look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
22 Oz bomber dated 11/19/12 poured into a pub style glass.
A: Pours black into the glass, opaque. Thick layer of tan foam slowly recedes to a 1/4 inch head with lacing.
S: Hops aroma followed by dark fruits (dates, plums, raisins, figs) then dark roast malts.
T: Follows the smell but also has an alcohol aftertaste.
M: Full bodied. No sting from the carbonation. Smooth.
O: A very likeable imperial stout. A nice sipping stout that would go great with a winter night in front of the fireplace.

2013 - Craft Ale House, PA
ST-Draft for Goose tap takeover.
A-dark, stout, not much lacing, typical
S-Smell was sweet stout mixed with a strong chemical smell. It smelled like ground black pepper was poured on top.
T-followed the smell, good basic stout, but then some weird syrupy strong cough medicine taste and more black pepper.
M-apart from the taste it was smooth and creamy.
O-I had a sample luckily, not sure if I could have finished a whole bottle or full pint. I've been told the recipe has changed as they moved back to brew this again after some time off?!? InBev may have messed this brew up a bit. I have a 2011 bottle and I will compare that to this fresh tap version.

22oz bomber poured into chalice glass.
Bottle dated 11/19/12.
Appearance-pours black with a thin dark khaki head, very dark brew but not as dark as some. Dotted lacing left over after sips. 4
Aroma-the smell is very heavy on the dark fruits, Strong plum and rasian, also fig in there too. A good deal of chocolate is in hiding behind the fruit. Maybe a slight coffee, but its very slight. A very dark sweet smelling aroma. 4.25
Taste-like the smell, right off the bat you get the sweet dark fruits. They are a little different than most stouts, more hoppy than malty. Then the chocolate takes over nicely. Lots more chocolate in the taste then is in the aroma. This is a very sweet stout, one of the sweeter ones I've tried. 4.25
Feel-decent mouthfeel, not as thick as I would like but it gets the job done. ABV is very well hidden. I was shocked to learn its almost 12%. 4
Overall-this beer is so close to being outstanding. Throw in some strong roasted notes and this would be top 5 (stouts) for me. Without I'm afraid it's just a fruity dark sipper that I will have once maybe twice in a year. 4.25

Bottled 11/19/12. 11.5% ABV according to my bottle. 650ml brown glass bottle with standard unbranded black pressure cap acquired at a Binny's in Chicago on St. Paddy's day weekend. Served into a Mitchells of Lancaster flared stem-tulip in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Expectations are very high given the brewery and style.
Served chilled and allowed to come to room temperature over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a half finger dark tan colour head of no real cream, okay thickness, and bad (~1 minute) retention - though this is excusable given the high ABV. Body colour is a predictable solid dark black - not quite a jet black but very dark. Nontransparent and opaque. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Light lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes; it's not very sticky though. Standard fare for the style but nevertheless appealing. I've seen far better, even at higher ABVs.
Sm: Rich chocolate/cacao. Alcohol warmth. Dark malts. Light coffee - with a bit of pleasant roast. Rich licorice/anise. Caramel. Pleasant toasty character. Minimal light floral hops - not as much as expected; I think age has done this well. No yeast character is detectable. Light vanilla. If I didn't know better, I'd guess bourbon. Hints of decadent dark fruit. An above average to mild strength aroma. Not horribly complex for the style, but there's some subtlety to the aroma. I'm looking forward to trying it, but the licorice has me concerned. I expected more hoppiness, but I'm glad that's not prominent.
T: Rich dark malts form the body. Some chocolate and caramel malts. Sweet vanilla. Light toasted character - it needs more. It also needs a hell of a lot more roast; there's hardly any here. It comes off quite sweet - especially in the third act and on the finish. Sticky dark fruits. Lightly vinous licorice; luckily this note is pretty restrained. Candied, sticky, and sweet. Not a great flavour profile for the style, but it will be to the tastes of many. Floral hop character is more prominent than usual for the style, but not to its detriment. The sticky sweetness and candied licorice are much larger issues, severely reducing drinkability. Full bodied and assertive. I can't emphasize enough that the sticky sweetness is really holding this back. Otherwise, it's fairly complex and somewhat subtle. No yeast character comes through. Alcohol heat is present but light enough to add character.
Mf: Smooth and sweet. Sticky, syrupy, and thick. Too viscous. Pretty good carbonation. Okay presence on the palate. Very filling and full bodied. A bit overbearing.
Dr: It hides its ABV alright, but it's not very drinkable. Definitely more of a sipper. I wish it came in a smaller bottle; this will take me some time to finish and I'm sure midway through the sticky sweetness will really aggravate me. This one definitely has its flaws, but it's not a bad beer for the style. I'd like to try it with a good three years on it; if this is what it tastes like at five months old; it needs serious time. For my money, Goose Island makes far better imperial stouts. I wouldn't get this one again unless it was aged or the only good option at a bar. Interesting, but it isn't doing it for me.

Bottled 11/19/2012
Beer is pitch black with a very small tan head.
Nose is full of roast malt, dark chocolate and caramel. Some anise and vanilla. Also a good hop presence, but muscled out by the malts. Big and captivating.
Taste is like the nose and also very good. Big roast flavours, chocolate, black licorice and some caramel. Hops are quite strong, perhaps a slight citrus flavour but that is not strongly made out against the malts. Certainly the hops contribute a nice bitterness. The aftertaste is strongly of anise- a bit too much, which detracts a bit from the otherwise excellent flavour.
Full bodied, strongly carbonated, almost fizzy. Great body but would be better if the bubbles were toned down.
Overall, very good. If the anise aftertaste and carbonation calmed down, this would be really terrific.

