The first-ever Wine Tourism Day in North America!
→ Learn about its national reach
Wine Tourism Day is designed to feature the many wineries offering events through North America, promote the concept of traveling to wine regions on vacation, and highlight the economic impact of wine tourism. Most of all it is about you, a lover of wine and travel, having fun.
Finger Lakes Wine Month continues with Wine Tourism Day on Saturday, May 11, a celebration of charity, wine & food, and wine education. Participating wineries will donate their tasting fees collected on May 11 to one of three regional food banks to be earmarked for use in the counties in which the wineries are located. In addition, participating wineries may offer wine and food pairings and wine education experiences throughout the day. Register to receive email updates on Wine Tourism Day.

ark, rich looking dark brown with a small one inch head of off white that capped the top of the glass very, very nicely before it settled down leaving with it some nice lacing up and down the sides of the glass that seemed to really thicken up and push through as the time went on. Aroma is smoked malts right off the top. Dark, evil, with hints of campfire, peat, dark roasted chocolate and a good bit of almost a licorice touch to it. As I take the first sip a rich and creamy feel overloads the senses. Wonderful and rich, dark and foreboding, it seems that it is just meant to be evil and dark. Loads of roasted and smoked malts just rolling across the tongue. Lightly dry finish leaves just enough room for a small amount of smoky flavor to pop its head in and really give it a nice solid finish. great job

Had to get one of these ever popular little 32oz growlers of Dark Helmet from my main man Wes at Green's. $5.50 fer the fill.
A. Clear and rich brown color, black if you put it in a fat enough goblet. Small head, some tan lace sticks. What little there is produces an oil-slick looking tan contrast on the dark beer. Does have those ruby colored highlights that the BJCP looks for, if you're into that sort of thing.
S. Excellent and full sweet-roast nose, perhaps a little sweeter than the style calls for, but good all the same. Chocolately, clean and a little spicy from the hops and (I discovered later) a 10% rye addition. It works very well, the dominant sweet pumpernickel bread nose and the lesser rustic spice note with a hint of herbal hop.
T. As advertised, but if you judge this against the 'classic' style, it's a bit sweeter and more additive with the hops and rye... I like it. It doesn't deviate from the style to be unrecognizable, nor does it slavishly try to be a classic example - this is new, delicious and works. The short version: an easily drinkable dark semi-sweet roasty and chocolate tasting beer with character to spare.
M / O. Terrific mouthfeel, light and wet with excellent carbonation off the tap - medium-full and complimentary. Finish is long gentle smooth roast and sweet-tasty. Kiss of bitterness at the very end. Dark Helmet is extremely easy to drink.
Why is Dark Helmet good? Schwarzbier is one of those rather obscure styles that never seems to get any attention, so it is a great thing for me that one is being made 2 hours from my house. This is an excellent twist on a classic style and one you should try. I wouldn't change a thing.

Growler fill from GBX in Greenville. Jet black with a nice 2 finger tan head. Spotty lacing. Smell is of coffee and figs. Not a lot to the smell. Taste is more in line with a porter than a schwartz, but that is not a bad thing. Different for the style, but has a touch of dull aftertaste that is distracting. Perhaps it's a growler thing, but I do like the ease of this beer and would consider it a session beer. Notes of coffee and some mild figs with some roasted malts on the end with a hop kick. Feel is more porter like as well, but a good bit of carbonation on this one. Overall- A pretty good effort and one I would hit again. It falls more in line with a porter/stout than a schwartz. Easy to drink and perhaps a bit too much hop on the end.

