While built-in mirroring options exist nowadays, AirParrot Remote makes that AirParrot software useful again by allowing you to control it from your phone. Advertisement With AirParrot Remote you can build playlists of different media and control what being mirrored from your phone. You can also control the mouse and keyboard on your computer from the AirParrot Remote app. Basically, it makes it so you can start casting media from your computer, leave the room, then control it all from your phone. It ends up being a pretty nice way to control media that you're casting from your phone, albeit a bit expensive considering it's $6.99 for the iOS app and $12.99 for the desktop app. Still, in our tests in worked great, so if this is a niche you're looking to fill, AirParrot does it really well. If you're curious about how it works, 9to5Mac's demo video above walks you through how it works.AirParrot Remote ($6.99) | iTunes App Store via 9to5MacAirParrot ($12.99) | via 9to5MacThorin firstname.lastname@example.com@kingthorSenior Writer, LifehackerReplyLeave a reply

Naruto realises that he can't answer a single one of the nine questions that are given. Although Sakura is able to, she recognises that the exam is far too difficult for the average genin. Combining this with the fact that they will not be disqualified until they are caught cheating five times, Sasuke and the other participants (except for Naruto) realise that the true object of the test is to gather information without being caught. As the examinees begin using their abilities to look at others' papers, some are eliminated. Naruto begins to grow worried when Hinata, who is sitting next to him, offers to let him copy off her paper.

Image sensor
Total megapixels*
A megapixel (MP or Mpx) is one million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels in an image, but also to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays. For example, a camera that makes a 2048 × 1536 pixel image typically uses a few extra rows and columns of sensor elements and is commonly said to have "3.2 megapixels" or "3.4 megapixels", depending on whether the number reported is the "effective" or the "total" pixel count (as opposed to the 2048 × 1536 = 3,145,728 finished image pixels).
Sensor type*
A sensor is a convertor than measures a physical quality (light, temperature etc.) and displays this electronically on a device.
Optical sensor size
Optical sensors are electronic detectors that convert light, or a change in light, into an electronic signal. They are used in many industrial and consumer applications e.g. lamps that turn on automatically in response to darkness. Optical sensors come in many sizes.
Lens system
Optical zoom*
Indicates the optical zoom capacity, which is the number of times that the picture can be enlarged with the optics of the camera.
Digital zoom*
Indicates the digital zoom capacity, the number of times that the picture is enlarged thanks to digital technology.
Image stabilizer*
This camera function compensates for slight shaking movements caused by an unstable position and ensures smooth footage even in suboptimal conditions.
Focal length range (f-f)
Measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length; that is, it bends the rays more strongly, bringing them to a focus in a shorter distance.For an optical system in air, the effective focal length (f and f′) gives the distance from the front and rear principal planes (H and H′) to the corresponding focal points (F and F′).
4.1 - 41 mm
Display diagonal*
Size of the display for this product, measured diagonally, usually in inches.
5.08 cm (2")
The description of display that can includes display type, resolution, size etc.
Display resolution
The number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels: for example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. The higher the number of pixels, the sharper the image.
960 x 220 pixels
Photo effects
Different effects that you can use to modify photos after they have been taken, such as colour filters.
Art, Mirror, Mosaic, Sepia
Colour of product*
The colour e.g. red, blue, green, black, white.
Maximum video resolution*
This is the maximum resolution of video images. Resolution is a measure of the degree of detail visible.
720 x 576 pixels
Video formats supported
The type of video formats that can be used by this device.
Analog signal format system
The supported protocols for exchanging analog signals.
Maximum frame rate
This is the maximum frame rate, also known as frame frequency and frames per second (FPS). It is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to film and video cameras, computer graphics, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS) and is also expressed in progressive scan monitors as hertz (Hz).
25 fps
Built-in microphone
Microphone that is found inside the product.
Built-in speaker(s)
The device contains speaker(s) to produce sound.

COLUMBUS - Starting Monday, Ohio Lt. Gov. Maureen O'Connor will take a leave of absence from her dual role as director of public safety so that she can concentrate on her campaign for state Supreme Court.
The Republican is vying for the seat to be vacated by Justice Andy Douglas, a Toledo Republican. Her Democratic opponent is Hamilton County Municipal Judge Tim Black.
"I am extremely proud of our accomplishments at the Department of Public Safety and look forward to rejoining those efforts [on Nov. 6]," said Ms. O'Connor.
She will continue to serve as lieutenant governor, as well as in her highly visible, post-Sept. 11 role as chairwoman of the state security task force. The move will mean a total salary reduction for the lieutenant governor of about $8,600 over the two months.
"We're not surprised," said Kimberly Wood, a spokeswoman for Judge Black. "This is the fourth job she's quit to run for another office. Judge Black is the experienced judge and she's the career politician."
Thomas J. Stickrath, assistant director of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, will serve as acting director in her absence, but his salary has not been set. He is currently paid $99,590 a year.