A: Pours a pitch black in color with about a finger of tan head at the top, there was a bit of lacing around the glass.
S: The nose is filled with licorice and chocolate, a bit of bourbon as well, some roasted malts and slight hints of coffee.
T: The taste of this one is a bit of roast and and some bitterness, a strong alcohol taste but nothing to crazy, the taste was a bit bland on the tail end.
M: A full to Medium body with a slight hint of carbonation, not to sticky, I was definitely expecting it.
O: Not a bad beer at all, I was expecting a bit more from it but it was thoroughly happy with it.

Poured from a bomber into a tulip, the beer is almost completely black, with a thick look on the pour and a dense, foamy, light tan head that slowly settles into an uneven surface coating. Aromas of booze, dark cherry and fig sweetness, molasses, and a touch of earth and wood. Roasted notes on the nose, too. Flavors are rich and darkly sweet, with molasses first and foremost, hints of earth and old world fruit, and a touch of roast at the end. Earthy tones help take the cloying off the sweet body, and there is a touch of bitterness that brings balance to the brew. A deep, slow building warmth starts from the booze. The beer is bold and smooth in mouth, with a smooth, clean finish. Aftertaste is heavy and lingering, with subtle molasses and fruit sweet. Heavy hitter, but very good.

Is it fair to call this beer bourbon county light? Im going to go ahead and say yes. It pours dark and oily and smells like sweet chocolate and rich dark fruits. I didnt like the carbonatiom at first so i let it sit and the mellow mouth feel adds to its depth and complexity. Its smooth and syrupy and exactly what i like in an imperial stout. Its a little sweet for you masochists but overall a great beer at a great price.

I just don't care who owns these GI stouts, they are so frickin' awesome. I am a kid at heard (but luckily legally able to drink), so I enjoyed watching the falling out of the hard pour into a shaker. What was even more fun, especially for my wife, was how the foam, just perfectly cresting the glass by a tiny amount, looks like a sugar cookie sitting on top of the glass. With a whiff, there was a pretty noticeable hop presence, but of course not like an IPA. There was also a very strong sweetness that just billowed out of the glass. Taking a big gulp, you get a really, really malty kick, with only a touch of roasted-ness to it. It really had a delicious flavor, and the hop smell that was so strong was only partly present on the tongue. It's hard to believe that this much flavor isn't from barrel-aging, especially with how long the malts linger in your mouth. With a high ABV, it should be a long-sipping beer, but the flavor and silky-smooth texture had me pounding this thing. Awesome.

Pours an opaque deep brown with a half inch frothy mocha head that slowly dissipates, leaving sheets of lacing.
Citrus, resin, pine, and acetone form the initial aroma. Underpinnings of chocolate and brown sugar sweetness combine well with subtle roast malt.
Flavor reveals more acetone, along with grapefruit and lightly roasted malt and a fairly sweet chocolatey backbone that lingers into the finish. Tastes almost soured, but not in a good way. Dates, figs, and hints of raisins surface late.
Body is thick, syrupy, smooth, rich, and absolutely luscious, with minimal carbonation and substantial alcohol warmth.
The acetone character is offputting. Malt is sweeter than expected, and more chocolate than roast. Wish that acetone character weren't present. Not sure if it's an unfortunate combo of malt and hop character for my palate or if it truly has an issue. Still, great malt flavor and mouthfeel.

This pours a very dark brown/black color with a frothy, light brown head. The aroma isn't too bold, just hints of sweetness that seem a little chalky. There is a very complex taste but I was picking out hints of raisin, plum, and prunes, burnt oak with slight hints of vanilla. This is very big and bold which made for a good hour long sipping beer. The finish was kind of sweet and left behind a chalky texture. A very good beer, but I was left wanting a little more given the Goose Island name.

It pours out really dark with a decent mocha head.
The aroma is of coffee, bitter chocolate, and some hop.
The flavor is big roasted malt, really huge creamy espresso, and bitter, bitter chocolate. The hoppiness helps cut through from the big thick flavors.
It's a well balanced beer. It's a great sipper. The finish is nice and easy. It reminds me a lot of BCBS, but just toned down and creamy. Love it.

22oz bomber poured into a Great Lakes Christmas Ale snifter
AP: deep black, looks like motor oil, light 1/4" tan head that dissipates
AR: black strap molasses, dark chocolate, rum soaked dark fruits and black bread
T: all of the above I detected in the aroma plus the addition of a toffee stickiness and a hint of vanilla cappuccino at the end with a faint brush of Earthy hops
M: creamy and silky yet chewy, low carbonation the way I like my Imperial Stouts
OV: very tasty, balanced and well rounded and the alcohol is pretty well hidden, though you do get it in the aroma and a bit at the first taste, but the flavours are too much and drown it out making this an excellent sipper.

A - can you believe this pours really black?!?
S - big malts, dark evil fruit aromas, like raisins or dates or plums, some bourbon like aromas with vanilla/oakiness, makes me wonder if thisis barrel aged at least for a little while.
T - the malts are impossibly big, some chocolate and coffee, but the dark fruits steal the show. The bourbon/vanilla/oak flavors are lurking in the background.
M&D&O - complex and layered, big on flavor and it kicks ass. It cant hide the 11.5%. Not an everyday beer. What a powerful flavor, well done GI!