Growler filled at Grapevine, Fort Mill. Westbrook website lists as a Rye-Schwarzbier.
Near black, not super thick, with a light tan head, maybe a finger. Recedes to a ring.
Aroma, roast malt, dark chocolate, smoke, an earthy lager yeast that I look for in a Schwarz.
Taste, lite smoked porter. Roast/smoked malt, dark chocolate, light coffee and cocoa. Nice light bitter hop and coffee finish lingers.
All the flavor of a heavier smoked porter in a lighter smooth body. Carbonation is just enough. About session abv and it is easy to do just that.
After a quick taste I filled a growler. There are very few beers I'll fill a growler of, mostly because of the quantity. This however, had the quality plus an abv I could drink a large amount of in a shorter time.
Another schwarzbier that I would regularly stock, if regularly available to me.
I grabbed a can of their ipa just to contrast a 2nd style for Westbrook, if it's half as good I'll be satisfied.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Thanks to southern gentleman AtlCarl for continuing to feed the beast, a.k.a. my rye habit. 22 oz. bomber with a suitably geeky sci-fi reference on the label. I digs. Split with my wife, who's less appreciative of sci-fi geekdom. Well, nobody's perfect.
The pour is, dare I say it, schwarz. Dunkel, even. Carbonation is just as it's written up in the specs. Nose brings strong lowered booms of chocolate & roast, with a tertiary rudder of rye. Lager yeast, usually an invasive species of the nostrils, is covered up by the aggressive aromas.
Dark Helmet is just the kind of a beer a mad-haired scientist like Emmet Brown would be drinking. The chocolate & roast in the nose arrive in force, but in tow is the lager yeast mixed in with forest-fire smokiness. Maybe a touch of spice, but the rye element is sorely absent. Drying. The combination is...odd. Half a bomber is going to be plenty.
Been digging most of Westbrook's stuff, but the combination of flavors here just doesn't fit my foot right. Weird & average.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
A: Pours a nearly black color, with a bit of brown/ruby highlights around the edges. A tan head rises to about two fingers, good retention. Plenty of lace is left.
S: Lager like yeast, chocolate malts, light smoke. Toasted malts. A love the malty aroma, finishes with a light earthy hop bitterness.
T: Like the nose, a great malty flavor. Toasted malts, baked bread, grains, a substantial chocolaty flavor with a bit of sweetness. Again, finishes with a light earthy bitterness that brings everything together.
M/D: A medium body and enough carbonation for a good crisp bite. Though ultra smooth, and silky. Really well rounded body. So easy to drink. I wish I could get this all the time.
An excellent Schwarzbier with lots of character. Well done, a lovely beer that I would highly recommend.

Pours almost black with a thick head and long lasting lacing. Nose is of chocolate against a slightly sweet background with a hint of smoke. I could not detect any rye or hops in the nose. Light medium bodied and a smooth mouthfeel. Balanced carbonation typical of a lager. The taste is a fine balance of chocolate against a slightly sweet background with a tick of rye and smoke. An undertone of coffee is also present. Smooth finish of chocolate with a light rye spiciness and smoke that lingers. The lingering finish is where the coffee flavor is most evident. Very impressive.

Pours a deep, warm coffee brown with a thick and rather persistent fine-bubbled tan head. Woody aroma has notes of coffee, semi-sweet chocolate, hay and caramel. Robust flavor has bold coffee, caramel, woody hop, and subtle licorice and horehound notes. Texture is smooth and fairly fizzy. Get your dark helmet on!

22 ounce bottle - $8.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Bottled on: 10/22/13.
Appearance: Pours a near (very near) black body with just under an inch of sandy beige foam.
Smell: Chilled coffee and less-than-sweet chocolate wrapped in a thin layer of clean, worksafe smokiness. Ashen grains. Bruised grapes.
Taste: Roast, baker's chocolate, and a subtle rye quality. Coffee-toned. A little sweet present, but, not overly so. Pinch of ashes (a bit smokey). Faint licorice. Grape-y dark fruitiness. Scant hop character but some light bitterness showing. Semi-dry, roasty finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Smooth, soft texture.
Overall: Being notably fuller in all its regards it is not exactly a classic, traditional schwartz. Still, it's a reasonably nice beer. Can't we just like nice beers?

