I need to try the Rochefort 8 side-by-side with the 10. But I loved the 8 and rated it an A+, 4.7 I think. I have to give this a slight bit less solely because this was off the cask at Muggs in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It has a beautiful sour vegetable taste. Crisp and nice hops. Wonderful brew.

A: A lot of sediment floating in a dark murky brown beer. no head but a nice lacing on is left of the glass.
S: HUGE. sour dark fruit. yogurt, yeast and sourdough bread. There is a touch of fig, plum, raisins, tart cherry and banana in here. WOW this is awesome.
T: Tastes similar to how it smells. brown sugar, rum raisins, yogurt with a hint of alcohol on the end. Sweet fig, sourdough bread, under ripe cherry. A little tannin quality and has a bit of a port characteristic to it.
M:Dry long finish. medium bodied.
O: Refrshing, complex. There is so much going on here. There is no more i need to say, drink one! / 98

Appearance – A super dark amber brown color, with a nice very light brown head that sticks around for a long time, and lots of lacing. A little sediment at the bottom.
Smell – A wonderful sweet scent, unlike anything I can describe. Maybe brown sugar, toffee, malt, and cherry with a touch of chocolate. But it's very unique, and that description may not do it justice.
Taste – The taste is just as unique as the smell. Malty, with brown sugar, port, and a taste I find difficult to describe.
Mouthfeel – Perfectly carbonated, incredibly smooth, and the 11.3% abv is exceptionally well hidden.
Drinkability – Highly drinkable. I tried this alongside all the top quadruples (except the Westvleteren, which I'm saving for a head to head competition with the winner of the comparison), and found this one to be the best.

Poured a 330 mL bottle into a snifter.
A: Pours a cloudy dark brown with a head that disappears quickly.
S: Strong hints of plums and figs, and some yeastiness.
T: Initial hit of dark fruits and gives way to strong malt flavor and lingering spices. The alcohol content is incredibly well-hidden as well.
M: Medium carbonation that leaves a smooth and creamy finish. Easy to keep drinking.
O: I admittedly have had few quads relative to some other styles, but this is currently my favorite example of the style. Definitely happy that it is widely available.

Trappistes Rochefort
One of the Best Belgium Quads in the world. 11.3%ABV. (#2 quad & #8 rated beer in the world)
Aroma dark dark fruit plums and raisin
Appearance nice dark brown with a slight red hue with a small beige head with little lacing
Taste On if the best Belgium Quad I ever had. Full dark raisin / plum flavors with little Caramel notes. Extremely well balanced. The 11.3%ABV is well hidden
Mouthfeel. Lightly carbonated and mildly viscous. A little warmth on the aftertaste
Overall a must have beer if you are evaluating and enjoying Belgian Quads

I poured it in my La Trappe goblet that is pretty much similar to the Rochefort goblet.
A:It pours a dark brown caramel with a red shimmer, with a thick head in light brown. Lots of yeast on the bottles bottom.
S:notes of banana and caramel with a woody feel in the end.
T: As with other Trappists, Rochefort hides well its alcohol. The complexity again remember other trappists with a complex mix of fruits, predominant banana, hops and a woody flavor.
M: The sweetness and fruit notes contrast with the hops leaving a flavour not too bitter, but not too light as well. In the end a woody dry fell remember me some porto wine.
O: I cannot say I was surprise, because I aways expect the best of Trappists ales, but anyway this beer is another example of how good a beer could be, when done with carefully and attention. Rochefort 10 deserves its nickname "La Merveilleuse". (The Marvellous)

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.75
Appearance: Pours a dark brown (almost black) with amber notes if held up to the light. The tan head is a bit longer than an inch and has decent retention. The head leaves a minimal amount of lacing on the glass. Not to mention a fair amount of yeast that collects at the bottom of the glass.
Smell: Delicious - it smells like deeply spiced dark fruits, especially like figs and prunes. I detect a bit of vanilla and caramel as well.
Taste: The best - the spiced, dark fruits come and hit you immediately and a caramel and vanilla taste get you a bit later. The taste that lingers on your mouth is both malty and hoppy - as it should be. This beer is very complex, as well as being very well-balanced. The complexity of the flavors really help to offset the high alcohol content, which you can detect while drinking the beer. This beer almost tastes better as it warms up, like a fine red wine.
Mouthfeel: Mysterious, velvety, luxurious, and a bit dry all at the same time.
Overall: It's dark, complex, and has a lot of character - a lot like my mother. But seriously, I had to try this because it got such good reviews - now I can see why! It's a perfect beer if you just feel like relaxing, and of course, slowly sipping, on a great beer. Thanks to St. Benedict for setting up monasteries that can brew this great stuff!

Honestly the best quad I have ever had. Westy XII is out there somewhere for me to try, but until then this is the bench mark I hold for all top tier quads. Damn this is good stuff. The nose is out of this world with figs, blackberries, raisins, prunes smelling liked they were soaked in a spiced rum and let age in a toasted oak barrel for a few months. Some goes for the flavor, except there is a little more noticeable alcohol on the palate. Either way, I am buying another one of these before the store runs out and letting sit for a few months.

