Stone 02.02.02 Vertical Epic Ale
RATINGS: 100 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.81/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 225 ABV: 7.5%
A new Vertical Epic will be released every year, with the goal being to collect them all and have a Vertical Epic tasting once the final Epic is released on 12/12/12. Each new Stone Vertical Epic Ale will be release one YEAR, one MONTH and one DAY apart. Vertical Epic 02/02/02 was not brewed "to style". Instead, we tried to create something new. It's triple-ish in nature, with wit character, coriander and orange peel, and has way more hops than either a Belgian triple or a Wit would. Belgian yeast was used. Belgian Strong Ale is the closest category that fits -- Greg Koch, Stone Brewing CEO. In addition, we are pleased to provide the homebrewing recipe: http://stonebrew.com/timeline/020202

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS; Argentine Plan For Savings Lifts Stocks
By JENNIFER L. RICH
Published: January 22, 2002
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 21— Bank stocks led another day of frenzied trading on the stock exchange here as investors bought shares on news that the government was preparing to prop up the financial system by converting dollar-denominated savings accounts into pesos.
The Merval index has risen 56 percent this year as Argentines seek hard assets to protect wealth from a severe financial crisis and a sharply devalued currency. The index was up nearly 13.5 percent on the day, rising 55.69 points, to 470.55. It is up 59.3 percent for the year in peso terms.
The government also moved to reassure an angry public that it would find ways to maintain the buying power of the peso after President Eduardo Duhalde told Argentines over the weekend that he would not be able to keep a promise to return dollar deposits in dollars. Two-thirds of Argentina's bank deposits are in dollars, a result of the decade-long convertibility plan that maintained the peso one-to-one with the dollar.
The government said one option being considered is to peg the peso to inflation to keep the crisis from being felt by an increasingly poorer population. But some analysts say that may not be enough to halt violence that has spread nationwide.
''We need to start finding ways to reduce the tension that is building in Argentine society,'' said Eduardo Blasco, president of Maxinver, a consulting firm. ''There are now between 8,000 and 13,000 Argentines who don't have the wherewithal to feed themselves, and those are the people who sack grocery stores.''
On Tuesday, Argentines will gain access to an additional $7,000 of their savings to pay bills after the government relaxed measures restricting capital flow. All but a small portion of the nation's $45 billion in dollar-denominated savings accounts have been frozen the last two weeks to prevent a collapse of the banking system after central bank reserves fell to about $14 billion.
In the meantime, the Argentine government continues to pursue an investigation into the flight of more than $7 billion from banks in the month before the first freeze on bank deposits in early December.
''We are trying to determine whether there was influence-peddling between the government and business and financial institutions that would have given them prior warning of the banking freeze that gravely impacted the 40 percent of Argentines in the middle class,'' said Franco Caviglia, a federal deputy on the congressional commission investigating the accusations.
Most of the country's largest banks, including branches of Citibank, HSBC Argentina and BankBoston, were the targets of late night raids late last week and over the weekend for documents and computer files pertaining to the transactions. But most financial analysts say that the capital flight, which was entirely legal under Argentine law at the time, was a normal response to worsening economic conditions.
''What we are seeing is a state of general desperation among people who are trying to find those responsible for the crisis,'' said Ricardo Delgado, an economist at Ecolatina, a research group.