Bottled on 2/6/11 and reviewed on 3/25/13. Poured from a bottle into a Great Lakes snifter. The pour is very dark, not too viscous with very little head. The nose has hints of molasses and dark fruits.
The beer has a full body and a slick, oily feel. I get a lot of molasses and brown sugar up front. As the beer oozes across the palate, some notes of oak and toasted malt develop into a hint of clove. The hops seem long gone at this point and leave only this bit of spice behind. The alcohol is also quite tame given the high abv. Time has smoothed out the bitterness and blended the flavors quite nicely, leaving only a warming liquorice note on the finish.
First time I've had this beer since I tried it fresh 2 years ago. Sadly, I neglected to take good tasting notes at the time, but I do remember it being much more bitter and full of more typical roasty Russian Imperial Stout flavors. It's a very different animal now.

Goose Island Night Stalker
Thanks to Ncketchum for bottle. Poured into a CBS snifter. Served lightly chilled.
A) This was dark brown with a nice fluffy finger of tan head. Nice retention, and decent lacing too. A rather attractive beer.
S) A fair amount of roast. Definitely some coffee and strong citrus aroma. Hint of chocolate. This is like a Mocha Valencia. Not sure if this is how it's supposed to smell, but I rather like it.
T) The initial flavor is very much like the nose, but then this beer takes a wrong turn somewhere near Albuquerque. What I'm about to say is going to seem strange. Well, it seems very strange to me. The taste was like Jelly Belly popcorn flavored jellybeans. I hate that flavor. What the hell is going on here?
M) Medium bodied, with a fairly rich feel. Light carbonation and rather smooth. This was a mouth coater.
O) I glanced at a thread here on Beer Advocate a few months back questioning the potential for some infected bottles of Night Stalker. This bottle has to be under suspicion. I didn't strongly dislike this beer, in fact there were aspects I rather enjoyed, but the flavor was definitely off. Will need to revisit in order to confirm.

Had this some time ago... maybe a couple years ago and remembered loving it. When I saw a bottle I did not even resist buying it up.
Definitely matches up with what I remember.
-Deep black/brown, with very small bubble, milk chocolate color head. Not even really a head... more like a comb-over dissipates quickly.
-Smells awesome, you can tell it will be a sweeter stout. Has a nice sweet coffee and dark chocolate scent with maybe some raisins, malt, a little smokey earthiness, and definitely booze.
-Upfront sweetness, the nose adds up with the dark chocolate and coffee. Peels away into some serious roast, charred earthy notes, surprisingly woody even though I do not believe this is oak aged or aged on anything. I like this woody, haunting, cabin smoke character to it. Not like rauch smoke... but like this charred, grimy dirty wood taste. I can't explain but it is good. A little raisin and dark fruit. Booze comes in prominent as the sweetness drops down into the bitter hops and piny, herbal notes that are reminiscent of black licorice... and not sweet black licorice either. It begins sweet but ends on a nice subtle bitter and dry side that lingers a while.
The mouthfeel is just a tad thinner than I would like. In a way it is nice but in a way I would like a bit more meat on the bone. Just a bit. And with that... a bit more dryness... just a bit.
Warming... yes. And a nice warm, NOT a heartburn warm. Just subtle and smooth.
Overall the comments on the mouthfeel are my only complaints... and pretty small complaints at that. No one can deny that this is a very good, very tasty imperial stout that is worth... the what, $10-$11? Yeah... no problem. It's great on a snowy night, it's great with a friend or two or even alone when you have a full evening of just taking life easy. Very satisfy. I will be buying this again in years to come.
My last comment is pay close attention to the label where it says to drink within 180 days of bottling date. The first one I had was past, and though still good I certainly remember it not being quite as bitter hoppy, which struck out some of the complexity. Fresh is best with this. And luckily they offer it during the right season.

22oz bottle served into a Snifter. Thanks to match1112 for this guy. Bottled on 3/6/10, consumed just over three years later. Pours a dark black hue with a one finger khaki head. The first thing that comes across on the nose is dark fruit and light bourbon, along with chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts, and some hop character. The taste is pretty incredible at this stage: Developed dark fruits and caramel mixed with a bold dark chocolate flavor. This has a nice charcoal/wood complexity to it as well. It's followed by a light bitter flavor and a lasting malt finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, sticky, heavy bodied, with light carbonation. Night Stalker is a very satisfying stout, and it's not too over the top or boozy. Good stuff Brett Porter! ; )

Whoaaaa, this is unique! Bottled 11/19/12 (1525). The bottle and GI's website say to enjoy within 180 days, which I miscalculated as this beer being fresh until 2/19/13. Well, although my math is terrible, this beer seems to be in its prime until 5/19/13! ABV is 11.5% on the label.
A: Super thick, viscous, dark brown/black. If you pour it slowly and with the intention of building a head, a frothy, creamy, pillowy, light brown substance forms and jiggles like jello. Great lace and decent retention.
S: Very roasty with a slight hop presence with a long sniff. Woody, earthy, unique. Slight BBQ sauce or soy sauce aroma if you dig deep. Sweet, malty, roasty.
T: Heavy coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, caramelized sugar, cacao nibs. Some serious, real chocolate in this beer. Ain't no Hershey's chocolate in this brew. Surprisingly spiced and a little bit of heat in the finish. Slightly boozy but it complements the flavors and body. It sneaks up on you...a full bomber puts you in another state of mind. Very woody and earthy. Sweetness is never overpowering. Hops aren't as strong as I expected but this isn't an American Black Ale or Black IPA. It's an Imperial Stout with a heavy dose of hops, so it's definitely unique. The hop oils give it unique qualities.
M: Pretty darn smooth. Great body for the style. Tons of chocolate flavor. Like, straight off the cacao tree.
O: The hops really transform this IS into a beer that I've never experienced before. Strange at first but it grows on you. Let it warm up. Pretty sweet, slightly spicy, very chocolaty, boozy, and complex. Would I drink again? Probably. Just to see if the flavor is different.