Guest Speaker?Posted Tuesday, September 23, 2008, at 7:27 PM
I am a recent alumnus of the Pittsburg State Pride of the Plains Marching Band. In fact last year was my final year, I played sousaphone and had a great time. Not only did I play in the band for five years, I also got to march with two of my brothers.
That being said, I received a phone call today asking if I would be the alumnus speaker at this year's Band Banquet in November. I have not yet made my decision and here is why. I have some issues with the director of the band. He said some things to me that did not make me a happy camper. What was said is not relevant to my decision. I had never had an issue with him until my final semester with the band. My dilemma lies in the fact that I know I am enough of a man to put that behind me conduct myself in a professional and dignified manner, but I am not looking forward to the possibility of that awkward feeling. Being ask makes me feel very honored. I had the feeling that while I was there, I was well liked but once I left nobody cared anymore. This sort of makes me feel a little bit better about the situation. I don't know if I was the first choice or not. To be honest, I am honored to be asked. I told the individual that called me that once they had the date set, then to ask me again. This was for two reasons ... one, I wanted to know so that I would know if I needed to take off of work or not, and two, so that I would have some time to think about it. I'm looking for advice, what do you think? Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] I will have you know that I have not yet received a phone call telling me what the date is. Thanks for reading and offering your opinion. -- Posted by FST_Pommier on Tue, Sep 30, 2008, at 2:15 PM
If you have to put this much thought into accepting this honor maybe you should just bow out. I'm sure Whittin found your thoughts interesting. It's sad that you let one semester overshadow the previous 4 1/2 years of your band experience. GO GORILLAS!!!!!! -- Posted by PSUalum on Wed, Oct 1, 2008, at 2:32 PM
PSUalum, I am leaning toward accepting the invitation, however I have not yet been phoned again. I just thought that maybe I could put my thoughts out there in case anybody else had ever been in the same situation. My previous time was not spoiled. Marching Band was the only thing that I enjoyed more than the game itself. I had an amazing experience that has done many things for me. If it weren't for the marching band, I wouldn't have met my fiance. I appreciate your comments and thank your for responding. I will see your "GO GORILLAS!!!!!!" and raise you a "Beat Northwest!!!" -- Posted by FST_Pommier on Wed, Oct 1, 2008, at 6:32 PM
And THOSE are the things that you take back to Pitt and talk about,inspire others. The game wouldn't be the same without the Pride of the Plains Marching Band and that always entertaining student cheering section!!!! For others that read this, if you have not taken a Saturday afternoon to attend a PSU football game and enjoy some tailgating you need to. It's a great time!!!!! -- Posted by PSUalum on Thu, Oct 2, 2008, at 8:35 AM
I have to admit that I told people when I left, that I would be back to go to all of the games. I honestly have never really tailgated at a PSU football game. I now live in Nevada and I just can't make it to Pitt all the time. Remember the game at Arrowhead when there was a group of guys who sang the national anthem before the game and there were fireworks and the whole shootn' match? Well...I was one of those guys singing. That was one of the greatest feelings I have ever felt in my life. -- Posted by FST_Pommier on Thu, Oct 2, 2008, at 3:36 PM

Bisou Nail Lounge
The technicians at Bisou Nail Lounge go above and beyond to create works of nail art using gel paint, jewels, and glitter polish. But before intricate designs of butterflies and Gary Busey on a steed are handcrafted, digits are refreshed with organic and eco-friendly products during mani-pedis. A volcanic clay mask and Dead Sea salt scrub help to purify the skin while cabernet grape extract oil and the salon's own line of organic coca butter nourish and moisturize. Harsh chemicals are also exempt from Bisou's footsoaks, enhanced with limes, rose petals, and mint leaves floating in a non-whirlpool, stainless steel bowl, and UV-gels from Bella Forma, Calgel, Bio Sculpture, or Crystal Nails provide chip-resistant polish that is acid-free. The salon's earth-friendly ways are also showcased during Nova eyelash extension services as technicians carefully use a formaldehyde-free adhesive to adhere tree-sized extensions to existing lashes.
Bisou's attention to details can also be seen in the intimate salon's décor, a country French theme complete with pale pink wall colors, a gold chandelier, and plush, floral-covered furnishings.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 2
Since the 107th Congress, they've lined-up to block a succession of bills. With HR503 passed in the House in May, 2006, S311 was successfully blocked from getting a vote in the Senate.
In the 108th Congress, the new version of the bill (S727) was also blocked from having a vote by Larry Craig prior to his leaving office. The strategy then—having a disgraced lawmaker conduct the Agriculture Committee's dirty business—worked well. Craig paid penance by refusing to give unanimous consent to S727, proving that a man arrested for soliciting sex in an airport bathroom in Minneapolis can screw horses all the way from Canada to Mexico.
Two years earlier, Senator Conrad Burns upended the legislative process with a last-minute sleight-of-hand. I'm speaking of the language that Burns slipped onto the 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Bill Conference Committee Report that overruled key sections of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. The "Burns Amendment" could not be debated and committee reports can't be amended, so it remained in force through three successive bills, when it could be stripped out. In the interim, untold thousands of wild horses and burros were slaughtered.
In 2010, the Senate Appropriations Committee's tactic for keeping 100,000 U.S. horses in the slaughter pipeline was the much-heralded GAO report.
Requested by Max Baucus, the GAO report promised to examine "(1) the effect on the U.S. horse market, if any, since domestic slaughter for food ceased in 2007; (2) the impact, if any, of market changes on horse welfare and on states, local governments, tribes, and animal welfare organizations; and (3) challenges, if any, to USDA's oversight of the transport and welfare of U.S. horses exported for slaughter."
The GAO has long been respected for its objectivity, but the report showed early signs of bias. To begin with, its publication date was repeatedly missed, stalling the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act from being discussed and voted on outside of committee.
Then, in January, 2011, Charlie Stenholm announced to attendees at the Las Vegas "Summit of the Horse" conference, that the GAO's findings would prove useful to the horse-slaughter cause. Four months later, on June 11, the long-overdue report did just that.
GAO Report Ignores Key Data
Paid for by U.S. taxpayers, the GAO report confirmed what many horse slaughter opponents had anticipated: It failed to analyze any data running contrary to the horse-slaughter lobby's position.
On the matter of examining (1) the effect on the U.S. horse market, if any, since domestic slaughter for food ceased in 2007; and (2) the impact, if any, of market changes on horse welfare and on states, local governments, tribes, and animal welfare organizations, the GAO report failed to include available data showing:
- no change in the number of U.S. horses slaughtered in Canada and Mexico as a result of the 2007 plant closures, undermining the horse-slaughter lobby's claim that the closures had caused an increase in "unwanted horses" and abandonment
- the slaughter plants closed in 2007 were foreign-owned, so no loss in profits accrued to American operators
- encouragement of overbreeding by the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), which flooded a newly recessionary market, lowering the floor on horse prices and sending 70,000 Quarter Horses to slaughter in 2010
- the recession's impact on the rising cost of feed and horse care as well as lower profits for breeders
- Dallas Crown's 2004 tax return showing only $5.00 in taxes paid
- only a few low-wage jobs created by the slaughter industry
- extensive waste treatment and health-safety problems resulting in lower property values and businesses resistant to relocating within the community
- a rise in horse theft and property crimes in communities with slaughter plants
- the substantial local government resources required to try and regulate plant operations
In regard to examining the challenges, if any, to USDA's oversight of the transport and welfare of U.S. horses exported for slaughter the GAO report also failed to reference the 900-page USDA report released in 2008 under the Freedom of Information Act, which demonstrated the USDA's failure to:
- regulate transport within U.S. borders, as proven by USDA photos graphically showing extensive injuries, deaths and inhumane treatment of horses transported to the Beltex and Dallas Crown slaughter plants
- oversee "owner/shipper" documentation ensuring humane transport, since this is administered through an honor system, leaving kill buyers to fill out their own paperwork
- penalize or revoke the licenses of any violators or collect millions of dollars owed in fines
- identify or penalize any specific individuals for neglecting, starving and abandoning their horses on public lands
- track horses that had been administered drugs (such as Phenylbutazone) banned in animals slaughtered for human consumption, and keep them from being slaughtered and sold to unsuspecting European and Japanese consumers
Instead, the GAO report enabled the pro-slaughter industry message to shift the blame away from individuals who'd blocked so many humane bills to those who'd worked hard for their passage. At the same time, it offered the media a powerful tool for misleading the American public on the real humane, environmental, economic and food safety issues involved.

