The Lightning Gun Project is an independent laser research project developing a non-lethal directed energy technology that uses a high energy laser pulse to create a plasma in air. This plasma emits an intense localized Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) that can destroy the integrated electronic circuitry in a missiles sensor and guidance systems, thereby instantly neutralizing missile threats at long range. With active target neutralization and speed of light delivery, Laser Powered EMP (LEMP) weapons have numerous potential advantages over conventional countermeasure technologies such as flares, chaff, radar jamming, laser jamming and stealth materials which are complex, expensive and only partially effective solutions at best. We have successfully completed small scale experiments that prove the principle of LEMP technology and validate its feasibility for missile countermeasure applications. Experimental results indicate that a Laser Powered EMP product could potentially be as small as a few meters in length and cost under a million dollars per aircraft in volume. Lightning Gun Inc. has filed a patent application for a Laser Guided and Powered EMP weapon with the USPTO. We are currently working on ways to generate the funding required to scale laser output up to 1kW power levels and prove the technology for real-world applications. Laser
Powered EMP technology potentially requires only a kilowatt class laser
or smaller
to disable a missile target which means a laser platform
that is a fraction of the size, power
and cost of more lethal megawatt class laser weapons intended
vaporize and destroy targets. Compact LEMP modules could be
installed on the
undercarriage of most airplanes and helicopters at a cost that is
attractive to owners of both military and commercial aircraft. LEMP
offers a vastly improved
level of combat effectiveness over conventional countermeasures while
meeting the size, power and cost requirements of modern commercial and
military aircraft. It has the potential to become the
first truly affective and affordable missile countermeasures
platform that can offer the entire aerospace industry a high
degree of protection against all missile types and even unmanned aerial
vehicle threats. LEMP is a long range, precision EMP weapon and
is a completely
technology that only has potential for defensive applications.

Published December 5, 2012
As northern California dries out after its latest series of intense rains, new weather stations are helping forecasters there more accurately predict flooding from the state's most damaging type of winter storms.
Sometimes referred to as the "pineapple express," these events occur when winds sweep tropical moisture into narrow filaments.
The filaments, which scientists call atmospheric rivers, hit land as a series of intense storms, one after another. In 2010 one particularly strong atmospheric river doused parts of California with up to 26 inches (660 millimeters) of rain and dumped up to 17 feet (5.2 meters) of snow in the mountains.
The latest one struck last week, dropping 15 inches (450 millimeters) of rain in parts of northern California—just as scientists were preparing to report on the new forecasting system in San Francisco, at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
Atmospheric rivers are concentrated bands of water vapor that form about a mile (1.6 kilometers) above the ocean, typically ahead of a cold front, then migrate east.
Satellite images have long been able to show them heading for the coast. But it's only now that forecasters are able to zero in on just how much precipitation and flooding they might cause when they arrive.
(Also see "Amazon Losing 'Flying Rivers,' Ability to Curb Warming.")
Tracking Rivers in the Sky
To do this, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other scientists are in the process of installing an $11 million array of automated weather stations, which will be scattered throughout the state.
The backbone of the new system consists of four "atmospheric river observatories" spaced along the coast. These will train Doppler radar on the heart of approaching storms.
"That tells us a lot about the winds aloft," Martin Ralph, a meteorologist at NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, said at the AGU meeting. Knowledge of the winds helps predict how far inland the storms will travel and how fast.
Backing up these observatories is a grid of soil-moisture monitors and snow-level radars. The former help determine how much rain the soils can absorb without flooding.
The latter instruments beam radar pulses into the sky to determine the altitude at which falling snowflakes are changing to raindrops. That information will allow forecasters to estimate how much precipitation will fall as snow, and how much as rain, when the storms plow into the Sierra Nevada mountains.
And that in turn will help determine the risk of flooding. (Watch video: "Floods 101.")
Snow collects in the mountains and doesn't run into rivers until the spring melt. Rain runs off immediately. So the difference between snowflakes and raindrops is crucial—and forecasters have had great trouble calling the outcome in advance.
"Out over the Pacific we have very little data," said Kevin Baker, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service's San Francisco Bay office. "We're relying on satellites. The integration of this kind of information is critical to improving the forecast."
The Pacific Northwest isn't the only place where coastlines can be hit by atmospheric rivers. At any give time several of the filaments can be spotted around the globe.
"They're the engines of the water cycle in the mid-latitudes," Ralph said—the main pathway by which water vapor from the warm, wet tropics is shunted toward the cold, dry poles. On average, the atmospheric rivers striking the U.S. West Coast carry ten times as much water as the Mississippi River.
Global Warming Impact Unclear
How will California's weather change as a result of global warming? The state seems fairly certain to get more of its precipitation in the future as rain and less as snow. That by itself will increase the risk of flooding—and also of water shortages, because the Sierra Nevada snowpack functions as a natural reservoir.
(Read about California's water crisis in National Geographic magazine.)
It's less clear how global warming will affect atmospheric rivers and the storms they bring. The warmer air of the future will be able to hold more moisture, but weather models indicate that the speed at which the storms move may slow down.
The first change will tend to increase, the second to reduce the rate at which moisture hits land. Global climate models suggest that by the end of this century, "on average, the changes are relatively small," said Michael Dettinger, a research hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey in La Jolla, California.
(See "More Mega-Snowstorms Coming—Global Warming to Blame?")
But that's the average. The models also suggest that global warming will increase the extremes, Dettinger said—delivering "a few megastorms of a scale that we may not have encountered, historically."

