poured dark brown in color with slight ruby highlights, no head whatsoever that left no lacing sticking to the glass.a combination of grains and brown sugar were noticeable upfront in the nose alongside hidden coffee, mild sugar and traces of vanilla. The brown sugar character is just as potent on the palate with oatmeal grain flavor and a touch of coffee. The brew was light to medium in body with a very low amount of carbonation which had a sweet malty finish.

A: Dark brown, opaque, 2 fingers width of light tan head, pretty good retention, but leaves effectively no lacing.
S: Dark roasted malts, heavy cream, char, chocolate malt.
T: Follows the nose with cream and roasted malt. A good amount of bakers chocolate, some herbaceous notes, and mild bitterness. Tasty.
M/D: Medium body, carbonation on the heavy side but appropriate, drinkability is good.
O: Not my favorite style, but quite an enjoyable beer. Certainly worth a try.

A: Poured from the can into a pint glass. Body is dark brown with a half-finger light-brown head that settles very quickly.
S: Modestly sweet malt dominates - toffee, caramel malt and a touch of brown sugar.
T: Follows the nose - sweet caramel malt, touch of cinnamon and toffee. Some fruity sweetness.
M: Light in heft, thinnish in feel. Carbonation is fairly active and fizzy.
O: Good. Doesn't blow me away - a bit too thin in feel.

Poured from a can, this is a great brown ale with lingering notes of coffee, malts and chocolate. Easily enjoyable in any setting where caramelized malts that are roundeed out with hints of tobacco and leather are desired. This is a fantastic session beer.

The beer comes in a dark brown color, almost like a black coffee. There is a light mocha brown head.
The aroma has toasted malt, some nuttiness, a caramel sweetness. Almost a fruity note of dried apple peel.
The flavor follows with the toasted flavors in the front. That apple note coming through again. Hazelnuts. A slight toffee and caramel sweetness. The finish is of watered down coffee slightly. The beer is so robust that it leans almost towards roasted flavors.
Canned on 10/23/13. 3 months old. Should've held up. Not sure if there are much more hops.
Wonderfully sessionable. Could use a bit more sweetness and malt backbone.

Semi-clear brown beer with a big tan head makes for a nice appearance. Head retention and lace are good.
Aromas are what you'd expect with a brown ale -- caramel malt notes with some roasted grain smell as well. Nice and clean.
The taste isn't mind-blowing, but it really shouldn't be. First is a malty sweetness, countered by some earthy hops and toasted malts. Some nuttiness as well. Great taste in a simple vehicle.
Mouthfeel is creamy, with a semi-sweet finish followed by a light bitterness of roasted malt.
Overall a real gem for a style that doesn't get much respect. Probably one of the best browns I've ever had!

Pretty good British brown, although I do seem to pick up a bit of tartness that doesn't belong. Poured at a good temperature with a modest, lite brown, foamy, thick head that soon all but disappears and no lace. Color is an almost clear amber brown with some bubble trails. Aroma is a very fragrant malt, nutmeats, cocoa, toffee, bit of roast. Flavor's like nose and very we'll balanced. The off tartness vanishes with a little time. Body/carbonation are about perfect. Finish is like flavor, has a few medicinal qualities that linger, and is overall very drinkable.

A-Brown with a small head that was not there long and left no real lace
S-oatmeal and caramel with a background of toffee
T-caramel malts upfront with a toffee flavor that gives you hints of chocolate that fades to a roasted chocolate nut finish
M-light to medium body and low carbonation
O- Was not too sweet yet not bitter. Was a great balance of caramel, chocolate, and nut finish

12 oz can. Pours brown with creamy, long lasting, beige head. Aroma is of toasted malt, bread crust, coffee and piney hops. Body is medium, creamy and smooth. Toasted malt, piney hops, coffee, cacao, dark chocolate, and dark fruit fill the mouth. Finish is long, malty. Delicious brew.

Very nice rich brown coloring yielded a loosely knit head that had built well but deleted away.
The aroma holds some maple syrup, Graham cracker, roasted barley with a finish of floral hops. The aroma has a good strong character.
The flavor holds more barley, light toast, even lighter chocolate and some bready malt. The flavor was a tinge weak with a wateriness that pushed into the feel. The moderate carbonation adds a smooth feel but the wateriness detracts a bit.

Cigar City Maduro has a thin-to-medium cream colored head, a dark brown appearance, which is pretty hazy, and thin lacing left behind. The aroma is initially nonexistent, but as the beer warms, one will detect a rich, somewhat sour, pleasantly roasted barley malt and bread crust. Taste is of sweet, deeply roasted malt, a touch of bitterness, sweetness, and toffee. Mouthfeel is watery and a bit slick, and Cigar City Maduro finishes semi-dry, mellow, and highly drinkable.

I am a major fan of Cigar City's Jai Alai IPA (terrific IPA!), and decided to try their Maduro Brown Ale (can).
Fluffy head which diminishes relatively quickly and leaves little in the way of lacing behind, color is dark brown with hints of amber. Nose is mild, consistent with toasted brown bread and mild coffee. Palate feel is smooth, with low carbonation. Taste is mild and agreeable, with flavors of mildly sweet roasted malt, gentle hints of coffee and molasses. An agreeable malt-centric brown ale, with a pleasantly smooth mouth feel (due to the additional of oatmeal).