Lycopersicon esculentum. Plant produces good yields of large pink pear shaped tomato. It is unlike any other paste tomato as it has a fabulous flavor. Excellent making thick sauce and paste. Does well in adverse weather including brutal heat and drought. A heirloom variety from New Zealand. Indeterminate.
Solanaceae Lycopersicon esculentumJapanese Beetle
Popillia japonica
These pretty blue green beetles can become quite a plague in some years, though they tend to be more of a pest of ornamentals than vegetables. They do eat some vegetable crops though, including strawberries, eggplant, pepper and potato. Fortunately for western gardeners they only occur east of the Mississippi river.
The easiest way to control Japanese Beetles is to physically remove the adults by knocking them into a bucket of soapy water (if there are a lot of them you might try laying down a sheet and shaking the plants). It is a good idea to remove any adults you see, as feeding beetles may send out signals that attract other beetles. If they become a real problem you could use floating row covers to keep them off your plants. Parasitic nematodes and Milky spore disease can be used to kill larvae in the ground, but they can fly well and may travel up to 5 miles. You might also use rotenone spray. Pheremone traps are sometimes promoted as a solution, but it's been found that they commonly attract more beetles to the garden than they actually catch.

I spoke with Arnie last fall and he told me that they aren't breeding Keno and hadn't even gotten his clearances at that point. They do, however, have a younger half brother named Suncrest Winter Rye that did very well in the derby and quals and has a couple of am placements. Very nice-looking, dark yellow. I like him a lot. Sired by Oatie out of a Quasi bitch if I remember correctly.

Ryley is Linda's dog and she put about 30 + derby points on him, and he is now QAA and might even have a couple of AA points....but then last fall Keno wasnt a DH winner either...Oatie was one of my favorites, would have like a dog from him from never seemed to get the right connections to suit our needs

The SFX online interview with Steven Moffat continues today, with more contradiction of statements by a certain previous Doctor Who showrunner and thoughts on the new Doctor and companion combination of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.
Moffat also gives his opinion on writing comedy and horror, and the similarities between the two, citing this as a reason why the presence of 4 comedy writers on the new series isn't especially relevant.
"Comedy is a fantastic discipline – good comedy writers are just good writers full stop, because comedy, believe me, is just harder. Every line has a point, every scene has a point. In the case of comedy it's just to be funny. Funny writers are good at writing scary, because they know how to deliver a punchline.
"So no, there's no particular ambition towards comedy writers, but look at those comedy writers – those are just great writers full stop.â€
With a list made up of:
Steven Moffat
Mark Gatiss
Toby Whithouse
Simon Nye
Chris Chibnall
Richard Curtis
Gareth Roberts
…it might be argued that they're all comedy writers – Whithouse's Being Human is known for its humour and he's a rising star on the comedy circuit, while Chris Chibnall wrote Torchwood's Cyberwoman…

I certainly wasn't expecting the Upton brothers to play for us, but I had hopes for it. The Schierholtz comment was somewhat sarcastic. I mean if he can do what he did last year vs RHP and Hairston does his thing vs LHP that's certainly a useful platoon. I just don't see anything that shows he can do it again, but if he can it's useful. Although I would have rather we signed Bourne and had DeJesus/Hairston in RF. That way we only have 1 platoon. I'm not saying the 2 platoon thing is bad, but it's not ideal. It's a little too gimmicky for my taste. Especially since we have the payroll to get starting caliber players on the field. I'd rather have 1 player that can do the work of 2 people. Not saying the 2 platoons in the OF can't/won't work, but it's just not ideal for me.
Just put it together off the top of my head. I just don't know how much other teams are going to value Soriano or Vitters, so it's hard to put together a trade involving the two when it is so uncertain. I don't think it is a massive rip off either though. Chisenhall and Brantley could be very valuable players, but I highly doubt we'd get both or trade Wood at this point.
Go Sori Go!
Expecting 2 platoon situations to work well is going against the odds. In 2008 the Edmonds/Johnson platoon worked great but typically it is having 2 inferior players trying to equal 1 good every day player. I would like to see a couple long term solutions added over these stop gap additions.
Soriano, Wood, Lake and Watkins to Cleveland for Cabrera, Dillon Howard+ fodder?

The A's ran two platoons just last year at 3B and LF, if not more.
Platoons have a bad image, but if you can "create" a player that OPS's around .800 on the year for $5-6M, you're doing something right. It's all about allocation of resources. Spending less on effective platoons allows you to spend the big bucks on difference makers elsewhere. Platoons are probably one of the current market inefficiencies.
Sometimes platoons get irrational hate, but sometimes people get a little too excited just plugging in a guy's splits. In a platoon situation, both players will probably do worse than their half of the split if they were playing full time.
Not sure if this is directed at me or not. I don't hate platoons. I just thought having 2 platoons in the OF was rather odd. Although you might be able to consider it a deep OF. I'd much rather have one 3 win player than two 1.5 win players though, but I know platoons certainly have their place.
I really don't like anything the Indians have so if the Cubs have to pay almost the entire contract i rather keep Soriano. I know he is old but he is coming of a good year and he isn't blocking anybody of importance. If someone is willing to pay the money that's a different story but that won't happen.

I think platoons are great but you can only do 1 or 2 tops with the limited bench spots on a 25 man roster. I think if mlb ever goes with a 40 man roster for a full season rather than just September platoons would probably become the norm at most positions.