If you are new to the world of web design or simply new to using Adobe Illustrator as a web design tool, I wanted to take a moment to explain to you the process through which your designs will go through before they make it out onto the web. It's important to understand this process because it will help you streamline your workflow and also allow you to pinpoint areas that you might need for improvement, or it may simply get your brain thinking in more of a workflow-oriented way, which is very important. It should be noted that this is just my personal workflow and there is no right or wrong way to do any of this. Everyone is different, but this is something that works well for me.
All web projects start as a idea. Whether it's something that you sketched on a napkin or a quick drawing you created on your iPad, ideas are the building blocks for what we create in our little web world. Finding a way to get these ideas out of your head and into a workable form is the key. I use tablet apps like Adobe Ideas to quickly sketch things that pop into my head, and then I export those to use them as a starting point once I am inside of an app like Illustrator. No matter how you do it, it's best to get the ideas out and into some visual form so that A, you don't lose them, and B, you can share them with others and refine them into something awesome.
Once you have your idea down, it's time to create a wireframe. Wireframes are the skeleton on which we build our mockups, and in the end, full web sites. These wireframes can contain object placeholders and guidelines that will serve as a blueprint of our entire design. In my opinion, this is the most important step of the design process, because it's the foundation of the project itself. And we all know what happens to houses with shaky foundations, right? In the end, they all fall apart. After you have your foundation in place, it's time to put on a coat of paint. This is the part of the process where your creativity can shine through.
You'll need to aggregate content like logos, colors, fonts, et cetera, but most of that can be obtained from a client or created from your own mind. Either way, having a large group of assets from which to build your design is absolutely essential. Your mockup should look as close as possible to the finished product, minus any crazy animation or media that might be required of course. This will also serve as a roadmap for the development stage, which will either be handled by a web developer or, if you are a hybrid like me, you can be your own developer. In any case your file should be as "developer-friendly" as possible, so at the end of the process goes even smoother. Don't worry.
I'll give you several tips throughout this course on how to speak geek and create these types of files. When the mockup is complete you might consider slicing up your design. We cover this in depth in a later chapter, but just know that slicing in the traditional sense refers to breaking your design into multiple pieces or images which can be placed back together later using HTML and CSS. In a modern workflow, slicing is mainly used to define different content areas which can then be rendered out by a developer using coding techniques. As I said, we'll discuss this at length a little bit later on.
Once your mockup is all sliced and diced, it's time to hand it off to the development stage. If you are a front-end person--meaning you don't touch the code side of things--your job now is to work with the developer to ensure your creative vision is realized by the end product. Remember, a developer is your friend. They are the ones that take the wooden puppet and turn it into a real boy, so learning how to communicate and work with them is an essential part of the design process. If you are your own developer, congrats; you've achieved a level of mastery that very few can lay claim to. The final step of this workflow is to deliver the goods.
This could mean handing the finished product off to the client or simply uploading it to your server for your own needs. In any case, there is no better feeling than when a project comes to fruition and the final pixel has been pushed. If you make it this far, congratulations; you've just completed your first web design project. As I said, this is merely my personal workflow. Take from it what you will, but hopefully I gave you some insight on how the design process works in a web-based scenario, and also gave you a little bit of clarity if you are wondering how your designs go from something like Adobe Illustrator to the World Wide Web.

Alliance Group makes net loss of $50.8m
Relevant offers
Southland sheepmeat processor and exporter Alliance Group has reported a $50.8 million net loss for the year ending September 30 - its first operating loss in 20 years.
As a result, its farmer suppliers will not receive any distribution payments this year.
The decision to cease sheepmeat operations at the Mataura plant, which set the company back $13.5m in restructuring costs, contributed to the loss.
Alliance Group chairman Owen Poole said the loss reflected a substantial change in New Zealand's sheepmeat export markets because of the widespread economic crisis and a strong New Zealand dollar.
"We accept that many exporters and processors like ourselves did not respond to the changing economic environment fast enough and, in an intensely competitive industry, continued to pay too much for livestock for too long," he said.
Despite the loss, the company had made several investments to help with costs, including a $15m upgrade of the beef processing at Mataura, he said.
The company anticipated a much better financial result next year, Mr Poole said.
Federated Farmers Southland meat and fibre spokesman and Alliance supplier Andrew Morrison said he did not expect to see such a significant loss.
Farmers were likely to criticise the company for poor performance but at the end of the day the money ended up in the farmers' pockets because they were paid more for their livestock, he said.
It would be interesting to see if Southland meat companies would work closer together, as suggested in the red meat sector strategy, he said.
The strategy addressed aligned procurement and market co-ordination. "It'll be good to see if they've got the appetite to address either of those issues," he said.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand economic service executive director Rob Davison said Southland processors were forecast to pay about $20 less per head of prime lamb next season.
Blue Sky Meats also reported a net loss after tax, of $449,000, for the year ending March 31.