My mother-in-law was kind enough to bring me a 12oz can of this fine ale all the way out to San Diego from Palm Beach Gardens. Poured into a traditional pint glass.
Pours deep brown with amber hues along the outside of the glass when held up to a light source - the head was a bit of a let down with very little retention and no lacing to speak of. Haha - wow! As soon as I smelled this one, I totally got the artwork on the can - tons of tobacco and cigar box on the nose - truly amazing actually. Dates and figs are also present in the nose, a bit of smokiness, sweet and earthy. Flavor is similar to the nose, with a big mouthful of dark chocolate, a hint of espresso, tobacco leaves, very earthy and enjoyable. No hops in the mix what so ever. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium-bodied, not complaining, but I wouldn't be bummed if they beefed up the mouthfeel a bit. Carbonation is light and perfect for the style. Overall, I was totally blown away by this one - not expecting much (especially after the underwhelming appearance) and it was one of the better brown ales i've ever had. So earthy and sweet, just like a fine cigar.

Pours a glowing dark brown with purplish-red highlights. Very thin head that quickly fades to an extremely thin line. No lacing.
Dark fruity (especially grapes) smell with strong notes of coffee.
Sweet notes of coffee and grapes; milk, toffee, and smooth dark chocolate. Tons of strong, dry toast and dark malts. Any bitterness is from the chocolate and slightly burnt coffee taste.
Mouthfeel is very light, much lighter than the flavor profile would have suggested. Goes down very, very easily. Very little sting, but the beer doesn't feel the slightest bit flat.
Is this a dark brown ale, or a light porter? I honestly don't have enough experience with the style to say. I have enough experience with Maduro-wrapped cigars to say that this beer doesn't particularly remind me of one; however, I imagine it would pair quite well with a good, dark cigar (or dessert and/or dinner, for that matter).

12oz can in a standard pint glass.
A- A 1-finger tan cap on a brown pour, red highlights. The fast fading head went to nothing and left no lacing. Fizzy.
S- Toffee, sweet caramel, strong dark coffee, some warm booziness. Chocolate.
T- All the aromas listed above shine in flavor. Quite good.
M- The feel is minimal, very thin. Very fizzy. A bit of a creamy finish.
O- Underwhelming to me. It tasted good, but the flavors alone are not enough to carry this brew.

after all the hype on this one, I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. it seems flat, and not as distinct as it was in my head. it had a dark brown color with a buried rusty glow and an inch of off white head that disappears instantly and does not come back. sitting flat in my glass after just a minute, the nose is probably the best feature. its dry, caramel forward English malt and a lathery chocolate body with burnt sugar and slight smoke notes. the flavor hits on all of these, but they just don't come together into a cohesive experience for me. im not getting the nutty, tobacco, or coffee notes everyone else seems to find in this, I just get chocolate malt and an earthy soil element. I like it, don't get me wrong, but this didn't blow my doors off. maybe ill have to try it a little closer to the source, not sure how well this traveled to Colorado... not quite enough carbonation, a little thin on the body, and not as drinkable or unique as i imagined. maybe a victim of my own expectations on this one.

Nice! Very smooth. Very understated and consistent to the point it could be overlooked for cigar city's other outstanding brews. Dark mahogany with basically little to no head and average smell but the flavor is amazing. Lower abv as well so while not quite a session could have a few and none the wiser. Thinner mouthfeel as well makes this a good any season type offering. Well done!

12oz can into a FW Tulip. 8/29/13 bottling date
Pours a dark brown color with a reddish hue when held up to the light, with a nice 1'' head. Smell is of roasted malt and a tad of toffee. The taste is very hardy and enjoyable. Great coffee, chocolate, caramel and malty notes. A real treat to drink. Full bodied even at 5.5% ABV, so i can see this being quite filling if you drink a lot of them in a row.
Overall excellent brown ale that I could drink all day!

Couldn't ask for much more out of a standard distribution brown ale. It is not a special release or a seasonal or anything else hyped up but it is consistently delicious and my go to beer around the house. Every sip has a caramel-chocolate sweetness to it that isn't overpoweringly sweet. I don't feel like I'm drinking a dessert. The smell may be my favorite part. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but I love that first smell before I taste it.
Thanks and Cheers

A- pours a dark and murky chestnut brown with a big two-finger light tan head that seems to keep growing after the pour. I think this is the first beer I've reviewed that the head got bigger as it set, eventually leaves some lace behind
S- sweet grainy and lightly roasty malt, a touch of chocolate, metallic with a woodsy/nutty kick on the end
T- sweet and malty with just a hint of semi-sweet chocolate thrown in mid-palate, there's some earthy/herbal notes along with some light fruity esters. The finish is dry with just a bit of hop bitterness
M- medium body and carbonation with a foamy and creamy mouthfeel, smooth and dry finish making it very drinkable
O- a simple yet solid brown ale. Its pretty straight forward but very approachable, would pair well with certain foods

