he insists he must help new club Zebre get off to a flying start in the Pro 12.
"These are the last years of my career and here at the Zebre I've found the right stimulus to keep on giving my all," said Bergamasco, who has 92 Test caps to his name.
"I want to continue to enjoy playing at a high level and here I'm doing that.
"I want to continue to be useful to the national team too - that is something I strive for.
"The idea of going to the World Cup in England is there. I believe I can compete to be part of the squad that will go and this is an objective which really appeals to me.
"There's more than three years to go but the path starts with the Zebre."

Raps' heads will roll
Posted by GameSetMatch on 15th April 2010
For the Raptors, the end arrived late Wednesday night in the season-ending game.
For some, it marked the beginning of the end because heads will now roll.
Whether it's as early as Thursday, next week, in the ensuing weeks or in the coming months, someone will have to take the fall for a free-falling team that never looked the same from the all-star break.
The entire team, from top to bottom, will now be under review. What is uncovered and what measures are taken to correct this mess will lay the foundation for how the Raps look in the future.
With very little financial wiggle room in a basketball climate where revenues are declining, the Raptors won't have much to play with in terms of bargaining chips.

Dukto is a handy cross-platform tool which makes it very easy to transfer files across your local network, without worrying about operating systems, protocols, permissions, security or anything else.
The program has a very simple, Windows 8-like interface. An icon shows your current network name and device, and if a friend is connected to the same network, and also running Dukto (which runs on Windows, OS X for Intel 10.6.x or later, Linux, Symbian devices via the Nokia store, and there's even a commercial iOS version), then you'll see an icon representing their system, too. There's no need to specify IP addresses or anything else, the program just finds and displays it clients entirely automatically.
Clicking the icon for your friend's system will provide a list of options: you can send some text, specified files or folders. Or they can do the same thing on their installation to send data to you.
And once you've told Dukto exactly what you want to copy, it'll immediately get on with transferring the files for you.
There are a few small extras available, if you go looking. So a Network icon lists the network IPs Dukto has discovered, for instance, and an IP Connection option can send data to the address you specify.
For the most part, though, there's no need to worry about such complexities - Dukto just works. And so if, say, getting a friend's MacBook Pro communicating with your Windows network is a prospect you'd normally dread, this smart and simple program should prove to be a far easier alternative.

The fans of country music love Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line and they proved it again Tuesday during the American Country Awards.
Justin Timberlake may have earned seven Grammy nominations, but he still has reason to cry himself a river: The pop star was shut out of the top Grammy categories album, song and record of the year though his comeback effort, "The 20/20 Experience," is 2013's best-selling release.
Jay Z easily led Grammy Award nominations announced Friday with nine, but left-of-center rappers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Kendrick Lamar were among a group of new stars who took many of the major nominations.
Britney Spears, "Britney Jean" (RCA Records)
One Direction, "Midnight Memories" (Columbia)

Kept 6,004 times
They Don't Make Sweets Like They used To 1800 to 2012
The sweetie counter at your local corner shop was even more enticing than the school tuck shop, wasn't it? Which of these treats do you remember? And which of your favourites have we missed?!
SLAM !!! This hasen't been mentioned for some reason. It was made by Cadbury's and was on the line of the Curly Wurly - Does anyone remember the 'SLAM' ??
Created 11 weeks ago
Remember when?
Why were these recommended?
We try to uncover interesting memory boxes based on things you told us, like where you live or used to go to school. Other memory boxes might be shown because similar users have also kept them or because of the interests you've added to your profile.
Why am I seeing the same things over?
To keep the recommendations simple, we pick a maximum number of memory boxes to be shown per day. Once you've seen all those, the same ones will repeat until we make new recommendations for you tomorrow. Remember to 'keep' any recommendations you like, and these will not be shown to you again in future.
But nothing here is interesting to me!?

A chemical company named CREAX did a promotional video 3 years ago for a self-repairing tire, but it has only gone viral now. Probably because it's just too good to be true.
Watch a demonstration of their amazing bicycle tire driving over nails, and even being stabbed flat by hand, only to have every puncture instantly and perfectly sealed each time.
One of the youtube video comments had me curious. Just how much must this tire weigh?