Comments Thread For: Brook, Hearn Eye Early 2013 Return, Khan Mega-Bout
Kell Brook clinically dispatched Hector Saldivia to book a shot at a world title, but conceded he may put his dream on ice in order to pursue a fight with Amir Khan.
The self-styled 'Special One' needed just two rounds and 28 seconds to beat the man known as 'El Tigre' in their IBF welterweight final eliminator at the Motorpoint Arena. A crack at the belt he has craved since he was a nine-year-old now awaits against Devon Alexander, but the name of domestic rival Khan hung over his post-bout press conference.

IN 2002, MAINE EMBARKED on a bold educationalinitiative intent on preparing its students for living and prosperingin the 21st century. Since its launch, the Maine LearningTechnology Initiative (MLTI) has providedall of the state's middle school students, and their teachers, withlaptop computers. All Maine middle schools are equipped withwireless connectivity, allowing students and teachers to use theirlaptops during the school day in a variety of settings and contexts.Students can also take their laptops home for use during theevening, weekends, and school vacations.
In support of MLTI, school districts provide technical help to teachers and students, while a "teacher leader" at each middle school site helps teachers integrate the laptops into their curriculum and instruction.
Six years into its implementation, Maine's laptop program is demonstrating the benefits a 1-to-1 initiative can have on education. In a recent study from the Maine Education Policy Research Institute, more than 80 percent of teachers say the laptops have made them better able to diversify and individualize their curriculum and instruction, and an equal percentage report that the laptops have helped them explore topics in greater depth with their students, and better assist students in meeting Maine's learning standards.
Teachers also say that the 1-to-1 program has improved how and what their students are learning, and the quality of the work they produce. They cite improvements in students' ability to integrate information from multiple sources, study real-life problems, and express ideas. On their end, students agree that the quality of their work has gotten better, which dovetails with their feelings that they better understand what they are learning. Compellingly, about three-quarters of Maine's middle school students report that they are more interested in school as a result of having their own laptops.
But the data that speaks most persuasively to the success of the initiative is beginning to surface, indicating that the 1-to-1 plan is having a positive impact on achievement. Eighth-grade writing scores on Maine's statewide assessment were compared before and after laptops were introduced into the schools. Scores improved approximately one-third of a standard deviation-- meaning that the average student in 2005 scored better than roughly two-thirds of all students in the state before the adoption of the laptop initiative. Another interesting finding showed that economically disadvantaged students who used their laptops extensively while writing outperformed their economically advantaged classmates who wrote without the aid of laptops.
Economically disadvantaged students who used theirlaptops extensively while writing outperformed theireconomically advantaged classmates who wrote without the aid of laptops.
In mathematics, for the past two years, Maine has been studying the impact of technology-infused professional development on helping teachers improve students' pre-algebra skills. Using a randomized control trial, a group of teachers were provided comprehensive face-to-face, technology-based professional development activities designed to improve their own content and pedagogical knowledge as well as their skill in using the laptops for math instruction.
The performance of the students of this experimental group of teachers was far better on the state's math achievement test than the performance of the students belonging to a control group of teachers who did not receive professional development. However, students' improved scores were dependent on whether or not their teachers' own content knowledge had improved, and whether the teachers used instructional strategies and assessments that were aligned with the achievement test.
Data on the laptop program has also revealed some critical components that play key roles in the success of MLTI. These include strong administrative support, ongoing professional development, the use of laptops as instructional tools to facilitate learning, and the matching of instruction with assessment.
Research is continuing on MLTI's impact on teaching and learning, as well as its impact on student achievement. To facilitate this work, former Maine Gov. Angus King, who initiated the laptop initiative during his term in office, led a successful effort to create the Maine International Center for Digital Education on the campus of the University of Southern Maine. The center will be devoted to advancing the work of using technology to advance learning.
David L. Silvernail is director of the Center for Education Policy,Applied Research, and Evaluation at the University of Southern Maine.