Saturday May 4th
Indulge, and say all things cheese at next week's Artisan Cheese Festival taking place at the Sheraton in Sonoma County. There will be cheese makers, brewers, wineries, and chefs. See the entire participant list HERE.
For full details and ticket information, visit the Artisan Cheese Festival Website.
Yesterday, myself and other members of the media visited Sunset Magazine in Menlo Park, California for a tour of their exquisite gardens and work place. To say the least, it was impressive. When your work surroundings consist of exotic cacti, plump grapefruit trees, and a massive outdoor kitchen, we think you've got it quite good.
From mini Umami Hatch Burgers, to Chicken Tinga Tostadas, it was a night to remember. After all, this is the first time in Sunset's 115 year history that they've dedicated an issue entirely to food. Although the first, I have a feeling this won't be the last. With Food Editor Margo True, the staff at Sunset are pros when it comes to all things food and drink. Their wine cellar is a vino lover's dream.
See more photos from the event HERE.
Super Bowl XLVI is right around the corner and we know that many of you are either hosting your own game day party, or attending a gathering as a guest. Even if you aren't a big fan of football, we know you're a fan of food, and there's going to be plenty of that to go around on this very special football Sunday.
Food Fashionista asked some super Chefs to share their favorite recipes for the annual football festivities. Best part of all, you can easily create these unique and tasty recipes at home with the step-by-step instructions and ingredients listed by these professional chefs.
This year, forego being the friend who brings the bag of chips and jar of salsa, and impress your friends with one of the dishes below. We can't predict if it'll be the San Francisco 49er's or the Baltimore Ravens who'll be holding up the trophy this year, but we can guarantee that you'll be a winner in the eyes of your Superbowl party comrades and foes if you make one of these recipes for this coming Sunday's big celebration.
Chicken & Andouille Sausage Gumbo Recipe by Chef Justin Simoneaux (Boxing Room)
Chef Justin Simoneaux's recommended recipe is Smoked Chicken & Andouille Sausage Gumbo, because it's hearty and can feed a group! Also, since the Niners are playing the Ravens in his home state of New Orleans, it's like bringing a little taste of the South to San Francisco.
As you can tell from the photo, Justin's team is the Saints!
Roasted Chicken Wings in Fesenjoon Sauce Recipe by Chef Hoss Zare (Zare Fly Trap)
"My recipe is for roasted chicken wings in fesenjoon sauce. This is simple and uncomplicated, the sauce even matches my favorite team, the niners. This recipe is easy and a crowd pleaser. The color is reminiscent of the 49ers. Prediction - 49ers: 36, Baltimore: 24" - Hoss Zare
Curry Puffs Recipe by Kris Toliao & Yuka Ioroi (Cassava Bakery + Cafe)
Kris is more of a Manchester United Football fan, but he does like the 49er's and Yuka really likes the New Orleans Saints because she says "their story is beautiful."
Chipotle Chili Glazed Dungeness Crab Recipe by Chef Mark Dommen (One Market Restaurant)
"I chose this recipe because I wanted to do something with crab, keeping the main ingredient local as the 49ers are in the Superbowl. I also wanted to make it finger food and fun so that people had to use their hands to eat it. I like to compare it to the shellfish version of chicken wings and something that would go really well with cold beer on Superbowl Sunday. The crab could easily be substituted for head on shrimp in the shell." - Mark Dommen
Mark's favorite football team is the 49ers!
Cioppino, Crab Toasts, and Crudite Recipe by Chef Michael Mina (Mina Group & CookTasteEat)
Chef Michael Mina is a 49er faithful and these are Chef Mina's "San Francisco" recipes in honor of the 49ers going to the Super Bowl (crab, seafood, RED food...)
Charleston Tacos with Braised Short Ribs Recipe by Chef Jet Tila (The Charleston LA)
Chef Hogan BLEEDS green...meaning he is a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan (from his home town). He doesn't dislike the Niners at all, but he believes "you have to stay true to your roots."
Sourdough Cheese Steak with Homemade Chez Whiz and Crisp Onions Recipe by Chef Thomas Weibull (Velvet Room at CLIFT)
"Why is this dish my favorite? Well coming from Philly you can't watch football without Philly Cheese Steak. It's like drinking water for us. I think I had my first Cheese steak when I was 5 and then once every weekend since then...well when I lived there that is, I can still smell those Amorosa Rolls though this version is more a West Coast style." - Chef Thomas Weibull
Chicken Katsu Sandwich Recipe by Chef Richie Nakano (Hapa Ramen)
Chef Richie Nakano of Hapa Ramen may be known as a die-hard baseball and San Francisco Giant's fan, but he hasn't forgotten that his city is represented in this year's Super Bowl.
The Winter Fancy Food Show - the largest marketplace devoted exclusively to specialty foods and beverages on the West Coast, arrived in San Francisco for its 38th year.

Bobbi Kristina to Inherit $20 from Late Mother
Is Bobbi Kristina Brown pregnant? We don't know.
Will Bobbi Kristina Brown soon be a very rich young woman? Oh yes.
Sources confirm to TMZ that Cissy Houston, the mother of the late great singer, is no longer contesting her daughter's will. Bobbi will eventually receive approximately $20 million from Whitney's estate.
A few weeks ago, Cissy and Pat Houston had filed papers with a judge to block the inheritance because they felt it would be "too much, too soon" for an 18-year old who has suffered through substance abuse problems.
But this insider says an agreement has been reached and it's almost identity to the one Whitney laid out in her will:
Bobbi will receive 10% when she turns 21 ($2 million), just under 20% at age 25 ($4 million) and the remainder when she turns 30 ($16 million).
Despite earlier contention, all sides are reportedly satisfied with the arrangement.