Found this in a strip-mall kiosk outside of Luquillo, Puerto Rico (Kiosk #25, El Revlou) where they have 150+ craft & imported beers in their cooler. For $6.47, there was no way I could pass it up.
It looked wonderful, even though they had put it in a plastic cup (I was appalled, too).
The smell was wonderful (figs & raisins) and I couldn't wait to tear into it.
The taste & mouthfeel were as good as anything I've ever had; almost perfect. It was so good that I looked down after a few minutes and it was gone. Fortunately, they had a few more for me. That was very considerate of them...
Overall, this might have been the best beer I've ever had. However, when I got home and went out to buy a 4-pack or 2 for the house, I was jolted by the $25 price; it was almost cheaper at the bar by the beach!
This is a wonderful beer everyone should try at least once.

330ml bottle into a goblet.
Pours an opaque dark ruby, almost black, with a light tan one finger head. Really decent head retention and lacing throughout.
The aroma is full of dark fruits such as plums, raisins, dates, and figs. Is quite vinous with a very red wine-like aroma. Some notes of sherry and cranberry. Quite nice.
The flavor provides even more depth than the aroma. Plums and grapes along with sherry and a hint of vanilla. More dark fruit washes over the palate with some oak and plums. Bitterness is on the moderate side with much of the perceived bitterness provided by the alcohol. It is never harsh but is definitely noticeable providing a nice, pleasing warmth in the chest and throat.
Overall, an amazing Quad and one of the best Trappist beers out there. So many complexities in the aroma and taste it is a brew that every true beer fan should experience.

A - Cloudy dark brown with a 3-finger head
S - Dark fruit, like a plum with a bit of alcohol. Hints of caramelized sugar.
T - Strong dark fruit flavor, mixed really well with some caramel and brown sugar. It's sweet with a bit of an earthy finish.
M - Medium to Medium+ carbonation, with a very silky smooth feel, the flavor lingering after the sip is not strong and actually tastes pretty good.
O - Very surprised by this, after having some other Quads. This feels like a goldilocks Quad, not too sweet, but not too dry, with good, strong, complex flavors

Bought on 4/17/13, poured into an oversized snifter on 4/26/13
A - Murky brown verging on a dark gold hue where the light hits the glass. A finger of khaki head that dissipated very quickly. Looks like a world class quad. Can't argue with that.
S - Caramelized alcohol soaked raisins/plums/figs. Big dark boozy fruits with some burnt caramel nose on it. It is insane how much you can get from just smelling the beer when you crack open the damn bottle.
T - Huge dark fruits up front. Rum soaked raisins might be the most prominent flavor. Caramel malt balance to go along with it. Very sweet, very palate friendly. This is tied for the best tasting beer I have ever had. Everything is so apparent and well crafted. The flavors are distinct and dominant.
M - Medium carbonation, and very smooth velvety mouthfeel. Medium bodied and a nice finish. While you can taste the flavors that the alcohol imparts on the fruits, it doesn't feel like you're drinking an 11% beer. It feels like 7% abv max. Very well hidden in the mouthfeel department.
O - It's hard to imagine anything better than this, in the Quad category. I will definitely try St. Bernardus Abt 12 soon, but it will be hard to top this. Maybe one day I will find some Westy 12, too. For $7 a bottle and easy availability, this beer is a fuckin' masterpiece.

Poured from a 11.2 oz bottle into a Samuel Smith pint glass.
A: There's a lot going on visually with this brew. Dark brown, cloudy, murky, yeasty, but definitely a treat to look at. Held up to light, you can clearly see the yeast settling to the bottom of the glass.
S: Slightly boozy. There's a grape hint to the bouquet, and a sweetness there, but there's also a warmth and bit of a nutty hint. Walnut comes to mind. Nothing overpowers, and it's really subdued compared to other Belgians I've experienced.
T: Caramel, chocolate, a hint of fruit, including a mildly fig-like taste intermingling with the other flavors. There is some apparent alcohol in the flavor, but it's not overwhelming or overpowering, rather serving to complement the other flavors. Fruit and booze linger on the finish. I almost tasted a hint of apple, but it was pulled in with the other flavors to make one of the most balanced Belgian tastes - if not the most well-balanced - you're wont to experience.
M: Very carbonated and very refreshing. Very crisp, is the word I'd also use to describe it. Rich, tongue-tingling. Mouthfeel also complements the flavor absolutely flawlessly.
O: This is a wonderful beer, albeit it a bit expensive to have on a regular basis. This is not an everyday beer, one that you will drink everyday after work. This is the kind of beer you reward yourself with, the kind for special occasions. It is absolutely superb.

Poured from a 11.2 oz slim small bottle into a snifter.
Color is deep grayish brown with a lot of cloudiness and suspension. Yeast settles at the bottom. A lot of it. Head is about two fingers thick of off white to tan colored porous bubbles typical of Belgian beers. Good retention. Little lacing left by the receding head.
Aroma is more subdued than I would imagine from such a world class 'Belgian' beer. Strength is good but not excellent. A lot of resins. A good amount of malts. Strong yeast. Crisp notes. A huge mix of various dry nuts. Slight warmth and booze.
Taste is of dry nuts, slight caramel, a lot of dry fruits and yeast. Booze is apparent as well, but for a 11.2% brew, the alcohol is not significant. Good warmth. Heavy stuff. Finish is semi-dry and semi-sweet at the same time.
Mouth feel is medium bodied. High carbonation. Very nice texture. Strong on alcohol and warmth. Very heavy stuff.
Excellent brew. Complex, yes. World class? - may be.