Poured from 12 oz can into a tapered pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a chocolate brown with two fingers of whitish head that fade quickly, leaving nice lacing on the glass.
Smell: Coffee up front, with some chocolate and toffee as well. A roasty smoky character as well, a lot more going on than a standard brown ale.
Taste: Espresso first, and bitter chocolate follows with hints of roasted barley and a bit of an earthy hop component. Hints of toffee and sweetness, very good taste to it.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with decent carbonation, and a smooth finish. Not too heavy but nothing you're going to pound down too quickly.
Overall: I thought this was a delicious brew from Cigar City, and definitely one to try. I'm not a huge brown ale fan but this was more reminiscent of a porter or an oatmeal stout given its nature.

chriss angel cirk du sloey
Criss Angel: BeLIEve. Not My Review, But Some Other Ones. My Review's Pending.
Last night I saw Criss Angel's show BELIEVE at the LUXOR.
A lot of magicians don't like Angel, but the fact is, the guy has performed more magic on TV than anybody else in history, and he's gotten to do that because TONS of non-magicians like him. And I'm a fan of anybody who brings interest to the field of magic. It's a dying art and we need more magicians like Angel, who bring it to different types of people.
As for Angel's stage show, which opened a week ago…reviews haven't been good. Actually, they've been awful.
There are three types of awful theatre reviews. First of all, there's the classic "Here's Why This Show Sucks Review" Example: Joe Brown's Las Vegas Sun review:
"Cirque throws everything in its considerable arsenal of stage genius at Angel — the expected array of lush, loud music, expert dancers and aerialists, lavish settings and boundary-breaking special effects, all intended to amaze. The single most amazing thing about "Believe" is that it's still so boring. For a reported $100 million, Cirque has bought itself its first bona fide bomb….A charmless mook, Angel is a rudimentary stage performer—he's barely believable playing himself."
Next, there's the There's Nothing To Even Review Here, So I'm Going To Review On My Own Cleverness Review. Example: Reed Johnson of the Los Angeles Times wrote this:
"Believe that it's unbelievable. Unbelievably bad. In Las Vegas, his mash-up with Cirque du Soleil is a magic trick gone terribly wrong. If Criss Angel were blindfolded, straitjacketed, run over by a steamroller, locked in a steel box and dumped from a helicopter into the Pacific Ocean, he still might be easier to salvage from disaster than "Criss Angel: Believe," the gloomy, gothic muddle of a show that officially lurched into being on Halloween night like some patched-together Frankenstein's monster."
Lastly there's the I've Been A Professional Theatre Critic For Two Decades And You Seriously Expect Me To Waste My Time On This? You Do Well, Seeing As Though I've Got A Stoner Teenage Boy To Put Through College And I'm Contractually Obligated To Review This Abortion Of A Production, I'm Going To Do So The Way A My Son Would Because That's What The Show Deserves Review. Example: In the Las Vegas Review Journal, Doug Elfman wrote this:
"Wooooooooow. Criss Angel's new Cirque du Soleil show is terrrrrrible. I had heard firsthand from some people who had seen "Believe" that it was abysmal and maybe unfixable, creatively. So my expectations were rock-bottom low (although open-minded), when I saw it Friday on opening night. And yet, it was EVEN WORSE than how it was described to me…Obviously, "Believe" was not made to be bad on purpose, and that makes things even worse, since they are TRYING to make a great show."
I don't think any of these reviews (or any other review I read) truly captured the show. I'm beginning to write my own review today and you'll find it in my upcoming book…in like two years….but until then, let me ask, why do you think some people either LOVE or HATE Angel so much. Do you guys even watch his show/know who he is?