A - Black, with a thin mocha head that has some retention and lacing.
S - Strong roast, oak, vanilla, booziness, burnt sugar.
T/M - Roasted malts hit first, and are followed up by the bourbon notes. Mouthfeel drops after the initial taste, feeling thin and watery. Booziness settles in and dominates the lingering aftertaste, which lacks depth.
O - Looks good, smells good, but the thin body and booziness just seems out of place.

Served on Tap.
Pours black with an off white head that lasts all the way down. Red around the edges. The nose matches the taste. There is a bit of chocolate, a bit of coffee, some roastyness, a bit of vinalla, and of course a touch of bourbon. The tastes all seem balanced and in check but its not extremely exciting and I didnt get a ton of the bourbon character. The feel of this beer is decent, It has a nice size but it has a somewhat unpleasant soapyness that I cant quite put my finger on. It's a pretty decent beer, nothing to really seek out by any means but if your into it, not bad.

Served on tap at BBC (4th St) in Louisville, KY.
A: Pours a jet black in color. The beer has a half finger tall dark beige head that reduces to about a quarter finger tall but never completely goes away. Very light lacing is observed.
S: The aroma is not as intense as I expected - a little on the mild side. Aromas of burnt and dark roasted malts, some light oakiness, and bourbon + vanilla.
T: Lots of intense bourbon and vanilla flavors along with some light amounts of oakiness/woodiness. Light amounts of dark roasted (almost burnt) malts. The beer has a light lingering bitterness. I can also taste some of the harshness of the alcohol from the bourbon.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Some alcohol warming is present. Slightly thin.
O: Not a bad beer but a little thinner that I wanted/expected for the style. There is a nice complexity to the flavor but it is a little harsh to be a sessionable beer. Alcohol could have been more well hidden.

Served on tap into a becker glass at Doc Crowes
A- Poured black with a one-two finger frothy mocha head that leaves coating lace. Everything you want a stout like this to look like
S- Strong and complex aroma of vanilla, oak, chocolate, and roasty notes.
T- Big flavoful stout with notes of vanilla, oak, chocolate, roasted coffee, and bourbon. Nice balance between sweet and roasty, the bourbon notes are not overdone and complements the stout very nicely
M- Soft, creamy, chewy mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Really a silky smooth mouthfeel perfect for a stout.
O- A great barrel aged stout that is very drinkable. Hardly a trace of booziness in this beer, just some nice warming. Really flavorful and a great mouthfeel. I have not had a ton of bourbon barrel aged beers but many I have had really overdo the bourbon but this beer strikes a great balance.

Served on-tap at the brew house in a fluted pilsner glass (not sure about the bartender's choice of glassware here). Deep black body and a small tan head. Not much lacing.
The aroma is weak overall, maybe due to the glass (snifter or tulip may have been better). Some define bourbon aroma and only a small amount of roasted malt.
The flavor is a little better. Heavy bourbon and vanilla flavors dominate the taste. Roasted malt and oak come along for the ride but in minor roles.
The mouthfeel is very thin for a stout. Overall, I find this beer to be too sweet and thin to compete in the -bal aged category. Decent try but not great.

Weak artificial flavors trumped by an even worse aroma
A: Very dark but still clear ruby body with a quickly settling light khaki head.
S: Coffee, light dusty hops, and a foul stinky aroma that I can't identify... kinda like you smoked a cheap cigar through you ass and then belched it up through your mouth.
T: Biggish but stale chocolate coffee roast. Syrupy sweet, almost artificially so, yet still thin tasting. Slight drying earthy hops on top. No aspects of barrel aging are apparent.
M: On the thin side but with a decent texture.
O: Taste is not exactly a winner, but the aroma is a complete deal breaker.

Thanks to a BA member recommendation, we headed out to the Blue 5 restaurant in Roanoke, VA. This was one of the beers on tap. Served in a standard pint glass.
A-Nice, dark, opaque color. Little to no head but a slight frothy ring around the glass.
S-Very nice. You can smell a sweetness that also has that bourbon smell in the background. So far, so good.
T-Ah, nice stout. A nice mix of carmel, coffee and chocolate. The ending is where you get that slight boozy taste of bourbon.
M-Not an overly heavy beer which is usually associated with a stout. Slight burn from the alcohol.
D-I enjoyed this beer. It does have a decent ABV at 8.6% and that is really the only thing holding me back from having several of these. We were sampling some other beers they had on tap so I had to stay sober enough to call us a cab to head back to the hotel...HA, HA! Overall, not an everyday beer but a nice stout none the less.
I enjoyed this enough to purchase a bottle at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA to share with my buddy at our next tasting.

I was happy to see this on as a tap offering at the Tip Top in Columbus.
Served in a standard shaker, the beer is jet black with a smallish tan head.
It has a nose of molasses, bourbon, charred malts,
The taste is similar to the smell; it is sweet with charred malts, very subdued bourbon. It also has percolated coffee and brown sugar.
Mouth is thinner than expected. But it does make for a pretty drinkable beer

A: Nearly black with 1-finger tan, big-bubbled head with good retention and nice lacing down the glass.
S: Strong cardboard bourbon aroma with fairly weak roasted maltiness and earthy hoppiness
T: Bourbon occupies most of the flavor as the maltload falls way short of adequate. The flavor is by no means bad but just isn't up to snuff for the style. Unfortunately, BBC undermalts most of their brews.
M: Medium body at most which is below the bar.
D: Just doesn't have the girth to even approach the 2nd tier for this style. Middle of the road.

a thick black pour with a slight bit of head which quickly dissipated. smells of delicious sweet chocolate, hint of vanilla and bourbon, molasses. the bourbon smells really subtle, which is honestly relieving for a change. OOH YEAH! a delicious coffee/chocolate flavor blast up front followed by a nice mellow vanilla bourbon bite. a really nicely done stout, i honestly cannot for the life of me understand the average rating.. this is one of my favorites so far. nice bitter dark chocolate flavor lingers for most of the drink and every gassy burp brings up hints of vanilla. really loving this one. medium in bod with moderate carbonation.. light for a heavy bourbon barrel stout, but honestly nice for a change. a very nice easy drinking stout mellow on the bourbon, but it's still very noticeable. really like this one a lot.