Review: Kilchoman (Summer 2010 Release)
January 25th, 2011Kilchoman (Summer 2010 Release), 46%, $70
This young distillery's fourth release, aged entirely in bourbon barrels. (This is the first one available in the U.S.) The two previous releases that I tasted and reviewed (the inaugural release and the Autumn 2009 release) were finished in sherry casks. I miss the sherry, to be honest. I think it softened the whisky, added a new dimension, and perhaps even masked some of the youth. Still, this is a very nice effort: brisk, vibrant, and bracing, with plenty of raw peat smoke and tar, along with pear, citrus, vanilla, licorice root, bourbon barrel char, clove, bitter chocolate, and suggestions of olive brine and high-end mescal.
Advanced Malt Advocate magazine rating: 85
47 Responses to "Review: Kilchoman (Summer 2010 Release)"
have not tasted this one but have tasted the earlier versions and suspect the loss of sherry cask influence will be significant change –
Got a bottle of this.
It's pretty good, but I think I should've held out for the 2010 Winter release. I tried a cask-strength pre-release of that at Whisky Show London and it was quite a bit better.
Still, Kilchoman's good little distillery – reminds me much of young Ardbeg…
I have one of these, and I think the score of 85 is about right. I like it, and it obviously represents Islay well. Nothing against Bunnahabhain, but I'd be dissapointed if a new distillery opened on Islay and tasted more like that than the other Islays. I love that we can taste it as it matures along the way, too.
I very much enjoyed the dram; however, I don't like the price as it is for such a young bottle.
I have the Autumn release and the summer release and I have tasted the Spring release.
I agree with you John, I miss the sherry. There are notes of new make in this one that were masked by the sherry. The others, in a blind tasting, I would probably have gave them at least 10 years old, but this one taste like a young whisky. A good young whisky, but with a lack of maturity. Can't wait to taste their first 10 years old !!! -
This is the first time I have seen what Kill-my-wallet-man will cost in the USA. Looks like another personal boycott until the price becomes more reasonable.
Anyone know the UK price and if it's the equivalent after exchange rate?
it is
The UK price at Loch Fyne Whiskies is £45.80 Including VAT at 20% and I agree that their prices are too high.
I feel like boycott might be the wrong term. would you buy it if it came in a oak bottle?
In holland I paid 45 euro for the spring release. And found that real value for money because the whisky is excellente. Bought another bottle
to be opened in ten years for comparison with the ten or twelve Kilchoman.-
E. Meijer, I also bought the the first three bottlings in NL and even with the exchange rate to USD I was very happy with my purchases. Did you happen to buy in Amersfoort?
No George, bought it in Leiden at the Druiventuin. You can also order at whiskysite.nl. These guys have the greatest deals.
Tried the Autumn 2009 at the Dell last May. LIked it very much. I like this one better (somebody had to say it). The bourbon cask suits me better. Just ordered the Winter 2010 (another bourbon) and can't wait.
For a 3 years old to earn an 85 here is impressive.
True, although young whiskies *can* be excellent. The BBR 4 1/2 YO sherried Ledaig is worth a good 90 points if you ask me!
Serge thinks so too…
At this price, it is either a bit more, or a bit less than the standard Lagavulin 16, depending on where you shop. So you get a few more proof and the novelty factor, vs a fully aged dram. Has anybody had a chance to compare the two, or with Ardbeg 10 for that matter?
Yep. Although I don't have any notes.
But I'm sure I could write some (it's Burn's Night after all!)
Suffice to say the Laga 16 won! But, then again, it wins against most malts!
That said, if Kilchoman give it another 7 years and do some good cask maintenance then it will be a better competition.
Like I said before, I find Kilchoman quite Ardbeg-y so hope that with a bit of age it might pick up the complexity of Ardbeg. Which would be nice – might keep them on their toes…
If whiskys are like children, comparing a pre-schooler to a high school junior is, well, just wrong.
As far as 7 years from now, don't we hope that Lagavulin and Ardbeg (and the rest) will also be better than they are today? But then I have to consider the bloggers that say the whisky of today isn't as good as they remember from the 70s and 80s. So where does that put us when this youngster graduates from high school?
And, while I'm at it, I don't want Kilchoman to be like Ardbeg or Lagavulin. If it were, then what's the point of opening a new distillery?
As Ardbeg is different from Lagavulin, Kilchoman will be different. The hopes are that it will be as good as Ardbeg or Lagavulin.
Instead of only "as good as," how about better than?
I'm with Red A on the Summer 2010 bettering Lagavulin 16. And the 1994 D.E. too. Close your eyes Diageo; I don't want you to know what I'm about to say. The 2010 Lagavulin 12 might be the best Islay whisky of the year (I'm not saying for sure; I haven't tasted Corryvreckan yet.)
Agree with much of that: comparing a 3YO with a 16YO is rather unfair. Personally I think Kichoman should release as a 10YO. I spoke with some people from the distillery and I do know that they are sitting on some stocks and are planning to get up to a 'standard' age. Perhaps they should've gone down the Daftmill route and said "not until it's ready". Then again, they have costs to cover.
To reply to two-bit cowboy, I find Kilchoman to be Arbeg-a-like (more so than like Laphroaig, Bowmore, Lagavulin, Caol Ila, etc), but not that it's a *carbon copy*. For instance, although the peat comes through like Ardbeg (not surprising – Kilchoman get Port Ellen maltings to peat to the same specs as Ardbeg) it lacks the mocha and maple syrup on the finish that I associate with Ardbegs.
Finally, I tried the 2010 Laga 12 @ Whisky Show London, and whilst I thought it was very good, I was drinking it against the new Brora 30, and 10th release Port Ellen (which I thought were absolutely brilliant) – so perhaps not a fair compo. Then again it's often that way at shows…
The Corryvreckan is excellent (as if there hasn't been enough praise heaped upon it yet!).
Mr Claw. Question.
Do you think Kilchoman guys (as a small farm distillery, with a low production… so not a lot of bottles produced on each batch) really think they should keep their barrel in order to sell a older cask (10yo…) as all their batches are already sold as soon as they come to market ? I think for that moment they need to make money fastly just to be able to expend their business.
In another way, i would not follow a distillery on a single type of bottling (means a 3yo whisky, sherry or bourob matured…) There's so much stuff out there, why did i stick to a single bottling ?
I have great respect for Lagavulin (for exemple) but they didn't make much expressions… 16yo, DE, 21, 25 etc… I think a good way to keep ur place in the business is to experiment and offer to buyers a portfolio of expressions (like Bruichladdich) even if their products are not of the highest quality, at least you have a choice of various bottlings….
(sorry, my english is so bad this morning…)
Heartily agree with you, Andre. Following a distillery (of any age) that puts out a variety of new releases is much more interesting than only seeing the same old expression year after year.
Kilchoman has done something on their Web site that, again, sets them apart from most — they've listed all their planned new releases for 2011. Most distilleries don't take this bold step; they're afraid nobody will buy Release X because they're going to hold out for Release Y. Kudos to Kilchoman for letting us see into their crystal ball and for planning such a variety for us.
I reviewed this up against the Autumn '09 and Spring '10 expressions for Guid Scotch Drink and it came out on top (not that you could tell from my notes). Between the Summer 2010 and the New Spirit, I can't wait to see what Kilchoman does next. I'm relatively new at this, but the New Spirit put Kilchoman on the map for me. And, being a fan of Ardbeg, I hope Kilchoman leans that way. Or flat-out runs.
Just picked up a bottle last week ($64) but have yet to open it. Looking forward to comparing notes with you and company, John. Happy Robert Burns Night!
The price is high that's why I got the inaugural release and two more – That is probably it for purchases- The distillery has to make $$ to survive so I am more willing to pay a little extra for places like Kilchoman and Bruichladdich then for the big guys but I also have to limit how much of that I do.
Anyone compare this with Binny's cask strength single barrel version?
Do you know who imports it to the U.S. or more specifically who distributes it in NY?
Jason, Elmira distributes it here.
Thanks Keith.
A fine brie is a more distinguished thing than a good swiss, but I prefer the swiss. Generally I'd prefer the swiss even if it were as expensive as the brie.
I wouldn't trade my half full bottle of Sum.2010 for for a full bottle of Laga 16 or what have you. Sure I taste a tad too much youth (John's mezcal note is right on), but I don't find it opressive. And I taste a lot of other nice things in a balance that I get from very few other Islay whiskies (some of the things I like about octomore show up). I'd like to see it more mature, but I also think it's already a product with a lot to recommend it.
I may well get another bottle when I'm done with it.
Pardon me for being ridiculously off topic, but brie is a pretty narrowly defined regional type of cheese. Swiss cheese has such a variety that it can't be just compared to something like brie. Or did you intend to compare the American generic definitions of "big round soft cheese with white rind" and "sliceable hard cheese with holes" ? For a European like me it's not always easy to see what is meant 😉
A comparison like this sounds to me like comparing Remy Martin XO with "whisky"
That's ok Oliver– I completely see your point. In fact I may have been implying something like it. I've been enjoying Clement VSOP Rum and Siete Legues Anejo Tequila a lot lately and, come to think of it, the way I've been appreciating the Sum. 2010 might be as much grounded in my growing appreciation of those drinks as it is my well established appreciation of scotch– If that makes any sense.
That said, I definitely had the American definitions in mind 🙂
Tried the last 3 versions and must agree with John, the sherry barrel againg brings something rounder and smoother for such a young whisky. This one is sharper than the previous edition. But this is a must have for any islay fan. Must keep an eye on this new distllery, they are doing pretty impressive stuff.
For the price, i saw the bottles are sold around 44£ in England… i paid around 90$ in Kensington Wine and Market in Calgary Alberta Canada… but i was also able to buy the summer release for 35$ in LCBO store Ontario Canada…???? What is the deal ? I really dont understand… That's about half price the already sell it in England ?!….
Picked up a bottle of Kilchoman Summer 2010 for 34.95 CDN…take that you undertaxed barbarians! 😉
The pricing was as a result of what has come to be known as Kilchoman-gate, in Ontario. An incompetent, though welcome, bureaucrat mistakenly priced the bottle at this ridiculously low price. The shelves were empty within two weeks.
We had the same kind of error price in SAQ stores in Quebec…. They sold the Highland Park Earl Magnus for 125$ can… elsewhere, priced from 150 to 185$…
I tasted the Saint Magnus last week (got a bottle from the Canadian Ambassador) and they will sell it 180$ in Quebec. They learn from previous experience. Ambassador also confirm LCBO stores have bought a couple hundred bottles… not so much. SAQ stores bought 60 bottles only.
I was also able to buy a bottle of Kilchoman from LCBO at 35$ before it was sold out… I paid the same bottle 90$ in alberta a couple months before…
I love store errors like those. I once purchased a talisker 18yo and the talisker 175th anniversary, each at $45. I think their regular price was over $70.
I am also one of those who prefer Summer 2010 release to Spring 2010. I did pay much less for Kilchoman Summer 2010
Met the Master Distiller at Binny's, great guy and obvious passion for his brand. Agree on price, but seems standard for an 'artisinal' distillery. Will the winter release be available in the states?
Yes, if they're still on schedule, it should arrive this week.
I just took a small taste as a result of this review. I really like it. It's like a young Ardbeg (same type of smoke, same type of citrus) except the finish is all green olive to me. More expensive but hey, life is short…
Then one should compare with the "For Discussion" Committee bottling Ardbeg (although I believe that is 5 years old) and see how they stack up.
I as well miss the sherry. I think it rounded things out rather nicely and took away some of the more… youthful edges. It made the whole thing seem far more mature than the few years old it is. Without the sherry, it seems QUITE young. Vibrant, yes. But a bit more one-note than it was.
Suntory/Morrison-Bowmore should sell their Mclelland's Islay for $70. Wait, just write on the label "non-chill filtered and no coloring added," bottle at at least 46%, and they could charge $85.
First of all, I want to thank everyone for thier comments and from the sounds of it, support for Kilchoman. I can tell everyone that as the importer (ImpExbev.com), we have had several discussions with the brand owner regarding pricing. We have worked very hard to keep the price point we have at under $65.00. A few of your comments recognized the need for a new distillery to generate cash flow, especially a small one. The expense of a start up is enormous. With that said, we have the new Winter release coming in at about the same price as the summer. Hope you all enjoy.