Bomber, bottled on October 11, 2012, poured into my Samuel Smith pint glass.
This is an extremely drinkable beer, but it tastes and feels more like a heavy porter or a lighter-bodied stout than a black lager.
Pours black with a 1/2-inch, tan head, some ruby highlights. Sweet roasted caramel and chocolate scents, some coffee. The carbonation is light, giving this a smooth, velvety texture, like a milk stout. The rye is noticeable, slightly bitter. More chocolate and coffee when drinking, a bit of pine, and for me just the right amount of sweetness. The head went down to 1/4-inch, some very nice lacing.
I really enjoyed this one.

Thanks to dogdoc for this one! Reviewed from notes. Poured from bomber into a pilsener glass.
A: Very dark brown, nearly opaque, with a nice, finger and a half thick tan head.
S: Dark and roasty, burnt coffee, and maybe a bit of chocolate covered raisins. All with the lager yeast underlying.
T: Any fruit on the nose seems absent in the palate. Roasty, coffee and chocolate are on the tongue, and some drying tobacco flavors with a bit of hop bitterness near the end. The hang is almost bittersweet.
M: Good carbonation sensation. The body seems a little thin; but I think I'm almost expecting the body of a stout with the way it looks and some of the flavor profile. Moderate alcohol presence for this low ABV.
O: Well, not being much of a lager fan - this could be my favorite lager ever! Quite enjoyable. I wish some German restaurants around me would have this one on tap.

22 oz bottle poured into a pint glass at fridge-cellar temperature.
L – Black color with a 1-finger cream-colored head. Decent retention but excellent lacing.
S – Mostly toasted but some roasted malts, chocolate, and a hint of dark fruits like plums and figs. Amidst all this, it still retains that lager yeast aroma.
T – Starts off sweet with chocolate and caramel malts. Toasted malt comes in mid-taste, followed quickly by roasted malt with a bitterness that builds toward the finish. Possibly some earthy and floral hops in here, but that could just be the chocolate-and-coffee-tinged bitter roasted malts. A little bit of smoky spice sneaks its way in toward the finish, as well.
F – Light-to-medium-bodied with good carbonation, a smooth and velvety mouthfeel despite the lightness, and a bitter, spicy, and dry finish. Roasted coffee bitterness lingers nicely.
O – This is a very tasty beer and another good one from Westbrook. This is my first schwarzbier but it fits the mold precisely. It amazes me how a beer can have such roasted malt character but still absolutely taste and feel like a lager. Charleston breweries are killing it right now.

A: Deep dark brown, not quite opaque as you can see through it slightly. Held to the light you can see a yellow orange tinge. Thick brown cappuccino like head.
S: Dark chocolate, toasted malt, espresso coffee, creamy like crème fresh. An almost wine like quality as well
T: Dark toasted malt, espresso notes, and an almost wine or grape like quality. A slight bitter aftertaste lingers. Very true to its form.
M: Medium to thick body, heavy carbonation.
O: Very true to form Schwarzbier. Glad to have got my hands on this at Whole Foods in Columbia, SC while traveling through. Would like to try more by Westbrook.

Big fan of the Spaceballs movie, so had to give this one a try ...
Dark brown pour with a deep rich red tone. Spilled a drop on the white kitchen floor and the red really came through then. Mountainous, frothy head with excellent retention. Might be something up here, but did not take away from the enjoyment of the glass.
Nose is light chocolate, a bit of raisin or fig, and a healthy dose of rye. Well balanced.
Taste is very nice. Again light chocolate balanced against spices and fruit. A bit of roast malt comes in midway, but finishes with chocolate sweets. Rye seems to be more evident up front than in the finish.
Feel is a bit bubbly. Heavier carbonation than I would like.
Overall, well worth a try.