Pours an opaque brown/black with a foamy half inch tan head that dissipates fairly quickly.
Roast malt, chocolate, coffee, and oak form the initial aroma. There's a bit of nuttiness and hints of dark fruit, adding complexity. Vanilla and bourbon surface as it warms.
Flavor is fairly roast dominant initially, fading to chocolate mid palate, and coffee bitterness at the finish. It's a touch acrid. Oak underlies the profile, with bourbon being just a subtle note. Vanilla is present, but not overwhelming. There's a bit of nuttiness and toast, as well.
Body is a tad watery, with low carbonation and moderate alcohol warmth.
Lacks in bourbon character. Good notes of chocolate, but may be a little overly sweet.

A- poured into a snifter. Vigorous pour gives a pitch black appearance with a small, fizzy tan head that reduces quickly and eventually completely dissapears leaving no lace.
S- melted Hershey bar, tobacco, and charred wood. Just a hint of woodsy bourbon at the end.
T- chocolate continues on the palate with notes of day old coffee. Chocolate and roasted malts give a bit of charred character, finishes dry with just a hint of bourbon. Can't really pick up any of the oaky barrel flavors. I actually get a bit of cola on the back end.
M- low carbonation with medium body, somewhat slick mouthfeel with with light-carbonated foamy finish. Mouthfeel felt a little thin overall.
O- my grading is based on what it is, a stout, although the ABV may suggest otherwise. I was looking for more bourbon flavors but its still a pretty tasty stout nonetheless.

12 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard pressure cap acquired at Ramirez Liquor in Los Angeles and served into a New Belgium stem-goblet in me gaff in Los Feliz. Expectations are low given its current ratings. I'm starting to see this brewery as one that needlessly bourbon barrel ages everything whilst lacking the finesse to pull it off. Reviewed live.
Bottled November 2012.
I do think it's intriguing that this is currently labelled simply an American Stout and yet it's barrel aged. Not sure what to make of that. I naturally assumed it'd be an imperial stout.
Served straight from the fridge and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
Not paired with food.
A: Pours a quarter finger pathetially thin dark khaki colour head of no real cream, okay thickness, and abysmal (~20 second) retention. Body colour is a solid nontransparent opaque black. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Standard fare for the style, with a below average head.
Sm: Bourbon is prominent, but I get little subtlety; there are no vanilla or toffee notes, for example. Dark malts. Maybe a light buried roasty character. It's simple but appealing; the bourbon in particular is intriguing. A moderate strength aroma. No yeast or alcohol is detectable.
T: Bourbon, certainly. Dark malts. Chocolate malt. The bourbon character is certainly dominant, and is more rounded here than the aroma suggested; I do get traces of vanilla and toffee. Caramel. It's decently balanced but disappointingly simple. That said, it's quite a success as a stout with bourbon notes; I don't understand its current low reviews. Sure, it lacks the complexity and subtlety needed to be great, but I don't think it's merely average. No yeast or alcohol comes through, and that's fairly impressive at 8.6%. I like it. As it warmed, I noticed a very light buried chili pepper like spiciness.
Mf: A bit too smooth and wet for a stout, but it suits the flavour profile so I won't complain too much. Carbonation is good. Slightly creamy; I'd love more of that. Good palate presence. It's not unique or special, but it really works for the beer.
Dr: I quite like this one; I think many reviewers expect the complexity of an imperial stout. The price is a huge turn-off, but if I get out to Kentucky I'd seek out more beers from this brewery. It gets better as it warms. I'd have this again at a better price. Very drinkable for the well hidden ABV. What you see is what you get; it's a bourbon-forward stout. And a pretty good one at that. It accomplishes what it sought to, and I always applaud that.

12 oz. bottle poured into a nonic. Bottled in September 2012.
An aggressive pour on this yields about a one-finger head of tan foam that fades rather quickly. Some alcohol legs are evident in the glass, but zero lacing is left on the glass. The beer itself is a very dark brown that does not let light through in the glass.
With this being a bourbon barrel stout, I was expecting a much "bigger" nose on this. What's there is nice, if a little too mild for my expectations. The first thing I notice is the scent of dark fruits. There's a slightly smoky back to it, as well as some coffee and roasted malt. I don't pick up much "bourbon" smell; made just a hint of woodiness and vanilla smell if I concentrate really hard. What's there isn't bad, but if you're going to do a barrel aged beer, ya better go big with it.
As far as taste goes, it's mild, but balanced. A good dose of malty sweetness hits the tongue at first with flavors of smoke, dark fruit, and some dried cocoa/milk chocolate. The bourbon really comes in on the finish with some drying alcohol and some woody/vanilla character. For being as mild as it is, this beer is still well-balanced, I think. Respectable.
The body of this beer is far too thin for the style, though. However, in its defense, its crisp, medium body is a nice contrast from what one would expect for the style. The alcohol is fairly drying on the finish, and the lingering smoke/chocolate flavors are nice. I'm scoring this fairly high because it was easy to drink for this kind of beer.
Overall, not a bad beer. I was expecting something much bolder in flavor, but I can see that the barrel aging didn't take the main focus here. My biggest beef is that the base beer, the stout, was fairly standard to begin with - if we were dealing with a top-notch stout as the base beer, this could have been great.

Got this as an extra a few weeks ago but forget who sent it; thank you! 12 oz. bottle poured into my Bruery tulip. Bottles in September 2012.
a - Pours a pitch black color with two inches of dark tan head and moderate carbonation evident. Head leaves a tiny bit of lacing on the glass and the head leaves quickly.
s - Smells of sweet chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, bourbon, oak, coconut, light coffee, toasted malts, and caramel malts. Really nice nose, a lot going on and they work well together.
t - Tastes of sweet milk chocolate, cream, vanilla, roasted malts, bitter chocolate, toasted malts, coffee, light bourbon, and oak. Much less bourbon here than the nose, but still very nice.
As it warms, up a littke bourbon comes out, which is nice.
m - Medium to full body and moderate carbonation. No real heat, and pretty nice and thick.
o - Overall I liked this one a lot; I was pleasantly surprised and liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Lots of chocolate and vanilla and some nice light bourbon, this is a good BBA stout that comes in 12 oz. bottles and isn't too heavy or high ABV. Would definitely have it again.

Oh man, this looked so good from the bottle, then saw the lower r-avg... now I'm not so sure, but I gotta judge for myself. Bottled in June 2012, thanks to JonnyGalt (reddit) for this one.
Pours a darker colored fizzy head that hits about 1/2 a finger before fading semi quickly, no real lacing, looks like a 10% abv beer kinda head, pitch black beer.
Nose is mostly dark malts, bit of dark choc, cocoa, light roast and coffee and a bit of acrid roast. Lots of syrupy malts, caramel like but more candy dark syrup. Some oats, other dark malts, black malts, etc. Very light barrel with some vanilla and barely a hint of bourbon.
Taste starts with more dark malts, creamy milk chocolate and oats out front, with some caramel, toffee, and a bit of candy syrup. Just a touch of roasted malt and some coffee but not a lot of either, and that limits the touch of acrid flavor that seems to have died down in some of the sitting in the bottle. Nice vanilla character as well, from a touch of barrel but barely any other barrel characters and no bourbon. It brings a light chalky powdered cocoa as it goes, with light spicy hop bitterness, and some warming booze. Finish is drier but a little sticky, a bit more warming booze, more creamy milk chocolate but also powdered cocoa, hint of coffee and dark malts, and bit more vanilla.
Mouth is med to fuller bodied, fairly creamy, light but decent carb for the style, some warming booze.
Overall not bad, not a great beer, but the base stout seems like a pretty good beer. It doesn't have a whole lot of malts and flavors going on, it's not an imperial stout so fairly good for just an American stout. however, the lack of Bourbon Barrel really hits hard as I really wanted some of that.

Pours dark black with a fleeting 1/2 finger of darkish cream head. Light lace sheets.
Nose is light, sweet bourbon, light roast coffee, and light roasted malt. Not unappealing, but just not robust enough.
The taste is even lighter than the nose. The bourbon makes for nice flavor, but there is not enough underneath this to make the beer more interesting. There are light hints of coffee, a suggestion of chocolate, and very light roast malt. Just needs more of all of this to be good.
Feel is thin. Too thin for what I would expect from the label.
I want to like this more, but for the price there are just too many others that surpass.

Pours Dark but with no head. The smell is Coffee. Taste is vanilla, dark chocolate and caramel. A little sweet and some fruit. Bourbon and woody barrel taste as name implies. The alcohol lingers on the tongue. Creamy and has a full body. However the body needs more depth before I rank it higher.

12oz bottle into a snifter.
Pours pitch black with no head to speak of. There is a very thin ring of carbonation around the top of the beer but that is it.
Aroma has a distinct chocolate character along with somewhat subdued bourbon. A little bit of coffee and roasted malt as well.
Lots of bourbon and vanilla up front in the taste. Chocolate quickly rushes in along with caramel and some dark fruit. All this quickly fades, however, leaving a chalky feeling on the tongue. Mouthfeel is extremely watery and does nothing to support the heavy flavors. This really kills the beer for me. All the flavors are there to make this a very enjoyable brew but it needs a much more heavy mouthfeel.
Overall, a real missed opportunity here. I think if the mouthfeel could be improved this could really be a top notch brew. Until then, not really worth seeking out.

Served from bottle into a flared pilsner. Poured a dark red brown with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount quickly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of roasted malt, dark chocolate, wood, and sweet alcohol. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, dark chocolate, wood, sweet alcohol, subtle caramel, and smoke. It had a light feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a fairly decent brew. I saw this one on the menu and that it was bourbon barrel aged and had to try it. However, while the barrel was definitely there in this one it really made me wonder how good the actual base beer really is as the barrel was pretty much the dominate factor on this one. While being okay to drink it did leave a little to be desired. Worth trying at least once if you can, but I would leave it at that.

Back-to-Africa movement
This article needs attention from an expert in History. (November 2008) |
The Back-to-Africa movement, was also known as the Colonization movement, originated in the United States in the 19th century. It encouraged those of African descent to return to the African homelands of their ancestors. This movement would eventually inspire other movements ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement.
Contents |
The United States of America [edit]
In the early 19th century, the black population in the United States increased dramatically. Many of these African Americans were freed people seeking a better life. Many Southern freed blacks migrated to the industrial North to seek employment while others moved to surrounding Southern states.[1] Their progress was sometimes met with hostility as many whites around that time were not used to so many blacks being free. Many did not believe that free Africans had a place in America and thought the very existence of free blacks undermined the system of slavery and encouraged slaves to revolt.[2] In the North, whites feared that they would lose jobs to free African Americans, while other whites did not like the idea of blacks integrating with whites. Riots swept the nation in waves, usually in urban areas where there had been recent migration of blacks from the South. During the height of these riots in 1819, there were twenty five recorded riots, with many killed and injured.[3] The back-to-Africa movement was seen as the solution to these problems.
The idea of a Back to Africa Movement, however, started long before 1848. The American Colonization Society, founded in 1816 by Charles Fenton Mercer, was made up of two groups: "philanthropists, clergy and abolitionist who wanted to free African slaves and their descendants and provide them with the opportunity to return to Africa. The other group was the slave owners who feared free people of color and wanted to expel them from America."[4] In 1811, Paul Cuffee, "a black man who was a wealthy man of property, a petitioner for equal rights for blacks" [5] began to explore the idea of black people returning to their native land as he was convinced that "opportunities for the advancement of for black people were limited in America, and he became interested in African colonization." [6] With the help of some Quakers in Philadelphia he was able to transport thirty eight blacks to Freetown, Sierra Leone in 1815.[7] It was the American Colonization Society, however, that made the most progress with the Back to Africa Movement.
According to the Encyclopedia of Georgia History and Culture, "as early as 1820, black Americans had begun to return to their ancestral homeland through the auspices of the American Colonization Society" and by 1847, the American Colonization Society founded Liberia and designated it as the land to be colonized by all black people returning from the United States of America.[8] By the decline of the Back to Africa Movement, the American Colonization Society migrated over 13,000 blacks back to Africa.
Post-Emancipation [edit]
The back-to-Africa movement began to decline but revived again in 1877 at the end of the Reconstruction as many blacks in the South faced violence from groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.[9] Interest among the South's black population in African emigration peaked during the 1890s, a time when racism reached its peak and the greatest number of lynchings in American history took place.[10]
The continued experience of segregation and discrimination of African Americans after emancipation and the belief that they would never achieve true equality attracted many African Americans to a Pan-African emancipation in their mother land.
Soon thereafter, the movement declined following many hoax and fraudulent activities associated with the movement. According to Crumin, however, the most important reason for the decline in the back-to-Africa movement was that the "vast majority of those who were meant to colonize did not wish to leave. Most free blacks simply did not want to go "home" to a place from which they were generations removed. America, not Africa, was their home and they had little desire to migrate to a strange and forbidding land not their own." [11]
The eventual disillusionment of those who migrated to the North and frustrations of struggling to cope with urban life set the scene for the back-to-Africa movement of the 1920s, initiated by Marcus Garvey.[12] Those who migrated to the Northern States from the South, found that although they were financially better off, they remained at the bottom both economically and socially.[13]
Liberia [edit]
The History of Liberia (after the arrival of Europeans) is unique in Africa as it started neither as a native state nor as a European colony, but began in 1821 when private societies began founding colonies for free blacks from the United States on the coast of West Africa. The first American ships were very uncertain of where they were heading. Their plan was to follow the paths that the British had taken beforehand, or simply take a chance on where they would land. At first, they followed the previous routes of the British and reached the coast of Sierra Leone. After leaving Sierra Leone, the Americans slowly reached the southern part of the African coastline. Eventually, the Americans found what they were looking for, what the British called the Grain Coast. This region was called the Grain Coast because of the type of ginger spice used for medicine flavoring that it provided, which was called aframomum meleguete. In the Grain Coast, local African chiefs willingly gave the Americans tracts of land. It took the Americans the next twenty years to gain a series of fragmented settlements across the Liberia's barely settled beach. Along with the difficulty of gaining enough land, life was not easy for these early settlers. Disease was rampant, along with the lack of food. Hostile tribes presented the settlers with great struggle, destroying some of their new land settlements. Almost half of the new settlers had died over the first twenty years since their arrival in Liberia.[14] Liberia gained independence on 26 July 1847.[15]:5 With an elected black government and the offer of free land to African American settlers, Liberia became the most common destination of emigrating African Americans during the 19th century.[15]:2[16]
Blacks' interest in Liberia emigration emerged when the Civil War promised the end of slavery and meaningful change to the status of Black Americans. 7,000 slaves were freed by their masters, so at that point those free African Americans left the U.S. to escape racism and have more opportunities (mainly because they had lost all hope of achievement). In the 1830s, the movement became increasingly dominated by slave owners who wanted Liberia to absorb the free blacks of the South. Slaves freed from slave ships were sent here instead of their country of origin. The emigration of free blacks to Liberia particularly increased after the Nat Turner rebellion in 1831. Middle class blacks were more resolved to live as black Americans, many rural poor folks gave up on the United States and looked to Liberia to construct a better life. Liberia provided freedom and equality; it also represented a chance for a better life for the South's black farmers. The Liberian government promised 25 acres of free land for each immigrant family, 10 acres for a single adult, who came to the Black Republic. In the early 19th century, Liberia evoked mixed images in the minds of black Americans. At that point Liberia was packed to the brim with black families who left the United States in search of a better way of life, only to later return to their ancestral homeland of Africa. Page text.[15]:2-9
As noted by researcher Washington Hyde, "Black Americans - who in the time of slavery lost their original languages and much of their original culture, gained a distinctly American, English-speaking Christian identity, and had no clear idea of precisely where in the wide continent of Africa their ancestors had come from - were perceived by the natives of Liberia as foreign settlers. Having an African ancestry and a black skin color were definitely not enough. Indeed, their settlement in Liberia had much in common with the contemporary white settlement of the American Frontier and these settlers' struggle with Native American tribes (...). The Liberian experience can also be considered as anticipating that of Zionism and Israel - with Jews similarly seeking redemption through a return to an ancestral land and similarly being regarded as foreign interlopers by its natives, the Palestinians . It would take Americo-Liberians a century and more to become truly accepted as one of Liberia's ethnic groups(...). All of which certainly contributed to most Black Americans rejecting the Back-to-Africa option and opting instead for seeking equal rights in America." [17]
Ex-slave repatriation [edit]
Ex-slave repatriation or the immigration of African American, Caribbean, and Black British slaves to Africa occurred mainly during the late 18th century to mid 19th century. In the cases of Liberia and Sierra Leone both were established by former slaves who were repatriated to Africa within a 28 year period.
Liberia [edit]
The repatriation of African American slaves and freed persons to Africa was first advocated by the American Colonization Society (ACS) of which Thomas Buchanan (brother to future president James Buchanan) was a member. Other notable members of the American Colonization Society include Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Abraham Lincoln, James Madison, Daniel Webster, John Marshall, and Francis Scott Key.[18]
Sierra Leone [edit]
The first attempt by the British government to settle people in Sierra Leone in 1787 sent three hundred former slaves along with seventy prostitutes on the Sierra Leone peninsula in West Africa. Two years later most members of the settlement were killed off by disease and complications with the local Temne people. In 1792, a second attempt was made when 1,100 freed slaves established Freetown behind the British abolitionist Thomas Clarkson. Many of these inhabitants were unhappy with where they were resettled in Canada after the American Revolution and were eager to return to their homeland.
In 1820 the first freed slaves from the United States arrived in Sierra Leone. A minister by the name of Daniel Coker lead a group of ninety free blacks in hopes of founding a new colony in Sierra Leone. His aspirations were driven by spreading Christianity among the Africans. After leaving New York on a ship named the Elizabeth, his voyage ended on an island just off the coast of Sierra Leone. Arriving just before the rains of spring, the group of immigrants were soon stricken with fever. The survivors soon fled to Freetown, and the would be settlement disintegrated.
The American Colonization Society came under attack from American abolitionists, who insisted that the removal of the freed slaves from the United States strengthened the institution of slavery.
The repatriation of slaves to Africa from the United Kingdom, and its dependencies, was initiated by the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor, and was later on taken up by the Sierra Leone Company. In time, African American Black Loyalists and West Indians would immigrate to the colony of Freetown, Sierra Leone in smaller numbers in efforts led by black merchants or beneficiaries such as Paul Cuffe.

As I mentioned in the last post, the theme for this year's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is "Everyone Knows Someone"
What does this theme mean to you? Can you identify with this?
As I reflect on these words it occurs to me that we can extend this beyond just eating disorders. It propels me to think about the many ways we are all affected by the disordered images around us. We see unrealistic images of beauty everywhere we look. We are confronted with messages about diets, food and what we should or should not be eating. The disordered climate of our culture affects us all.
How do the images of "beauty" and our culture's emphasis on appearance affect you all?

Extended Deterrence, Compellence and the ''Old World Order''
This Note is the companion piece to earlier work, which described a methodology for analyzing and gaming opponent reasoning and reported on its employment during and after the recent conflict with Iraq. It examines four crises in which either British or U.S. interests were threatened, testing the key decisionmakers for the "limited rationality" and for the incrementalist or more goal-driven approach to risk taking. It also identifies the policy implications of these case studies at both the broad strategic and the crisis-specific levels, and evaluates the relative effectiveness of the military and economic tools of political coercion. The workhorse of British and U.S. policies has been the strategy of extended deterrence. The authors explore the disjunction between the theory and practice of extended deterrence in each of the cases they survey. Aside from the decisionmaking problems caused by time constraints and imperfect information, there are powerful general psychological influences — of which frustration and positive or negative feelings about one's current situation are the most important. Also, aggressors routinely underestimate the effects of their opponents' maritime capabilities for blockade, strategic lift, and bombardment, suggesting that a form of "analytic bias" is present. The policy implications are (1) U.S. decisionmakers and their staff organizations must habituate themselves to the practice of carrying along multiple models of opponent reasoning; and (2) in some cases, the United States must be prepared to give unambiguous political and military warning in the face of looming crisis, necessitating bilateral or multilateral treaties with friendly nations in areas of vital interest.

Posted: Dec 31, 2012 7:46 AM
NEWTOWN, Conn. - Parents and other family members of children and educators killed at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School have made one last visit to a memorial to the victims.
Police escorted the group on Friday to the massive memorial of candles, handwritten cards from around the world, stuffed animals and countless other expressions of grief and condolences.
The Hearst Connecticut Media Group reports that after the families left, a town crew began removing the snow-covered memorial.
On Saturday morning, 15 days after the shooting deaths, the mementos were gone.
The town has said biodegradable materials such as flowers will be composted into soil. Non-biodegradable materials will be ground up and combined with a cement slurry to make blocks for a future memorial.

Athletics News
Four Tartan Teams Finish First in CIF-SS Academic Awards
Posted April 30
This year's winners of the CIF Southern Section Academic Awards program have been announced. The team awards are based on a cumulative grade point average and are awarded in 22 different sports. Boy's and girl's lacrosse is excluded because it has less than 20 percent of the CIF-SS membership needed to be eligible as per Blue Book Article 3200.3 of the CIF-SS. To be considered, teams must have a combined minimum GPA of 3.0 or better on a scale of 4.0 in college prep courses in the first semester of the 2011-2012 school year. The highest team GPA in each sport determines the overall winner. Schools are divided into two enrollment categories, schools with an enrollment of 1499 and below and 1500 and above. The team with the highest GPA in each enrollment category for each sport is declared the winner. There were 1,323 entries submitted to the CIF this year. Last year we had our baseball team and girls' golf team finish in first place.
The Tartans this year have four teams that earned the prestigious honor of finishing in first place. The girls' basketball team with a 3.853 GPA , the girls' golf team with a 3.730 GPA , the girls' track and field team with a 3.744 GPA, and the wrestling team with a 3.625 GPA. In addition to finishing in first place, the Women's Southern California Golf Association (WSCGA) awards the top three schools a grant for their achievement and our girls' golf team will receive a $500.00 grant. Below is a list of all of our teams along with their GPA's and where they finished.

I went on vacation
to get away for a while
some time away for relaxation
some sun to make me smile.
And while basking in southern spring's glow
and the wonder of the sky's infinities
I thought of leaving home and snow
as relief from my town's liabilities.
But on a day when, in the past,
I'd bundled with fellow inhabitants,
to see a traditional spectacle
I received news that made no sense.
While usually wishing for these days to linger long
the sun did not warm my soul alone
while the Nation mourned Boston
Strong, I wished to be back home.

Yesterday I published my first blog by opening my new curtains. I made them myself, with all the pieces of scrap I could find. I cut up old skirts and old shirts, I cut up new fabric which was (and still is) due to become a new skirt or a new shirt. I even put in a piece that was once a curtain in Burundi, which became a handbag in Italy, which became a curtain again somewhere else in Europe. Now, that's what I call recycling.
Anyone who doesn't get seasick just by looking at my curtains (and I tell you, on these pictures they're not even moving), you can check out my blog: http://pharaildis.blogspot.com. It's not very catchy yet, but as I said, it's a work in progress.
All scraps you can find, at least 10 by 10 cm. Bigger squares would probably give a less psychedelic effect.
I used cheap white cotton for lining.
Editors' Pick
The style is cool and sporty beach wear that can be worn anywhere!
Pattern of the Week
This pencil skirt is perfect for everyday wear! We love it in floral.

Citroen's new C4 is now a car for grown-ups. Where the car it replaces is had enough quirks to mark ...
Motors value verdict:
More reviews
The Citroen C2 is a Supermini that was manufactured between 2003 and 2009 and it has several advanced features. It is relatively inexpensive and is a very popular choice as a first car.
The C2 is an excellent choice for a car that is used mainly for getting around town. It is easy to drive, easy to manoeuvre in tight situations and it is easy to park. Although it is primarily a city car, it is also fine in rural situation and on motorways.
There is a good choice of engines which include some frugal units which have fuel economies of almost 70 mpg along with more powerful ones more suited to out of town motoring. Perhaps it is not the most comfortable car over rough surfaces and there is very little space in the back for two adults, but for the price it is a good buy.
There are a surprising number of trim levels from which to choose; in fact there are five which range from the very basic L through to the high performing VTR. There is a good selection of equipment and many safety functions too.
The Citroen C2 is a great choice as a relatively cheap city car and is very popular with new motorists as a first car. There are thus many of them for sale across the UK from approved Citroen dealers, independent traders and private sellers. No matter where you are in the UK, Motors.co.uk could find a deal on a used Citroen C2 near you.
The top performing Citroen C2 is the VTS. This is essentially a hot hatch with a relatively modest engine that delivers 125 bhp but this is matched by a light weight chassis that gives a good overall power to weight ratio. The car can reach 62 mph from rest in just 8.3 seconds and there is a diesel version that has a fuel economy of 64 mpg.

13-14 September 1999 (M'babane, Swaziland)
1. The FAO Advisory Consultation on ACP Sugar Policy and Trade was held in Mbabane, Swaziland on 13-14 September 1999, and attended by 79 representatives from ACP governments, signatories of the Sugar Protocol (SP) and the Special Preferential Sugar Agreement (SPS), and from their sugar industries. A list of participants has been appended. The countries represented were Barbados, Belize, Côte dIvoire, Congo (Democratic Republic of), Fiji, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Swaziland, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The FAO team of experts included Messrs.

2. The objective of the Consultation was twofold: To provide a sound analytical base for complex sugar policy and trade issues, identifying options which would assist in formulating strategies aimed at maintaining and/or improving economic and social welfare gains of these countries; and With respect to forthcoming international trade negotiations, particularly the next round of World Trade Organization (WTO) multilateral negotiations, to develop a coherent negotiating strategy, appropriate ideas to minimize the adverse impact of trade liberalization on their countries and proposals to improve efficiency and productivity of the sugar sectors.
2. The objective of the Consultation was twofold:
3. The Consultation was opened by Mrs Victoria Sekitoleko, the FAO Sub-Regional Representative for Southern and Eastern Africa, on behalf of the Director-General of FAO, Mr Jacques Diouf. She considered it an honour that ACP members had requested FAO to organize the Consultation. She stated that the main purpose of the Consultation was to consider how possible forthcoming changes in the global trading framework might affect the sugar sector and how ACP sugar exporting countries might best deal with many consequential needs for adjustment.
4. The FAO Representative emphasized that the sugar sector was crucial for the social and economic development of the ACP sugar producing countries, which were with very few exceptions among the least-developed and net food-importing group of countries. The sugar industries played a major role in their economies, making a very significant contribution to the development of infrastructure in rural areas, to education, employment, and health and other services, as well as in the servicing of external debt. It was essential that current trading arrangements for ACP countries were not adversely affected without satisfactory compensatory arrangements which should include, inter alia, assistance towards improved competitiveness and where appropriate, product diversification.
5. The FAO Representative reiterated that FAO remained dedicated to supporting a fair and equitable trading system contributing to the improvement of employment opportunities and to increasing incomes of the rural poor. The Plan of Action of the World Food Summit committed FAO and other organizations to continue to assist developing countries on trade issues and in particular to help them prepare for future multilateral trade negotiations so that they might participate as well informed and equal partners in the negotiation process. One initiative had been the establishment of an Umbrella Programme for Training on Uruguay Round (UR) and Future Multilateral Negotiations on Agriculture. She invited the ACP countries to take advantage of this initiative.