This is a re-review, having had it on tap at Kelly's in Chicago.
This beer is completely different than the one I had a few months ago in a bottle...no resemblance whatsoever. None. And much better.
Smell is decidedly herbal, but not overwhelming or terribly noticeable. Just average, not amazing but ok.
Taste is herbal and somewhat hoppy, with hints of coffee and chocolate. Not bad at all, no resemblance to what I had in a bottle. It's a little flat though.
Feel is smooth and creamy. Very nice feel.
Overall I'm glad I had a chance to try Night Stalker again, and experience it or what it really is. It's unique, unlike most stouts I've ever had. Cheers.
11/19/2012 1633, bottle date and time stamp. Definitely from the bad batch.
Appearance is all well and good: pours pitch black with a foamy mocha head, light lacing.
Smell is super funky. Having a hard time making out any of the hops that are supposed to be in here. Harder still to interpret what's behind it. It literally smells "bad."
Taste is even worse. Super funky, sour and hoppy at the same time, but tastes like it has gone bad, even though I know that is not the case, just something terribly wrong with the batch.
Mouthfeel is pretty weak as well, not sure if it's because the taste is so poor, or what. Certainly nothing as even close to as enjoyable as BCBS, in any way, shape, or form.
Overall, I feel bad reviewing this beer without getting a chance to have a sample from a successful batch. I am not terribly angry, just disappointed.

I heard this was an infected batch, so I didn't want to wait on this too much longer:
Into a nonic:
A: dark brown/black body with a one finger tan head gently recedes leaving some thick clingy foamy lacing in rings
S: deep milk chocolate powering above everything else initially, but after a bit of warming, light hops and coffee come out
T: super sweet through the deep milk chocolate again, no worries, still very good, coffee and hops more subdued than the smell
M: light to medium, more sessionable than most Double Stouts, ABV not felt, sticky sweet aftertaste and finish
O: well, I'm glad its not infected like I read about, and even more happy that I opened it because this was very good though the mouthfeel probably could be "beefed" up a bit more, no worries, this is still solid and would make an excellent dessert beer as the chocolate comes out way more than most Double Stouts I've had

Had it twice: 1st time on tap at Tommy Nevin's Frankfort on 3/2/13 and the 2nd time on 3/28/13 from a bomber (bottled 11/19/12 #1321).
Pour - Dark, oily, and pitch black with very little head.
Nose - Dark fruits, bitter hops, orange peel, and a bit of roast. Almost like a chocolate covered orange. There is that umami soy saucy savory flavor too, like in Stone RIS or Weyerbacher Old Heathen. It's rich, savory, and roasty.
Taste - The umami flavor is here too, coming through with a savory, rich, roasty, soy sauciness. The taste is odd but I like it a lot. Lots of hop bitterness on top of a subtle roastyness. Along with the hops is a bit of citrus that is like orange peel mixed with a cherry sweetness. Tons of overlapping complexity and notes of both bitter and sweet. I can see why people say it's infected, but I really do not think it is. There is this bitter, sour, funky quality to it, but it is enjoyable. It would be a shock though if you weren't expecting it.
Mouth - Oily and on the thick side of medium. Definitely fits this brew.
Overall- I really enjoyed this brew. It was very different and unique, and it was put together well. It did not taste wrong or infected to me. I think the dry hopping mixed with the roasted flavors of the base stout creates both that soy sauciness and the funky/sour notes. I have had this twice, once on tap and once from a bomber, and it tasted the same - actually more complex and balanced from the bottle.

a nice thick black pour with a finger of tan head, great retention. smells of grassy hops, chocolate, caramel, coffee. a very sweet, roasty and hoppy delight. this seems like the base recipe for bcbs honestly, slightly smoked flavor with lots of coffee and chocolate. full body, low carbonation, very rich and creamy.
this is honestly a delicious beer. i've heard mixed reviews about it being too hoppy, infected, etc. but none have just been forward and said it's a great stout, which it is. sweet, but not too sweet. hoppy, but not overwhelming like beer hop breakfast was. high on the abv, but not noticeable.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is a big football fan with two daughters, but if he had a son, he says he'd "have to think long and hard" before letting him play because of the physical toll the game takes.
"I think that those of us who love the sport are going to have to wrestle with the fact that it will probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence," Obama tells The New Republic.
"In some cases, that may make it a little bit less exciting, but it will be a whole lot better for the players, and those of us who are fans maybe won't have to examine our consciences quite as much."
In an interview in the magazine's Feb. 11 issue, Obama said he worries more about college players than he does about those in the NFL.
"The NFL players have a union, they're grown men, they can make some of these decisions on their own, and most of them are well-compensated for the violence they do to their bodies," Obama said. "You read some of these stories about college players who undergo some of these same problems with concussions and so forth and then have nothing to fall back on. That's something that I'd like to see the NCAA think about."

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Colorado is preparing to expand health assistance for low-income adults, and Democrats have turned away the first attempt to put curbs on that expansion.
The Senate Education Committee decided on a party-line 5-4 vote Thursday to reject a Republican bill to require Colorado to make K-12 education a higher priority than Medicaid expansion.
Republican Sen. David Balmer of Centennial suggested the bill to require than no education funds be cut as Colorado expands Medicaid to cover more needy adults.
Colorado is planning to implement the expansion as part of the federal health care overhaul. Some Republicans say Colorado may not be able to afford the expansion.
Democrats on the Education Committee said that Colorado won't have to choose between health care and education.