The Red Sox have signed corner outfielder Jonny Gomes to a 2 year contract worth $10 million, read HERE.
Now all eyes are on Nick Swisher because at this point, it would make no sense for the Red Sox to sign Swish to a big money contract if he's going to platoon with Gomes in the outfield and platoon at first base. So, I found his apology that you're about to read about to be strategic of sorts. Now look, I know his apology is sincere, but I do question the timing.
In Mark Feinsand's piece late last night read HERE, Swisher said: "There's only one thing that I would have taken back," Swisher said, referring to his Oct. 14 comments in which he acknowledged being "hurt" by the fans' boos at the Stadium throughout the postseason.
"It was a bad time, and the end of the season was hard for all of us. If I offended anybody with what I said, I apologize. I didn't mean it; Yankees fans are the greatest in the world," Swisher said. "There's no better place to play than Yankee Stadium in front of that New York fan base."
I like that. It takes a big man to say their sorry. And like I mentioned in NICK SWISHER TO THE RED SOX? I'M GONNA BE SICK, just a few hours before Feinsand's piece was released, I said that as far as I was concerned Swish was forgiven. I understand what happened in this playoff... I totally get it. He felt smothered, attacked and retaliated. Of course he didn't mean it, but he was protecting himself. Now, the dude's about the be a father (in May) and he's out of work. The Red Sox, a big money team just signed Gomes and he probably feels like he walked out of Yankee Stadium without saying goodbye. I told you that "feeling" would eventually bite him in the ass when I wrote HEY NICK... IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! I wrote: "...if they don't get back and the season ends in Detroit, won't it be a
real crappy way for Swisher to end his career in New York? Us fans
booing him and Nick Swisher attempting to get the last word? It's kind
of rotten...on both sides."
Let me tell you something, the best thing Nick could do right now after he started the healing is he walk over to Cashman and take that hometown discount because he's "seen the light". If he did, I'd be thrilled. Nick's a good ball player, a good team player and has a terrific energy in the Yankee clubhouse. He'd be smart to finish he career in the Bronx because let's be honest, the New York Yankees and it's fans are the best thing that ever happened to Nick Swisher... and I think Nick is starting to see the light.
Please comment, we have DISQUS, it's easier than ever. Let me know what you think and follow me on Twitter @BleednYankeeBlu and join the group Bleeding Yankee Blue on Facebook, just type it in.