Washington, D.C. - Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks at the U.S. High Speed Rail Association Conference this morning. Leader Pelosi highlighted the importance of high-speed rail in job creation and investing in our communities. Below are the Leader's remarks:
"Thank you. Thank you, Thomas, for your generous introduction and your great leadership for high-speed rail in America.
"Good morning, everyone. Thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you this morning. It's a special honor for me to be here with my colleague, Congressman Jim Costa, who, relentlessly, morning, noon and night--in fact, I think he never sleeps--on the subject of high-speed rail in California, which is now equated with high-speed rail in America. He has been relentless, persistent, smart, wholly-focused in his championing this issue in California and in the Congress. I'm really honored to be here with Congressman Jim Costa.
"Thomas, thank you for your leadership, as well as Andy Kunz, President of the High Speed Rail Association. I know that--I'm sorry Rod Diridon isn't here. I've been working with him for decades on transportation issues, and I know that his leadership is important to this issue. I thank Laura Richardson, my colleague Lacy Clay. You're talking about high-speed rail in the middle of America, and you know about high-speed rail in California. You know more about high-speed rail and what it means to us.
"First of all, when Thomas stated [in] his remarks, he said this is historic, or history; he used a word to that affect. And it is historic for a lot of reasons. The most important thing that we will do, it goes right to the roots of our country. When Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States, he tasked his Secretary of the Treasury Gallatin to do an infrastructure project for our country. We expanded with the Louisiana Purchase. Then the Lewis and Clarke expedition… going to see what our country was about and how far we went. And then it followed that if we were going to connect people, promote commerce, grow our economy and our country, that we would have to have an infrastructure--internal improvements, they were called at the time, in order for us to build the Erie Canal and things like that that followed. And so that was part of the beginning of America. And that's our tradition, and that's what we have to continue now. For us not to do that would be as if Thomas Jefferson had said: 'never mind. We won't build the roads, construct the canals, do the things that are necessary, again, to promote commerce, connect people and unify our country.'
"Unifying our country is important for commerce. Moving by high-speed rail is important for all the reasons that fuel jobs, economic recovery, mobility, moving the people, saving energy, security, climate, clean air, the health of our children is what this is about.
"A couple years ago I had a visit to China, and I told them I just want to focus largely on energy and transportation issues and the rest, and climate. And so, the first person that took me to Shanghai for a trip from the airport…I did pour a cup of tea, not the whole saucer. That was a short [trip]. Then I said: 'I want to go see the electric cars they have made in the city called Tanjin.' I had no idea where it was. So it was about three hours by car from Beijing. I told Jim about this in the tunnels. And we got--we didn't go by car, we went by high-speed rail. At the end of the trip, the pilot, as they call them, turned around and said: 'Madam Speaker,' I was Speaker at the time, 'twenty-nine and a half minutes, Beijing to Tanjin.' And I said: 'a three hour ride. I couldn't have gone through San Francisco, or Fresno, or any of our districts in half an hour.' Think of how transformative that is to people. They can commute. They can do business. You can live in Tanjin, and go to work in Beijing, or the reverse.
"So it's just--so when I got there to the train station, I was admiring the big infrastructure that was there. And they said to me: 'we plan to build at least 50 of these in the next three years.' Fifty. And that conquers the problem of the people going in and out. I mean, I say that because our competitors are out there doing these things. They know the value of time. And this is about time. It's about the time that is saved, and it's about time for us to do the job and get it done.
"So, again, it's about our competitiveness, our energy independence, decreasing our dependence on foreign oil, cleaning our air and the rest of that, and giving people cheaper options to do. Not to mention what it does to the property value and the commerce along the way, and the jobs that are created immediately. And that's part of Congress's National Jobs Day, we should incur. And to do that, a very important part of that is the ABCs: American-made--we want to be not protectionist, but self-reliant. We call it 'Make It In America.' As our Whip, Mr. Hoyer, says: 'when we 'Make It In America,' American families can 'Make It In America.' Those jobs are not more made in America then when we're building America's infrastructure. And that's B--American-made, Building America. And C, the community involvement and leadership in all of that, which is so essential. We're told that Lacy Clay communicated with the people over in the Midwest, and Jim has been a leader in getting that in California.
"So we have our challenge. Not to be political, but the Democratic Congress, we've, when we were in the majority, [with] President Obama and Secretary LaHood [made] high-speed rail a key priority. We've dedicated more than $10 billion since 2009, to create jobs and bolster our recovery in terms of high-speed rail. That's why California, I'm proud that they are leading the way, securing the largest portion of the federal funding, turning long journeys across our state into commutes. Connecting communities means job growth, higher land values for local economies, economic development--you know all the things it does--sustainable neighborhoods. It strengthens those neighborhoods and, in doing so, it strengthens our country.
"So moving forward, as we face calls for scaling back our ambitions, we must fight this effort to stop high-speed rail. I am a student of behavior and motivation. I can't possibly understand what the argument could be that we should not make progress, that we should not go forward. I mean, would they have said: 'don't build the road, the Cumberland Road.' If we had said to President Eisenhower: 'don't build an interstate highway system,' which was a national security issue to unify America for our national security. Of course, it created jobs on the spot, right away, and promoted commerce. You know all what it did and how essential it was to unifying America. If we had said to him: 'we can't afford it,' which we couldn't at the time. We couldn't because it was a down time in our economy. That's not an excuse not to do something. In fact, it's a reason to make the investment because it's money well spent.
"So this is a new phenomenon. Transportation's always been bipartisan in our efforts, in our legislation, as we go through. This has always had bipartisan support until now. So it's really important that you're here now, and we hear about the progress you've made in your visits here. But understand how important your coming here [is]. We can maneuver all we want in the Congress, but the outside mobilization, people coming and talking from their experience, and their knowledge of what is at stake, and what we lose if we don't go forward, is essential to any good, important, big thing, having you come. This is literally big.
"So we must do what we can to protect the investment so far as we will. Let's pass a transportation bill that puts a 21st century transit system for the American people. So now a transportation bill that's bandied about is one that Secretary LaHood, a Republican, who has served a mighty leader, Bob Michael, this is a strong Republican. And then when, a very distinguished leader, Michael, left Congress, Ray LaHood took that seat. And now he's [in] the Administration, a Republican who knows these people well, he's worked with them, respects them as friends, has said this was 'the most partisan transportation endeavor. It is bad for jobs, and it is bad for safety.' I won't get into how bad it is; you've probably heard.
"Anyway, our whole approach to why we're in government and public service is about the American dream, the most enduring theme in our country in any decade you can name. And reigniting that American dream is about building ladders of opportunity for people who work hard, play by the rules and take responsibility. And it's got to be centered around small business and entrepreneurship, and 'Make It In America' and the rest of that that we work to do. It's just too bad to spend our energy on convincing people that the future is inevitable, it is upon us, and we have to make the right choices as we go forward. So thank you for what you do, U.S. High Speed Rail Association, for helping educate the Congress on what the possibilities are, and the risk if we do not go forward. And let us have the resolve of Jim Costa that is 'this is going to happen.' It's going to happen in California, and as it does, as we all know, it will be a model for the country. It will be a moment of chauvinism of our wonderful, beautiful Golden State, leading the way. And it will do just what we have here. It will create jobs, boost our economic recovery, increase mobility for people to work, increase the quality of their lives. Because, as I said: it's about time, the time they don't have to spend on the road, the time where they can be about the family's pleasures and their business obligations. And, again, it's about time to get this done.
"So thank you for letting me spend some time with you this morning. Good luck in what you are doing, all your efforts and your work on high-speed rail. Thank you."

