Narrow your search
This week's prize is an advanced all-in-one modem-router combo, the Arris-Motorola SBG6782-AC Gateway. Multitasking cable users, apply here.
Finally, an easy way to lower your monthly cable bill. Plus: free stuff!
The search giant will only require Arris to pay a small sum if Motorola is found to have infringed a TiVo patent on DVR technology.
The Web giant inherited the cable-box maker with its acquisition of Motorola Mobility earlier this year.
The company's technical prowess and free VP9 licensing haven't been enough to dent the fortunes of rival compression format HEVC. But Google's already moving on to VP10.
For the second year in a row, Google surpassed $50 billion in annual revenue as the company announced its fourth-quarter earnings for 2013.
Google paid more than $12 billion for Motorola Mobility and sold the handset business for less than $3 billion. It sounds like a crushing loss -- unless you're Google.
The three services broke ground and helped changed the way we watch TV. At CES 2014, they showed that they're still going strong.
Start the year off with a brand new high-performance bag for toting your laptop and other working essentials. Did we mention it's free?
No More Woof is a wearable brainwave-reading headband for dogs that can interpret up to four neural patterns and voice them in human-speak.

Jonathan Martin
WSMV-TV weekend anchor Jonathan Martin is signing off from Channel 4 to oversee Al-Jazeera Americas new Nashville bureau.
The 30-year-old Martin, who has worked at Nashvilles NBC affiliate for the past six years, will host his final newscast for WSMV Sunday at 8 a.m.
In August, Martin will begin work as a national correspondent for Al-Jazeera at a time when the media network is expanding bureaus to a dozen cities in the United States, including Nashville, where it will operate from an office on Church Street downtown.
I love this community, and I wanted to stay in Nashville but do something else, Martin said. This will provide me the opportunity to travel and be a part of something new and building something from the ground up.
Launch set for Aug. 20
The targeted launch for Al-Jazeera America, a new cable network headquartered in New York that intends to focus on U.S. news, is set for Aug. 20.
The Qatar-based company in December purchased former Vice President Al Gores Current TV for $500 million, prompting Al-Jazeeras American expansion.
Martin said the Nashville bureau probably would have a small staff, including himself, a producer, a photographer and freelance reporters.
Noting the absence of local affiliates of CNN, Fox News and MNSBC, he said plans are for the bureau to cover news about Nashville, Tennessee and the Southeast.
Its an American network for Americans, Martin said. Even though were Al-Jazeera, its not going to be like were doing foreign news. Its American news, and all the on-air talent are Americans.
Among other reporters joining Al-Jazeera America is former CNN anchor Soledad OBrien, who will be working as special correspondent for the show American Tonight.
Al-Jazeeras other new U.S. bureaus are in Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

The information in the May 15 article, "Textbook triggers review," is astonishing.
Good textbooks pose questions, provoke critical thinking and engender discussion and disagreement. Those who oppose continued use of this book - because of one question - are ideologically driven to make sure that only one point of view is permitted.
Students should have the opportunity to think this matter through for themselves. If balance is required, perhaps a companion question would help: "Is it a pattern of terror when soldiers of Israel's IDF repeatedly enter Palestinian homes in the middle of the night, conduct disruptive searches and take teenagers off to prison, without formal charges?"

Indianapolis � They needed a stop, and for once, actually got it.
But if Michigan wants to keep going, they better keep shooting. And scoring. Because they�re not going to be able to survive or advance very far in the postseason if their offense can�t carry the load.
Top-seeded Michigan escaped with a 64-63 victory over No. 9 Illinois in its Big Ten tournament opener Friday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, moving on to face Ohio State in Saturday�s semifinals.
And yet it was, as sophomore Caris LeVert admitted, �kind of a step back� for a team that�s still in the hunt for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Even in victory, that was probably true, as Illinois offered countless reminders of Michigan�s defensive shortcomings before coming up short on its own in the end.
�We�ve shown at times where we can really defend,� Michigan�s Nik Stauskas shrugged afterward, �and then we�ve shown times where we can�t defend at all.�
This time, it was much closer to the latter, as the Illini guards had little trouble getting dribble-drive penetration and getting to the rim. That led to too many layups, too many fouls � center Jordan Morgan picked up his fourth with 10 minutes to play � and a game that, in the end, was too close for comfort.
Even on the game�s final possession, the Illini got where it wanted to go, as Tracy Abrams drove past LeVert � �I thought the ball screen was coming,� LeVert said � and pulled up for a floater in the lane.
�When that ball was in the air, everybody kind of held their breath,� Michigan forward Glenn Robinson III said. �He got a great look at it.�
Luckily for Michigan, Abrams pulled the string on it and the ball was short off the rim. Unlike the baby-hook layup Morgan scored with 7.9 seconds left � �I�m not sure what you call that,� he laughed � to rescue the Wolverines.
�We needed that,� Morgan said, exhaling in the postgame locker room.
They did because their shots weren�t falling the way they usually do, stymied by an active 2-3 zone Illinois coach John Groce employed with great success after halftime. Right up until the final two possessions when he inexplicably switched back to a man-to-man defense and got his team beat in the process.
�Hindsight is always 20/20 on decisions like that,� Groce said.
Defense still needs work
But it was pretty clearly a mistake, even at the time, as Stauskas got to the foul line on the first possession, then hit Morgan rolling to the basket off a high screen on the final play.
Before that, Michigan had attempted just four two-point baskets the entire half. And though they did knock down some big 3-pointers � Derrick Walton�s made it 61-61 with 3:10 left � the Wolverines were 4-for-17 from beyond the arc in the half.
�They�re such a rhythm team,� said Groce, whose team lost by 31 at home to Michigan 10 days ago. �They�re so good on offense. � They execute as good as any team I�ve seen on film all year in the half-court.�
At the other end, it�s a far different story, though. While few teams can match the Wolverines offensive efficiency, Michigan�s conference-worst defense came in ranked 159th nationally in effective shooting percentage allowed.
�Everybody�s been doing the same thing against us lately,� Michigan coach John Beilein said. �They�re just taking advantage of the rules and drive it right at you.�
Or through you, as Illini guard Rayvonte Rice did to Spike Albrecht to give Illinois its first lead with 4:57 left. And then again to make it 63-61 with 2:33 left, weaving through LeVert and Morgan like they were pylons on his way to the hoop.
�We�ve got to do a better job of guarding their guards,� Beilein said. �It�s stuff we work on like crazy. But we didn�t do very well with it today.�
'Too many easy baskets'
In their defense, they did it as well as they could on one critical possession late, when Morgan and Walton dismantled a high ball screen and forced a shot-clock violation. But defensive possessions like those were the exception, not the rule.
Mind you, that old rule about defense winning championships doesn�t really apply in college basketball. Last year�s Michigan team was proof of that, in fact. But even that group found a way to get locked in en route to the Final Four, thanks largely to Mitch McGary creating havoc in the middle and vacuuming up opponents� misses.
This one�s still searching for something, or anything, really.
�Right now, we�re giving up way too many easy baskets,� Beilein admitted. �We�ve just got to keep working at it.�
And keep scoring, just to be safe.