Is Taco B.M. Monster. Of course it's Taco B.M. Monster.
What were we thinking those scant 13 months ago when we gave Taco B.M. Monster a No. 2 seed? Did we actually believe the Dutch pharmacoepidemiologist bore an inferior name to any of the No. 1's—Monquarius Mungo (a pale imitation of 2009 NOTY Barkevious Mingo), Atticus Disney, stonegarden grindlife or La'Peaches Pitts? Did we?
Did we honestly not foresee that the author of "Oral Contraceptive Use and Hormone Replacement Therapy Are Associated With Microalbuminuria" would be Amsterdammed if he didn't don a clog and stomp the opposition into submission?
We did not. But then we always, foolishly, underestimate the power of a well-placed scatological onomastic reference. And a taco. And a monster. Especially when juxtaposed.
Let's recap. Dr. Monster ran roughshod over the field. Down went Florida murder victim Commie Spead. Then it was retired Lutheran preacher the Rev. Demon Sox. If ever we thought Taco B.M. Monster would be threatened, it was in a Wrestlemania-style Sweet 16 throwdown against wine merchant Monsterville Horton IV. Not even a speed bump. Elite 8: girlfriend attacker Vernon Lee Bad Marriage. Final Four: Neptune Pringle III.
And, finally, the final, a Nixonian 61-39 rout of Florida teen and fellow No. 2 seed Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson.
Welcome to the Hall of Champions, Taco B.M. Monster. Your fellow names stand and applaud.
(NOTY 2012 will commence soon. Or pretty soon. Soon-ish.)

Health Information
Feeling Depressed
Home Treatment
If you are thinking about suicide, talk to someone about your feelings, such as your health professional or a close friend or family member you trust. Don't wait. If you are not able to talk with your health professional immediately, call your local suicide hotline or this suicide hotline (Canada and U.S.): 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK or 1-800-273-8255.
Positive actions and feelings can help lift your spirits. Although thinking positively may be very difficult when you are feeling depressed, try to consider the positive side of situations and events in your life.
Appreciate any moments when you have positive thoughts. The following tips may help.
- Practice positive thinking. Make statements that promote good thoughts. Replace negative self-talk with positive comments.
- Take action to put more fun into your life:
- Exercise. Running, brisk walking, and other forms of aerobic exercise improve symptoms of mild to moderate depression.
- Work in the garden or play with a pet. Plants and pets can be very therapeutic. When you pet an animal, your blood pressure goes down and your heart rate slows. Filling the needs of animals and plants can help you feel useful.
- Visit a friend. Spending time with a good friend may help you forget about your problems for a while and help you see the brighter side of life.
- Have a massage or a manicure, or get your hair cut.
- Rearrange your furniture.
- Talk with your health professional about
nonprescription medicines, such as
Reference St. John's wort Opens New Window or
Reference SAM-e.
- Talk to your health professional or pharmacist before taking St. John's wort if you are taking any other medicines. St. John's wort may change the way other medicines work. In some cases, it may decrease how well medicines work. In other cases, it may make medicines poisonous.
- Do not use alcohol or other mood-altering drugs while you are taking a nonprescription medicine.
- Follow the directions on the label. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- If you are or could be pregnant, talk with your health professional before taking any medicine or supplement.
- For more information on dietary supplements, visit the website of the Office of Dietary Supplements, within the National Institutes of Health, at http://ods.od.nih.gov/index.aspx.
- Take a class or go to a free lecture at the public library or local hospital.
- Take a vacation. Sometimes just getting away for the afternoon will brighten your mood.
- Go to the movies or rent a funny movie.
- If nothing feels fun, try doing something that you used to enjoy.
Symptoms to watch for during home treatment
Reference Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:
- You feel sad, lonely, or unhappy for weeks.
- Your symptoms become more severe or frequent.
- You are not getting better as expected after starting treatment for depression.
For a friend or loved one
If you think a friend or loved one is depressed, you may feel helpless. But you still may want to do something to help.

- Depression: Supporting Someone Who Is Depressed.

Hey all,
I am working on an update for the present stock Mooney in P3D. I had talked with John Nicols on this before he had left.
The Mooney will be updated to the newest Ovation 3 model version thats presently out on the market and will have a more realistic panel and scaled parts. I might be reusing some parts, like the landing gear, but for one, the fuselage and cabin are being rebuilt.
This should then be a more pro 'flagship' for the great Lockheed Martin.

Does your home look boring? If so, a little gardening may be just what the doctor ordered. A little hardscapes can go a long way for an old home, turning it into a beautiful visual masterpiece. Continue on with this article to learn what you can about landscaping design.
Orange TKO OTKO Visit with The Invisible Gardener organicdatabank.info
More Resources To Assist: Finally You Can Make Your Garden Grow Better Than Ever
Take into consideration your existing structures when planning and implementing your landscaping project. Always take into consideration the location of various hazards in your landscape. These can include AC units, cables, sprinkler systems and even gutters. Do not impede these areas in your design. Notify the county or city you live in before digging so you can be sure not to destroy underground lines.
There is more to landscaping design than just planting grass and trees. You can add visual interest by including structures of iron, cement, will wood. Pergolas, archways and water features create visually striking elements in any landscape design. There are many different elements such as these that will fit your budget.
If any large plants are part of your design plan, remember that they are likely to cast a shadow. These shadows can serve as a natural protection against the heat of summertime. Be certain not to put small specimens in the shadowy space.
Don't always choose the most expensive landscaping design products. For supplies such as containers and popular perennials, there isn't a big difference between the economy version and the expensive version. It is important to look your plants over well though. Cut rate plant sellers may not have taken good care of the plants before selling them to you.
Talk to a licensed landscaper before you do any work to your own yard. While it won't be necessary to have them perform all the work, you can use their experience and knowledge to get the look you want. Their advice can be priceless, especially if you are new to hardscapes and gardening.
Depending on the item you can go ahead and purchase the cheapest one. Products such as mulch, planting containers, and many perennials have cheaper versions that are the same as the higher priced items. Although, it is very important to look the plants over before you purchase them. Plants that are sold cheap may not have been given the proper care that they require.
Any form of landscaping, whether it's simply adding a few shrubs and flowers, or giving your garden a complete makeover, will greatly improve the look of your home. You just need to get it right to be the envy of your neighbors. Use the tips you have just discovered to get started on your hardscapes project today!