Gay slang for the accumulation of sweat, dead skin cells, and so forth behind the testicles. Evidently, some enjoy its taste and smell.

- 'Not marking churches in DP not an omission'
Mumbai: In a first, BMC commissioner Ajoy Mehta has written to the Archbishop of Bombay, putting to rest apprehensions in the community over the fact that several heritage churches have not been marked in the draft Development Plan (DP) 2034. Mehta has clarified that not marking churches does not amount to omission but it is part of a "considered policy" for the draft DP. On July 27, Oswald Cardinal Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, had spoken to Mehta and voiced the Christian community's concerns that heritage churches such as Mount Mary Basilica, Mount Carmel and St Andrew's Church were not marked in the draft DP, unlike in the earlier DP. The BMC move comes even before the official hearings for the suggestions and objections submitted to the civic body begins. Now Mehta, in a written reply to the Archbishop's House, has clarified that this is not an error and assured that all structures marked in the earlier DPs that already stand developed would continue to be termed as "designations" in the subsequent DPs. The BMC letter, a copy of which is with TOI, explains the term "designation" as "a public amenity provided or aided by an appropriate authority on a parcel of land. Designations by inference are reservations that have already been developed. It also follows that designations were reservations in the earlier DPs and have since fructified in terms of provisions of specified public amenities. Hence, all designations in the earlier DPs that already stand developed would post-development continue to be termed as designations in the subsequent DPs. Such designations continue till the time they exist, unless altered or rescinded by an order of the competent authority," states the letter. The letter has further clarified that since a designation assumes the characteristics of a public amenity, designating one subjects it to possible acquisition. "Acquisition is a two-way street. Either the MCGM as the planning authority can initiate acquisition or the owner could seek its acquisition after a lapse of ten years. In case of churches under discussion, this is neither the intended purpose of the BMC nor of the owning private body," the letter further states. BMC commissioner Ajoy Mehta confirmed the letter to TOI. The Archbishop of Bombay was not available for comment as he was travelling. However, it is learned that the archdiocese's estate department, as well as legal and development experts are in the process of studying the contents of the letter.
- Church Street to be 'white-topped'
BENGALURU: If all goes as per the promise of Bengaluru Development Minister KJ George, Church Street, one of city's prime streets hit with infrastructure woes, will be out of the mess within three months. The minister who inspected the road on Wednesday directed the BBMP to redevelop the road under white topping method. "White topping is more durable than the traditional asphalting. In traditional asphalting regular maintenance and relaying are needed once in three years. Whereas the maintenance would be zero in white topping and would last for nearly 30 years," he said. George directed civic agencies including BWSSB, Bescom and others to shift their utilities to the corners of the road to put an end to road digging works along the 1.2 kms stretch. "Even the optical fibre and other cables should be laid below footpath and slab system should be provided to fix them in case of glitches. BBMP has been directed to go for a short term tender and finish off the works within three months," he added. The minister also directed BWSSB officials to set right the overflowing manholes. White topping for 220 kms length of roads George said to ensure pothole free rides to motorists, BBMP will be developing 220 kms length of city roads under white topping method at a total cost of Rs 800 crore. He inspected a similar work along Kasturba Road said that white topped roads will last for at least 25 to 30 years.
- Churches gear up for Mother Teresa's canonization
With Mother Teresa set to be canonized a saint by Pope Francis on September 4, celebrations are being planned by the Catholic church in Bihar, especially in Patna, where she stayed for a few months in 1948 for a nursing training programme before commencing her work with the poor and the deprived.
- Internal issues return to Jacobite church