Appearance: Poured into tall 12 oz Belgian chalice. Dark brown with copper hues. 1 inch tan head that vanishes fairly quickly. Some brown, compacted yeast at the bottom even after carefully pouring but a little more expected for a BDS and/or Quad.
Smell: Dark cocoa, slight alcohol smell, chewy dates
Taste: Out of this world. My all time favorite beer out of any style. BA reviewer and pro ratings are spot on - this is a world class beer. I get dark, slightly burnt cocoa - even more complex than the D-180 taste. Chewy rummy date, dark fruits, slight warming alcohol. I get some toasty marshmallow as it warms - debittered black, Cara-something in there along with the Special B. This is much, much more complex than just dark candi syrup/sugar and dark fruit. Any home brewer that can come close to its likeness has a gem on their hands.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, dry, chewy, sumptuous and gets even better as it warms. A real treat to savor.
Overeall: For 11.3 abv, the complexity really masks the boozy flavor - be careful - you'll be feeling great halfway through! This is to slowly enjoy and so I have numerous times over. This is a dark, masterful potion.

The History of "10"
Although written records of brewing at Rochefort date to 1595, Rochefort 10 was developed in the late 1940s and early 50s. It appears on virtually every list of the world's finest beers.
Dark brown color. Great strength balanced by a complexity of flavors and firm malt backbone. The bouquet covers a wide range: port wine, leather, apricots, oak, spices - a deeply intriguing beverage.
Serving Suggestion
Lamb shanks with juniper berries, wild chanterelle mushrooms, truffles, or dishes with intensely reduced sauces. Serve in the traditional stemmed Rochefort goblet.

Heard some phenomenal things about this beer, had to give it try.
A - Pours a deep brown color with a decent head, no lacaing.
S - Sweet scents, fruits also present, grapes/raisins
T - The taste profile follows through on what comes through with the smell. Dark fruits and the perfect amount of sweetness. The most surprising part is that the alcohol is not overpowering whatsoever. You wouldn't really know the ABV is 11.3%
M - Very smooth, carbonation can be described as a little less than average. Definitely a well-bodied Belgian. So far, this has been the high point of the sampling.
O - Don't get me wrong, this is a high quality beer. I had extremely high expectations. Reading how highly ranked it was on the website forced me to expect an extreme wow factor, but I think it came up just short. It's definitely worth a try and I would love to have another, but I'm not so sure that it met my lofty expectations.

Sampled this in the midst of an evening of other Belgian beers including La Chouffe on tap, but the Rochefort 10 stood out above all others for it's pitch black appearance, silky smooth texture and the tastes of caramel/fudge.
Very hard to tell that this is an 11.3% ABV beer (until you've had a few and find standing up to be a bit of a challenge!), pleasure to drink - there seems to be a hint of cherry or some other rich fruit tucked away in the after taste too.

Bought a 330 ml bottle. Served at room temperature in a Delirium snifter glass - a perfect fit since that's exactly the volume this glass holds, leaving room for the head.
A very beautiful head. Two fingers thick and very persistent - one of the best ones I've seen. In fact, this brew is so carbonated that the beer spilled over the moment I opened it. The beer is pitch black - I had to hold it directly to the lightbulb to see the deep burgundy color. The bubbles gash out from the inside of the glass like an erupting volcano. The head and color density is simply unlike any other beer - ale or stout - I've had.
Very pleasant sweet aroma of caramel, alcohol, and dried fruit. Smells very much like some Belgian strong ales I've had.
Taste - I might have just tried the best beer I've ever had. Unbelievably smooth, well balanced sweetness and a rich warm alcoholic finish.
The consistency is very rich, with super fine high carbonation, it has a slight anesthetic property on the tongue. The only drawback of this is that the foam occupies too much space in the mouth compared to the liquid.
This is a paradigm Quadrupel that needs no hype because it speaks volumes on its own merit, not to mention that it was made in Belgium. Definitely my new favorite of this style.

A: Nice deep brown, with a nice 1 finger tan head on vigorous pour. Sediment present.
S: Although alcohol is present in the nose, the grains really keep the smell balanced overall.
T: Wow, what a smooth beer! At 11.3%, you really don't get overpowered with the alcohol like some other beers with this abv.
M: Carbonation is medium. When mixed with the abv, you get a really nice, yet slight, burn on the tongue. Really good coating on every sip.
O: I've been keeping two of these in the back of the fridge since Christmas. Glad that I finally tried one of the greatest, and well balanced, beers I've tried to date. Certainly worth the hype; and I love the fact that it is readily available in my area.

For me, the quintessential dark Belgian beer. Rich, dense, rummy, fudgy, raisins and sugary dates, buttery brown sugar, deeply fruity.
Very warming, impossible to drink slowly. One of my favorite beers, widely available, and impossible to beat in this style.

Consumed from a Trappistes Rochefort glass.
Appearance: This beer is cloudy and dark with a short life-span off white colored head.
Smell: Smells like figs and cherries ( some other dark fruits maybe) brown sugar.
Taste: Amazing flavor. Complex in texture and flavor, has a lot of the dark fruit and dark sugar flavors that I have come to expect out of the great belgian beers. amazing beer.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and very lightly spiced. Seems to have low carbonation and a complex texture.
Overall: This is a great beer and it has a great flavor as well as texture. This beer is on the same level as the Westy 12 (maybe not quite as good but it is close. Plus I can get it very easily at a local store).