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Beaucastel 2010 is a blend of four estate-grown varietals, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. The wine is based on the dark red fruit, earth, spice and mid-palate richness of Mourvèdre, with additions of Grenache for forward fruit, approachability and lushness, Syrah for mineral, aromatics, and back-palate tannins, and Counoise for brambly spice and acidity.
The 2010 vintage saw healthy rainfall after three years of drought. The ample early-season groundwater and a lack of spring frosts produced a good fruit set. A very cool summer delayed ripening by roughly three weeks, with harvest not beginning until mid-September and still less than half complete in mid-October. Warm, sunny weather between mid-October and mid-November allowed the later-ripening varieties to reach full maturity. The long hangtime and cool temperatures combined to produce fruit with intense flavors and dark color at low alcohol levels. Syrah was harvested between September 28th and October 13th, followed by Grenache between October 4th and November 13th, Counoise between October 17th and November 6th, and Mourvèdre between October 4th and November 18th.
The grapes for our Esprit de Beaucastel were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The grapes were fermented using native yeasts in open and closed stainless steel fermenters. After pressing, the wines were moved into barrel, blended, and aged in 1200-gallon French oak foudres before being bottled in July 2012.
The 2010 Esprit de Beaucastel shows Mourvedre's signature currant, balsamic, black tea and roasted meat aromas, given lift by a brighter raspberry note and notable minerality. The mouth is richer than the nose suggests, with plum, blueberry, pepper steak and dark chocoloate notes. Well-mannered tannins keep order without blocking or weighing down the wine. This is an Esprit that will provide pleasure now, but which should also age gracefully for two decades.
[...more recent Tablas Creek press]
Join us for the Paso Robles Wine Community's biggest celebration! We'll pour Esprit de Beaucastel at Friday's Reserve Event and a range of new releases at Saturday's Grand Tasting. And all weekend we'll have special wines open at the winery and will be taking tours to visit our herd of sheep, alpacas and donkeys. Sunday 11am to 1:30pm enjoy Chef Jacob Lovejoy's small plates, free with a tasting. Details & more events »
In May, we're featuring our 2011 Cotes de Tablas Blanc at a 10% discount. In 2011, our Viognier crop was cut by 80% due to spring frost, leaving a tiny, intense yield of less than one-half a ton per acre. The resulting wine is rich and tropical, with stone fruits and honey, but at the same time firmly dry, with a very long, saline & mineral finish. Details »
May 15, 2013
Take a look at the seven-line entry of Frank Schoonmaker, America's foremost wine expert and author in 1964, about terroir. His association, rather than the "somewhereness" the wine exhibits, is more of a taste of dirt, neither elegant nor elevated: "somewhat unpleasant, common, persistent". My, how things have changed.

The balls give a great lift to both the up-'n'-down and the "around" motions. And it's designed with siblings in mind: just by moving a pin, you can offset unequal weights so different-size kids can still be in balance. For ages 4-8; up to 75 lbs. per seat. Adult assembly required. Sorry, gift wrap not available. Size Approx. 77" long x 22" high.

About Me Step Grandparent
The Kids really enjoyed this gift.It was fairly easy to put together. I liked that when siblings rode together you can distrupt the weight to be equal. Christmas day they went round & round for hours & hours! I was getting dizzy just watching them. I did enjoy the hours & hours of laughter. I also liked the fact that they could play with it inside & not have to wait for warmer weather! Don't know what I'm going to do next yr to top this one! Maybe a pony!!

Spiro Hop Is Tons Of Fun
By Mom of 3
from Texas
About Me Parent, Thrifty
My 3 kids love the Spiro Hop. The only problem we have is the 3rd kid who has to wait his turn. It is a great way for them to burn off extra energy. It's really easy to move it from outside to inside so it can be used in any weather.I have a video of my kids posted on youtube. It's called Spiro Hop Screamers. It's pretty funny and will give you an idea of what you can expect with the Spiro Hop.[@]

Get outside and move!
By Na

About Me Education Oriented
I bought this for my two granddaughters who have a huge back yard. The girls are three years apart, so it is not always easy to get one thing that they can both use. This fits the bill, and it is so easy to re-adjust if a friend who is the same size comes over.The fact that it has a ball to cushion the down movement is genius. Good to get outside and move!

Yes! I think this is a positive change.
No! I like things how they are.
The only way to fix the concede vote is to remove it from the game. That way people can stop *****ing about getting ganked once at level 3 (or whatever other stupid reason they can find to throw a tantrum) and concentrate on actually trying to play as best they can.
Good to know how highly your own character
Considering I am one of the people that have to deal with this type of griefing a fair amount, I am happy about this.