The Raid: Redemption (2011) – Directed by Gareth Evans – Starring Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Donny Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhian, Pierre Gruno, Tegar Setrya, and Ray Sahetapy.
I had heard so much about how THE RAID was the greatest action movie in years that I actively resisted seeing it. Even when I decided a few weeks back I was going to do a run of action movie reviews once I finished the reviews for the upcoming ATOMIC REACTIONS: SCIENCE-FICTION MOVIES, VOLUME 1 collection, I placed THE RAID a few slots down in my Netflix queue. It was one of those odd bits of timing that sometimes happens that all of the movies ahead of THE RAID were out when my turn to get them came up, and so it was with some surprise that the highly-heralded Indonesian actioner arrived in my mailbox.
I'm glad it did.
THE RAID: REDEMPTION is a stunning action movie with a minimalist plot. I have all the respect for Roger Ebert in the world and he has every right to dislike THE RAID because it is "almost brutally cynical in its approach." Ebert writes that "there's obviously an audience for the film, probably a large one. They are content, even eager, to sit in a theater and watch one action figure after another pound and blast one another to death. They require no dialogue, no plot, no characters, no humanity. Have you noticed how cats and dogs will look at a TV screen on which there are things jumping around? It is to that level of the brain's reptilian complex that the film appeals. The Raid: Redemption is essentially a visualized video game that spares the audience the inconvenience of playing it," and I agree with that – to a point. There is little dialogue, little plot, the barest characterizations, and little humanity, and yet the film undeniably works for me.
Where Ebert sees the lack of humanity as a drawback, it actually works for me that this is such a bleak film with such thin characters. We get the all the characterization that I need to understand what's going on and I think more characterization would hurt this particular movie rather than helping it. There's a drug lord and his two lieutenants, one is the brawn and one is the brains. Do we need more? Not really. It almost feels like THE RAID is cheating when it introduces the plot twist that the brainy lieutenant is actually our main protagonist's brother.
Rama (Iko Uwais) is a young cop on a dangerous mission. As the film opens, we see him working out while his pregnant wife sleeps. I appreciate this approach because it doesn't treat action movie fans like idiots. We know the stakes Rama's job forces on him; perhaps fans of other genres would want more characterization in these scenes but I don't think showing us the loving young couple having breakfast or sex in the shower adds anything. The wife is simply present in order to contextualize Rama for us, giving him something to fight for beyond the mission at hand.
Don't get me wrong. Sometimes movies don't give us details and the end result is negative, but writer/director Gareth Evans's approach is minimalist, not absent. Maybe you prefer Faulkner to Hemingway (which is cool, I often prefer him, too) but just because Hemingway's sentences are shorter doesn't mean they worse. While Evans' approach to action is "more is more," in terms of characterization, he is definitely from the "less is more" school here, and he uses it to great effect. After that brief, opening sequence highlighting that Rama has a wife, we get some brief animosity between the cops in the van on the way to the apartment building where the drug lord is holed up, and then it's action-action-action for pretty much the next hour, non-stop.
Evans artfully builds in a slow-down moment at that point where we learn of the connection between Rama and Andi, the brainy lieutenant (Danny Alamsyah), and then some dissonance between the cop in charge of the mission and his superior: Sergeant Jaka (Joe Taslim) and Lieutenant Wahyu (Pierre Gruno). Jaka's role in the film is two-fold: 1) he calls on Wahyu, and 2) he's the sacrificial lamb to show us how bad-ass Mad Dog (Yayan Ruhian), the drug lord's bad-ass lieutenant is when he kills him in a really solid fight sequence.
One aspect of the film that I really liked was how, at the end, it was Andi and Rama who teamed up to take down Mad Dog. This wasn't a case where the single hero had to overcome a million foes, but rather where the villain was so powerful that it took two heroes (or, one hero and one anti-hero) to stop him. It's another great fight sequence, enhanced by the narrative's temporary unification of Rama and Andi.
I like the ending, too. Wahyu was never ordered to undertake this raid, as he was getting paid off by criminals to take this drug lord out, and he's captured by Rama. It's the walk out of the building that makes the ending of THE RAID so special, though. Rama tells Andi to come in with him, to give up the life of crime, but Andi says no, telling his brother that now that he's ascended to top of this apartment building and taken the position as head of this criminal enterprise, it's Andi who can protect Rama, while Rama cannot make the same promise to him.
In a narrative that doesn't bother with a whole lot of characterization, this moment is given greater impact. It also reifies the bleak nature of this world. There is no fairy tale ending. Rama gets sent back to his family with a dirty cop in tow, but the criminal organization keeps churning. It's the criminal that promises to protect, a clear symbol of how broken this society has become. Rama gets to survive, he gets an arrest, he gets to be a father to his child, but he does not get to affect real change in society.
Much like the film, it's a bleak and powerful ending.
In my movie watching lifetime, there have been two action movies that I rate above and beyond all others: Die Hard and Casino Royale. THE RAID isn't as good as either of them. Rama simply isn't as interesting as John McClane and the story is several hundred levels below the characterization of Casino Royale. This is an extremely good film, though, and if you like your action pure and your plot and characterization minimal, then there are few movies better than THE RAID: REDEMPTION.