KOTTAYAM: After a gap, internal issues in the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church has again propped up. The latest issue have been following the decision of an emergency Synod of the church held at Puthencruz on Thursday to take over the administration of the Kottayam diocese from Metropolitan Thomas Mor Themotheos. The interest showed by Themotheos for conducting the funeral of Priayanaka Chopra's grandmother had also invited the ire of a section of the church. The decision taken by the Synod to take over the administration of the Diocese by the Catholicose was stayed on Friday as per the Constitution of the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. The decision of the Patriarch was based on the petition submitted by Metropolitan Thomas Mor Themotheos. The Patriarch has also made it clear that a five-member committee will be constituted to probe on the allegations against the Metropolitan. The Synod had taken the decision based on the complaint filed by some priests against the Metropolitan. The main allegation was that the Metropolitan was holding the properties of the church under a private trust. However, Metropolitan in a press conference said that this complaint given by the clergy committee was withdrawn on January 2. However, they send the complaint again to the Catholicose and the Patriarch, said Thimotheos. According to Themotheos, majority of the Metropolitans were not present for the Synod. The decision of the Synod was not based on the Assets of the Kottayam Diocese, but instead the difference of opinion between some priests and laymen, said a press note from the Metropolitan's office. A meeting of the representatives of the Priests and laity was held at St Joseph's cathedral here on Friday and swore full faith in the decision taken by the patriarch. Priests and faithful from the 43 Churches and attended the meeting.
- Kerala Church allows cremation option to priests
MUMBAI: Across the country, and particularly in Mumbai, the Christian community has been clamouring for more burial grounds. Over the past three years, large morchas were led through civic wards from Goregaon to Dahisar where there is a vast population of Catholics.Now this nationwide shortage of space for burial has prompted the Mar Thoma Church which is headquartered in Kerala to allow cremation for its clergymen. Earlier, laypersons alone could opt for cremation after securing written permission from their bishop. Now that privilege has been extended to priests as well.The traditional preference for burial as a means of disposal arises from the Christian belief in resurrection. Over time though, the priestly class has wisely propagated the understanding that God will restore life irrespective of the method used to lay the remains to rest.It is estimated that there are approximately 20,000 Mar Thoma Kerala Christians in Mumbai. The deceased of this community are interred in the common Christian cemeteries where separate space is often demarcated for Catholics, Protestants and other sects.A priest who officiates at the Mar Thoma Church in Goregaon says they received the letter from the Metropolitan in Kerala a few days ago. The implications and modalities are yet to be worked out. However it is safely assumed that the prayer rituals will be performed in the parish church before the remains are transported to the crematorium.The priest has not addressed his congregation over the matter yet but says it is a matter of time before the community will have to face up to the issue.The Catholic Church has never taken exception to cremation. Fr Nigel Barrett, spokesman for the archdiocese of Bombay, says, "It is an alternative that any Catholic could opt for, indeed a number of people have done so. Some choose cremation for convenience. Those who are abroad do so because they wish to bring the ashes back to India."Fr Nigel quotes the Canon Law on ecclesiastical funerals to say that this ritual honours their bodies, and at the same time brings the solace of hope to the living. "It must be performed according to liturgical norms. The Church earnestly recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the deceased be observed. Nevertheless, the Church does not prohibit cremation unless it was chosen for reasons contrary to Christian doctrine," he says.Anil Dhotre, caretaker at Chandanwadi crematorium, Marine Lines, says that the electric crematorium is open to all communities. In fact singer Jagjit Singh's last rites were performed here. "Christians and Parsis come often. Parsi priests accompany the remains for the final prayer which is said here but the Christians perform their rituals in church and then come. They are given access to the electric crematorium. The wood pyre is reserved for Hindus."