Also place a much longer cooldown on cc vote. Too much spamming that's ruining the gameplay.
Make votes anonymous

I'd still kind of like to see the time to start a concede vote increased... increase time for 5/5 concede to 18-20 minute range, even keep the 4/5 concede to 22-25 range. If only because, I rarely if ever concede before the 20 minute mark anyways. Not to hold the team hostage, but because almost regardless of kills, I base when I concede on how far pushed we are, which really is a more accurate display of how much you are 'losing' at that point...
Also +1 for anonymous votes.
Umbron: "My face and my palm connected with such palpable force that the only thing preventing the resulting shock-wave from annihilating the planet was the deep sigh which followed."
Especially in the 1400 to 1600 bracket this has always been an issue, me currently having different account from 1490 to 1630 have faced several teams that basicly destroyed out game while one of our team members (most of the time an hero with a decent amount of burst damage to last hit an hero) that has a positive K score will not concede because he can gain more kills in the same way he has done before, Then again this happened the other way around to.
Anyway the point is, in these brackets there is a very big chance to get stomped and you want to leave the game as soon as possible since it is nowhere near fun anymore, therefor I support this change.
i would change 2 things that i see wrong.
1- 15min 5/5: after playing DOTA2 (no need to rage plz) i've played a lot of games where some player has a terrible starting game, but then he catches up and we got a cool game. I think that 22min 4/5 is great, but i think that 15 5/5 should be completly removed. A few ganks gone wrong cant really tell if you are going to lose a game, but the feeling of failing, and the eternal "you suck cc15" argument is not good if rage makes you cc15.
2- Anonymous votes, plz, no need to point out that guy who's not ccing cause he got a hardcarry and cool farm, but he will get kicked if he doesnt cc.
So, anonymous and no cc15 would make an amazing game experience imo.
GG S2 cc 7 :P
"Greenman101, spittin opinions like they're facts since '11 yo" -ZipperBear 2013
I can't really comment on the casual change as i never play casual, but about the normal mode change i don't know. Yes it's annoying when someone refuses to concede just because he's mad and holds everyone in the game when noone is enjoying it. On the other hand, lots of people give up way too fast, and many times i've seen (or been part of) teams that wanted to concede very early, but one guy didn't pass it and this team ended up winning.
Also, it happens a lot that people fail their lane, don't like their hero or feed bloodlust and then start throwing the game, crying for a 15mins concede. Everyone has been in this situation : you win mid, both lanes lose, get mad and start throwing waiting for a concede. In this case i usually refuse to concede too early, not to get back at them, but just because it's not lost : " Stop crying, get some wards up, group up and try to make something happen. If we fail we can concede, but don't give up before even trying."
And there's also these teams picking 3-4 carries against a gank/push team and trying to concede at 15 mins because they'Re slightly behind....
Anyways, there's no easy solution but i think 22mins for 4/5 is a bit fast, i would be more in favor of something like 25-26 if you really want to bring it down.
No this is a bad change.
All the whiners from casual mode will CC after 7 minutes because they died once or twice, causing players that actually perform well to lose before the game even takes off properly. In addition, these 'whiners' will never learn how to play properly because they'll just concede immediately --> if for example only 3/5 vote to concede, then these 3 players will start whining and griefing from minute 7, ruining the game on an even larger scale than they do now.
The change in normal mode is also very bad. Because I have won numerous times where the game seemed lost around 20 minutes, but in the next 10 minutes one player managed to turn the loss arround and take the upper hand. The people who gave up arround minute 20 now realise that they still have a shot to win and will no longer concede at minute 30. Whereas, with your newly suggested system this won't happen because they can 4/5 concede at minute 22.
By the way, why aren't we allowed to see the poll results?? It's not like some one will manipulate this poll to gain benefit out of it and I'm very interested to see the vote balance.
Yes, lets end games that aren't going your way even earlier so you learn even less from your mistakes.

If this change were to be implemented it`d be the final straw and I`d uninstall without question. Every game where one team has an advantage the majority of people want to give up. I "hold them hostage" because the game is not even close to over even though we just lost a teamfight where everyone went in one at a time. I will get so mad when every game gets cut off short. How about after 22 minutes the players have a right to leave because I clicked the play button so that I could play the game not concede constantly until I have the opportunity to stomp someone else into a 15/7 minute submission.
making votes anonymous for normal mode sounds like a good idea.

Little Girl Bubble DressBy: Jessica for Me Sew Crazy When Spring rolls around you'll want to have adorable outfits for your little girl. The Little Girl Bubble Dress by Jessica Gerblick is perfect for family gatherings or picnics. Let this free sewing tutorial show you how to make a dress they'll love to wear. Materials:
Let's Get Cutting: Cut (1) of your Length x 44" W fabric. For the Width, I simply cut a long strip, as we will be gathering the waist around the top of the dress...mine happens to be 36"W x 22" Long. Let's Get Sewing: Sew a line of gathering stitches along the top edge of the skirt, and another line of gathering stitches approx. 2" beneath that row. Gather the top line of stitches until the skirt is the same width around as the shirt. With fabric wrong side out, slip around shirt upside down with skirt seam in the back center, and with right sides together, pin to shirt. Sew. See Photo: It helps to use zig zag stitches when sewing cotton to knit for a little extra stretchy room.
The top of your skirt is now in place. To turn this into a bubble skirt, we will now be doing the following... Sew a line of gathering stitches along the bottom edge of the skirt. Now lift the entire skirt up towards the neckline, so that the bottom of the shirt is showing. Take the bottom skirt hem and pin to the shirt. This will result in enclosing the raw gathered edges of the hem. (You can alter your skirt length here by determining where you pin the bottom of the skirt to the shirt.)

MARIETTA, Ga. – The University of Pikeville bowling teams continued their solid pace this weekend as they competed in the Brunswick Southern Open.
The UPIKE women finished third in a field of 18 teams, four of which are Top 10 programs, while the men were fourth out of 22 teams.
In the women's draw, McKendree (Ill.) won the title, with Webber International (Fla.) finishing second. Pikeville was followed by Lindenwood (Mo.).
Three Bears made the all-tournament team, finishing in the top five among individual competitors. Junior Christina Halen was second with an average of 200.1, while sophomore Astrid Valiente was third with an average of 194. Senior Brandy Hensley finished fifth with a 189 average.
On the men's side, the champion was Lindenwood, followed by Webber International, Florida State and the Bears.
Sophomore Lucas Hohnstein of Boise, Idaho, was ninth in a crowded field of individuals with an average of 202. Teammate Fidel Marchena, a senior from the Dominican Republic, was 11th overall and averaged 199.
The teams will be back in action this weekend when they travel to participate in the Raider Classic. While the men compete in Dayton, Ohio, the women will be in Kettering, Ohio, for the same event.