Legislative Chairman Ken Jenkins looks on while Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino delivers his State of the County address at the Michaelian County Office Building in White Plains on April 7, 2011.
- Filed Under
The future of a host of legal battles former Westchester Board of Legislators Chairman Ken Jenkins launched against County Executive Rob Astorino's administration is up in the air after the recent power shift at the county board.
When a coalition of Republicans and Democrats took control of the board at the beginning of the year, the new leadership, with Michael Kaplowitz as chairman, got rid of the staff lawyer who had represented the board in many of the cases.
Now Jenkins is demanding outside counsel be hired to continue the cases, which touch on Playland, the county's contracts board, ...

- Permanent injury to the location in the brain being treated
- Vision loss
- Deafness
- Bleeding
- Nerve problems
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity
- Prior surgeries
- Prior radiation treatments
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Perform a neurological exam to see how well your nervous system is functioning
- Review your x-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, or other diagnostic test results
- Order additional tests if necessary
- Take medication or insulin to control diabetes
- Are allergic to IV contrast material—an injected substance that can make a tumor or other abnormality easier to see
- Are allergic to iodine or shellfish—iodine is present in both shellfish and contrast material
- Have a pacemaker or any other medical device implanted in your body
- Have eye or ear implants
- Have had any previous surgeries
- Have ever had trauma to the skull
- Suffer from claustrophobia
- Review your regular medications with your doctor. You may be asked to stop taking some drugs.
Arrange for someone to:
- Drive you to the treatment facility
- Drive you home after
- Stay with you during treatment
- Stay with you the following night
- If advised by your doctor, use a special shampoo.
- Do not use any hair creams or hair spray.
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Bring your regular prescription medicines with you to the hospital.
- Do not wear jewelry, make-up, nail polish, a wig, or a hairpiece.
- Remove any contact lenses, eyeglasses, or dentures.
- An IV line will deliver contrast material, medicines, and fluids.
- You will receive a mild sedative to help you relax.
- A local anesthetic may be injected to numb your scalp.
Description of Procedure
- Head frame placement—Local anesthesia will be injected into the front and back of your head to numb your scalp. A box-shaped, aluminum frame will be attached to your skull with special pins. This will keep your head from moving during treatment.
- Imaging—You will have a CT scan and/or MRI to locate the tumor. If you are being treated for an AVM, you may have a test called an angiography to locate the abnormal veins.
- Computerized dose planning—You will relax for about an hour while your doctors plan your treatment. When they are finished, you will lie down on a special couch. Your doctor will talk to you about the number of treatments you will receive and how long they will take. Your head frame will then be attached to a helmet full of small holes. Each hole will allow a single ray of radiation to target a specific part of your brain.
- Radiation delivery—The doctors and nurses will leave the room. Your couch will move into the treatment area. You might hear a click as the helmet locks into place. Your doctor will be able to see and hear you during the entire procedure. You will be able to talk to your doctor. You will remain still during the procedure and so will the machinery around you. You will not be able to see, feel, or hear the treatment. When treatment is complete, the couch will move back to its original position.
- Set-up—If you are being treated for a brain tumor, a special mask will be made to fit your head. No pins are needed to keep it in place. You will be given a CT scan, and possibly an MRI, with the mask in place. If you are being treated for a spinal tumor, a customized foam body cradle will be made instead of a mask. You will most likely have some small metal markers called fiducials implanted near the tumor. The markers will help guide the radiation beams during treatment. The fiducials are implanted during a short outpatient procedure. After they are in place, you will be given a CT scan.
- Treatment planning—You may be allowed to go home while the doctors finalize your treatment plan. Actual treatment may take place that same day or several days after the set-up phase.
- Treatment delivery—You will be fitted with your mask or body cradle and then lie down on the treatment table. X-rays will be taken before the treatment starts. After treatment begins, the robotic arm will move around you and administer radiation beams from many different angles. Sometimes the arm will stop and more x-rays will be taken.
After Procedure
- The head frame and IV line will be removed.
- Your head will be wrapped in gauze or small bandages will be placed at the pin sites.
How Long Will It Take?
- Radiation delivery can take up to 2 hours for cobalt-60-based treatment and LINAC-based treatments. Robotic radiosurgery treatments can take up to 3 hours.
- The total procedure usually takes 2-4 hours.
Will It Hurt?
- Anesthesia prevents pain at the pin sites if a head frame is used during treatment.
- You will feel some pressure as the head frame is attached.
- The treatment itself causes no pain.
- You may experience headaches or nausea a few hours after treatment. You will be given medicine to relieve any discomfort.
Post-procedure Care
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
- About 1 month after your procedure, your doctor will check your pin sites and do a neurological exam.
- CT scans or MRIs will likely be done sometime after the procedure to determine if treatment was effective. The number of scans and how often you get them may vary.
- If you were treated for an AVM, you will have a test called a cerebral angiogram 2 to 3 years after treatment. The test will determine if treatment was successful.
- In many cases, SRS treatments can be repeated, if necessary.
Call Your Doctor
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the pin sites
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medicines you were given after surgery. Or, nausea and/or vomiting that lasts more than two days after discharge from the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, irregular heart beat, or chest pain
- Severe headache
- Weakness, loss of balance
- Vision problems
- Seizures
- Any new symptoms, including numbness