Selective DRI Masking vs HDR - DRI Version
I've been requested to demonstrate the differences between my selective DRI masking technique and standard HDR (Photomatic).
This is my specific selective DRI masking technique which I've presented at a few workshops and in the classes I teach and first things to point out is that you only need a single RAW image to use DRI.
You can use multi images, and I could have combined layer blending to get a little more of the subtle details out of the clouds compared to the HDR version. The biggest advantage with DRI is the sharpness. Since it isn't combining multiple images, it reduces the ghosting and misregistration that happens in HDR and of course you can control the precise location of where you want the effect by using gradient masks. The gravel in the bottom right corner exhibits less more neutral balance.
The clouds are more dramatic using DRI only because this is a single exposure, while HDR combines the images, which created a more dreamy soft (velvety) look to it. It might be more subjective to each person of which one they prefer. For me, the fact that I can get near identical results of HDR with a single exposure is reason enough to use selective DRI Masking
I should also mention that if you're doing a slideshow comparison it will look different because I did apply a lens profile adjustment on the DRI version. I forgot to do that before I ran it through Photomatix on the HDR version. So you'll see some of the barrel distortion in this version has been eliminated and a little cropped as a result with less peripheral illumination errors.

People often use drugs of abuse to regulate mood states, especially negative moods (Thorberg & Lyvers 2006). Alcohol drinkers report that they use alcohol both to enhance positive affect (PA) and to reduce dysphoria (Cooper et al. 1995; Kassel, Jackson & Unrod 2000), and alcohol-dependent patients specifically state reduction of negative affect (NA) as a primary reason for drinking (Woody, Urshel & Alterman 1992). In addition, treatment-seeking alcoholic patients often suffer from co-morbid psychiatric disorders, including major depression, dysthymia, phobias, anxiety and panic disorders (Hesselbrock, Meyer & Keener 1985; Black, Winokur & Nasrallah 1987; Powell et al. 1987; Ross, Glaser & Germanson 1988; Herz et al. 1990; Tomasson & Vaglum 1995). Thorberg & Lyvers (2006) found that mood self-regulation is impaired in substance abusers and suggested that this impairment may predispose to substance abuse and addiction.
Compared with healthy individuals, patients suffering from depression, phobias, anxiety disorders and panic disorders show an attentional bias towards negative stimuli compared with positive or neutral stimuli (Mathews, Ridgeway & Williamson 1996; Bradley, Mogg & Lee 1997; Spector, Pecknold & Libman 2003; Lang & Sarmiento 2004). A similar attentional bias has been noted among alcoholics. In a study by Stormark et al. (2000) using the Stroop task, alcohol-dependent patients showed a bias towards negative emotional words. This bias could be related to co-morbid psychiatric disorders, alcoholism itself or a combination of both.
In addition to biased attention to negative stimuli, patients with substance abuse problems have an attentional bias towards drug-related cues. This has been reported in individuals with alcohol (Stetter et al. 1995; Bauer & Cox 1998; Cox, Yeates & Regan 1999; Stormark et al. 2000; Sharma, Albery & Cook 2001; Townshend & Duka 2001; Cox et al. 2002; Ryan 2002), cocaine (Rosse et al. 1993, 1997; Franken, Kroon & Hendriks 2000a; Franken et al. 2000b), opiate (Franken et al. 2000b; Lubman et al. 2000), marijuana (Field 2005) and nicotine (Gross, Jarvik & Rosenblatt 1993; Johnsen et al. 1997; Franken et al. 2000b) dependence, as well as among caffeine users (Yeomans et al. 2005). Robinson & Berridge (1993) suggest that stimuli associated with drugs of abuse become particularly salient and therefore 'grab attention' more than non-drug-related stimuli. Drug cues have motivational significance because they predict a rewarding event to substance abusers and therefore tend to dominate attentional resources.
This attentional bias to drug cues can be shown using brain imaging techniques. Several imaging studies have shown that specific brain regions are more highly activated by drug and alcohol-associated cues compared with neutral cues in drug users (Grant et al. 1996; Maas et al. 1998; Breiter & Rosen 1999; Childress et al. 1999; Garavan et al. 2000; Braus et al. 2001; George et al. 2001; Schneider et al. 2001; Wexler et al. 2001). Alcoholics show increased activation to visual alcohol cues in the anterior thalamus, prefrontal cortex (George et al. 2001) and ventral putamen, (Braus et al. 2001), and a study using alcohol odors reported increased activity among alcoholics in the right amygdala, hippocampus and cerebellum (Schneider et al. 2001).
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain activation in response to combination images that juxtaposed negatively and positively valenced emotional images with alcohol and non-alcohol beverages in both hospitalized alcoholics and healthy non-alcoholics. This study tests the hypotheses that alcoholics will show more activation in limbic regions and in the visual ventral processing stream to negative images than positive images, and that a higher-order emotion valence by beverage-type interaction will be evident where alcohol cues will modulate the response to negative images in alcoholics but not in control participants. We also hypothesized that patients with higher anxiety scores would show increased activation to negative pictures, and this effect may also be modulated by the alcohol cues.