Amazing MonitorPros: Amazing Monitor, Have had for a year. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: 120hz It is a must for Battlefield 3 or 4. Amazing Monitor Cons: None.. Its a TN panel, but thats the nature of the beast Did you find this review helpful? |
Great for gamingPros: -120hz is very noticeable, even when moving the mouse cursor around on the desktop. Cons: -Colors look washed out compared to my previous IPS panel monitor. Other Thoughts: This is my first FPS gaming monitor and I have to say, this is one of the best purchases I made in a while. At first, I was pretty disappointed with the color options it came with from the factory but after a couple hours and adjustments later, I got it to where I'm satisfied. Then, I started gaming and that's where I saw the real difference. Compared to 60hz, 120hz is amazing. Very responsive, very quick, and insanely made me into a good player. I did not expect a monitor to make me play really well. I tried switching back to 60hz and that made me play dull again because the response time it took was very noticeable. It's like it's .1 sec slower, which isn't very big, but somehow, you can feel it when you move the mouse around. There's just this lag when you go back down to 60hz. I swear, I get called a hacker more often now because I can see in dark corners and how fast this monitor responds. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Buy for GamersPros: -120hz : Gamers looking for a smooth gameplay should look no further... Cons: None that I have seen so far. Other Thoughts: Great monitor for people looking to game in 120hz Did you find this review helpful? |
Good monitor 4/5Pros: Great for gaming, wasn't too difficult setting up. Cons: Had multiple dead pixels when i first plugged it in, which is disappointing. wasn't as good for things like watching videos as i've seen from other monitors. if you're really into gaming though i'd say it's a good but not great choice. Did you find this review helpful? |
RMA, Horrible ServicePros: Nice Monitor Cons: Broke after 30 days, had to RMA through Benq, its been 3 weeks since I mailed it out and I still have not received a replacement monitor. Nobody picks up when I call BenQ customer service, will NEVER buy from them again. Sticking with Viewsonic. Other Thoughts: More of a review of their service than their monitor but be warned. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fantastic!Pros: The Price is Right Cons: Default colors are slightly off (but can be adjusted) Other Thoughts: Great monitor for the price. I was looking to get something with a 120hz refresh rate after I cracked the screen on my previous monitor. Boy am I glad I did. People tend to say you can't tell the difference in frame rate after 60hz but I beg to differ. Everything looks smoother. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Hands down beautiful.Pros: Super sharp images, Amazing color, And very very bright. As a gamer myself this monitor is EVERYTHING I could want, And I love showing this thing off! Best buy. Cons: Seriously none. Other Thoughts: Gotta try the 3D sometime! Did you find this review helpful? |
So far so goodPros: Playing games at 1080p, at 120hz makes games seem seemless, shiny. The matte screen's great when playing during the day (no reflection off the glass). The screen's height is closer to the same as my 22" Samsungs, than my 24" Samsung's was. It looks like it was made to go with them, just wider.. Cons: It took me about 20 minutes of troubleshooting to figure out that I needed to unplug all other monitors that I had hooked up, for the settings to work with 1080p @ 120hz. The highest that I could get before that, even with the dualdvi cable that came with it, was much lower resolution. AGAIN... REMOVE ALL OTHER VIDEO MONITOR CABLES FROM YOUR CARD, THEN ONLY HOOK UP THIS MONITOR FIRST. Get your settings right, then hook up your other monitors. Other Thoughts: Great monitor overall. I thought about getting the 27", but playing games on larger screens up close is great if you're a casual gamer, but if you're into FPS there's no question that this is the better choice in my opinion. I guess it all depends on how far back your face is from the screen. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very Satisfied Indeed!Pros: What has been said already about this monitor. 1080 resolution with 120hz rate and 3D vision support ready. Very nice study and great stand! Lots of features for custom resolution, picture quality and profiles! Cons: Pricey, matte screen and overall colors can be a bit dull, but with proper calibration this is a great gaming monitor. Other Thoughts: I preferred this over the ASUS 144hz because Benq specializes in monitors and projectors, so their brand doesn't dilute like Asus (by no means Asus is bad either) and their products and this XL2420 is no exception. Great features for FPS gamers and even black equalizer and response time! This is a solid monitor that I don't regret at all. 144hz is good, but the VQ lacks certain customization features that this one offers and more. Overall, you can't go wrong with this one or Asus, but if you want more bang for your buck, get this and stop crying for the extra 24hz. Did you find this review helpful? |