On Friday, the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) released a new report identifying interventions that can help increase physical activity
in youth aged 3-17 years across a variety of settings. The primary audiences
for the report are policymakers, health care providers, and public health
professionals. APTA submitted comments in December 2012 on the draft report.
Physical Activity Guidelines for
Americans Midcourse Report: Strategies to Increase Physical Activity Among
Youth summarizes intervention strategies based on the evidence from
literature reviews and is organized into 5 settings where youth live, learn,
and play: school, preschool and childcare, community, family and home, and
primary health care.
Key findings of the report suggest that:
Other materials released by HHS include an infographic
highlighting opportunities to increase physical activity throughout the day and
a youth fact sheet summarizing the report's
recommendations for youth aged 6-17 years. More information can be found at www.health.gov/paguidelines/midcourse/.
APTA has long supported HHS' efforts to increase awareness about the
benefits of physical activity. It provided input on the 2008
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans related to the importance of considering physical activity needs

As the Millennium Series began their preperations for this upcoming weekend's season opener in Puget-Sur-Agens France, they arrived this morning to find an organizers worst nightmare - two fields of bunkers and large part of the netting system were damaged or completely destroyed beyond repair. Despite having security on site, person or persons were able to carry out this unfathomable act.

The buildup leading to the PSP World Cup is nothing short of amazing every year. For the top teams in each division the PSP season is a year-long journey with the focused goal of winning events and even a season title. For most teams this journey starts in January after a break between the previous year's World Cup and the year ending holidays—and once that journey begins the breaks are few and far between. For most it's training during the week and team practices on weekends—and the closer you get to the world Cup, the more intense the training gets.