Travel Troubles
A tourist from the United Kingdom lost two fingertips in an accident on a boat ride at Florida's Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, a local emergency official said.
The 57-year-old man's fingertips were severed on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in the resort's Magic Kingdom theme park.
The injury occurred as he was holding onto a boat with his fingertips outside the vessel, said Reedy Creek Fire Department Assistant Chief Bo Jones.
The man, whose name was not released, was hospitalised in stable condition. The severed fingertips - on the ring and pinky fingers of his right hand - were not recovered, Jones said.
The Pirates of the Caribbean ride was shut down for a couple of hours, then reopened to visitors after being deemed safe, said Disney resort spokeswoman Jacquee Whaler.
The ride has safety warnings cautioning guests to keep their limbs inside the boats.

Poogan's Porch Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
Have dined here before and the place is ...
Have dined here before and the place is a classic Charleston gem not to be missed. We just recently had to start looking for gluten-free options, and they did make an effort to accommodate the request - it would be great if there were more gf options available on the regular menu and that they were more clearly presented (menu only listed one, but our server got creative - kudos to her).
Excellent service, and great food. Acous ...
Excellent service, and great food. Acoustics in the place are a little loud but that was to be expected. It didn't help that there was a table full of sorority girls talking and laughing loudly about their night. Oh to be young again...good nonetheless. Make a reservation! Wait seems like it gets long. The place is hoppin!
This place was highly recommended but we ...
This place was highly recommended but we did not have such a great experience! As we sat down, water brought to our table, server spilled water all over my husband, table and floor and never cleaned it up we had to ask for extra napkins at a later time to clean up the mess! We ordered scallops, presentation was beautiful but half way through my meal I found a black hair cooked into one of my scallops! That sure ruins the dinner! After showing the server, she immediately took it away and apologized, it was taken off our bill but I only got a chance to eat half of my meal, portions are not big either...that was very disappointing! I was never offered a new meal...left hungry and frustrated...
We arrived for our 9AM reservation aroun ...
We arrived for our 9AM reservation around 8:50. The line wrapped around the building. No one went inside until well after nine. I'm not sure why. The host/hostess areas smells
Like an old house that someone kept cats In and smoked. Terrible. Breakfast platter my girlfriend ordered had a short curly hair in the eggs. We sent that back. When we got the replacement I wasn't much on eating. The Bloody Mary was great and the server (think Ben) was great. Some random guy in the parking lot said we owed him $6. I was so frustrated T that point he got the money so I could get back to Mt Pleasant.
I have been to Poogan"s Porch a few time ...
I have been to Poogan"s Porch a few times. The food is good, and on my most recent visit my filet was delicious. The server was overall very attentive. The location is great, it's near both the residential area and shopping. I noticed something that is a bit of a pet peeve of mine though the past TWO times I went there the server removed my cocktail before I was finished with it. This is in her haste to turn the table I suppose, but I find it kind of embarrassing to have to say "I'm not done with that". When you pay $12 for a cocktail you want to drink the entire thing. Also, I really wanted a salad but I wanted a piece of chicken, steak or fish added to it. When I asked If I could add some protein to my salad my server looked at me like I was crazy. Well, she said she would have to go talk to the chef. Note to Poogan's, nearly every restaurant offers this option.