Driver Education is an important resource for students in Tennessee's schools.
For adolescents and young adults ages 10 to 24, both nationally and in Tennessee, over three-quarters of unintentional injury deaths are motor vehicle-related. On the basis of miles driven, teenagers in this age group are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as are all drivers. Implementing strategies during adolescence to prevent motor vehicle crashes is critical to adult health and well being because young adults experience many of the same behavioral issues as adolescents.
Teen driving is relatively deadly due to a combination of inexperience, overconfidence, risk-taking behavior and greater risk exposure.

Installing Trail Master's New 5-Inch Flex-Joint Kit
Many owners of the four-door Jeep JK Unlimited are discovering that the vehicle is capable of more than just picking up groceries and taking the kids to school. The Unlimited has proven itself as a true trail-ready vehicle and is just as at home on a rocky ledge as it is in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
When JK owners are ready to go to the next level, the vehicle can also become a serious rockcrawler with some modifications to the suspension. Most short-arm kits for this vehicle offer improved ride height and travel, but the JK's weak points are its front and rear driveshafts, as well as its longer wheelbase that adds additional leverage and stress to the control-arm joints. For this reason, many aftermarket suspension kits limit the JK's lift height to 3 inches. When we saw that Trail Master designed a 5-inch lift kit for the JK, it caught our attention.
Trail Master's 5-inch Flex-Joint suspension solves all of the problems associated with adding a greater amount of ride height to the Jeep JK. Aside from allowing the use of 37-inch-tall tires for maximum ground clearance and traction, the suspension system gives the JK much better trail performance by improving articulation and suspension travel.
Trail Master uses a unique rod end in the company's control arms called a Flex-Joint. Flex-Joints replace the standard urethane bushings that connect the control arms to the frame where added stress typically damages the bushings over time. According to Trail Master, the Flex-Joint material is as hard as steel yet forgiving enough to allow full articulation without excessive wear.
Five inches of ride height also adds some serious pinion angles to the factory driveline. In order to avoid premature wear of the Jeep's dual driveshafts, Trail Master decided to replace them by including heavy-duty units with its system. If you've already replaced your JK's driveshafts with sturdier units, the kit is also available without them.