A - Brownish burgundy. Hazy and 65% opaque. Cream colored head that dissipated quickly.
S - Caramel and apples are prominent. A bit of alcohol when inhaling deeply but not overwhelmingly so. Some molasses or other sugary smell. I smells wonderful. It smells like a candy factory but not it's not cloying at all. It's almost like the smell of baking cookies but more earthy.
T - the taste lives up to the hype. The high alcohol content is not noticeable. It is nicely sweet and fruity, but there is still an easy malt presence. It could pair well with a dessert, but it also has a strength that would allow it to pair with meat. It is powerful but also subtle and well balanced. Lots of caramel. Not much bitterness if any at all.
M - The only small criticism I might have is that the mouthfeel is a little thin. But, it is still solid and easy to drink.
O - this is a great beer...one of the best I've ever had.

There is a dark brown color with some light head.
The aroma is very fruity with a smaller head than Chimay Blue. It surely smells like big cherry. There is biscuit, malt, and raisins as well.
There is a smooth Belgian yeast. There is huge cherry. Then there is a bit of prune, plum, and stone fruits. It's almost like rum with the sweetness.
It surely is the best of the blind taste I had with St Bernardus 12 and Chimay Blue. By far my favorite. Next to Pannepot Reserva, this is maybe my favorite quad. I recommend this extremely highly.

reviewed as one who normally leans towards stouts and ipas, this was a bottle from family in portland.
i normally don't care for belgians, but this one would be worth revisiting:
solid head dies down to not a trace. no lacing to speak of.
nose is subtle, softly fruity.
taste is, again, subtle, but much more pleasing than other belgians i've had. very smooth, refined, and hides its very high abv remarkably well. none of the artificial tasting flavors i find in most belgians. even once it's warmed, it is very cloy about its character.
will have to put this on list of specialties to try again :)
superb effort by the monks!

Firefighters found an unresponsive man in a bedroom. Deputies tell us he died at the scene. "We didn't really encounter a whole lot of fire," said East Rochester Fire Chief Steve Williams. "It appears at this time that most of the fire was in the basement and had gone out prior to our arrival."
Monroe County Sheriff's deputies were at the scene of the fire and crime scene tape was on the house. The chief said deputies were collecting property from the house for everybody's safety. Deputies are calling the victim's passing an unattended death and continue to investigate.

Punch Shots: Surly Santa insults kid's favorite team
So Santa is a belligerent hockey fan. Not surprising, considering the North Pole is surrounded by hockey hotbeds like Canada, Russia and Norway.
Mr. Claus certainly is not a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, either. At least that's what he told a 3-year-old boy who came to visit him at the Lowe's Toronto Christmas Market Wednesday.
The boy's mother said this Santa imposter first insulted his plaid (and, I might add, very cozy looking) jacket.
"The first thing he tells my son is, 'Oh, you look like Paul Bunyan,'" she told the Toronto Sun. What 3-year-old knows who Paul Bunyan is, anyway?
"Then he said, 'Oh, you're wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs (hat), you shouldn't be wearing that, they suck,'" she continued. "At that point, I took my son and told him we should go, Santa isn't being very good today." The youngster reportedly cried the whole way home.
Well kids, rest assured, this was not Santa, but someone pretending to be him, and he's since been fired.
The real Santa isn't stupid enough insult a child's favorite hockey team, let alone the home team of the city IN WHICH HE'S WORKING. If he said the Montreal Canadiens suck he might have been given a raise.
In keeping with polite Canadian stereotypes, the woman and her son left without making a scene. This never would have happened in Philadelphia. If it did, the fake Santa would have been wishing for his two front teeth for Christmas (and probably most of the rest of them, too). Besides, we all know Santa's a Flyers fan.