Michigan's Big Ten title hopes probably ended after it blew a 15-point lead in the second half and lost at last-place Penn State on Wednesday. The fourth-ranked Wolverines should be an angry, focused group when they return home to face rival Michigan State on Sunday afternoon. Michigan can still be a major factor in the conference and NCAA tournaments, but must find answers after losing four of its last seven. The Wolverines are certainly comfortable at home, where they are 16-0 overall and 7-0 in the Big Ten. However, they were hammered at Michigan State 75-52 on Feb. 12.The 10th-ranked Spartans also need a restart after consecutive losses to Indiana and Ohio State. Michigan State, which outrebounded Michigan 39-27 in the first meeting, is 5-3 on the road in conference play.TV: 4 p.m. ET, CBS.ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (22-6, 11-4 Big Ten): One of the reasons the Spartans could not get over the hump in close games against the Buckeyes and Hoosiers was leading scorer Keith Appling's sudden shooting slump. The junior guard was 2-of-14 from the field and 0-of-6 from 3-point range over the last two contests, dropping his scoring average to 13.4 -- slightly ahead of freshman guard Gary Harris (13.2). Adreian Payne and Derrick Nix have done a solid job inside, both averaging more than 12 points the last five games. Payne, Nix and Branden Dawson (10.4 points) all shoot over 50 percent from the field.ABOUT MICHIGAN (23-5, 10-5): The Wolverines might have needed the slap in the face from Penn State to get back to basics and finish strong. After facing the Spartans, Michigan plays at Purdue and hosts Indiana to end the regular season. Player of the year candidate Trey Burke hasn't slowed down, shooting 49.6 percent from the field. Burke is second in the Big Ten in scoring (18.8) and first in assists (6.9). Tim Hardaway Jr., averaging 15.2 points, will have to do better than the 1-of-11 shooting performance at Michigan State. The Wolverines can also play better defense. They stand ninth in field-goal percentage defense in Big Ten games.TIP-INS1. The Spartans are third in the Big Ten in scoring defense and Michigan is second in offense.2. Michigan F/C Jordan Morgan scored 11 points against Penn State, his first time in double figures since Jan. 3.3. The Wolverines lead the all-time series 94-76, but Michigan State has won 20 of the last 26 meetings. PREDICTION: Michigan 75, Michigan State 70

@Inês Hunt: Eu pensava o mesmo de mim há bem pouco tempo! Mas basta achar o comprimento prefeito, por exemplo, se esta saia fosse abaixo do meio da canela ia ficar horrivel, e é dificil encontrar saias midi que me fiquem bem visto que sou baixa (1.62m), mas de certeza que também encontrarias algo que te fique bem! Pareces alta no blog hehe, quanto medes?
@Jess: It is actually a floral print! :) I need definitely a close up of the print next time I wear/post it! - July 23, 2011 at 10:30 PM

Professor and Chair, UCSF Department of Surgery
A gift to the Department of Surgery helps our physicians and scientists find new treatments and cures for serious diseases.
Maurice Galante, M.D., a legendary master surgeon at UCSF and renaissance man, died on February 5, 2013. His career is memorialized by the Maurice Galante Lecture Program and Maurice Galante Distinguished Professorship.
Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer with The New Yorker and noted cultural icon, was the featured speaker for the annual Galante Lecture Series on February 22, 2013.
The mission of the UCSF Department of Surgery is threefold: to develop the next generation of leaders in surgery; to provide outstanding quality clinical care that is cost effective, yet compassionate; and to make significant advances in scientific knowledge and clinical practice through basic and clinical research. Care of patients is what attracted our faculty and residents to surgery, and it continues to be our main focus.
The Department is comprised of seven divisions: Adult Cardiothoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Transplant Surgery, and Vascular & Endovascular Surgery. Our surgeons provide care at four major hospitals in San Francisco: UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus, UCSF Medical Center at Mt. Zion, San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, and San Francisco VA Medical Center, as well as at Alameda County Medical Center in Oakland. Our residents rotate through UCSF Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, and California Pacific Medical Center.

text: Lonsdale London first established itself as the quintessential boxing and sports brand in the early 1960's, however its roots and history go back even further. In 1891, the fifth Earl of Lonsdale Hugh Lowther, President of the National Sporting Club was the first to introduce boxing gloves after the deaths of three boxers in bare knuckle fights. In 1909 to promote boxing, Lord Lonsdale started donating the 'Lonsdale Belt' to each professional boxer who won his British National Championship and successfully defended it twice, thus starting the tradition that a boxer was not regarded as a true champion until he earned a Lonsdale Belt. In 1929 Lord Lonsdale became the first President of the British Boxing Board of Control. He passed away in 1944 at the age of 87. Evander Holyfield, Marvin Haggler, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson and Ricky Hatton are amongst the world champions who have trained and fought in Lonsdale. Australian boxer Vic Darchinyan is the current WBA, WBC and IBF Undisputed Super Flyweight World Champion and has been a proud Lonsdale supporter. Current boxer's part of the Lonsdale team includes Billy 'The Kid' Dib and Lovemore Ndou as well as our first female boxer Lauryn Eagle.