My new favorite Wine!!
"cheap"....I need a ballpark...I love wine too. :D But I'm pretty frickin cheap.
Mine is twin springs sweet red cheap as fuck at 4 bucks
If im feelin "hoodrich" ill get a 7dollar wine.my mother used to sing me a song. It went like this: "Life is short, life is shit, and soon it will be over. -
Coppela makes a great inexpensive wine - not cheap, but not expensive.:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•** She who leaves a trail of glitter is never forgotten**•-:¦:-•:*'""*:• -:¦:-
Coppela is good! I like Seven Oaks a LOT, it's about $14 and of course our standby Menage au Trois for like about $8. One I had a convo with a pilot about that wine that made everyone go dead silent.... I said IT'S WINE, you guys!!!!! HAHAHAHA Um what else, oh I know, LAYER CAKE!!! Yummo!!!!!
This is $10.99 but its always on sale at Walgreens for like $7 I'm going to try Springs sweet, $4 damn that's really cheap.
That's sparkling wine you pussy!
And define cheap, I'm a bit of an armchair sommelier. Cheap to me is under $15, we on the same page here?
$4?!?! Hole shit. I guess our booze is pretty highly taxed here.
Cherry on top!Mary :-)
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. -
Stark Raving! 9.95 a bottle. And the name suits me.
I like sparkling wine @Demanda I'm done drinking that hard liquor shit. Plus I'm a classy lady :D
I was just teasing you, @wineyhoe. I would give my left tit to crack a bottle with you.
@Demanda .. Soon my Canadian wife soon :x
My favorite sparkling wine is Ballatore. Have you had that?! If not, try it!!
I'm also a wine ho when I'm not knocked up. ;) -
@Sammie and @leopardgirle I haven't had either of those, but I well try them now.
Anything Dr. Zen Zen :DThere are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. Which one are you?
The Cafe Zin IS wonderful!!!
I love cavit pinot grigio and barefoot wines, cavit is pricey for me $10+ barefoot is $6. Barefoot also makes great champagneI am me, and I am loved
Ermagerd Barefoot is like $12 here. I like their Pinot Grigio too, but my heart belongs to Gabbiano.
I like Barefoot Sweet Red $11 for the big bottle or $7 for the small one. Or Sweet Bitch which I believe is about the same price.
I don't like dry wines and neither of those are too dry. -
I like Barefoot wines...Ste. Saint Michelle isn't bad either.
The Yellow Tail Moscato isn't bad either
Hmm for a sparkling I like lambrusco, there's a company called I'll who makes a good one. Also a big fan of Cupcake Red Velvet and Apothic Red, both are mixed reds not too dry. Actually having some red velvet tonight ;)
Well I drank the whole bottle tonight, Its only about 2 1/2 cups so I'm not a drunk I swear. I love Barefoot and I'm ashamed to say I haven't tried the others. Looks like its time to get my drink on, I am not changing my name.
I liv Moscoto yum yum yum
any wine mixed with some sprite will work for me..... ;)I'm the nicest person you will ever meet, UNTIL you fuck with me or the betches I love.......
I like lambrusco but I have only had maybe 5 glasses in my lifetime ! My mom doesn't really like Acholol and I was 20 when I got married. I never drank before I turned 21. Yea I'm that kind of person. Lol odd." Wibbly wobbly timey wimey ......." The Doctor
" I'm a leafe on the wind..watch how I soar ." Wash :((
" Oh the wall had it comming.' Sherlock Holmes
yea I am geek !! -
Pssst...hugger...for future reference, any time I use a French word I'm being sarcastically pretentious. It's just one of my many charms. I seriously almost busted a gut when I saw that hug, I needed that laugh tonight, thank you! Cheers!
Omg this thread makes me want to crack open a bottle!! There is a winery around where I live called the purple toad (yeah weird name I know) they have one called Paducah black and blue OMG I can drink a whole bottle myself!! They just came out with a peach, it's not bad but I'm not a peach person dh loves it they have several different ones and if you go to the winery they let you taste them before you buy awesome!! I have a brand new bottle in the fridge chilling now~Live life to the fullest, or die trying~
What's a good beginner wine? I am ashamed to say I don't like wine, maybe haven't met the right bottle yet...