Yup. We don't agree a player would ask for a life changing amount of money he is due.
Why do you think he owes us because we were the only team to give him a shot? He totally outperformed his current contract and has earned the right to take the best contract offered to him. If he gets more from another team, simply thank him for his contributions and wish him well.
Toughness. The ability to make a catch in traffic with guys draped all over him. In Carolina, he was the only legitimate threat for the longest time. And yet, he still got it done. He'll get his clock cleaned and he'll get back up and go back through the middle again. You can't tell me you see Cruz doing that. The guy falls down on his own because he doesn't want to get hit.

The job of the agent is to make his client the most money. Why would he stay here for less. He grew up a Cowboy fan, it's not like his life long dream was to play for the Giants. Not saying that he isn't thrilled now to be here, but he is going to do whatever gives him and his family the most security. And that's exactly what he should do.

Ehm about the sleeping bag part, it depends on the airline you fly with. As far as I know most major airlines allow 1 or 2 pieces of handluggage, 1 handbag or backpack and a laptopbag or trolley. I'd say it wouldn't be a big problem to cary a sleepingbag and a handbag/backpack. But if you want to be sure I'd say call the airline you're flying with. They will be able to tell you what is allowed and what isn't.
And for money belt if you feel better by having your money in that belt take it. I guess it is kinda safer to put yer money there then in a backpack. And I'd go for backpack over handbag. (but that depends on what you count as handbag ofcourse).
Hope this helps a bit <!--graemlin::D-->.

You can take them on the Airplane, just connect them to your backpack by straps and you should be fine. Perfect type of pack for doing this is any Winter Snowboarding backpack that has Straps in place to carry the snowboard. Simple click it in place and off you go. You could also check it if you have room and don't want to deal with it as most Airlines do allow 2 checked bags with there tickets as long as the combined weight of both of them fall under a certain amount of weight(around 40-50Lb)
After my last trip using a backpack as my daybag I wasn't vert interested in doing it again and will be using a Messenger bag for my next trip. Personally I think it will be safer/better because its across the body and I can discreetly pull the bag in front of me in the Metro and so forth so people cant get theirs in.
If you get a handbang, make sure it has a cross body strap, and something that keeps it shut, zippers/snaps/straps.
In my mind a Money Belt isn't needed for the type of places you go on these tours, but hey overkill is never a bad thing. If you think it will help you, then get one. The better ones in my mind are the ones that fit around your thigh, and make sure you get a "Natural" or skin tone colour, the coloured ones are very easy to spot. - 0 people like this

Yeah sleeping bags are fine. I took mine on the plane with me from Australia to England and back. I had a small backpack with me too. So well within the acceptable limits of carry on luggage.
Money belts can be a good idea. I will definately be getting one before my next trip overseas. The main advantage being your valuables are secured. The paranoia of pickpockets will make you walk around with your hands in your pockets, and constantly checking everything is still there after you need your hands to do something.
Thats from a guys perspective though. I cant speak for the advantages of a handbag over a money belt - 0 people like this

Friends from all corners of the island dressed up and came to relax with Russell in the classy setting. It was a more relaxed affair than in years past, with no scheduled entertainment and no theme; just free tacos and nachos, drinks and good company atop the gorgeous Waikiki Plaza rooftop venue.

'Since doing the positive EFT (training), I spent the next month practising with at least one patient every day...with amazing shifts and results!
This is quite literally taking EFT to the next level and helps shift people to positive states more easily and more quickly. How brilliant, to remove energy disturbances en passant without addressing them directly.

SWISS ALP, TEXAS. Swiss Alp is on U.S. Highway 77 eleven miles south of La Grange in southern Fayette County, in the rolling hills of the Blackland Prairies. It was established about 1865 by German Lutheran settlers, who were followed by Wendish families from Serbin in Lee County. In 1867 the settlers formed the Philadelphia Lutheran Church. A post office opened in 1877, and the population grew from thirty-five in 1884 to 100 in 1896, when the town had twelve businesses and a school associated with the church. The population dropped after 1900, and the post office closed in 1906. In 1967, when the population was thirty, three Lutheran churches from nearby towns merged to form the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Swiss Alp. In 1987 the church continued to serve the surrounding area of dairy farms and cattle operations. In 1990 the population was forty-six. The population remained the same in 2000.