Shia LaBeouf Gossip
Shia LaBeouf gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Shia LaBeouf: Performance Artist strikes again
Paul Morigi /Getty Images
Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf strikes again! The last time we heard from The Beef he was spitting mad rhymes and aggressively bullsh*t excuses at his girlfriend. Full Story
Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green over
Another exclusive for US Weekly - Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are done. According to a source for the magazine, "they decided on it six months ago". Not sure if these two are f-cking with their separation timeline the way Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner did. Full Story
Shia words on video
Shia LaBeouf and girlfriend Mia Goth were in Germany a few days ago. They were caught on camera in a fight as they were exiting a cab. She was pulling on his bag, asking him to stay. He ended up getting into a car without her with some random sketchy locals who filmed him ranting about how she pushed him to that point. Full Story
MC Shia
Shia LaBeouf freestyle rapping, have you seen the video yet? If no, please enjoy. If yes, please enjoy again. I've enjoyed it several times already: He raps at the speed of a turtle but still. When he's not plagiarising and, you know, punching people, I can't help it. Full Story
Actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf frustrates me. On the one hand, I think he's a very talented actor. On the other, he's a plagiarist with a plagiarist's obnoxious "everyone steals because art" lack of understanding of what appropriation and repurposing Full Story
Brad kisses Shia
Mike Coppola/ Getty
Shia LaBeouf's hero, Brad Pitt John Wayne, greeted him with a kiss to the hand last night at the New York premiere of Fury. As far as we know, the event happened without incident. No drunken outbursts, no fights, no plagiarism. Would Shia dare when Brad's around? It's an interesting reaction – the response to authority, or perceived authority. Full Story
Shia tells a good story
Shia LaBeouf. I mean, it's Shia LaBeouf. You can describe him in all kinds of ways – most of them negative: troubled child star, plagiarist, stunt queen, belligerent, a very bad drunk, etc, etc, etc. He's also a good actor. And an entertainer. That's the quality that got him discovered, and I've always said this about Shia LaBeouf – he's watchable, when he's right it's the right kind of charisma; he has It. Full Story
The "unreachable" Brad Pitt…with Shia as his wingman
Brange was not photographed at the Clooney wedding. Some are hoping they were there, just incognito. But you know what? It's not like they hang out a lot. You see Clooney with Damon, Krasinski, Murray… Since Oceans, you don't see him with Brad. Their friendship has been overblown… maybe because of wishful thinking. Full Story
Michelle Williams was performing
When Shia LaBeouf lit up a smoke in the theatre and, allegedly, started bopping people on the back of the head during Cabaret. As discussed previously, LaBeouf was arrested last night. Here's Michelle Williams in Brooklyn yesterday before the show heading into a waiting black car, presumably on her way to work. Full Story
Shia LaBeouf muzzled
Shia LaBeouf attended a performance of Cabaret in New York last night. He was smoking in the theatre. Also being aggressive with other patrons. To the point where they had to call the cops who cuffed him and took him to the police station. Where he allegedly verbally abused them ("I'll f-ck you up!") and spat at them so they ended up muzzling him. Full Story
Brad Pitt's Fury
The first full trailer for Fury, starring Brad Pitt, Michael Pena, Logan Lerman, and Shia LaBeouf was released today. I can rarely sit through a war movie – and I suppose that's how you're supposed to feel. But…not to sound like an insensitive c-nt… Brad Pitt's character's name is Wardaddy. Full Story
Shia still has a girlfriend
Sarah calls him a "thief and a liar". Well this lying thief was out in LA yesterday and he still has a girlfriend, Mia Goth. Goth is young. Just 19, at the most 20. Which makes sense. Any woman more mature might not be able to handle his sh-t. Full Story
If you thought Shia LaBeouf's behavior in Berlin was the pinnacle of how weird he can get, guess what, you were wrong. Because now, immediately on the heels of whatever that was in Berlin, The Beef is back in Los Angeles, where he is doing something he claims is performance art but which I call stunting. Full Story
Shia LaBeouf is still a thief and a liar
Remember when Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind, grew a big bushy beard and said he was going to be a rapper? And everyone was like, "Whatever, weirdo," and laughed at him, and then he was all, Wait, wait, it's a joke! Then he made that "documentary" with Casey Affleck, I'm Still Here, and claimed it was meant as some kind of commentary on celebrity and popular culture. Full Story

Nullum Gratuitum Prandium

Threads merged to keep the conversation in one place.
My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment.
I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night. Time of your life, huh kid?
Just got back from spending an enjoyable evening with the folks from Angel's Envy at their pop-up bar where they were having their "pre-release" event for the AE Rye. In addition to sampling the new rye product, they served up some delicious cocktails made with standard AE and had some great finger foods (I am a full-blooded meat eater, but they had a knockout vegetarian taco) appropriately catered by a nearby restaurant named "Rye".
I made the drive to Louisville to sample the rye, because as many here know I love finished whiskies/whiskeys (I won't repeat the statement that put me in Kevin's Sampler Quotes thread). With that said, I was a little concerned about the anticipated $70 price point for this product and was not going to buy it before sampling it. For me, this one is a home run. Again, Lincoln, Wes, and Kyle have showed that they can produce a finished American whisky that can stand up in direct competition with the finished Scotches that I love. After tasting this rye, price is not an issue for me. It's only a few $$ more than the Balvenie Caribbean Rum Cask and is 100 proof vs 86 for the Balvenie (I'm glad that while this is meant to be a continuing product (though limited), they did not tone down the finish or the proof like they did with standard AE). I will take the opportunity in the future to do a side by side with the 2, but my initial impression is that the AE definitely holds its own with the Balvenie and may even surpass it. I know a lot of people don't like the price for a "young" rye (it is 7 1/2 years in wood), but when judged on taste - IF YOU LIKE HEAVILY FINISHED WHISKEY, I believe it stacks up well with the competition.
Good notes Tom, appreciate the insight.
Agreed. You sold me on giving this a try.
Like TomH, I visited the AE Pop Up bar last week. And WOW was I impressed. The company did a GREAT job hosting us and we had a great time. The new RYE is amazing, haunting even. I can't wait until this is available for purchase. I think this offering will change the way people think of whiskey!
My Ky Bourbon Trail...
Maker's Mark (Awesome renovation!)
Buffalo Trace
Woodford Reserve (Beautiful!)

Thanks TomH for your impressions.
I wanted to dismiss this as another LDI/MGP bastard whiskey. But then I tasted it, and wow - sweet (caramel and rock candy) intermixed with a light peppery rye spice (the minty-ness is def drowned out by the sweetness of the rum influence). Tom was right to compare it to the Balvenie Carribbean cask. Like Tom said, its a finished whiskey, but everything blends together magically (if you're into that sort of thing).
I was griping about the price on facebook and Kyle Henderson chimed in and provided a rationale for the price. He said that the finishing casks start as Pierre Ferrand Conac casks, and them become Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum casks. It sounds expensive, but I don't know much about cognac or rum, so...
He also said the price was going to be closer to $70.00 (at least in the KY region), which is still high, but a little less gouging.
It's really, really good, and I plan on getting a bottle even though it will eat up my bi-weekly whiskey budget. Hope this helps.

The Pentagons proposed 2015 budget, unveiled Monday, includes a surprise proposal to raise health care fees for active-duty family members which, if approved, would mark the first increases in health care costs for those beneficiaries since Tricare was established nearly 20 years ago.
Under the plan, the proposed fee increases expected to come in the form of higher deductibles and co-payments would affect both active-duty family members and retirees and their families.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel did not provide details on the proposals, but said they are designed to encourage Tricare beneficiaries to get health care from facilities and doctors who operate at lower cost to the government, such as military treatment facilities and preferred network providers.
We will ask retirees and some active-duty family members to pay a little more in their deductibles and co-pays, but their benefits will remain affordable and generous as they should be, Hagel said.
In addition to adjusting deductibles and co-pays for nearly all beneficiaries except active-duty members, Tricare beneficiaries also would see their Tricare options consolidated and their prescription co-payments increased.
Defense officials have said that when Tricare was established, beneficiaries paid for roughly 27 percent of their medical costs out of pocket, with DoD paying the rest.
But because no mechanism was built into the program to account for inflation, the steady rise of health care costs and the frozen enrollment fees and co-payment structure have led to beneficiaries today shouldering only about 11 percent of health care costs.
In an interview with Military Times, Defense Health Agency acting deputy director Al Middleton said the time might be right for Congress to approve minimal fee increases, given that the Pentagon has asked for increases each y ear since at least 2007.
Maybe, there is little more appetite for something a little bit more to take place, Middleton said.
Even medically retired service members and their families as well as survivors whose military sponsors died on active duty would see slight increases. While they would be exempt from the proposed annual enrollment fees and would pay a smaller share of the proposed co-payment increases, they still would see increases, according to Hagel.
Active-duty family members currently pay no enrollment fees for Tricare Prime, the DoDs managed health care program or Tricare Standard, a traditional fee-for-service program.
Under Prime, they must use either a military treatment facility or a network provider for primary care and get referrals for all specialty care.
Under Tricare Standard and Extra, active-duty family members in paygrades E-4 and below pay a $50 deductible for an individual or $100 for a family, while those in grades E-5 and above pay $150 for an individual and $300 for family.
When using a network provider, they also pay 15 percent of the negotiated fee after meeting their deductible; if they go to a non-network provider, they pay 20 percent of the allowable charge after meeting the deductible.
Military retirees pay annual enrollment fees for Tricare Prime of $273.84 for an individual and $547.68 for a family. They have a deductible of $300 for an individual and $600 for a family if they use the point of service option under Tricare Prime.
Under standard, they have a $150 deductible for an individual and $300 for a family, and pay 20 percent of the negotiated fee at network providers after meeting the deductible and 25 percent of the allowable charges at a non-network provider after meeting their deductible.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (9/16/13) – The Muhlenberg Marching Mustangs can likely relate to the Willie Nelson song "On The Road Again", after likely spending as much time in buses in route to contests this weekend as they spent on the field.
On Saturday, Sept 14, MCHS marching band performed at two separate band shows, first in Butler County Saturday afternoon, then at the Ohio County festival Saturday night. The MCHS brought home awards from each. In the early afternoon, at the Butler County Band Show, they placed second in class 5A and were Reserve Grand Champions. Later that evening, at the 52nd Annual Ohio County band show, they placed second in class 5A, were Reserve Grand Champions, tied for first place overall in Visual Performance and won Best Pit Crew. The name of their show this year is "A Woman Scorned."
Next up for the Marching Mustangs is Barren County on Sept 21st. This show is at Glasgow High School and is a preliminary and finals show. They take the field at 2:30 p.m. for the preliminary competition. The finals performance will be determined by the number chosen to compete later in the evening. The senior field commanders for the Marching Mustangs this year are Blair Hendrix, Deanna Oglesby and Cierra Lear.

LONDON — Efforts by Britain and France to forge a closer defense equipment partnership have been dogged by the awkward timing of political, funding and strategic issues since the two nations signed a wide-ranging defense treaty in 2010, according to the U.K.'s top defense procurement official.
"Part of the difficulty has been in integrating our work. For the first 12 months I was in post we were [unclear] about commitments to the equipment program, and having got to the position in spring 2012 where we had settled the program down, balanced it and funded those elements we wished to pursue, almost immediately the French went into their election cycle and then went to work on their [defense] white paper," said Bernard Gray, Britain's chief of defense materiel.
Gray, who directs the British MoD's 13 billion pound ($19.7 billion) equipment procurement and support effort, said the result was that "progress is not as swift as I am sure either of us would have wanted. Both of us want to do better but progress is difficult," he told an audience of industrialists and others at the International Institute of Strategic Studies here Feb 25.
A program to co-develop a helicopter-borne anti-ship missile has been the most public example of lack of progress on the industrial front.
Continuing delay by France over whether to back development of the MBDA Future Anti-Ship Guided Weapon (Heavy) has caused consternation in London. The delay in moving the program forward means the missile will not be ready to go into service onboard Royal Navy AW159 Wildcat helicopters in 2015.
The British MoD approved the business case for the weapon in January 2012 and even tried to make the French decision easier by offering to fund the early development work in return for Paris funding the back end of the program.
The British now face the embarrassment of fielding the helicopter without its main weapon.
Despite the difficulties, Gray said the U.K. and France maintain a good working relationship on a number of programs.
Finding a window of opportunity to make collaborative decisions is likely to continue to cause problems, and not just with France. Gray said the upcoming German elections would soon impact decision-making in Berlin.
"Understandingly, the French will want to take their time in getting their defense review right and that will take us further into 2013, by which time we start to head toward the next U.K. election. It's not just the U.K. and France, of course, there are issues where for example Germany will not be able to make decisions from about now until through to around Christmas because of their election cycle. It's genuinely a problem and I don't have a particularly good answer to it," Gray said.
The French white paper had been expected to be published in February but that has slipped. The French Navy wants to keep scarce funds for ships rather than a missile, as budgets are due to be cut, an industry executive has said.
The defense treaty signed by government leaders in November 2010 covered cooperation across military, nuclear and equipment fields in what was the most significant defense tie-up by Europe's two largest defense powers in more than 50 years.
Pierre Tran contributed to this report from Paris.

At least two people were injured, one critically, Saturday in a two-vehicle crash, according to the Wood County Sheriff's Department.
Tara Feltz, 27, of Nekoosa was traveling south on Highway S at the Portage County/Wood County line at about 2:36 p.m. when an eastbound vehicle, driven by a 17-year-old girl from Rudolph, failed to stop for a stop sign on Highway N, according to a sheriff's department release. Both vehicles came to a rest in the east ditch. Feltz's vehicle rolled onto its passenger side, according to the release.
The 17-year-old driver was ejected in the crash; a rear passenger in her vehicle was trapped and extricated by the Rudolph Fire Department and then transported by helicopter to Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield. The Stevens Point Fire Department ambulance transported Feltz and the 17-year-old driver to the Marshfield hospital, the release said.
Passengers in the eastbound vehicle included Corey Sprinkel, 18, of Rudolph and Kurtis Johnson, 18, of Rudolph, according to the news release.
Sprinkel was listed in critical condition Sunday afternoon; Feltz was treated and released according to a nursing supervisor at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital. Information on the others was not available Sunday.

IVINS - Even before some of them have moved in, neighbor has been pitted against neighbor in an Ivins subdivision where residents are protesting the actions of a developer.
Pickets in hand, protestors from the eight occupied homes in the otherwise empty Quail Cove subdivision stood outside Monday evening to dispute the construction of four new homes in the neighborhood they contend could drag down their property values and don't conform to the aesthetic guidelines outlined in the development's original Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs).

I would much rather have Dr. Yarnell attempting to define historic Calvinism than many other denominational employees I know. He is obviously familiar with the historical background of the so-called "5 points." However, I am disappointed by some of the imprecise language that his article employs because it results in giving the wrong impression about a few of the key points involved. Perhaps some of these were mere editorial mishaps. Be that as it may, the resulting misperceptions are no less unfortunate.
On "Total Depravity," Dr. Yarnell writes:
Calvinists at Dort viewed man not simply as sinful, but argued that every aspect of man's being is affected by sin, including his will.Though he does not directly say so, by the way this is stated Dr. Yarnell gives the impression that he disagrees with Dort's view and would favor thinking of man "simply as sinful." Yet, in Romans 3:10-18, Paul seems to go beyond that kind of simple declaration. His catena of Old Testament descriptors gives the impression that he is following the trail of a tornado that has ripped through human nature leaving nothing, including the will, untouched. Dr. Yarnell continues:
Some of Calvin's later followers went so far as to say that God actually decreed humans to become sinners. On the basis of Scripture (Romans. 3:23), Southern Baptists have consistently affirmed that all humans are sinners by nature and by choice, but have generally rejected extreme views of post-Dort Calvinists that man is incapable of moral action and that God is ultimately responsible for human sin (emphasis added)I know of no Calvinist in history who has ever argued that fallen man is "incapable of moral action." The argument that some Puritans, Jonathan Edwards, Andrew Fuller and others do make is that fallen man is incapable of any morally GOOD action (as God reckons goodness). Specifically, fallen, unregenerate man is incapable of seeking God, obeying His law or doing anything that is pleasing to Him. Isn't this exactly what the Bible teaches? "There is none who seeks after God" (Romans 3:11), "the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be" (Romans 8:7, emphasis added), "So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:8, emphasis added). By linking "man is incapable of moral action" and "God is ultimately responsible for human sin" Yarnell misconstrues a historical theological debate (about the nature of human inability) and links it to a conclusion that he unjustifiably deduces from a theology of decrees.
Dr. Yarnell may think that any doctrine of an eternal decree necessarily requires his conclusion, yet he surely knows--and should let his readers know--that the London Baptist Confession published in 1689 is representative of most Calvinists in its disavowal of that notion. Chapter 3 opens with these words:
God hath decreed in himself, from all eternity, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably, all things, whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as thereby is God neither the author of sin nor hath fellowship with any therein; nor is violence offered to the will of the creature, nor yet is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established; in which appears his wisdom in disposing all things, and power and faithfulness in accomplishing his decree (emphasis added-TA).In his treatment of unconditional election, Dr. Yarnell writes as if Calvin did not believe in "double predestination." Again, he does not actually say it, but attributes not only this position, but also the decree to elect to "followers of Calvin." Then he makes this unverifiable assertion:
Most Southern Baptists would counter that it is God's revealed will that all people experience salvation, citing texts such as: The Lord ... is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance (emphasis added [MY], 2 Peter 3:9) and God our Savior ... wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (emphasis added [MY], 1 Timothy 2:4). In response, Calvinists argue their system is part of God's "secret will," not His "revealed will." but the source of their knowledge of this "secret will" is unclear. [this quote ends with a footnote: "The Canons of the Synod of Dort," First Head, art. vi; John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, III.xxi-xxiii, especially III.xxiii.1; Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1994), 213-16, 683-84.]Anytime anyone speaks for "most Southern Baptists" you can be sure that they have forgotten the greatest malady facing Southern Baptist churches: AWOL church members. As long as we cannot find the majority of those on our rolls, it is impossible to speak for "most" of them. Call it a technicality, but it is one that I intend to continue to point out as long as denominational leaders continue to refuse to address it. Furthermore, Deuteronomy 29:29 is the source of my knowledge that God has a secret will: "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law."
Here is more:
The Baptist Faith and Message, in simple accord with Scripture, states: "Election is the gracious purpose of God" which "is consistent with the free agency of man." [footnote: Baptist Faith and Message, art. v.] Southern Baptists affirm diverse understandings of divine election (cf. Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:5-11), but most would likely reject the view of those Calvinists who narrowly define unconditional election as double predestination.But what about those Calvinists that see election as God's choice of specific sinners whom He intends to save? Or, as the Baptist Faith and Message puts it, "Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners" [emphasis added]. It would have helped his readers to see just how Calvinistic the Baptist Faith and Message is at this point if Dr. Yarnell had not omitted the rest of this sentence (which I put in bold) when speaking of election.
His treatment of "limited atonement" rightly notes that, according to Calvinism, "the atonement is limited to the elect." Then he makes this (unverifiable) assertion, "The vast majority of Southern Baptists would disagree with those who claim that Christ's death on the cross was only intended for "'the elect.'" Don't misunderstand my protest. He is probably right, but who knows?
It is in the section on "irresistible grace" that Dr. Yarnell makes makes some of his most unfortunate mistakes. First, he writes:
Arminians concluded that men could resist God's grace. The Calvinists of Dort disagreed, saying that God's grace is ultimately irresistible, that divine election works unfailingly, and that the depraved and fallen human will is not exercised in conversion. When the converted human will is later exercised, it is only because God "powerfully bends" it. [this is footnoted to "'Articles,' art. iv; 'Canons,' Third and Fourth Heads, arts. viii, x, xii;" emphasis added by TA]This is either a misunderstanding or an imprecise, and therefore misleading, expression of what Dort actually asserts. Article 16 of the Third and Fourth Heads of Doctrine says this:
But as man by the fall did not cease to be a creature, endowed with understanding and will, nor did sin which pervaded the whole race of mankind, deprive him of the human nature, but brought upon him depravity and spiritual death; so also this grace of regeneration does not treat men as senseless stocks and blocks, nor take away their will and its properties, neither does violence thereto; but spiritually quickens, heals, corrects, and at the same time sweetly and powerfully bends it; that where carnal rebellion and resistance formerly prevailed, a ready and sincere spiritual obedience begins to reign; in which the true and spiritual restoration and freedom of our will consist. Wherefore unless the admirable author of every good work wrought in us, man could have no hope of recovering from his fall by his own free will, by the abuse of which, in a state of innocence, he plunged himself into ruin (emphasis added).Dr. Yarnell confuses regeneration with conversion, something that careful Calvinistic theologians would protest strongly. Regeneration initiates conversion. That is, it brings forth the fruits of repentance and faith in the sinner's heart and mind. Yarnell's mistake at this point is even more problematic when he misstates what the Baptist Faith and Message says about "salvation" (rather than "regeneration"). He writes:
Avoiding this concept of irresistible grace, the Baptist Faith and Message states that salvation is a "change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ," and adds: "Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace." [this is footnoted to: Baptist Faith and Message, art. iv.a; emphasis added by TA]But look at what the Baptist Faith and Message actually says:
Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God's grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace (emphasis added).Just as regeneration and conversion are not synonyms, neither are regeneration and salvation. Rather, salvation is a more comprehensive term that includes regeneration (as well as justification, adoption, sanctification, etc.) as a constituent part. This distinction is vital to a clear understanding of what Calvinism does and does not teach. Furthermore, as the Baptist Faith and Message's statement stands, it actually affirms effectual calling (or "irresistible grace") by asserting that regeneration is "a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ." In other words, regeneration creates faith and repentance in the sinner. It is of such a nature that when it works in a sinner's life, that sinner "responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ." Dort describes this response by saying that "a ready and sincere spiritual obedience begins to reign."
Some may accuse me of quibbling over minor details in an article that, in some respects, has much to commend it. However, I agree with the Puritan Richard Rogers who, when criticized for being too precise, responded, "Sir, I serve a precise God." When representing the views of others, especially when writing about issues that are important, controversial and often misunderstood, it behooves us to be as careful as possible. Lack of precision mars Dr. Yarnell's article. Consequently, where it could have greatly helped clarify all of the the issues that it addressed, it may unfortunately wind up confusing uninformed readers almost as much as it properly instructs them.