I like beer and whiskey, but am open to expanding my drinking horizons.Searching for my lost shaker of salt. -
If you haven't had this ($10.99) wine, you're missing out.
It all tastes like vinegar to me.
*ducks and runs*I'm as sexy as a burp mid-kiss. Watch out!
For every loser there's one that has to win. So bite your tongue, grit your teeth and grin... -
My favorite wine is a Riesling it is by Schmidt and sonne its awesome and about 9 bucks
I love love love Muscat Samos. It's very oakum but oh my it's delicious. A bottle is about $8.
I tend to like dessert wines. The sweeter the better. Over the holidays my sister in law turned me on to chocolate wine. I had seen it in the state stores and it struck me as weird. I ended up eating my words. I like it. I just had the brand cupcake...red velvet. Not as sweet as I like. But, its not bad.
We have a winery up my way that makes jalapeno wine. Chillin in the fridge haven't tried it yet. -
Believe it or not, Aldi's has decent wine-about $4/bottle. I've had the moscato and the merlot, but they have a few others, too.
@beachy at first I was not a wine drinker!! Give me a mixed drink and I was good to go, my MIL always tried to get me to drink this red wine crap and it tasted like kerosene I thought I was weird but then the new winery around here opened and I tasted a few and I found I like the unconventional ones like the black and blue is blackberry and grape, is there a winery close to you?~Live life to the fullest, or die trying~
My favorite it Boca moscato d'asti. It runs about $15 here but can get it on sale for about $12 (I know big sale right? )
I'd say start with Barefoot if you're a beginner. Something sweet, also there's a winerie here that I went to last year OMG you havent had real wine until you check one out. So good!
I think that about all alcohol, @MarySunshine. Well, except for the stuff that tastes like roofing tar.MarySunshine said:It all tastes like vinegar to me. *ducks and runs*
Part of growing up is learning to forgive your parents for being human. -
I drank a lot in my early 20's,, but I am not a fan of wines at all. I actually don't drink much at all anymore. I was a boones farm peach wine girl till they quit making it. I did buy a friend a bottle of chocolate wine I found in Branson for Christmas and she said it was the best.she ever tasted.Life's like an hourglass glued to the table.........
@fatchickonabike so just out of curiosity, when did you ever try roofing tar??? :-))
@KrabbyKay, I can taste the stuff in the air every time I walk past one of those roofing trucks with the tar-melter trailer thingy. Yuck! (Good thing I didn't say it tasted like goat piss or something)!Part of growing up is learning to forgive your parents for being human.
I have always thought tequila tastes like burnt peanuts, gin tastes like pine solLife's like an hourglass glued to the table.........
99I love the Barefoot wines. Funny enough I found that wine through the blogger Barefoot Foodie.I like the Cupcake wine, too.We mostly do local wines. This is wine country here - The Finger Lakes - and man is it good stuff.A local apple farm has a GREAT wine line. My favorite is the SomerSet original. They also have a Red and a Rose. And it's only $9.99 a bottle.
@MarySunshine I never liked wine, thought it tasted like ass... but that ONE wine.... I will go to Olive Garden & buy a bottle to go...
my cheap wine go to is Boordy- only the whites or flavored wines, never the reds from them (local vineyard- MD red grapes suck)
my "expensive" wine go to is Conundrum at $25. It is awesome.
We also make our own wine that runs around $4 cost per bottle and a batch makes around 30 bottles (except for the last batch that is vinegar...le sigh)
I think whiskey tastes like stinky feet, bourbon like ass and beer like piss water
:-&"As you wander through your life, whatever be your goal,

@shate98 i will have none of this bad mouthing whisky. lol whisky is like drinking wine there's a special way....
exhale first then inhale your whisky. tee hee....
my mother used to sing me a song. It went like this: "Life is short, life is shit, and soon it will be over. -