South Capitol Street Corridor
Project Overview
The South Capitol Street Corridor Project calls for replacing the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and transforming related sections of urban freeway into a beautiful scenic boulevard that increases pedestrian and vehicular safety, improves multi-modal transportation options, increases community accessibility and supports economic development on both sides of the Anacostia River.
Preliminary engineering and Right of Way land acquisition for the project have been underway since January 2012. In June 2013, DDOT issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from contractors for design-build construction of the first phase of the project. DDOT evaluated submitted Statements of Qualification from the proposer teams and notified four short-listed contractor teams in January 2014 of their advancement to the second stage of the procurement process with an opportunity to respond to a detailed Request for Proposals (RFP).
On August 13, 2015 the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved the Supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement (SFEIS) and issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the South Capitol Street Corridor Project—both indicating federal approval of the project.
Key project elements include:
- Building a new six-lane Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge;
- Creating a new traffic oval west of the river that connects South Capitol Street, Potomac Avenue and Q Street SW;
- Reconstructing South Capitol Street as a six-lane boulevard with an improved streetscape from the traffic oval to D Street SE/SW and an at-grade intersection at M Street SE;
- Creating a new at-grade traffic oval east of the river that connects South Capitol Street, Suitland Parkway and Howard Road SE;
- Reconstructing the Suitland Parkway/Interstate 295 interchange;
- Constructing a new diamond interchange on Suitland Parkway at Martin Luther King Jr Avenue;
- Improving related portions of New Jersey Avenue, Howard Road, Firth Sterling Avenue, and Sheridan Road SE;
- Increasing bicycle and pedestrian facilities; and
- Improving drainage and storm water management throughout the corridor.
Project Segments
To best manage financing costs and potential construction impacts, DDOT has divided the project into five segments that are to be designed and constructed in two phases.
Phase 1 includes Segments 1 and 2. Segment 1 consists of replacing the existing Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and its approaches with a new bridge and approaches, including also the demolition of the old Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge. Segment 2 consists of constructing a new Suitland Parkway/I-295 Interchange. Phase 2 includes the three remaining segments that are to be advanced in future years.

Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder that causes too much copper to accumulate in your liver, brain and other vital organs. Symptoms typically begin between the ages of 12 and 23.
Copper plays a key role in the development of healthy nerves, bones, collagen and the skin pigment melanin. Normally, copper is absorbed from your food, and any excess is excreted through bile — a substance produced in your liver.
But in people with Wilson's disease, copper isn't eliminated properly and instead accumulates, possibly to a life-threatening level. When diagnosed early, Wilson's disease is treatable, and many people with the disorder live normal lives.
Wilson's disease causes a wide variety of signs and symptoms that are often mistaken for other diseases and conditions. Signs and symptoms vary depending on what parts of your body are affected by Wilson's disease. They may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs and symptoms that worry you. If a family member has been diagnosed with Wilson's disease, your doctor may recommend tests to determine whether you may have Wilson's disease.
Wilson's disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that to develop the disease you must inherit two copies of the defective gene, one from each parent. If you receive only one abnormal gene, you won't become ill yourself, but you're considered a carrier and can pass the gene to your children.
You may be at increased risk of Wilson's disease if your parents or siblings have been diagnosed with the condition. Ask your doctor whether you should undergo genetic testing to find out if you have Wilson's disease. Diagnosing the condition as early as possible dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment.
Wilson's disease can cause serious complications such as:
You're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. If your doctor suspects you may have a liver problem, such as Wilson's disease, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the liver (hepatologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared for your appointment. To prepare for your appointment, try to:
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For Wilson's disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Diagnosing Wilson's disease can be challenging because its signs and symptoms are often indistinguishable from those of other liver diseases, such as hepatitis. What's more, many symptoms may evolve over time rather than appear all at once. Behavioral changes that come on gradually can be especially hard to link to Wilson's. Doctors rely on a combination of symptoms and test results to make the diagnosis.
Tests and procedures used to diagnose Wilson's disease include:
Your doctor may recommend medications called chelating agents, which prompt your organs to release copper into your bloodstream. The copper is then filtered by your kidneys and released into your urine. Treatment then focuses on preventing copper from building up again. When liver damage is severe, a liver transplant may be necessary.
The most common medications used to treat Wilson's disease include:
For people with severe liver damage, a liver transplant may be necessary. During a liver transplant, a surgeon removes your diseased liver and replaces it with a healthy liver from a donor. Most transplanted livers come from donors who have died. But in some cases a liver can come from a living donor, such as a family member. In that case, the surgeon removes your diseased liver and replaces it with a portion of the donor's liver.
If you have Wilson's disease, your doctor might recommend that you limit the amount of copper you consume in your diet. You might also want to have your tap water's copper levels tested if you have copper pipes in your home. And be sure to avoid multivitamins that contain copper.
Foods that contain high amounts of copper include:

Title: | WSB-TV newsfilm clip of Georgia House of Representatives clerk Glenn Wilson Ellard reading a committee report regarding integration at the University of Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia, 1961 January 19 |
Date: | 1960 Jan. 19 |
Description: | In this WSB newsfilm clip from the Georgia House of Representatives in Atlanta, Georgia on January 19, 1961, House clerk Glenn Wilson Ellard reads the report of a special committee on integration at the University of Georgia to the legislative body. The audio portion of the clip fades out at several points. Speaker of the House George L. Smith appointed the special committee "to investigate and ascertain the incidents which were precipitated by the entrance of two Negro students to the University of Georgia, Athens." The recorded sections of the report cover classes, demonstrations, and students, and include a petition signed by university faculty and statements and responses of Dr. Harmon W. Caldwell, Chancellor of the University System and of Robert O. Arnold, chair of the Board of Regents. According to the report, newsmen who were on campus to witness and record the school's integration interfered with classes; on January 19, as many as thirty newsmen followed African American students Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes on campus. After contacting press associations about reporters' behavior, the university was assured of better behavior. The report details several campus demonstrations, including the January 11 riot at Hunter's dorm, Myers Hall, that resulted in minor injuries to several people and the suspension of Hunter and Holmes. The report also highlights the committee's concern that university officials were limiting students' rights to demonstrate and express opinions. Questions and statements between representative George B. Brooks, chair of the special committee and representative for Oglethorpe County, and Chancellor Caldwell focus on the university's regulations of student speech. Next, Ellard reads a portion of a resolution signed by over three hundred faculty members condemning violence and calling for the reinstatement of Hunter and Holmes, who were suspended following the January 11 riot "for their own safety." Ellard finishes by reading questions and statements between committee secretary Hiram K. Undercofler of Sumter County and Robert O. Arnold of the Board of Regents addressing university polices toward students. The full-text of this committee report may be found in the House Journal for this date. Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes first applied to the University of Georgia in July 1959. University officials claimed "lack of space" and refused to admit the two African American students for several quarters. In the fall of 1960, African American attorneys Donald Hollowell, Constance B. Motley, and Horace T. Ward filed a federal lawsuit seeking admission for the two students. Federal judge William A. Bootle on January 6, 1961 ordered the university to admit the two students, ending the university's segregation. Holmes and Hunter registered for classes January 9, and attended their first classes on campus January 11. White students and citizens rioted on January 11 following a basketball game where the University of Georgia team lost to Georgia Tech, leading to the suspension of Hunter and Holmes and their return to Atlanta. Some of the white students who were arrested during the riot were also suspended, leading other legislators to propose bills paying their tuition at other institutions. On January 13, judge Bootle ordered the university to readmit the two students, and they returned to classes January 16. Title supplied by cataloger.