We went to Poogans Porch to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed. Our server was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make our dining an experience. He brought us complementary champange before the meal and a complementary desert. I am a people watcher and I enjoyed watching his interactions with other diners. The food was delicious and affordably priced. We will be back.

Noisy, overpriced, waiter spoke so fast when talking about specials that with the noise level we just nodded and ignored him. Couldn't understand a thing he said. She crab soup was way too thick, but not with crab as it was heavy base and too many vegetables. Child crying across the room. No noise abatement used anywhere. Not an enjoyable experience. We live locally and Poogan's Porch has been added to our list of restaurants reserved for tourists and probably single visits.

Our second visit. Food was good. Noise level was disturbing. Three tables of a wedding party. Please make arrangements for groups such as this to have their own room. You are going to "mess up" a good place if you continue to allow this to occur.

So yummy! We had the Chicken and Waffels and Fried Chicken sandwich for brunch! The biscuits served before our meal were also amazing, they even gave us the recipe!! Thank you Poogan's Porch for a great first meal experience in Charleston!!!

This is the 4th time I have been to Poogans Porch. I make it a note to go everytime I visit Charleston. You cannot beat the food! My only complaint was the noise level. They put a party of 17 in a room with 3 parties of 4. We went early, and the restaurant was not full, so this was very frustrating. This is the only time this has ever happened so I don't think this will stop me from going back, but it was frustrating. It ruined an otherwise amazing experience!

An outstanding meal during our stay in Charleston, SC. I ordered the duck entree and it was superb! The duck breast was exceptional, wonderful texture, taste and cooked to perfection. Absolutely the BEST DUCK I've had, in the world!!! Service was super from the minute we came through the door, with prompt courteous and friendly servers, nice suggestions, and good pace on delivering the orders. We sat in one of the interior rooms, a nice intimate ambiance. Plenty of food, nice wine selections and a truly great meal. Highly recommend Poogan's Porch when you are in Charleston.

Atmosphere could have been quite nice and charming. However, there was a nasty, funky smell in the bar area. Smelled kind of like spilled booze and sweet drinks after a big party that was never properly cleaned up. Dining area was fine - no nasty smell. BUT, there was a four top with a small child and baby/maybe two year who SCREAMED throughout their entire meal. Food was flying, kid was out of control, and parents just sat there leisurely eating and drinking wine. Our waitress was very apologetic, but the manager should have stepped in. I'm not opposed to children dining in fine dining restaurants (that's how they learn to appreciate eating out, IMHO), provided parents remove said children when they are disruptive. Poogans handled this situation very poorly. Full disclosure - they did reduce our bill after I complained to the manager, but the damage was already done. As for the food, it was OK. Overall, very heavy, with minimal flavor. We won't be back.

Great staff, beautiful setting and great food and cocktails. I got the mystic cocktail that was very refreshing but also packed a punch, and the vegetarian dish which was seasoned perfectly. Our waitress was very sweet and got all our requests perfectly the first time around. Would definitely return!!

Just after I got up from clicking the post button I realized no, simply placing the filter on top of the barrel of the lens is not correct for obvious reasons. If there is little distance between the glass the actual front of the barrel then most of the filter will be outside the view. If the lens barrel has an extension well beyond the glass like my old FD 55 macro did that would make a difference.
How do you find that distance you are referring to in any particular lens?

Today I celebrate you momma for shaping who I am today. Your love never stopped no matter what terrible mishap we got ourselves into. Your main goal has always been for us to live a "happy" life. Seems simple but that concept is far from that. Chasing happiness is the secret to success. You taught me the meaning of hard work by being the example. YOU changed the world without even trying. I love you momma and to all the beautiful mothers out there #happymothersday – Love, JFiled under:
