3.49/5 rDev -16.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Poured into a beer glass.
A - Pours a somewhat murky amber color (I poured it a little fast and there was a reasonable amount of sediment). The half finger of head slowly dissipates to a fine lacing.
S - Very hoppy with some malt and carmel in the background.
T - Somewhat off pine/resinous hop flavor up front. A little bit of malt in there but mostly hops, hop and more hops.
M - Medium mouth feel with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O - An average American style barley wine. Not very well balanced. Maybe in 3 years the hops would have dropped out some but here and now not very pleasing and I like barley wines.

12oz 2013 bottle poured into a BFM globe.
A- Murky brown. No head or lacing, some slow bubbles, looks flat.
S- Honey, malt, toffee, leather, bitter hops deep within, and some vanilla. Smell is muted but nice.
T- Sweet malt juice with a slight hint of bitter hops. So good. It has all you want in the flavor. Sweet honey, vanilla, toffee, leather, tobacco and bitter soap with a crisp pine tar finish.
M- No carbonation, medium body with a viscus mouthfeel. No sign of high ABV with a good crisp finish that lingers on the palate.
O- I've had it aged and now fresh and its world class either way. What a great beer. Worth finding and aging or drinking fresh!!

on tap at the brewery, Portland
Murky leather brown with taupe rings.
Bright fresh orange hard candy nose with chocolate bark and coffee sweetness.
Leather, coffee candy, burnt sugar, date and dried apricot, then a bit does of orangey hops.
Werthers finish and brown sugar syrup linger.
Lots of complexity, if not hops. Piles of sweetness that could use more IBUs for balance - I get the Amarillo, but not the Simcoe. A great winter sipper.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, 2012 vintage bottling. Big crack upon opening, very highly carbonated. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy ruby red color with a 2-3 finger foamy light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings around the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, citrus rind, pine, pepper, floral, grass, caramel, toast, brown sugar, raisin, honey, herbal, and floral earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of hop and malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, orange zest, citrus rind, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, raisin, honey, floral, grass, pine, herbal, and floral/toasted earthiness. Fair amount of earthy floral/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, orange zest/rind, pine, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, raisin, honey, floral, herbal, and floral/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops with dark malt/honey flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately slick and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent barleywine. All around great balance and complexity of malt and hop flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

12oz bottle of the 2011 vintage, so 2 years old at this point. Thanks Doug for bringing this one over. Poured into a Toppling Goliath snifter today, 2/5/2014.
App- Very hazy, cloudy medium-dark brown body. Looks like muddy water, kind of disgusting actually. Minimal head, minimal retention, no lacing.
Smell- Dark fruits, molasses, sugar, tart fruits- perhaps freshly cut apple or pear- caramel, toffee. Hints of earthiness.
Flavour- I assume this has mellowed out really well. Molasses, brown sugar, caramel, toffee dominate. A little bit of what I perceive as vanilla. Slight earthy backend.
Mouthfeel- Thick bodied, somewhat creamy, good carbonation despite being 2 years old. Interestingly, the backend is sweeter than it is early.
Overall- Nice drinking barleywine. I'm going to have to get a bottle to try fresh, but I can already say that 2 years of age definitely has to have helped this beer; at the very least it didn't hurt it.

Pours a murky brown color with a dismal off white head that dissipates instantly. Smells of citrus brown sugar caramel a bit of alcohol. Tastes of caramel and citrus, lots of lemon comes through. Some alcohol mixed with a mild astringency and some yeasty flavors round this one out. Sweet almost cloying but offset with the lemon and alcohol. The body on this is thinner than you'd think. Carbonation is very low. Mouthfeel is syrupy and sticky. Based on the other reviews I may have gotten a bad bottle. I will revisit this one as I have a couple more bottles, but as is this one is going to clean my kitchen sink.
2013 Bottle from craft shack shared with HoppasaurusRex.
Pours a murky brown color with a couple of hollow bubbles floating on the top. The aroma is stagnant molasses, brown sugar, malt syrup and honey with hints of earth and citrus. The flavor is sweet sugary unfermented wort with hints of citrus. Sticky syrupy mouthfeel, marginal carbonation with a medium to thick body. This beer went down Todd's sink. I don't know why I can't seem to find a decent bottle of this beer, but I might just be done with HOTD altogether.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
A: Dark, almost gray, nearly black, slightly purple tinted orange with a small tan head that fades to a ring.
S: Red grapes, green grapes, apricot, apple and maybe pear in the nose.
T: Slightly sour grape notes, alcohol is definitely present, but not off-putting. Some malt, some dark fruit, medium bodied, not overly carbonated but not flat, pretty good balance. Taste is very much like a quad to me. On later sips there are strangely placed, yet inviting and welcome notes of chocolate and roasted malt. As the glass empties I'm getting a very pleasant orange and papaya, and the nose is dominated by the scent of alcohol (a taster sized snifter). On a more vigorous second pour, I'm getting orange in the nose, as well as some papaya. Definitely complex, every sip has something different.
M: Medium-full bodied and smooth.
O: Really good, but everything I have by them makes me want to try their "From the Wood" beers. I don't think I can say much more about this beer than I've already said.

Type: 12-oz. bottle
Glass: Sea Smoke oversized wine glass
From: Whole Foods in Hillcrest (San Diego), Calif.
Price: $6.99
Purchased: Jan. 4, 2014
Consumed: Jan. 10, 2014
Misc.: N/A
Poured a brown murky color with about one finger of tan head that dissipated almost immediately. Seemed to be a lot of sediment at the bottom of the glass. Minimal lacing on the sides of the glass. Minimal retention on the tops of the glass.
Smelled a potent mix of hops and malts from the get-go. Got sugary caramel malts, brown sugar, Werther's candy, toffee, honey, Amarillo hops (I think), earthy hops, grass hops and some type of liquor.
Tasted so damn smooth from the get-go, really the opposite of what I was expecting. Got Werther's candy, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, honey, butterscotch and buttery malts.
Medium body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Long, smooth, warming finish. Alcohol was well hidden. Best part of the beer by far.
Nowhere as good as I hoped it would be, especially considering the $6.99 price tag on a 12-oz. bottle. Very smooth and a nice sipping beer though.

my first beer from this fabled brewery. it is the 2011 vintage, and marked 11% abv on the 12oz. bottle. its hazy and caramel colored, dense looking, and showing less than an inch of white lazy froth. i smell a ton of toffee, sweet english malt and ale yeast, not dissimilar from so many other traditional barleywines. thick and syrupy is the feel, but the alcohol is impressively well hidden, perhaps this beers biggest surprise. its clearly malt forward, sweet enough for any palate, and grounded in an earthy brown butter cream type of desserty vibe that makes it a less than perfect preprandial libation, but which showcases a richness and simultaneous delicacy that really work. better when its warm, and still tame on the alcohol front, this is a well done beer, but probably not the best barleywine ive ever had, which i sort fo expected it to be given the hype on this brewery, or at least a few of its beers. happy with it, not overjoyed.

smells like one of those chocolate with orange jelly confections... the bottle has hops aromas though...
no head, 2013 version. just had the JW Lees' British version of an English barleywine, so a comparison is in order!
again, the smell is just like one of those chocolate-orange confections. taste has the orange also, a little syrup-y, a tiny bit of alcohol, lesser amounts of chocolate, hops, and more candy.
overall, it's okay. got a little too much of the sediment in the glass so beware when you pour it.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle (2012 vintage) into a Hair of the Dog Brewery & Tasting Room branded tulip glass
Pours a hazy deep, amber capped by a two finger off white head. Plenty of pine sap, caramel, toffee, and hints of citrus on the nose. Big caramel malt upfront, toffee, and grainy biscuit accents. Finishes semi-dry with pine sap and caramel coated grapefruit and citrus rind bitterness. Moderate carbonation, big full, silky yet syrupy body. Slight creaminess on the finish. An excellent American barleywine. The hops still make a huge statement, even after being cellared for a year.

2013 vintage poured into tulip glass
Appearance: Pours a wonderfully rich and dark mahogany color. Beer is cloudy and bottle had quite a bit of sediment despite being fresh. The sumptuous head has great retention, leaving lots of lacing and a cap that remains throughout the tasting.
Smell: Only slightly boozy with the 11% abv. Wonderfully amount of malt with a good amount of citrus hops just under the the alcohol.
Taste: Good amount of hops on the finish that hides any sense of alcohol except for the exhale. The malts come off as a sweet bread. Very nice. Should age nicely.
Mouthfeel: There is a great amount of body to this beer, but the alcohol cuts it nicely. The carbonation is just right.
Overall: This is a great beer. It should age nicely as it says, but already a great beer.

4.15/5 rDev -1%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Appearance- Pours up a good amount of head which has pretty good retention. The head is a medium beige while the body is an opaque maroon that appears as a muddy maroon/dark amber when held up to the light. Leaves behind considerable lacing that sometimes appears as sheeting.
Nose- Bright and vibrant hops. Not exactly what I expect from a barleywine but it is the American version. Lots of citrus- orange, lemon, and grapefruit. These fade and show tons of peaches. There are also notes of candied fruit and raisins. The aroma portends a beer that is delicious both fresh and aged. Swirling shows light peach.
Taste- Not quite as hoppy as the nose and shows a more traditional barleywine flavor profile. Still, plenty of citrus (orange, lemon, and grapefruit) and also tons of peach. This leads into raisin and a good amount of woodiness on the finish (oak, pine, and resin). The citrus gives the beer an almost mimosa like quality and I really like the clean and effervescent orange. Some brown bread and dark malts. Light caramel and a bit of honey. No hint of the 11% which makes this a very scary beer. Good to really good beer. I will definitely be buying at least two to three more to see what a little aging will produce. Peach is by far the most dominant aspect of the flavor profile and that works very well for this beer. Complexity with great balance and integration which isn't something you find in a lot of young barleywines.
Mouthfeel- A little more than medium bodied with a good amount of syrup on the texture. Good amount of carbonation for one of HOTD's bigger beers. Even has a little bit of zing.
Drinkability- Dangerous- I can't find any indication of the 11% and this drinking a lot quicker than it should. 6 bucks a bottle seems reasonable for a tasty and very good barleywine.
Overall- Very good beer but not exactly a great beer. It is close but lacks some of the intense complexity and presence that the great barleywines have. Definitely worth a try.

2011 batch.
A: Pours a hazy sort of reddish-brown. Tall, fluffy light brown head. Head fades very slowly with great retention. Just a little splotch of lacing here and there.
S: Big and rich malts. Heavy on the caramel, heavy on the dark fruits - primarily raisin. Prunes too I think. Very sweet smelling.
T: Again, very malty but there is a surprising little bite of hops up front (despite being 2+ years old). A little sharp alochol up front too. Caramel and dark fruits abound as well. Big bready malt is here now too with a touch of brown sugar.. Sort of a sweetbread taste I'd say. More like bread crusts in the finish. Lots of malt flavors, naturally. Touch of booziness again in the aftertaste. Lingering spicy alcohol and piney hoppiness between sips.
M: Fairly heavy but the booziness cuts it nicely.
O: A nice hoppy (I'm sure much hoppier fresh) and malty barleywine. Showcases some really nice and complex malt notes with just enough hops and alcohol to cut down the thickness and sweetness. Well balanced to boot. Easily the best HOTD beer I've had to date.

2012 bottle
a brown/amber in color with 2 fingers of creme colored head (probably the most head i've seen in a barley wine and i approve!), took a picture with flash and spotted a bunch of sediment chunks on the bottom of the glass.. gives it a nice homebrew feel.
the aroma up front has a bit of oxidation, some notes of soapy pine, caramel, brown sugar.. definitely getting a lot of barley juicyness from deep sniffs.
the flavor up front has a slight banana hint, raisins, caramel, barley sugary sweetness, goes into a darker brown sugar flavor with a nice biscuity maltyness, nutty, slightly toasted notes.. this is a wonderful tasting treat. the body is medium/full with a bit of carbonation that adds a little life and separates this from most beers of its style - for being 11%+, you get absolutely no alcohol burn.. this along with the flavor can be a deadly combination.
i really am enjoying this beer - couldn't wait another month to pop it open on christmas, but here's to a late celebration of life for my 2nd son. honestly after a stressful few weeks and a few more to come (hurdles in life, they happen).. this is a fantastic way to distract the mind.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Hair of the Dog tulip. 2011 vintage, so 2yrs old at this point. Bought for $5.49 at Total Wine in Tustin CA.
A - Very cloudy (dirty) brown and not a pleasant shade;-) Off white head leaves excellent lacing.
S - Brown sugar, dates, cat piss (in a good way).
T - Again leads in w/ sweet brown sugar, dates and finishes in a slightly black pepper, spicy note w/ a dose of catpiss hops (after 2yrs!!). Everything is very smooth, no alcohol burn. All flavors meld nicely. Nothing overwhelms.
M - Full body and very creamy. Carbonation is soft and is perfect for the body and style.
O - Great beer! The age has really mellowed it in a great way. Would even let this age a few more years as it doesn't seem to have degraded and might get even better.

2012 Vintage
Beer is a dark toffee brown. Just about zero head results from the pour,just a little bit of bubble.
Nose is heavy and rich. Deep, sweet malts, lots of toffee and caramel. Despite some age, there is a hop aroma- pine and resin stick out. A bit of wood. Some dark fruit but not a lot. Smells a bit like a heavy liquor, perhaps cognac. Nice.
Taste is similar. Heavy caramel and toffee flavours, extremely rich. There is some dark fruit, perhaps plum. Again, the hops present some resin and pine flavours. The alcohol is noticeable, particularly in the finish.
Full bodied, quite heavy and thick. However, despite the heavyness, there is an odd watery feel that is out of place. Quite sticky. Some heat.
Overall, a bit on the hot and heavy side, but pretty tasty.

The beer being reviewed is a 2010 vintage.
A - Pours an amber tan color with some slight chill haze and a very rock, billowing cream colored head and very nice carbonation. As the beer warms the haze slowly subsides to a nice clear, amber copper color.
S - Caramel, toffee, very slightly boozy, and a little vinous; because of the age there's no hop aroma in the nose. For 11.5% it doesn't jump out of the glass like I thought it would.
T - Sweet toffee and caramel malt with a small amount of oranges and ends with a boozy light pine bitter finish. Although it wasn't present in the nose so much the alcohol is definitely present with moderate warming in the back of the throat as it slides down. Slightly woody and malt forward. The orange comes through more after the finish as it coats the mouth over top of the lightly toasted toffee/caramel.
M - Thick and full bodied with very gentle carbonation. Has a nice lingering coating of oranges on the back end.
O - This definitely got better as the beer warmed to room temperature. Would seek out again and prefer to try a younger one next time to experience some of the hop bitterness, this was on the sweeter side. The aroma was pretty light but the taste made up for the shortfall.

Doggie Claws – 2012 Big thanks to brooklynbrews for this extra.
12oz bottle into my FW snifter glass.
*Notes taken from 06/29/13.
A: Looks murky and lifeless with a dark caramel body and some ruddy brown hues. Virtually no head on it gives the impression of lower carbonation here. A little sediment floating and a watery edge to it. Almost looks like prune juice or something. Not stick or lace to speak of. Not the most attractive beer by any means.
S: Smells of booze met with sweet caramel malts and some underpinnings of dried orange peels. The aromas start to assert more stone fruit like esters on the backend as they segue into plum and date notes. Really takes on a vinous character. Representative of the style with some firm alcohol presence.
T: Tastes juicy with a big caramel malt toffee sweetness. There is a bit of raisin bread and spice with suggestions of candied citrus peel. The beer has a moderate amount of perceived bitterness and the alcohol is quite hearty adding a boozy spice. Finishes with some plumy esters and more toffee nougat. Nice Barley malt flavors and incredibly well balanced for such a big brew.
M: Feel is a little flat and watery with some light chew to it. Falls in the moderately heavy range with more of a wet finish. Alcohol warmth radiates. Rather clean overall.
D: Not my fav of the style with the slightly flat carbonation and higher octane. Does bring out some real nice malty flavors however. Not something I would pick up often. Makes for a nice seasonal sipper though.

Pours dark amber with a pretty good sized foam, two or three fingers. Head retains. Good carbonation.
Very malty, dark red fruit smell.
This is a real mouthgasm! Caramel, red fruit in the taste. Really sticky. A bit of pine.
It's pretty damned good, I'm looking forward to aging some of this.

2012 release, a 12 oz. bottle poured into a munique stemmed glass. The liquid portion comes out sort of a natural apple cider brown and just as hazy. There is a ton of setament floating around in this one. Not usually something I like , but when held up to the light it has a nice glow that I like. There's a tangerine citrus colored cap that erupts after a pretty hard pour, various different sized bubbles. Good amount of lacing and the cap sticks around for quite awhile.
Smell is awesome. The first thing to jump out at you is the hoppy smell, it's very hoppy, but it's certainly not overwhelming, probably because there's a lot going on. Hop aromas of pine and some slight citrus peel/zest and some nice floral notes going on too. It's very sweet smelling, it's almost like a candy coated date/nut blend then glazed with sweet holiday liquor. Good malt backbone and some honey sweetness as well. A touch of alcohol in the nose that warms and tickles, but not as strong as you'd expect on an ABV this high. Really nothing not to like about the smell.
Taste is just as outstanding as the smell, maybe the slightest big robust. Again, there's a great amount of sweetness, but not quite a sugar bomb that you'd expect by my description. Seriously, you can almost pick out some liquid sugar and/or honey. Still there is a super generous portion of hops and according to the label amarillo and simcoe (2 of my favorites). Not much of a taste even though it's a strong ABV. Everything blended together is quite nice, really a quality tasting beer, I'm getting upset that this beer is going away.
Mouthfeel is actually really good. As I said before, I'm not usually a fan of beers that arn't well filtered, but this is good. Full bodied in every sense of the word without crossing into the syrupy category. Sweet and smooth with a nice clean finish. Speaking of which, I can't believe how clean this beer seems to feel. Mainly because of the setament, it looks like it would feel dirty (in the bad way), but doesn't! Oh, and like most quality beers, the carbonation is done right, and there's not really a bite from the alcohol, more of a warming feeling (nice on a crisp night like tonight. A really drinkable beer too. I could have drank this a lot quicker, but I intentionally paced myself so I could enjoy this.
Really such a great beer, probably one of the best barleyywines I've ever had the privilege of trying. Thanks Gregg for a sending ANOTHER great beer. Now I'm going to hit the "review button" so I can enjoy the last ounce or two remaining.

Appearance – Pours a dark ruby copper color with a medium head that leaves a nice lacing.
Smell – Honey, raisins, caramel, and a sweet booze.
Taste –Quite a bit of hops that I didn't pick up in the smell and made it less sweet than expected. Also caramel, honey, and a touch of malt.
Mouthfeel – Very smooth and creamy; lightly carbonated.
Drinkability – A very drinkable barleywine. The bottle emptied fast for an 11.5% abv beer.

Pours a dank murky brown with a creamy beige head that sticks around. Aroma is intense of huge sweet caramel and grapefruit citrus, bitter pine and raisin - definitely can tell it is on the fresher side. Taste is incredibly sweet - butterscotch, toffee, grapefruit, dark fruits and honey. There are some slight floral notes as well. Lighter body than expected - medium and chewy.
Overall this is fantastic, the best American style barleywine I've had. There is a big fresh hop presence but does not over power.

Grandson been on slopes since Volkl

About Me Beginner
Comments about Volkl Wall Skis 2013:
I'm 15 years old and live 20 minutes from the greatest snow on earth. My friend and I are learning so fast. We're used to boarding so these are my first skis and I love them. They're light and we're loving learning all the differences. I love my skis. One came off the boot after a jump and it kept going forever. I thought I had lost it for good. Thankfully a long walk down the hill took us to it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's nice when you get what you ask for!
By Steve Mac
from Steven's Pass, WA
About Me Professional
This ski is great! It's a low snow year, and this is the tool that made it fun. It shreds from edge to edge, it actually can carve a turn! unlike most others in it's category) and is SUPER resiliant. Unlike some park skis that go flat and floppy within the week you mount them, this reinforced lil beast has been taking a BEATING from me all month long and it doesn't seem to be affected. Thats a rare quality for a ski on my foot.
Stiff, non-directional park ski
By shastown
from Golden, CO
About Me Expert
I have yet to actually use this ski, but I can tell you that this ski is pretty stiff for a park ski, it has symmetrical width dimensions about the waist of the ski, and it does not have a symmetrical flex patterns about the waist. I am really excited to ride this ski. I am 5'11 170lb a former racer and gymnast and was really looking for a fairly non-directional, stiff park ski with a reputation for being durable.
Not what i was expecting...
By Spamone
from Wyoming
After skiing on the Srcatch's for 4 years i got these, mostly because they were 185. When I mounted them I measured them (with a tape measure) and they came out to be 182.5 cm. So that was disappointing since I had gotten them because they were actually a longer park ski. They are pretty stiff and not the most fun pair of skis I've had.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am beginning on a studs-up bathroom remodeling and I am drafting the plans for the building and electrical permits. I am trying to research which building codes will apply and I'm a little overwhelmed by the "variety" offered. Between the International Building Code, Residential Code for One+ Dwellings, Existing Building Code and the Energy Conservation Code... I just don't know where to start. I'm not afraid to actually read and digest the material, but I don't need to become an expert either. I am only looking for enough information so I can make sure to pass inspections with minimal difficulties.
So, question one, which code(s) should I make sure to read and which can I ignore? Question two, which should I start with and and what order should I read them. Finally, I see a lot of illustrated guides, subject specific and condensed code books... are there any that are worth the money and will shorten my time to understanding?
the short answer is to call your local inspector or code office, or stop by, show a quick sketch and tell them what you want to do. they will tell you what they need and under what king their inspector serves, so to speak.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Excellent advise.
If you still are interested in code books, Dewalt has a very reasonably priced series of code reference books available. Well thought out with examples of all types of situations encountered in home improvement trade. You can even use the code reference in the books to do look ups in more defined terms say in the NEC. Helpful with those days when a code man tells you "this is not allowed". A polite reply of please show me why in writing always makes a fun day on the job...
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Right up there with, "Let me help you with that root canal" or "Wasn't that your wife I saw with that guy at a hotel the other day?"
Lol, I can imagine the fun.
I am actually planning to swing by the inspector's office this afternoon and have a rather significant list of questions that I'd like his/her input on. I'd still like to find some book(s) of reference that will help me feel more confident that I'm not missing some clause somewhere. I also like to have something like that on hand for reference during the parts of the remodel that are not as common for a DIYer.
Thanks for the feedback btw.

My first android phone was the Droid X; I still have it, and plan to upgrade to either the Galaxy SIII or the still-mythical Droid Razr HD.
But I keep hearing reviewers and posters on this board talk about the "pure Android experience" or "pure Google experience" of the Nexus or of some rooted phone. and in the same breath, these folk invariably snark on MotoBlur or TouchWiz.
Since Motoblur is all I've ever known, could someone explain why "pure Android" is so much better?
I've never had a problem with Motoblur: I can get to my apps, make my calls, send texts, check the weather and news, play games, watch videos, and listen to music--and it's never seemed cumbersome or impure or clumsy or whatever. So what am I missing?
Please feel free to post photos, videos, or links to help me understand. If it's that compelling, maybe I'll try to root my Droid X before upgrading.
Thanks in advance... :happy3:

Spill response and prevention plans should clearly state how to stop the source of the spill, how to contain and clean up the spill, how to dispose of contaminated materials, and how to train personnel to prevent and control future spills.
Construction sites that use or store hazardous materials should have a spill prevention and control plan. Hazardous materials include pesticides, paints, cleaners, petroleum products, fertilizers, and solvents. See the Hazardous Materials Storage fact sheet for more information on storing these materials.
Siting and Design Considerations
Identify potential spill or source areas, such as loading and unloading, storage and processing areas, places that generate dust or particulate matter, and areas designated for waste disposal. Also, spill potential should be evaluated for stationary facilities, including manufacturing areas, warehouses, service stations, parking lots, and access roads.
Material handling procedures and storage requirements should be defined and actions should be taken to reduce spill potential and impacts on stormwater quality. This can be achieved by:
The spill response plan should:
Education is essential for reducing spills. By informing people of actions they can take to reduce spill potential, spills will be reduced or prevented. Some municipalities have set up 1-800 numbers for citizens to call in the event of spills. This helps ensure that spills are cleaned up in a safe, proper, and timely manner.
A spill prevention and control plan must be well planned and clearly defined. A well conceived plan reduces the likelihood of accidental spills and helps speed an effective response if they occur. Training might be necessary to ensure that all workers can follow procedures. Equipment and materials for cleanup must be readily accessible and clearly marked for workers to be able to follow procedures.
Maintenance Considerations
Update the spill prevention and control plan to accommodate any changes in the site or procedures. Regularly inspect areas where spills might occur to ensure that procedures are posted and cleanup equipment is readily available.
A spill prevention and control plan effectively reduces the risk of surface and ground water contamination. However, to be effective, workers must be trained, materials and cleanup equipment available, and procedures followed.
Cost Considerations
Spill prevention and control plans are inexpensive to implement. However, extra time is needed to properly handle and dispose of spills, which increases labor costs.

Through its festive ambiance, vibrant décor and mouth-watering food, dining at Havana Central is like taking a mini vacation. Executive chef Stanley Licairac's traditional dishes like vacafrita, ropa vieja and arroz con pollo are a celebration of Cuban cuisine, and the cocktail list includes the some of the best mojitos and sangrias in New York.

It is odd how one's eyes and ears become particularly sensitive when you are researching a project - attuned to any possible connection that might be useful or interesting. Even though we are pressed for time, I am inclined to make a detour...

As the happy couple, Frederick and admired Elizabeth, sat in the Banqueting Hall at Whitehall to watch the King's Men perform The Tempest, there must have been a frisson of recognition as the goddesses in the masque blessed the union of Prince Ferdinand and the admired Miranda (both bride and groom had turned sixteen that August). But Frederick was a German prince, and one of the staunchest Protestant princes in Europe. What on earth was Shakespeare doing adapting the latest hit novel from Catholic Spain?...
So what to do? Abandon the idea of exploring it further, or try and reconstruct the missing scenes? I became hooked on the story and the mystery of the 'lost Shakespeare'...
There is has a huge model box on the table surrounded by little cardboard cut-outs and pieces of perspex and bubble wrap. The model box represents the Swan Theatre, in 1:25 scale. There is always a nerve-wracking moment when you first look at what the designer has placed in the box for you to see.
As we enter, I can't help grinning. It's like recognising an old friend. Niki is grinning too. And I can really begin to see the production now. I can imagine just how the play may work in this space.
Then in the most extraordinary script the word 'Cardenna'. The initial C looks like a hot cross bun, a sort of O with a cross through it. The word seemed to have its own enigmatic calligraphic flourish. And this is the start of the journey.
"And what exactly are you researching?" the admissions officer enquired. "I'm looking for the evidence of a play said to be written by Shakespeare and based on Cervantes." I said. "Hmmm..." she mused, and perched me on a chair by her desk, while she decided how to process my rather unusual application.

Humboldt County 3rd District Supervisor Mark Lovelace apologized today at the Board of Supervisors meeting for the "slap on the back" he gave to supervisors Rex Bohn and Virginia Bass at the annual California State Association of Counties conference.
"Some of what I said was trying to explain my frustration, and I think that came across as trying to justify my actions, which I can't," Lovelace said. "No matter what might have transpired beforehand, there is only one person that is responsible for my own actions and that's me."
On Nov. 20, the Coastal Counties Regional Association that Lovelace has co-chaired for several years voted to appoint Bass as its new co-chair. After the meeting, Lovelace approached Bass and Bohn and delivered what he described as "perhaps an exaggerated, good-old-boy slap on the back."
Bass said Lovelace's slap aggravated an existing shoulder injury.
"There's never justification for allowing a disagreement to become physical," Lovelace said. "And, while I didn't intend my slap on the back to be excessive, I regretfully admit that I had been."
Lovelace, who also congratulated Bass on her appointment during the board meeting, said over the past week he's had a chance to see his actions through the eyes of others. He said he clearly let his frustrations get the better of him and acted inappropriately.
"All I can do is apologize and accept the consequences of my actions and hope that the two of you, the rest of you, and the community might forgive me for treating you both so disrespectfully and for seriously overstepping personal boundaries," he said.
Bass, who represents the 4th District, responded by saying that she appreciates the apology, especially to the community. She noted that there would be an investigation -- and possibly a dismissal -- if a similar incident happened with county staff.
"We're elected so we have different paths, so I think the apology is certainly along that path," she said, adding "perhaps this isn't the time to talk about it, but I would be interested in further discussion in some anger management."
Bohn, who represents the 1st District, said he wanted to thank Lovelace for his apology and that passions run deep when you're an elected official.
"I don't think you can fault anyone for their passions because they truly believe in them, and sometimes we get a little more involved than we should and everything else," he said. "Even though we have different views, I think we admire everybody's passions because at the end of the day we're out there representing the districts and the people of Humboldt County to the best of our ability."

Friday got started with a better-than-expected jobs report for November, giving stock futures a boost into the open.
But, the looming "fiscal cliff" continued to dampen enthusiasm for investors and dominate the conversation.
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner set the tone for discussion in an exclusive interview on CNBC. The Treasury Secretary said that the Obama administration is "absolutely" ready for the U.S. economy to go over the "fiscal cliff" rather than accept a budget deal without higher taxes for the top 2-percent of wage earners.
And today, the high stakes game of financial "chicken" continued. House Speaker John Boehner spoke on Capitol Hill saying that there has been no progress in negotiations and that the White House needs to get serious.
More companies decided to move up dividend payments in order to avoid the uncertainty of the "cliff" including JB Hunt,Washington Post and Expedia, which also announced a special dividend.
One company, Seaboard Corporation, is so determined to avoid the potential for higher taxes on capital gains that it has announced a $12 dividend payable December 28 to shareholders of record on December 17. This dividend is intended to cover the next FOUR years of planned dividend payments. Wow.
Single-Stock Stories of Note:
Cisco shifting gears—In an annual meeting with analysts and reporters today, CEO John Chambers said the company wanted to grow beyond its identity as maker of network equipment and that the company had gone too long without a major acquisition. The stock initially rallied and then finished down on the session.
Avon Products—No news but, an unusually active day for the maker of beauty products, the stock was the best performer on the S&P 500.
Apple—yes, the "death cross" was achieved today where the 50-day moving average crossed the 200-day moving average on the downside. Down 8.9 percent, Apple was the biggest loser on the Nasdaq 100 and posted its worst weekly loss since May 2010. If you're thinking about buying or selling shares of Apple, watch this.
Goldman Sachs got slapped with a $1.5 million fine for failing to supervise an $8.3 billion trading position in 2007.

Valpo Inks Raegan Moore to NLI
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Valparaiso University women's basketball coach Keith Freeman has announced the signing of Raegan Moore to a National Letter of Intent to play for the Crusaders beginning in the fall.
Moore, a 6'1" guard from Girard, Pa., was a Second Team All-Pennsylvania selction at Girard High School. As a senior, she averaged 18.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and finished her career with 1,475 points. She was the Region Player of the Year in District 10. She also averaged 2.5 assists and 2.9 steals per contest for her team which finished the year 22-5 and was ranked ninth in the state in class AA.
Moore also is track and field athlete and has qualified for the state championships in the 100,200, and 400 meter events.
"Raegan is an outstanding student and athlete," Freeman said. "She is very versatile and has a great upside. She is a good driver and has a very good mid range game. I think she has the potential to be a very good college basketball player."
Moore joins Gina Lange, Skyler Gick, and Laura Richards as members of the incoming freshmen class.

I love the Hit and Run blog but there are a few clear problems with the methodology here. Hernandez wasn't anywhere near free agency when he signed his extension so his contract value bears no relationship to the others on this list. Weaver was closer to free agency but wasn't there yet AND it was the consensus that he took less money to stay in LAA. Neither of those are fair comps. I think Verlander had not reached free agency either, unless I'm mistaken. If you only consider the guys on this short list who actually were free agents when they signed their contracts, I think Burnett, Wilson, and Lackey were all thought of as 2nd or 3rd pitchers when they signed.
C'mon Lemire, you're better than that

Remote control with a Jabber Bot
To get past a firewall and into a LAN,you need either a secret backdoor or a cooperative agent on the inside. A Jabber client on the LAN contacts a public Jabber server and wait for instructions trickling in as instant messages from its Internet buddies.
Of course, one way to perform tasks on a local network from the Internet is to poke a hole through your firewall and connect to a local web server. Services like dyndns. org allow quasi-static access to the dynamic IP addresses that Internet providers assign. An agent or "bot" (probably short for "Robot") makes life simpler: a messaging client on the inside of the firewall can attach to the public Jabber messaging network and accept commands in the form of text messages. The client I will describe in this article will only accept commands from clients on its buddy list, and it only supports four actions: load checking for the bot computer, querying the public router address (command: ip), and switching the lights on and off at my apartment in San Francisco (lamp on|off).

For travelers, Sandy's aggravation spans globe
Superstorm Sandy grounded more than 15,000 flights across the Northeast and the globe, and it could be days before some passengers can get where they're going.
Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks remained open throughout the storm, but according to the airport's communications director John Wallace there was "no commercial activity here" from about noon Monday through late morning on Tuesday.

Columbines are not only hardy to most parts of Colorado – they are readily available at local garden centers. Also known as "Granny's Bonnet," the flower's main bloom period is May-July. Deadheading encourages reblooming. The flowers are up to three inches across, with nectar-bearing spurs, five petals, five sepals, and one or two colors. They attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. There are various flower forms available in colors that range from pure white to almost black, on plants sized anywhere from eight diminutive inches to a grand four feet tall. Lacy, light-green to blue-green foliage and a soft fern-like texture gives the mounding plants a fresh woodland glen quality.
Columbines can grow in full sun, but do best in part shade, needing moist, well-drained soil, moderately fertile, that's cooled by mulch. Water regularly until established; they are not xeric, but rather must be watered during drought, and fed with scattered granular organic fertilizer in spring. Use in borders, mass plantings, wildflower meadows, woodland gardens, and as a cut flower.
Unfortunately, they are short-lived perennials, and may also go dormant in summer heat, so be prepared to replace cultivars every three to four years as they lose vigor, or allow reseeding. Unless you have planted only one species, be prepared for the seedlings to bloom in unexpected colors. Plants are available in pots sizes ranging from 2.5 to six inches in diameter, or, directly sow seed in the fall for spring germination.
Disease and insect problems include powdery mildew and leaf miners that require the removal and destruction of infected foliage (do not compost). Wash or pick off sawfly larvae and aphids or find an organic pesticide at your local garden center. Check the soil or watering habits; the roots must be kept healthy.

Mermet Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area Hunter Fact Sheet
2013 - 2014 Season
NAME: Mermet Lake Fish & Wildlife Area
LOCATION: West of Mermet on Route 45, between Vienna & Metropolis, in Massac County
Total Acres: 2625 Huntable Acres: 2000 Water Acres: 690 Timber Acres: 1250 Flooded for Waterfowl Hunting: 900
The topography is low and flat with a drainage canal bisecting the area. A series of levees allows for manipulation of water levels to provide both food and water for waterfowl. A large reservoir (450 acres) is used for water storage and as a fishing area during the summer. The water is then released by gravity to flood timber and cropland for waterfowl hunting. Deep wells and pumps also aid in maintaining water levels.
Waterfowl Deer Dove Squirrel Quail Rabbit Turkey
This area is managed primarily for waterfowl and is an excellent concentration point. Pin oak and willow oak provide high quality duck food along with planted crops.