A: Pours a deep brown color with a massive tan head forming, amazing retention. Lacing forms on the side but slides back down into the beer.
S: Lots of chocolate on the aroma, some roasted malt, a little bit of spice and rye, almost like pumpernickel as another reviewer noted. Hint of hops right at the end.
T: Some sweet chocolate mixed with some light spices, a very nice combination of the two, neither overpowers the other. There is a little bit of a hoppy undertone with a bit of pine.
M: Medium bodied, maybe leaning towards the lighter side of medium with moderate retention. Smooth and easy drinking.
O: Quite enjoyable. I don't drink many in the style, but this one is just really easy drinking. The rye gives it a nice hint of spice that combined with the chocolate was tasty.

22oz. bottle poured into a nonic. Thanks for another Bob!
(A)- Pours a near pitch black color. Just a mountainous frothy tan head formed with ridiculous retention. Plenty of lacing. Almost too much foam formed too quickly despite a rather gentle pour.
(S)- A lightly spicy (carraway?) spice and raisin and wood bark with subtle roasted grains.
(T)- Agian, a spicy combo of roasted grains, carraway seed, raisin, and a dry woody; almost peanut(infection?) finish.
(M)- A good carbonation level and a nice balance too despite a subtle peanut funk finish. Infection? Its subtle, but I have experienced this before and it reminds me of an infection and its just annoying enough to bother me.
(D)- Overall, a nice beer. Not positive if an infection is slowly showing its face or not but its so subtle it is not completely taking away full enjoyment from the beer just yet, but still annoying enough to bother me a bit.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Pours a fudge brown color with ruby high list; the tan cap pancakes the liquid, displaying good retention and leaving a few shards of lace behind
Smell: Roasty campfire; black bread with chocolate and licorice tones
Taste: Black bread and chocolate, up front, with a hoppy, rye-spice character developing by mid-palate; after the swallow, the smoky campfire element comes through and though there is a surprising residual sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A really interesting take on the style; enjoyed the hops, the rye, the sweetness and the smoky elements

Big thanks goes out to my boy caSSino for bringing this one to share with me! Served from bottle into a NoDa snifter. Poured a massively dark brown (almost black) with a one and a half finger tan head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, coffee, toffee, caramel, cream, dark chocolate, smoke, and dark fruit. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, oatmeal, dark chocolate, coffee, smoke and subtle caramel. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. The aroma on this one was quite inviting and pleasant. The flavor on this was a little surprising as the smoke comes through a lot more on the followthrough than it does in the aroma. A definite must try for fans of the style or the curious alike.

On tap at Grapevine in Fort Mill. Served in a pint glass.
Beer pours a deep ruby (nearly black) with lots of lighter ruby and orange highlights when held up to the light. About three fingers worth of tan head recedes fairly quickly, leaving behind a moderate amount of lacing.
The aroma is of roasted malts, coffee, bittersweet chocolate, and a slight smokiness. There are also an earthy quality. Not much in terms of hops; just the slightest floral aroma makes it past all of the sweet, roasty aromas
Very big on the roasted grains and caramel malts. Coffee and chocolate mingle with a faint smokiness. The hop presence is barely noticable; just a slight floral presence lurking in the background. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Slightly slick on the tongue, and incredibly easy to drink.
Easily one of my favorite styles, a good Schwarzbier is hard to find, this one is good but tends toward the heavier end of the style, almost approaching porter territory.

A: Had this one on-tap at Coleman Public House, poured into a pint glass. Had a jet black color and a thick texture. There was a half inch of creamy, tan-colored, long-lasting head. Average lacing.
S: A nice aroma of malt, chocolate, and a little grain.
T: Tasted of a little chocolate, malt, grain, and a hint of coffee in the end. Not your classic schwarzbier flavor - it almost reminded me of a porter - but it's definitely very tasty.
M: A well-carbonated beer with a dry finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A very well made beer that might not please fans of the classic schwarzbier style, but is definitely a worthy beer.

S: fine. Old rasputinish. More pale coffee than anything with a distinct absence of chocolate and maybe vanilla influence.
T: good. Solid Imperial Schwarzbier with a dry taste and distinct coffee with some other pale flare, very true to the scent
M: nicely carbonated. Very similar to a founders breakfast stout with a head that quickly fades with a hint of stickiness.
O: tried at boone's in charleston sc. Best draft ive had under 5$ in South Carolina. Definitely recommend valuewise and brand new keg on 11/20/11.

Nail Polish – Complete details about Nail Polish
Unlike a great many other cosmetics that have already a history of hundreds and also thousands in years, toenail polish (or possibly lacquer, or enameled) is practically completely a good invention of twentieth century technology. Nail coverings weren't unknown within ancient times—the upper classes of ancient Egypt probably used henna to help you dye each hair as well as fingernails—but mainly, its formula, manufacture together with handling share developments throughout modern chemical substance technology.
Modern toe nail polish is sold in fluid form inside small bottles as well as being applied by having a tiny clean. Within a few momemts after practical application, the chemical substance hardens as well as forms a shiny coating around the fingernail that could be both water- and even chip-resistant. Typically, a level of fasten polish may possibly last a number of days just before it starts off to snack and show up off. Nail polish can be removed manually by employing nail shine "remover, " a fabulous substance built to break down and dissolve the polish.
Raw Equipment
There is very little single system for toe nail polish. You can find, however, several ingredient types that will be used. These kinds of basic equipment include: motion picture forming solutions, resins and also plasticizers, solvents, and also coloring solutions. The very formulation associated with a nail polish, apart from for a corporate magic formula, greatly is dependent upon choices expressed by chemists along with chemical engineers on the research and also development point of development. Additionally, as chemicals as well as other ingredients turn into accepted or even discredited for uses, adjustments are manufactured. For occasion, formaldehyde was initially once commonly used in polish production, but now it really is rarely utilized.
The chief ingredient within nail polish is nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) cotton, a flammable and additionally explosive component also found in making dynamite. Nitrocellulose can be a liquid combined with tiny, near-microscopic natural cotton fibers. Inside the manufacturing technique, the 100 % organic cotton fibers tend to be ground even smaller and don't need to be removed. The nitrocellulose comes in various viscosities to enhance the preferred viscosity for the final merchandise.
Nitrocellulose acts being a film providing agent. For fasten polish to be effective properly, a tough film should form over the exposed surface for the nail, nonetheless it cannot create so quickly that this prevents the actual material below from blow drying. (Think of commercial puddings or possibly gelatin items that dry or film by using an exposed surface and take care of the moist product beneath. )#) On it's own or used in combination with other practical ingredients, the particular nitrocellulose roll film is brittle and additionally adheres badly to nails.
Manufacturers add more synthetic resins and additionally plasticizers (as well as occasionally similar, natural supplements) with their mixes to better flexibility, level of resistance to cleaning and drinking water, and other sorts of qualities; older meals sometimes actually used nylon for this function. Because of numerous desired qualities involved, nonetheless, there is very little single resin or education represent resins which meets each specification. On the list of resins and additionally plasticizers utilised today tend to be castor gas, amyl and also butyl stearate, and also mixes about glycerol, essential fatty acids, and acetic acids.
The colorings together with other components regarding nail polish must remain contained within more than one solvents that hold the colorings and also other materials until the polish is normally applied. Right after application, the solvent must manage to evaporate. Most of the time, the solvent at the same time acts a fabulous plasticizer. Butyl stearate together with acetate natural ingredients are perhaps the most common.
Finally, the polish will need to have a colour. Early polishes put to use soluble inorganic dyes, but the latest product consists of pigments of 1 type or even another. Selection of pigment as well as its ability to combine well using the solvent and also other ingredients is essential to producing a good high quality product.
Nail polish can be a "suspension" unit, in which in turn particles associated with color can easily only end up held through solvent in a relatively short time frame, rarely around several years. Shaking a fabulous bottle involving nail shine before use really helps to restore compensated particles into the suspension; a really old container of toenail polish sometimes have so a good deal settled pigment that hot weather can hardly ever be restored on the solvent. The situation of settling is in all likelihood the toughest to be addressed inside manufacturing operation.
In element to common coloring pigments, other., color tones may be added more than the colour, tone, and hue with the desired item. Micas (little reflective vitamins and minerals), also found in lipsticks, certainly are a common preservative, as is certainly "pearl" or possibly "fish scale" importance. "Pearl" or possibly "guanine" is literally made through small fish scales and skin, superbly cleaned, and mixed with solvents which include castor lube and butyl acetate. The guanine can be mixed along with gold, gold, and bronze ringtones.
Pigment opportunities are restricted from the federal Foodstuff and Medication Administration (FDA), which keeps lists of pigments considered acceptable among others that can be dangerous and is not to be used. Producing plants really are inspected frequently, and producers must manage to prove they're just using only FDA accepted pigments. Considering that the FDA details of reasonable and unwanted pigments alter with fresh findings and even reexaminations in colors, manufacturers occasionally must reformulate a fabulous polish system.
The Processing
Early techniques of making toe nail polish used many different methods that today look charmingly amateurish. One typical technique was to mix cleaned scraps of movie film together with other cellulose through alcohol as well as castor gasoline and get out of the combo to read overnight within the covered containers. The collaboration was afterward strained, tinted, and perfumed. Even though recognizable like nail polish, the product was hardly what there is available today.
The contemporary manufacturing process may be a very sophisticated operation utilizing very skilled workers, superior machinery, and also robotics. Today's potential customers expect the nail polish to utilize smoothly, equally, and conveniently; to set in place relatively rapidly; and to generally be resistant in order to chipping along with peeling. Furthermore, the polish needs to be dermatologically simple.
Mixing any pigment by means of nitrocellulose and additionally plasticizer
1 All the pigments are mixed with nitrocellulose along with plasticizer running a "two-roll" differential speed mill. This generator grinds the pigment between male rollers that are able to work together with increasing speed for the pigment is without a doubt ground lower. The goal is always to produce okay dispersion within the color. A variation with this mill stands out as the Banbury Mixer (utilized also on the production of rubber designed for rubber rings).
a couple of When suitably and completely milled, the mix is taken from the mill in sheet form after which you can broken together into small-scale chips just for mixing along with the solvent. The mixing is conducted in s / s kettles which might hold from about 5 to 2, 000 gallons. Stainless steel can be used because the nitrocellulose could be very reactive within the presence of iron. The kettles are generally jacketed so the mixture is cooled by circulating cold water and another liquid in the outside the kettle. The temperature with the kettle, as well as the rate about cooling, are usually controlled just by both computer systems and technicians.
This step is completed in or perhaps a room or perhaps area made to control that hazards associated with fire as well as explosion. Most contemporary factories perform this task in a neighborhood with walls which will close on if a powerful alarm does sound and, in the eventuality of explosion, with ceilings designed to safely whack off without endangering the rest of the structure.
Incorporating other items
3 Components are confused in computerized, closed kettles. By the end of the job, the incorporate is cooled slightly ahead of the addition associated with such some other materials simply because perfumes and even moisturizers.
some The mix of is after that pumped straight into smaller, fifty-five gallon percussion, and afterward trucked towards a production range. The ended nail improve is pumped straight into explosion evidence pumps, and into reduced bottles created for the retail market.
Top quality Control
Extreme focus on quality control is a must throughout the actual manufacturing method. Not sole does good quality control improve safety in the act, but it's the only way that your particular manufacturer is assured of consumer confidence and trustworthiness. A solitary bottle of low quality polish can lose complaintant forever. Irrespective of quality manipulate, however, no single nail polish is ideal; the polish always represents a chemical compromise between that which is desired and even what the software creator can produce.
The toe nail polish is tested through the entire manufacturing process for a couple of important reasons (blow drying time, smoothness regarding flow, high gloss, hardness, shade, abrasion battle, etc. )#). Subjective testing, the location where the mixture or possibly final item is examined or applied, is recurring. Objective, lab testing about samples, though more hours consuming, can be necessary to assure a workable product. Lab tests really are both complex and unforgiving, yet no make would perform without them.
The Long term future
Perhaps the significant problem with nail polishes—from the actual consumer's level of view—is along the blow drying time. Various types of producing fast-drying polish have also been patented, and also these ways, along by means of others that will be still being developed, may bring about marketable supplements. Of all the variants of types involving cosmetics, nail shine is the one which is very likely to evermore ! positively suffering from advancements and even developments inside chemistry area.

Gotta make that free throw.
Gotta make that free throw.
Need to force switches of Rivers on Kidd and attack. Kidd can't guard anyone with that kinda quickness and handles anymore.
Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Facts with Ro Brown and Wednesdays at 1pm for Sports Revolution to hear me speak my mind on all things Saints and Pelicans related and more.
Only on WBOK 1230 AM.
Feel free to PM me for more details.
Surprised that was against Vasquez
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name.
Why do teams hit contested 3 with ease against us. Are we too short? lol
I thought we'd already written off Rivers?
Seriously the 3s that have just been rainin for the other teams the last few games! Teams just throw it up and it goes in!
Wait I blinked my eye. Did I just see EG in this commercial? He said, "Are you ready New Orleans?"
He'll probably go back to being written off next game.
so sick of melo
Is he smiling for pictures?
roberts, you cant be serious
yeah leave felton open. why not
That's what they want. Double Melo so they can knock a three down in your face.
Double clutching when no one contests only works when Jordan does it.

Title: Backscatter grid of the Port Arthur survey area
Custodian: Geoscience Australia
Jurisdiction: Australia
Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in southeast Tasmania in 2008 and 2009 (GA0315) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through observation of habitats using underwater towed video. Data was acquired using the Tasmania Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI) Research Vessel Challenger. Bathymetric mapping was undertaken in seven survey areas, including: Freycinet Pensinula (83 sq km, east coast and shelf); Tasman Peninsula (117 sq km, east coast and shelf); Port Arthur and adjacent open coast (17 sq km); The Friars (41 sq km, south of Bruny Island); lower Huon River estuary (39 sq km); D Entrecastreaux Channel (7 sq km, at Tinderbox north of Bruny Island), and; Maria Island (3 sq km, western side). Video characterisations of the seabed concentrated on areas of bedrock reef and adjacent seabed in all mapped areas, except for D Entrecastreaux Channel and Maria Island. fortescue_2m is an ArcGIS layer of the backscatter grid of the Tasman Peninsula survey arae produced from the processed EM3002 backscatter data of the survey area using the CMST-GA MB Process

At the top is a worded description of the Common Cents measurement of rod stiffness for making rod comparisons. Following below are Chris's measurements for how many pennys it takes to bend each rod model 1/3rd of its length, indicating the relative stiffness and the manufacturer's classification of the rod as being a Seiryu, Tenkara or Keiryu rod for 82 different fixed line rods so far. Here is the link: http://www.tenkarabum.com/common-cents-database.html
Comparing the penny rating between two different rods will tell you how stiff they are in comparison to one another, and the action index, whether the rods are rated 5:5, 6:4, 7:3 or 8:2 respectively, will give a good indication of whether two different rods are slow 5:5, medium 6:4, or fast action 7:3 & 8:2 rods, and where they are bending along their length. This is not everything you might like to know but it gives enough information to tell you if it is a rod you would want to consider buying or want to cast in the first place. Of course it helps greatly if you already own and fish one of the rods listed in the Data to compare a rod to you are thinking of buying.

Sorry, a technical glitch meant your CSD comment disappeared into the ether. Good point, so I would be keen to see you repost it it was no trouble. Sorry again.
Thanks for all the feedback - it's much appreciated by all The Drum team.
Thanks for the feedback - the pressure of work question has now been fixed. Obviously, the long hours worked here are taking their toll! However, we have had an outstanding response to this survey and we will publish the result soon. They should give a real insight into what is a really important issue.

Clearly, as the payday industry argues, conventional lenders are not filling the need for small, short-term loans. Until these products become available at reasonable rates, minimally regulated "fringe financing" will thrive. Anniston's moratorium on business licenses for payday loan stores is one approach to protecting consumers from this mushrooming industry. Arise members in Lee County have been working for the past year to convince financial institutions in that community to develop low-cost, short-term loan products. They are now developing educational material to let consumers in their area know that there are other, more affordable options than payday loans.
Community responses are encouraging, but substantive change will require action at another level — the Legislature. In each of the past two regular legislative sessions, bills have been introduced that would purportedly "reform" the industry. The bills proposed allowing consumers to cancel payday loans by returning the loan amount by the close of the next business day, to request an extended payment plan, to receive a rebate for early payment in full, and to prohibit payday loans to members of the military service or their families. Interestingly, they made no change to the allowable interest rate of 456 percent.
While some of these changes sound good on the surface, a little research quickly indicates that the payday loan industry itself has been pushing these same proposals across the country, hoping to end further efforts at regulation. According to North Carolina's Center for Responsible Lending, they do nothing to keep consumers from becoming trapped in a cycle of debt to payday lenders. A consumer desperate enough to pay an exorbitant interest rate for a short-term loan is unlikely to see an overnight shift in circumstances that would allow him or her to rescind the loan the following day. An extended repayment plan that costs more to use than taking out a subsequent payday loan is unlikely to appeal to low-income workers struggling to make ends meet. The same is true for rebates for early payment — they're good for those consumers who comply, but simple hard-luck arithmetic shows that few would be able to get ahead that quickly. And the prohibition of payday loans to military members and their families? Congress has already taken steps in this direction, capping interest rates on loans to service members at 36 percent and citing the never-ending debt cycle affecting many young military families as a threat to national security.
Advocates across the country will quickly tell you that nothing short of an interest cap will protect consumers. Last month, the Ohio Legislature became the 13th state to cap interest rates by imposing a limit of 28 percent on payday loans. Legislative battles over an interest rate cap have occurred in other states in recent years and without a doubt will ultimately prevail. When Georgia payday lenders ignored administrative prohibitions, the Legislature criminalized the transactions. The Attorney General of Arkansas in March of this year began enforcing a constitutional limit of 17 percent interest on payday loans. New Hampshire, Oregon and the District of Columbia have all moved in recent months to cap the allowable interest rate on payday loans. An analyst for investment banker Sterne Agee has said that the payday loan industry, which earned an estimated $4.6 billion in fees in 2005, runs "the risk of being shut out of making the loans nationwide."
Alabama has traditionally lagged behind the rest of the country in protecting low-income workers. We were the last state to guarantee tenants' rights. We tax our lowest earners more harshly than our wealthiest. And yet, in 1959, Gov. John Patterson championed the Small Loan Act to clamp down on the loan sharks of his day, proving that Alabama can force the pendulum to swing the other way. Only time will tell how long we will continue to allow vulnerable Alabamians to be exploited by legalized usury.

Organizers for festival featuring Insane Clown Posse plans to pay debt
CAVE-IN-ROCK, Ill. (AP) - Organizers of an outdoor festival featuring the rap-metal group Insane Clown Posse say they'll make good on their debts.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reports the company that put on the festival issued a statement saying it has "no intention of turning its back on these financial obligations."
The Gathering of the Juggalos was presented by Psychopathic Records Inc. The yearly festival drew tens of thousands of people to southern Illinois for a week of music and entertainment.
Vendors have been complaining that they've received bad checks to cover the costs of the event near Cave-In-Rock.