Today, Governor Mark Dayton introduced a bonding proposal that would invest $750 million in infrastructure projects statewide, creating an estimated 21,000 Minnesota jobs. The plan – which builds on the Governor's proposed budget measures to get Minnesotans back to work – would address many of the state's needed infrastructure improvements and strengthen Minnesota's economy.
Screenshot: PCA Stormwater Manual Wiki
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency launched a wiki version of the Minnesota Stormwater Manual that will serve as an invaluable reference for controlling urban stromwater pollution of lakes and streams.
Last week, Higher Education Commissioner Larry Pogemiller spoke to Duluth area college students about Governor Dayton's proposed Budget for a Better Minnesota.
Commissioner Sieben visits Kato Engineering during her March 26 tour of Mankato
A full agenda that included six Mankato company tours made its mark with DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben: The network of interconnected businesses allow companies in Greater Mankato to better serve their customers in Minnesota and around the world.
One stop on the March 26 tour was Kato Engineering, a subsidiary of Emerson Electric, which employs 500 people at its North Mankato facility. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing generators (alternators), motor-generator sets and controls for multiple industries.
Kato Engineering is a major supplier in a rapidly expanding global market for electrical power, especially in developing countries. Kato generators power tankers, freighters, locomotives, aircraft and mass transit. Kato equipment is used by hospitals, communication industries, in remote areas of the world and any other place where dependable controllable electrical power is needed.
Another stop was El Microcircuits, a manufacturer of custom and standard microcircuits for the electronics industry. With manufacturing facilities in Mankato and St. Peter, the company mainly serves the medical device and industrial controls sectors and employs about 160 people.
Commissioner Sieben also visited Coughlan Companies, a diversified holding company; Taylor Corporation, one of the largest privately held companies in the country, specializing in interactive printing and marketing; Kato Cable, producer of cable assemblies, wire harnesses and electro–mechanical assemblies for a variety of industries; and MTU OnSite Energy, manufacturer of diesel-powered and natural gas-powered generators.
Greater Mankato Growth, the combined chamber of commerce and economic development group serving the region, organized the Mankato tour.
Mankato has the second highest employment growth in the state. Job gains rose 2.2 percent in the past 12 months in the Mankato-North Mankato Metropolitan Statistical Area, Minnesota's newest MSA. Mankato's mix of industries and flexible, diverse workforce create a balanced regional economy.
DEED's Labor Market Information office reports that historically, the Mankato-North Mankato MSA unemployment rate is at its lowest at two times during the calendar year: Holidays and the start of summer. This suggests that students are returning to work service sector jobs during their breaks between spring and fall semester and fall and winter semester.
Local media reports include State jobs commissioner touts Mankato area's strengths from the Mankato Free Press and KEYC TV story DEED commissioner visits city businesses.
An estimated 1.3 million Minnesotans will benefit from legislation recently signed into law by Governor Mark Dayton, including nearly 300,000 Minnesotans who are currently uninsured. The bill establishes a new marketplace where Minnesotans can choose quality, affordable health coverage, and will save Minnesota families and businesses an estimated $1 billion in health care costs by 2016. Explore the infographic below to learn how the new MNsure marketplace will benefit Minnesota.
Governor Dayton announced his appointment of David Lillehaug to Minnesota's Supreme Court on Tuesday, March 26, 2013, at the state capitol.
Today, in a press conference at the State Capitol, Governor Mark Dayton announced his appointment of David Lillehaug to the Minnesota Supreme Court. Mr. Lillehaug will replace Justice Paul Anderson, who will be retiring from the Bench at the end of May.
Governor Dayton thanked Justice Anderson for his dedicated service to the State of Minnesota, especially for his service on the Supreme Court, where he has served as Associate Justice since 1994.
About the appointment, Governor Dayton said:
"Mr. Lillehaug served our state admirably as the United States Attorney, after being confirmed unanimously by the US Senate. In the following years, he has served as lead counsel for cases involving some of the most complex legal and constitutional questions of our time. They include: establishing the rights of Minnesota's religious institutions under the "conceal-carry" firearms law; challenging Governor Pawlenty's unallotment of appropriated funds in 2009-2010; and representing my office on constitutional issues regarding the 2011 state government shutdown.
"In 2008 and 2009, Mr. Lillehaug served as Senator Al Franken's chief Minnesota counsel in the recount following his US Senate contest with Senator Norm Coleman. When faced with my own recount after the 2010 gubernatorial election, I also turned to Mr. Lillehaug for his expertise. In both the 2010 recount and 2011 shutdown cases, Mr. Lillehaug's representation was superb. He has one of the most brilliant minds I have ever encountered; yet he can also put very complex legal issues into very understandable writings. His diligence, preparation, and professionalism were always impeccable.

Do you like Persona?
Of course you do, who doesn't? Well, if you're interested in making some new friends and the possibility of getting a Persona photoshoot together unless there already is one, in which please tell me then look no further!
Me and three other of my friends are hopefully planning on cosplaying P3/P4 characters.
I'll be going as Minato Arisato and my friend Mary will be going as Minako Arisato. My other friends will be cosplaying Chie and Yosuke i believe. I'm also informed that there's another Minato and Mitsuru, but that doesn't mean we can't have doubles or even triples. It doesn't really matter to me as long as we have a jolly good time. Hopefully they have Persona 4 Arena so we can break the fourth wall and have a good time beating each other up in a bit of friendly competition. Who doesn't enjoy that??
If you're interested just reply to this thread or contact me or Mary through tumblr. Because everybody likes tumblr.
I'm Dave by the way!

EDIT: I forgot to mention we'll be there in the later part of Friday but all day Saturday/Sunday

"My order was received ahead of the scheduled time, which meant I could deliver it also ahead of time. The ornaments looked exceptional and was so pleased to give them as presents. The prices were reasonable and even cost less than other web sites that were searched. Thanks again.....Will definitely shop again at "Ornament Shop". Pamela P."
"The decorations are FANTASTIC! WE are over the moon with the results.
A thousand thank yous for all your time, effort and patience. If you

Lesley A."
"Hi Diane! I was just lucky to find your site. I have 5 kids and have given 4 of them anniversary plates on their 10th anniversaries. Three of them came from an artist who has gone out of the business and the 4th one requested the password to my email account to place an order! There is no way I would give this info to anyone! So I spent several hours browsing other sites until I came to yours and found exactly what I wanted. Your site looked secure, was easy to navigate and had what I wanted. I also like your article about the history of your company – and the price was right! So , thanks, I am looking forward to seeing my son and daughter-in-law's plate hanging in their kitchen. Sheelah G."

As a result of the fragmentation and splitting of the human race, every culture has an unique experience that nobody can understand unless they are part of that culture. This is why there are words in other languages that take a full sentence in English to convey the same meaning. Here are 11 of the hardest words to translate:
- Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan)
- ???? (Kyoiku mama) (Japanese)
- Tartle (Scottish)
- Ilunga (Bantu)
- Schadenfreude (German)
- Tingo (Pascuense)
- Hyggelig (Danish)
- L'appel du vide (French)
- Papakata (Maori)
- Sigurista (Tagalog)
- Vovohe Tahtsenaotse (Cheyenne)
A look shared by two people, each wishing that the other would initiate something that they both desire but which neither wants to begin. This word is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as most succint word.
A mother who endlessly pushes her children to study, even at the cost of emotional or physical health. Maybe Tiger Mom is the English word for this?
Pausing while introducing someone because you can't remember his name.
A person who is ready to forgive any abuse for the first time, to tolerate it a second time, but never a third time. We don't have an equivalent expression in English because we don't think about such a person.
Deriving pleasure from another person's misfortune. On the other hand, this type of person is easy to imagine, but nobody bothered to come up with a word for it.
To borrow objects from a friend's house, one by one, until there's nothing left. I wonder if they need to use this word a lot?
Dictionaries give the definiftion as 'coziness', but native speakers say it means much more. "It's a matter of mentality," one speaker said. "You can't really give it an English equivalent because the English, or you Americans, don't have the same mentality." See here for a more detailed look: http://www.hackwriters.com/Denmark.htm
The unexplainable desire to jump off the edge when you are on a cliff. We all get that feeling to do crazy things, so I'm glad there's a word for it!
To have legs of different lengths.
Someone who frets that not everything will go the right way. This person will not do something unless he is certain the desired outcome will be achieved. Somewhat similar to a perfectionist, but not quite.
To prepare the mouth before speaking by moving or licking one's lips. This is an useful word, I wish we had one similar in English. Come to think of it, we also need a word for licking our lips at the thought of dinner…

Please find all MAQUET related press releases below. For additional information, please contact us.
MAQUET Surgical Workplaces, a leading name in technical innovation for operating theatre equipment, announced today that it has launched two new products, TRIOP and VOLISTA, which are designed to improve the flexibility and performance of the operating theatre for hospitals and surgeons.
A combination of the Magnus OR table system from Maquet and the Artis zeego® angiography system from Siemens Healthcare will provide hospitals with interdisciplinary, flexible use of the hybrid OR enabling optimal patient care.
Maquet the global leader in OR complete solutions and Siemens Healthcare Sector will now collaborate closely to introduce a combined system for diagnostics and surgical procedures. The very first systems will be delivered and installed starting in May 2012.
The all-new website, www.maquet-hybridoperatingroom.com, by solution provider Maquet offers extensive examples and information on planning a hybrid operating room.
Rastatt, Germany - July 2011 - Maquet, the medical engineering and workflow specialist, presents its latest mobile operating table: The Yuno OTN. It was specifically developed to enable all surgical procedures to the upper and lower parts of the skeleton to be carried out on just a single operating table and with the very highest degree of precision.
Rastatt, Germany - MArch 2011 - Maquet announces that Siemens Healthcare will integrate Maquets operating table Magnus in its Artis zeego and Artis zee ceiling interventional systems.
Rastatt, Germany - November 2010 - The first thing a layperson associates with the term hybrid is the car. The hybrid car has an internal combustion engine as well as an electric motor with an energy storage device. In numerous other technologies "from clock to hard drive", this term also describes the pooling of several positive features for the benefit of the user. In the case of the hybrid operating theater, patients are the ones who benefit most, followed by physicians and hospitals.
Rastatt, Germany - October 2010 - You must not fool yourself this is a big project in need of a lot of coordination, describes Andreas Lauinger, technical director and authorized signatory for the Heart Surgery Clinic in Karlsruhe, his experience with the construction of the local hybrid OR. The implementation in Karlsruhe only took 15 months which shows that the project coordination was well thought through. The hybrid OR - in this case a synthesis of operating theater for heart surgery and fully equipped cardiac catheter laboratory is a highly complex structure, considering the planning and technical process.
Rastatt, Germany - October 2010 - It is the heart itself which sets the rhythm for Maquets presentation in Hall 12, Stand 50/51: Its da-dam on a darkened stage leads us at a stroke right into the topic. This sound is joined by other heart rhythms until the visitor is acoustically enveloped by the event. This impression of being right at the heart of things rather than just a spectator is achieved with the second main theme, lung therapies, thanks to the use of breathing sounds.
Rastatt, Germany - September 2010 - Suitable working conditions for the surgical team are a fundamental prerequisite for ensuring that operations are performed ergonomically and safely. This applies to the entire surgical area but in particular to the operating table. A study¹ revealed that 45% of the surgeons interviewed had to use a step during surgery to compensate for the height of the operating table.
Rastatt, Germany - August 2010 - With the new Trimano 3D support arm, Maquet, the workflow specialists, are able to further expand their already extensive product portfolio in the field of assist systems and OR accessories. The assist system is deployed as a third hand for the surgeon, in orthopaedics and traumatology. It has been specially developed for operations to the shoulder and upper arm area.
Rastatt, Germany - July 2010 - Hospitals increasingly need to have constant access to OR tables that meet the growing demands of the different surgical disciplines and, at the same time, enable multifunctional application options. Maquet, the Medical Technology and Workflow specialists have the solution, the new Alphastar Pro OR table.
Rastatt, Germany - July 2009 - Optimised usage of patient-related image and data sources in the OR, simple equipment operation, full integration in the clinic's IT workflow and compatibility with existing equipment and systems are the core demands when it comes to digital ORintegration. MAQUET fulfils these expectations with AV CONFERENCE. OR teams are already using AV CONFERENCE systems around the world, as the hub for digital communication in the OR.
Rastatt, Germany - June 2009 - According to the World Health Organisation, some 3 million people across the world require artificial hips as primary joint replacement surgery. Demographic developments are expected to cause a sharp rise in these figures in the coming years. Increasingly, surgeons are using minimally-invasive procedures to implant artificial hips, with direct anterior access.
Rastatt, Germany - April 2009 - 160 kilograms is a weight which not just jeopardizes the personal operating risk of the patient, but also the efficacy of surgical procedures on traditional operating tables.

I think you can file most video enthusiasts into two broad categories: Purists and Bestists.The Purists want accurate color, bit-for-bit accuracy from Blu-ray, original aspect ratios, and so on. Bestists want the image to fill their screen, and to see a picture with hyper-detail (and maybe hypercolor). Which brings us to Darbee's Darblet video enhancer. While a Purist might dismiss the Darblet as something a Bestist would want, I couldn't say for sure that both camps won't be curious. It is … interesting.
Tube-shaped subs are popular with DIY-ers because they're easy to construct. Just grab a cylindrical concrete form at Home Depot, slap some ends on it, and you've got a nice subwoofer enclosure. But SVS features tube-shaped subs in its line not because they're easy to build; it's because the form factor makes them perfect for certain rooms. At 16.6 inches in diameter, the company's PC-13 Ultra takes up less than half the floor space of its comparable box-shaped sub, the PB-13 Ultra. A PC-13 Ultra can slip almost unnoticed into a corner, while the PB-13 Ultra can slip unnoticed into... well, maybe an aircraft hangar.
When I reviewed the Astro A40 MLG edition headset and wireless mixamp late last year, my complaints were minor. Since then, they've become my go-to cans; I even use them for transcribing interviews. It's overkill, I know. I've used them exclusively for the past eight months because I haven't heard another gaming headset that sounds anywhere near as good. That is until I spent quality time with Astro's new model, the A50.
Audyssey, a firm that's long been on our radar as a near-ubiquitous provider of software algorithms for home theater, has in recent years stepped up its efforts to become a force in the desktop audio hardware market. We loved their first powered speaker pair, the Audyssey Media Speakers, and the company's now followed those up with a Bluetooth version, the aptly named Audyssey Wireless Speakers.
Cue Acoustics, whose r1 iPod dock we thought highly of back in 2009, has an interesting new set of bookshelf speakers in the works.

This year one of Cleveland's landmark institutions is celebrating its 90th birthday. As the country's largest performing arts center outside of New York, PlayhouseSquare engages our region and attracts over one million guests each year to 1,000+ annual events.
But that wasn't always the case.
Although PlayhouseSquare was downtown Cleveland's cinematic and entertainment destination for many years, a number of factors after the second World War led to both the proverbial and literal wrecking ball landing at the door of PlayhouseSquare's theatres.
Who saved PlayhouseSquare, though?
It's an empowering story that exemplifies the resilient, passionate attitude I love about our region. And on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 8pm, a new documentary on WVIZ/PBS tells the story of the volunteers, civic leaders and organizations who put PlayhouseSquare on its remarkable road to renewal.

Playhouse Square is one of modern Cleveland's greatest artistic assets. It is recognized across the country as a success story in every sense. With $10 Smart Seats available for many shows, there is no reason NOT to experience and enjoy this NE Ohio jewel!

The accusation came from GreatFire.org, an organization that monitors Internet freedom in China, who reported that Google's feature was removed sometime between December 5 and 8.
Taj Meadows, a Policy Communications Manager at Google, confirmed that the feature was disabled around that time, but wouldn't comment further. Google didn't want to comment on the self-censorship accusations.
While the feature was in place, it informed users when they put in a search term that might be blocked. When a sensitive query was entered, a message would appear: "We've observed that searching for [censored word] in mainland China may temporarily break your connection to Google. This interruption is outside Google's control."
Launched in May, the feature was introduced in response to search problems faced by users in China. Some would report receiving messages such as "This website is not available" or "The connection was reset," before access to Google was temporarily disabled, according to Google Search's own official blog, Inside Search.
The connection interruptions were "closely correlated with searches for a particular subset of queries," Alan Eustace, a Google Senior Vice President, wrote on Inside Search at the time of the launch of the feature. Several hundred thousand popular search queries in China were reviewed by engineers in the U.S., who managed to identify specific problematic search terms. "By prompting people to revise their queries, we hope to reduce these disruptions and improve our user experience from mainland China," he said.
When the feature was introduced, Foreign Policy, a magazine on global politics and economics owned by the Washington Post Company, wrote in their online edition that "what Google executives won't discuss -- at least publicly -- is the obvious fact that they are exposing the Chinese government's censorship tactics in an unprecedented way."
The Chinese authorities received the warning-function with little enthusiasm, taking measures to block the feature within 24 hours of its launch, according to Greatfire.org. "Google in turn reacted by changing the URL of this file, which again was blocked. The cat and mouse game ended... when Google geniously embedded the whole function in the HTML of its start page," GreatFire.org reported.
The efforts from the Chinese side to block the feature caused such disruption in the search engine that it worsened the user experience, which is why the feature was finally removed, according to an Internet expert familiar with the situation.
Martin Johnson, founder of GreatFire.org and FreeWeibo.org, said Google managed to embed the coding of the feature on its front page in such a way that the authorities couldn't remove it by anything less than a complete block of Google.
"The removal of the feature suggests that [Google] gave in to demands from the authorities, perhaps under threats that they would be completely blocked otherwise... There are many more things they could do, like forwarding users to the HTTPS version of their search engine, which would make it impossible for the authorities to block individual keywords," Johnson said, adding that recent events has lowered the expectations of Google's ability to push the boundaries in China.

The Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility, located in Suitland, Md. is where the National Air and Space Museum preserves and stores aircraft, spacecraft, and other artifacts, and restores these artifacts to represent a specific period in their history.
The facility is a no-frills assembly of about 32 metal buildings belonging to the National Air and Space Museum and other Smithsonian organizations. About 19 buildings store airplanes, spacecraft, engines, and various parts. One building is devoted to a large restoration shop and 3 buildings are for exhibition production. What is the history of the Facility and who was Paul E. Garber?
The restoration workshop and collection at the Garber facility are moving to the Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. The Udvar-Hazy Center is a companion facility to the Museum in Washington, DC and enables 80% of the Museum's major artifacts to be displayed to the public. The Udvar-Hazy Center is located near Washington Dulles International Airport.Visitors will be able to watch specialists restoring historic air and spacecraft in the new Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar. Note: Public tours of the Garber Facility ended in March of 2003.

One of the great mysteries in Scripture concerns the identity of Jerusalem. Today many Christians wait to see a new temple built in old Jerusalem and yearn for the day when this same old Jerusalem shall be made a praise upon the earth. But, the prophecies concerning Jerusalem do not deal with old Jerusalem and Ezekiel's vision concerning a new temple do not relate to some new physical temple that will one day be built in old Jerusalem. No, these prophecies speak about the overcomers of God, the sons of God and the Bride of Christ, whom John saw as New Jerusalem descending from heaven.
In the Old Testament it is primarily the prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel who spoke about this new Jerusalem. We need to interpret the prophets through the filter of the Revelation given to John and the other New Testament apostles and prophets. For example, what does John mean when he says, "Then the angel[a] showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life[b] with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." (Revelation 22:1-2, ESV)
First, take note that in this passage John says the very same thing which Ezekiel prophesied when talking about the new temple to come. Look particularly at verse 12 below to see this. Ezekiel said,
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8 And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, and enters the sea;[b] when the water flows into the sea, the water will become fresh.[c] 9 And wherever the river goes,[d] every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea[e] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10 Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From Engedi to Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.[f] 11 But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. 12 And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing. (Ezekiel 47:6b-12)
Notice that trees grow on each side of the river. The river itself is the water of life, Jesus Christ. The water, representing Christ's truth and life, flows to the salty sea. This sea is mankind. Mankind dwells in the salty, murky, dark waters under the firmament of heaven. Remember the second day of creation, "And God said, "Let there be an expanse[a] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 And God made[b] the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.[c] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day." (Genesis 1:6-8) The waters "above the expanse" are the waters of life. A time is coming when this water above the expanse will flow into the water below the expanse. This will make the salty water into "fresh" water, that is, it will bring life and healing to the "fish of the Great Sea." The fish are men. Remember that Jesus calls us to be fishers of men. But, what are the trees? Isaiah prophesied,
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;[a]
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;[b]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.[c]
4 They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations. (Isaiah 61:1-4)
The trees we see in Ezekiel and Revelation are these "oaks of righteousness." These are the firstfruits of God, the first human beings besides Jesus ever to be glorified with immortal bodies. To them will be granted a "beautiful headdress" in place of the ashes of dust they now bear. Today they mourn under the burden of their faint spirit, their unfruitfulness, and the sin of their flesh. Tomorrow they will be clothed with a garment of praise. Tomorrow, at their glorification, they will produce new, good fruit each month. Their leaves, their produce, will bring healing to the nations. To them it shall be granted to build up the ancient ruins, to raise up the former devastations, and to repair the ruined cities. These trees are the ones whom the Bible also calls "New Jerusalem," as prophesied by Isaiah.
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness,
and all the kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a new name
that the mouth of the Lord will give.
3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,[a]
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b]
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,[c]
and your land Married;[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a young woman,
so shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you. (Isaiah 62:1-5)
This is the same image which John saw and wrote of.
9 Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb."10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (Revelation 21:9-14)
So, when John says, "Then the angel[a] showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life[b] with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations," (Revelation 22:1-2) this speaks of God's Spirit, God's water of life, moving without hindrance through the very essence ("middle of the street of the city") of each overcomer who comprises New Jerusalem! And it is this unhindered flow of the water of life, the very fullness of Jesus Christ himself, which produces in us ongoing fruit which will bring healing to the entire earth! Let us then each aspire to become these oaks of righteousness that will heal a broken and hurting world.

A Discussion of the Traditional and Modern Characteristics of the Spleen Pulse
by Peter van Kervel
Before going into details about pulse diagnosis and pi, the translation of pi into spleen has to be explained. Pi - 脾 is translated in all of the Chinese dictionaries as spleen. The functions of pi, as presented in A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine, are the following: the organ that lies against the lower face of the stomach. [The spleen, know from western anatomy, lies at the left side of the stomach. The described organ must therefore be the pancreas.] The spleen is ascribed the function of assimilating nutrients from food and drinks in the stomach, to make qi, blood and fluids. [It has to be noticed that the Chinese stomach organ wei starts at the lips. From the lips towards the cardia, the sphincter of the entrance of the stomach is seen as the upper jiao of wei. The middle jiao of wei is the actual stomach organ, with the fundus, corpus, anterior wall, greater and lesser curvature and antrum. The lower jiao of wei-stomach is known from western anatomy as the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The main process of transformation of food takes place in the duodenum, induced by pancreatic fluids.] The spleen governs transformation of grains and fluids and distribution of its essence. [Transformation of food is guarded by enzymes produced by the pancreas, such as lipase for fats, protease for proteins and different types of enzymes to break down polysaccharides.]