BEIJING -- James Cameron's Cameron Pace Group has set up a joint venture in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin to develop 3D film equipment and provide training for making movies, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Financial details were not revealed, and it's understood that the j.v. will not be involved immediately in producing films.
On Tuesday, DreamWorks Animation said the next episode in the "Kung Fu Panda" franchise would be co-produced in China with local partners.
The j.v. deal was signed by Cameron and his business partner Vince Pace, along with Tianjin Hitech Holding Group topper Gong Jing and Tianjin North Film Group chairman Wang Dafang.
Cameron said the success of his films "Avatar" and "Titanic" in China demonstrated the local audience's love of 3D, and that is why they chose to share their 3D technology with the country.
The 3D re-release of "Titanic" grossed $154 million in China this year, its most successful market in the world, and Cameron has been bullish about the country for a while.
He spoke very positively about the possibilities of developing 3D in China during the Beijing Film Festival in April, when he said he was exploring production facilities with a view to perhaps making "Avatar" sequels in the city.
Tianjin aims to establish itself as a film hub. A coastal city around 30 minutes from Beijing by high-speed train, Tianjin has been growing in recent years by aggressively attracting high-tech industries to set up there.
Chinese entrepreneur Bruno Wu's Harvest Seven Stars Entertainment said in April it was linking up with Tianjin city government to build Chinawood, a $1.27 billion film and media hub over 8.6 million square feet.
Among Chinawood's functions will be a co-production film financing platform, a co-production service center with post facilities, a facility for 3D conversion and a distribution and marketing center.
And China's leading private shingle Bona said it was planning to invest in a new 3D film technology center in Tianjin with Hong Kong helmer Tsui Hark.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I think it is funny how the position he has drafted the most is still arguably our biggest need. Maybe we should think to draft one a bit earlier than in the past haha..
someones dropping the ball on LBs in the scouting department.....Every year we hear how supposedly none of them fit our system,or there wasn't anyone their that they feel would make a difference....Yet every year theres LBs that go on to produce,while we draft guys like dillard,goff,sintim,etc...
Latest Mock
1. Anthony Barr, OLB - UCLA
2. Jace Amaro, TE - Texas Tech
3. DaQuan Jones, DT - Penn St
4. Brandon Coleman, WR - Rutgers
5. Anthony Steen, OG - Alabama
5. James Wilder, RB - Florida St
6. Aaron Lynch, DE - S. Florida
Jerry loves him some ACC..... This means next year the Giants will draft Logan Thomas.
But the bigger truth is, in the first three rounds, the giants have not passed up a good LB to draft a bum. They have continually picked guys who were very good over LBs.
Do you fault them for taking JPP over Weatherspoon? Or Linval over Washington?
I personally cant.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Security System Questions
1998 jeep grand cherokee laredo . problem the horn goes off for no reason. I suspect something with alarm . Possibly detects door opening . Any easy way to disable alarm?
ssgkh Posts: 2I bought a 99 Grand Cherokee about 2 months ago and I can't just get out of it and press the lock button on the key and walk away. After about a minute and a half the horn starts blowing and the lights starts flashing. What I've learned to do is upon exiting the vehicle I press the lock button twice and then put the key in the door and unlock the vehicle and then lock it. To recap, I insert the key, turn it to the left and then back right (which locks the doors) and that's it. Then I can walk away. I would really like to know why this alarm system behaves like that and solve this problem. Can someone help me??
lhelfer Posts: 6I have a very quirky 93 Grand Cherokee. Have recently replaced the alternator in December 08 and the battery in August 08 but have always had problem with security alarm going off intermittently for no reason. The problem I now have is that the alarm apparently is constantly engaged and has run down my battery. When I hook up the battery charger to attempt to recharge the battery, the alarm is goes off and runs it back down. I got out the jumper cables to try to jump start it, but the alarm goes off each time which won't let you start it. I have an extra set of keys so I used the spare set to turn off the alarm while someone else started it simultaneously, which is the only way I could start the vehicle but as soon as you turn it off, the alarm immediatly comes back on until the battery is dead. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there a way to disengage the alarm completely?
wildlifer Posts: 1Here are instructions, based on advice I found on other websites:
To disable the alarm you need to ground a wire that is running throught the drviers door jam wire harness. It is a violet with a yellow tracer wire. It needs to be put to ground.
On the drivers side in the foot well area just above the hood release mechanism you should see the wire harness that is coming from the drivers door.
In that group of wires, locate the violet with a yellow tracer wire. Do not cut the wire. Instead, strip the violet/yellow plastic off to expose the bare wire.
Get a section of new, similar gauged wire (18 guage works), and strip away the plastic on both ends to expose the wiring. Take one end of this new wire and wrap it around the exposed section of the violet/yellow wire.
Take the other end of the new wire and ground it to the body of the jeep. This will ground the system and should permantly disable the alarm system.
Here is a link that shows a diagram of what I have described:
Hope this helps!
rench4dirt Posts: 1I did this to a grand cherokee that the alarm would go off every time it was tried to be started, it took care of the alarm,however it still will only run about 30-45 seconds after starting, could this be part of the security shutting it down or another ,different problem? I am leaning toward a different prob. because if you keep spraying start fluid in it will continue to run. thanks in advance
I have a 99 Grand cherokee that was working flawlessly until thes last weekend. My daughter was watching a movie inside while we were setting up for a camping trip. after about 20 minutes of getting in and out we decided to see if it would start. We did this about 2-3 times until we were finished. We went to start the vehicle the next morning and all it will do is turn over, no start though. There is a new icon in the dash now. once all the icons disapear the one that comes back on is the one of the key with a circle and line through it. I was told this is the anti-theft icon and that I was in a "hard theft mode" I have no idea how to fix it. I tried disconnecting the battery for 24 hours hoping to drain the system, I was told to unlock the vehicle manually on the rear and passenger door to reset, But there is only one manual door lock and that is on the driver door. It has no power to the fuel pump, but the fule pump works fine. I dropped the tank and checked as I thought the pump had gone bad. There is power to all fuses and relays. It just turns over and does nothing. I cannot believe that it is the key because it should at least start for 2 seconds then turn off. At least that is what it did a couple of months ago when I had a key made just to unlock the doors. I tried it in the ignition and it started then shut down after 2 seconds. I really need this car to work as it is my only means of transportation at this point and connot afford a dealer fix. Any info would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks.
The only other key I have is a spare I had made at Home Depot just to get me in the vehicle when we lock our keys inside. I know this will not start the vehicle as I have tried and it is not coded to the vehicle. But back in the day when I had the key made, I did try to start the vehicle and it would in fact start it then it would shut off after 2 seconds. The original key that I still have for the vehicle won't even start it for the 2 seconds. It will only turn over, nothing else. I will go home and try the "spare key" but I am petty sure it will do the same. Am I right in assuming the icon that comes on the dash with the picture of the key with the circle around it and a line through it is the anti-theft light. And if it is still on when the original key is in the ignition where does that leave me??
Also, While I was looking all over for a short somewhere I did notice there is a small hinged plastic covered bracket inside the driver door jamb that slides through a small box mounted inside the driver door. That small hinged bracket has all/most of the plastic broken off of the bracket leaving the exposed metal. What is this for. It does not have enough support for the door itself and I did not see any wires coming from the box in which it slides through. Any thoughts???
could be the door stop that has all the coating worn off its bout half way between the upper hinge and the wire protector
yes if the light with the key is on the car is in protect mode some will not start at all once code is set (sorry to say that i dont know how to turn it off )
alby3 Posts: 46my light comes on while driving, stays solid, not blinking. she still runs but has died on me a few times.... but always starts right back up. did you ever get it fixed?? it points to the SKIM (SECURITY KEY IMMOBILIZATION MODULE) as having a fault..?? but it only happens when the temperature is under 45 degrees. so i am thinking a bad connection somewhere....
billy65 Posts: 2wow I just noticed that this post is a year old...My 2001 JGC is sitting in a parking lot wher I had to leave it ..my wife and I camr out of the resturant with the key that has no transmitter so we as usually jump in and start it while the horn is honking and it stops when the engine starts this time the horn kept right on going so I pulled the batterie ( neg cable) off and found the horn fuse and removed it. Ok so went to start it up again and it began the 2 second shutdown routine....I discovered that that system has its own fuse-- 10 amp in the 12 position under dash . I pulled it out and as a result engine would only turn over ...so maybe that is your problem the fuse is blown.. I had a friend drive me home to get the other set of keys with the remote so I was able to reset alarm but not the shut off . it wont stay runing.
tonyv51 Posts: 2I just bought a 2012 Jeep Compass 4x2 CVT here in Vegas, the #2 city in the USA for car thefts; so obviously I'm a bit paranoid about it. Got a great end of October discount, $20K out the door, even my color choice. Dealer claims he took a $2K loss just to make factory sales incentives. Maybe, but I could not get this price just a week ago when I was shopping around.
Anyway, local comprehensive insurance rates are sky high so I'm looking to cut costs. After a lot of internet research, I've read about the RAVELCO engine immobilier which claims to have a perfect record over 30 years of NEVER allowing a car to be stolen by driving it away! No protection against towing, obviously.
Does anyone with this Ravelco system care to offer any feedback about it? I also plan to use a deadbolt hood lock and heavy duty Unelko brake pedal jack lock to layer my security.
Typical car alarms are ignored. Lojack and GPS tracking don't prevent theft, just track down what may be a stripped or destroyed car, and very expensive. The Jeep comes with a coded ignition key that I've read can be bypassed by thieves using laptop computers and car remote decoders.
Does anyone have a better solution, short of a 24-hour armed guard, to secure their car?

Poetic Wax
First, check out how far into the horn she has to sing. Granted, she doesn't have a particularly loud voice, so she probably has to put her head farther in than, say, a gospel singer who has more projection.
Then, listen to how the resonance of the metal horn insinuates itself into the timbre of her voice. Basically, they're recording her singing into a resonant can.
Finally, check out the second half of the second video where they play the cylinder itself. We get to hear her song with all the scratchy, hissy, warbling artifacts one would expect from the wax format.
But what we're really treated to is an A/B test between a digital recording of Vega singing (albeit, one that was synchronized to video and data compressed when it was posted online) and the wax cylinder playback (similarly digitally recorded and compressed). Notice the frequency bandwidth reproduced from the cylinder, as well as signal versus noise. Will future generations similarly listen back to our data compressed recordings and marvel at how lo-fi the sound was in the early days of web delivery and satellite radio? You're darn right they will.
In the last few decades, a number of artists have recorded to wax and transferred the results to digital for aesthetic reasons, such as They Might Be Giants.
However, one of my favorite artists working in this realm is London-based musician Aleks Kolkowsky, who regularly records musicians to wax cylinder. Have a look and listen to what he's done at Phonographies.org.

Aladdin - A Wish Come True
Aladdin - A Wish Come True
Lily Savage will dust down her theatrical muses and throw on the guise of Widow Twankey for a rare and unique stage appearance in a strictly limited season of Aladdin A Wish Come True at The Theatre at The O2.
From Friday 7 December 2012 until Saturday 5 January 2013 a truly unique and magical theatrical event will be taking place on the Greenwich Peninsula under the canopy of The O2. A purpose built 1900-seat theatre will host what Whatsonstage called "a classy panto" starring the inimitable Lily Savage as one of the greatest dames in pantomime, Widow Twankey.
Lily Savage, who will be performing by kind permission of Mr Paul O'Grady, had this to say: "Lily had such a great time playing Widow Twankey last time in Southampton that I am delighted she gets to have another go and that this will be in her very own, brand new purpose built theatre at The O2 - which will be filled with the magic of Old Peking!!"

However, some fans responded by saying Aldean should apologize to his wife, not them--but Aldean appears to have done that, as well. He told CMT on Monday that he and his family are doing okay.
"Everything's fine," he noted. "It's been a tough deal. But I kind of said what I needed to say to them and, hopefully, they understand that. And the rest of it will be us dealing with it in private and trying to fix it."
Aldean took the opportunity to address his fans again regarding the matter: "The people that are standing by us and supporting us, all I've got to say to them is thanks," he said, adding that the situation has been "really embarrassing" more than anything.
Aldean, 35, has been married to his high-school sweetheart Jessica for 11 years. They have two young daughters together. His fifth album, Night Train, will be released on October 16. Fans are no doubt wondering if the incident will affect his showing at the Country Music Association Awards on November 1--he's up for three major awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year distinction.

On March 21 I flew to Omaha — along with 150 of my classmates — to meet Warren Buffett, MS '51, a man I have admired (some friends would say fanatically idolized) for close to 15 years.
After a tour of the Berkshire Hathaway-owned Nebraska Furniture Mart, we were brought to a room at the Omaha Field Club. Warren Buffett stood at the front — two of his five daily cans of Cherry Coke nearby — and for the next two and a half hours, answered our questions.
The questions covered a wide range of issues, including what he looks for in a business, the current financial situation, recent events at Bear Stearns, ethics, emerging markets, commodities, his relationship with Benjamin Graham and his typical day. His answers were a powerful reminder of his unique ability to distill complex issues down to their bare essence.
When asked about how long the current financial crisis would last, he replied, "I don't know. I have never made money on macro calls." Buffett said that even if he had perfectly predicted macro conditions in 1973–74, he would not have bought See's Candies in 1972 going into a recession and would have missed out on a company that he has referred to as "the prototype of a dream business."
After joking that our graduation was not perfectly timed, Buffett warned that we should not be discouraged from pursuing a career in finance. Finance is only going to become more important as time goes on, he said, and it is a field where one can truly stand out and be recognized.
He advised MBA students to learn as much about accounting as possible, adding that, "accounting is the language of business." He also said that writing and verbal communication are extremely important in the business world and that students should seek out ways to improve these skills every chance they get.
Buffett urged students looking for jobs not to pay too much attention to salary. "Who you work for is extremely important, so choose carefully," he counseled, adding that the most important decision of his own career was going to work for Benjamin Graham.
As MBA students, we are beginning our careers in an age where the image of a corporate executive has been bruised. Spending time with Warren Buffett — an astute businessman, a legendary investor, a rational and disciplined person and a generous philanthropist — afforded us the opportunity to learn much more than just how to pick stocks.
Before the trip, I was certain that no one could ever live up to the sincere, humble and generous image depicted of him in books, shareholder letters and TV interviews. I was wrong. Even that lofty image did not hold a candle to the man I was lucky enough to spend half the day with in Omaha.

Help with Dark Wood Paneling
My husband and I are about to move into a rental home. there is dark wood panelling in the living room and the den. I am trying to think of ideas to really brighten up the place adn bring it into the 21st Century without having to do any permanent work to it. This is a rental property so it has to be reversible. This is the only thing I hate about the home. Please any advice would be much appreciated. Amy from Florida
My answer to you Amy is lighting. If you can't paint or change drapery etc, how about putting some freestanding uplighter lamps into the house. They will reflect light off the ceiling and back down into the room. Try placing table lamps in the corners of the room, this will make the space look larger and try a light colored rug on the floor. Some artwork on the walls with predominately white or cream backgrounds would detract your eye from what the dark timber paneling on the walls. Basically try and create another focal point away from the walls. You can do all of this without changing any of the house, you can take the rug, pictures and lamps with you when you leave. I hope some of these ideas work for you. Lee Brown
Americana Babys Nursery
I had a question from Mary Harrington about decorating her Grandbaby's nursery in an Americana theme.
Hi Lee, I'm decorating my Grandbaby's nursery in Americana theme. The walls are a cream color on top, divided by a white chair rail (to match the baseboards) and a wallpaper border of American stars. I also plan to stamp navy, red or both stars above the window and closet doors. I made a navy blue with cream stars crib dust ruffle and curtain valance. On the bottom of the chair rail I have dragged a navy blue color. I would like advice on what to put on the walls, pictures, shelves etc? The room is about 12′ x 9′ the two short walls have windows on one side and closet doors on the other. Help? From Mary
My reply was:
It sounds like you are having a lovely tome Mary! It often gets difficult when you have put so much time and effort into a job and spent a great deal of time in the space that completing it with the finishing touches can be elusive.
What about getting some simple canvases from a painting supplier or your local art supplier. The ones that are stretched over rails (or use MDF Board and paint it white first). Then paint red and white stripes on them, do three and have them going one vertical two horizontal for example. You could always use the fabric that you have made the valance and crib dust ruffle and select another colorway, perhaps red and cream and stretch that over a simple timber frame and staple the fabric at the back of the frame, then attach a string to hang it from. This adds texture ad helps with the noise absorption when the baby arrives!
Shelves are a necessity as everyone buys you little nick knacks for the baby and they are quite dangerous for them until they get older. Being able to view them and be out of reach is ideal. I think that the red (as you haven't used a lot of that so far) would add another dimension. have you thought about this fantastic idea, simple balsa wood stars (or stuffed fabric stars) hanging from the ceiling, lets face it babies spend most of their early time looking at the ceiling! I hope this has given you some more inspiration, it sounds like a fabulous project, keep up the good work.