Jeff Sauer '65, who played hockey for Colorado College and went on to coach at CC for 11 seasons, is head coach for the Paralympic sled hockey team at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. The games open March 7 and run through March 16.
The Paralympic version of ice hockey debuted at the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer. Fast-paced and highly physical, it quickly has become one of the largest spectator attractions. Players sit on double-blade sleds that allow the puck to pass beneath them. They use two sticks with spike ends for pushing off and blade ends for shooting. The result, Sauer said, "is a very physical game. This is a hockey game on sleds."
A member of USA Hockey's International Council and Disabled Hockey Committee, as well as president of the American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association, Sauer now is in his third year as the team's coach. He's guided Team USA at the last two World Championships, winning the gold medal in 2012 in Norway and the silver in 2013 in South Korea.
Sauer has coached a wide array of U.S. teams throughout his career. He coached college hockey for more than 30 years, until he retired after the 2001-2002 season from the University of Wisconsin as the fourth-winningest coach in college hockey history.
He was the head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team at the 1995 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men's Championship in Stockholm, Sweden, and at the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle, Wash. He also served as head coach for the U.S. Men's Select Team at the 1989 Pravda Cup in Leningrad, Soviet Union, and at the 1997 Tampere Cup in Tampere, Finland. Read more about Jeff Sauer here.

5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover - Minneapolis, MN
Dr. Ness and his assistant Michaela were amazing at my consultation. I am a curvy woman and was a little hesitant about the whole thing because of this. They made me feel more than comfortable about everything and being in the buff in front of strangers. I highly recommend them. It has been a month after surgery. Dr. Ness's work is amazing. It all looks beautiful. Everyone was great the day of surgery and have been ever since. I would go with no other surgeon.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
One Happy Customer - Plymouth, MN
I researched best plastic surgeons in Minneapolis and went from there. We are happy customers and HIGHLY suggest Dr. John A. Ness. I have always been insecure with the size of my breasts. When it made sense financially, we decided to take the next step. I asked friends for recommendations and started my online research. I found a good site to aid me in picking the perfect plastic surgeon. I came across Dr. Ness and was impressed with his credentials. After viewing the before and after photos we knew we wanted to take the next step and schedule our consutation. Dr. ness and the staff were all friendly and very professional. We knew immediatally we wanted to go with him and scheduled our surgery date. I am almost 1 week post surgery and am very happy with the results. Dr. Ness' work is beautiful. I cannot wait to see my final results as I finish healing.
5 out of 5 stars Body Lift
Male Body Lift and Gynocomastia Reduction - Minneapolis, MN
Dr. Ness is fantastic. He is forthright and incredibly detail-oriented. I felt completely comfortable asking him questions prior to my procedure, and he offered incredible insight into what I would be experiencing post-surgery. Michaela, Dr. Ness' Patient Coordinator, was amazing. She was available, day or night, for any questions or concerns I had and made an uncomfortable and uncertain time in my life far more manageable.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
1 week post-op update
I actually had a consult with another really great doctor when I was searching for my abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty. That doctor was very honest and said she wasn't comfortable doing the nose and recommended Dr. Ness. I was extremely happy with my before, during and after care when I had my abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty with Dr. Ness and his awesome staff. He and his staff are truely wonderful! I can't say enough about them!
5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
Referred by Another Doctor - Plymouth, MN
I was referred to Dr. Ness by another doctor who felt he would not be able to give me the results I was hoping for. After consulting with other surgeons I am SO happy I ended up choosing Dr. Ness for my abdominoplasty. I am very happy with my results. Dr. Ness and his entire staff have shown nothing less than excellence with their attentiveness and professionalism throughout this entire process.
5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck with Hip Liposuction - Plymouth, MN
My first experience with Dr. Ness and his PC Michaela was in November 2012 and I was scheduled in January 2013 for surgery. I had to cancel because I changed jobs. I had researched Dr. Ness and his private practice was opened around 2011 but he had been practicing and well respected in his field for quite some time. When we had our consultation we just clicked. When he marked me for my surgery I admired his artistry. Pro's He requires no consultation fee which I think is great. If you live more in Central MN vs. Twin Cities You can have all of your consults/follow-up visits at St Cloud office The Surgery Center at West Health Michaela makes the experience. You can text her anytime day or night with questions. She responds back quickly. When you have your drain she checks in with you every day. She made herself available at 7 pm just to remove my drain after I got back from my CA trip. Follow ups are easy and a breeze Your post op compression garment and the next step garment are included in the price. Only thing you pay for afterward is your oleeva scar shape $100 Cons If your from out of town, you need to stay overnight in a hotel to have your 24 hour follow up. It's definitely not as comfortable but the Residence Inn close by has a kitchen and a little more like home. Dr. Ness wasn't there after surgery just the west health staff. Michaela checked in there after. You don't get a lot of time with him but he is good at the important part, surgery and a good result.

Disappointed and Depressed at 6 Weeks Post Op - Minneapolis, MN
Even though I had a difficult experience I would have to rate the above areas as top notch in every way. The medical assistant even made a house call 45 miles mile away from the office to help me with recovery, you don't get that from anybody else in today's world!
